About us
Post Graduate Teaching Department of Law was established in the
year 1963 under the Third Five Year Plan on the basis of the
recommendations of UGC. The Department was established to promote
advanced training in law and research. Our University adopted a
Ph.D Ordinance which permitted registration of students for the
Ph.D. Programme in Law. It became effective from the academic
session 1973-74.
In the year 2002, the Semester Pattern was introduced and the
present syllabus is based on the model curriculum framed by the
University Grant Commission. This change in syllabus was much
awaited and a demand was there to include new developments in the
field of Law. To make this course more career oriented, the entire
syllabus was modified thoroughly. At present, institutionalized
instructions are offered in SEVEN specializations in the
department which include:
Group A International Law
Group B Constitutional Law and Administrative Law
Group C Intellectual Property Laws
Group D Business Law
Group E Environment and Legal Order
Group F Labour, Capital and Law
Group G Criminal Law
The whole syllabus of each group is divided into four semesters. At the end of each semester, a University Exam is conducted. There are six compulsory [Foundation] papers common to all groups, which includes a Sociolegal Research [Empirical] in Third Semester and a Dissertation [Doctrinal Research] in Fourth Semester. In the year 2005-2006, a new subject: Computer and Information Technology Law, has been added as a compulsory subject to keep pace with the changing times. This paper includes theory as well as practicals on computers. There are six optional papers to be chosen from any of the aforesaid seven groups, distributed into two papers each in first three semesters. For every paper total marks allotted are 100, out of which 20 marks are kept for Internal Assessment and 80 marks for theory paper. For Internal Assessment, various activities of candidates are taken into consideration, like performance in internal examinations, attendance, assignments, paper presentations, participation in conferences, seminars, legal literacy campaigns etc. Results are declared on the basis of overall performance of all four semesters.
Infrastructure: The Department is located in the heart of the city approachable easily from the Railway Station (5 Km), as well as Airport (8 Km). Department is having all infrastructure to run the various courses in the Department. We have modern teaching aids like OHPs and LCD and a well equipped computer lab with internet facility.
