Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our department believes that project-based learning is instrumental in developing practical skills and deepening theoretical understanding. The curriculum incorporates both mandatory mini-projects and a final-year capstone thesis to ensure students can synthesize knowledge across disciplines.
Mini-Projects
Mini-projects are undertaken during the third and fourth semesters. These projects involve small groups of 3-5 students working under faculty supervision on specific legal issues or research questions. Projects typically span 8-10 weeks and require a formal report, presentation, and peer feedback.
Final-Year Thesis/Capstone Project
The capstone project is the culmination of the LLB program, requiring students to independently conduct original legal research or advocate for a complex case. Students select topics in consultation with faculty mentors, develop a research proposal, collect evidence, draft findings, and defend their work before a panel of experts.
Selection Process
Students may propose project ideas based on their interests and available faculty expertise. Alternatively, faculty members suggest topics aligned with current legal trends or research priorities. Selection is made through a competitive process that evaluates academic performance, interest level, and feasibility.
Evaluation Criteria
Projects are assessed based on originality of approach, depth of analysis, clarity of presentation, adherence to academic standards, and contribution to legal knowledge. Final grades are determined by faculty evaluators using rubrics that consider methodology, content quality, and communication effectiveness.
