2 and section 12-B of the UGC Act, 1956 and has permanent affiliation from the Bar Council of
India. The Chief Justice of India is the Chancellor of the University and Chairman of its highest
governing body - the General Council.

In its relatively short existence, NUJS has firmly established itself as one of the premier national
law universities in India. It has consistently been ranked amongst the top law schools in India in
reviews conducted by the likes of Outlook India, Mint and LexisNexis Halsbury‘s Law Monthly.
The University had received the prestigious SILF-MILAT INSTITUTIONAL EXCELLENCE
AWARD 2015 for its overall excellence in the field of Legal Studies.

Location and Infrastructure:

NUJS is located in the city of Kolkata, a major metropolis of India. Kolkata, the City of Joy, is
renowned for its heritage and culture. A subtle blend of tradition and modernity distinguishes the
city. The old Kolkata thrives alongside the growing expanses of modern townships, including
Salt Lake City, where the NUJS campus is situated.

The campus itself comprises of one academic and three residential blocks (i.e. two seven-
storied halls of residence for girls and boys each and a two-storied staff accommodation
quarters NUJS has also received adjacent land of 3025.75 sq. metres for construction of
additional hostel facilities, staff quarters, conference rooms, guest house and other
amenities for the students. The Academic Block, named after Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, is a four-
storied majestic edifice in stone, having 105 rooms in all. The NUJS campus provides all
modern amenities— air-conditioned classrooms of varying sizes, seminar halls,
conference rooms, moot court hall and an air-conditioned auditorium (with a seating

Legal Education:

Faculty at NUJS adopt the Socratic method of teaching, involving extensive classroom
discussion and debate. The academic year is divided into two semesters of equal
duration, which are followed by examinations at the end of each semester. For each
course, students undergo rigorous skill development through project writing, viva voce
and class presentations. The courses combine purely legal theories with social sciences,
to provide our students with a holistic appreciation of law in its interaction with society
from a multi-disciplinary perspective. These include inter alia Gender and Law, Law and
Public Policy, Law and Development, Corporate Finance, International Commercial
Arbitration, Securities Law, Judicial Review, Competition Law, Nuclear Law, International
Human Rights Law, Sports Law and Law and Economics, which give students the
opportunity to specialize in their preferred areas of study. In principle, only foundational
courses are compulsory while all the rest are electives. Different forms of evaluation
including open-book exams, seminars, research papers, tutorials and court room
exercises are used in these courses. Grading of results is done on a seven-point scale.

At the end of each semester, students intern in various organizations including law firms,
senior counsel chambers, corporate in-house legal departments, NGOs, research and policy
think-tanks, etc. while the choice of internships remain with students, University also
provides assistance in arranging internships through the Recruitment and Placement
Committee.

The students are also encouraged to participate in serious research, writing and academic
scholarship through the medium of the University‘s in-house law journals and publications.
NUJS Law Review, which is a quarterly publication, also been ranked as the number one
academic law journal of India by the Washington and Lee University School of Law ranking
of law journals. Other Law journals include the Journal of Indian Law and Society, Asian
Journal of Air and Space Law, Asian Journal of Legal Education, International Journal of
Law and Policy Review and International Journal of Legal Studies & Research.

various Universities including King‘s College London; The University Of Waikato, New
Zealand; Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University Of Technology (Makaut, W.B.), National
Institute of Technical Teachers' Training & Research (NITTTR), Kolkata; Central Forensic

All Round Education:

NUJS has a diverse and vibrant student community hailing from all parts of India, and includes
several foreign nationals. While the key focus is academics, the students are also keenly
involved in sporting and cultural exchanges and activities, with teams regularly excelling at
various national level competitions. Student societies of NUJS organize five major annual
events — the literary-cum-cultural extravaganza- Outlawed, the national sports festival- Invicta,
the NUJS-Herbert Smith National Corporate Law Moot Court Competition, Justice Dr. BP Saraf
National Tax Moot Court Competition and the NUJS Parliamentary Debate. These events
attract enormous participation from the best law schools in the country.

Student societies also conduct popular year-round competitions in music, dance,


painting, quizzing, debating, creative writing and sports. Adding colour to life at NUJS are the
western and eastern music bands, which have proved their mettle at competitions all across
the country. NUJS also has a vibrant SPICMACAY chapter, and has hosted performers like Pt.
Hariprasad Chaurasia, Pt. Shiv kumar Sharma and Smt. Shovana Narain. Writer‘s Block, the
college magazine, contains campus news, contributions in prose and poetry, giving students
with literary inclinations the chance to showcase their talent.

Students at NUJS are ever-aware of their social responsibilities. The Legal Aid Society provides
a platform for students to apply the knowledge and skills acquired in the classroom and
meaningfully contribute to the community. The Society takes up legal causes of indigent people
either independently or in association with other organizations, assists other law schools in
setting up their legal aid clinics and programmes, organizes legal awareness camps and street
plays in urban and rural areas, and conducts adult education and legal awareness courses for
mess, housekeeping, security and other supporting staff of NUJS. Students have also begun
assisting pro bono lawyers from Human Rights Law Network (HRLN) in pending cases before
the Juvenile Justice Board in Kolkata. NUJS believes that it is only such holistic legal
education that can create the well-rounded leaders of tomorrow.

The University has an enviable track record in moot court competitions. NUJS students emerged
as the first Indian and only the second Asian team to win the prestigious Willem C. Vis
International Commercial Arbitration Moot, Vienna. They have also been the proud winners of the
ELSA Moot Court Competition, held in Dominican Republic. In addition, NUJS students have also
won honours in Willem C. Vis (East) International Commercial Arbitration Moot, Hong Kong, the
Stetson International Environment Moot Court Competition, Florida, Manfred Lachs Space Law
Moot, Stetson International Environment Law Moot, Oxford Price Media Moot Court Competition,
along with almost every National moot court competition of note. NUJS students have also won
several essay competitions, attended and presented papers at conferences all over the world,
and have secured regular publications in peer-reviewed journals of international repute.

With such a comprehensive academic and co-curricular programme, it is scarcely surprising


that in the relatively short span of the University‘s existence, NUJS alumni have
distinguished themselves in a range of careers, not only on the national but also on the
international stage. NUJS alumni Meet is held now every year to strengthen bonds the
University and the alumni for the purpose of leveraging the alumni community towards
fulfillment of University‘s role in promoting cutting edge legal education.

The Student Recruitment Committee at NUJS boasts of a near 100% success rate in
recruitment almost every year. Graduating students join leading law firms and companies in
India and abroad, clerk with judges at the Supreme Court, and work towards the betterment
of society with prestigious NGOs. Several alumni are litigators at the Supreme Court and
various High Courts.

Each year an increasing number of NUJS students gain admission to prestigious universities in
U.K. like Oxford and Cambridge, and Ivy League universities of the U.S. such as Yale, Harvard
and NYU. Many of them have been awarded prestigious scholarships like RHODES,
CHEVENING and INLAKS to pursue higher studies.

faculty includes Rhodes, Fulbright, Commonwealth and Chevening scholars, and alumni

government, the Centre for Regulatory Studies, Governance & Public Policy(CRSGPP) was
established at NUJS for its research activities across Bengal. Several lectures and workshops
have been conducted by the Centre since its inception. WBNUJS had also received Fund from
Department of Justice, Govt of India for ADR research and from Ministry of Consumer Affairs
Food and Public Distribution for organizing various Consumer related courses. During the
Covid period NUJS conducted various online national and international seminars in field IPR,
Public Policy, Financial Law Environmental Law and Criminal Justice system.

Fees &Scholarships

Despite being able to achieve the status of an academic institution of exceptional caliber, NUJS
has maintained a relatively modest fee structure. It further seeks to ensure that no student is
forced to discontinue studies on account of financial constraints. With generous donations from
individual donors and institutions, the University has built up a Scholarship Fund, proceeds of
which are disbursed to students every year on a ―need‖ basis. The Government of West Bengal
has provided the University with a generous grant for revenue expenditure including supporting
the ‗means-cum-merit scholarship‘ granted by the University. Rupees 50 lakhs has been
earmarked for supporting scholarship program.

The alumni of NUJS have also instituted many scholarships. Arrangements are in place for
students of NUJS to secure educational loans from any bank of their choice on mutually
agreeable terms. NUJS aims to reach out to potential candidates across the length and breadth
of India and aboard. It provides quality education to those hailing from the most marginalized
and poorest sections of society. All efforts are made to provide free or subsidized education
to such students. NUJS also offers separate scholarships sponsored by various donors. In
addition, NUJS Students can also avail of various scholarship schemes sponsored by the
Central Government and the State Government for underprivileged and economically weaker
sections.
Towards Creating Leaders and Social Engineers:

NUJS perceives legal education as a potent instrument that will help bring about improved
social order contributing to national development.

Globalisation has thrown up new challenges and newer issues of concern. NUJS students are
expected to adequately arm themselves to combat these challenges for the future. The
standards of conduct and rigor at NUJS are already quite demanding. Those who join NUJS
are expected not only to sustain, but also to improve upon these standards. NUJS promises the
best returns for their dedication, labour and committed efforts. In all, the NUJS experience will
enable students to think out of the box and equip them with skills necessary to transform them
into the social engineers and leaders of tomorrow.
