Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our department believes in experiential learning that bridges theory with practice. Project-based learning is integral to our curriculum, with students engaging in both individual and group projects throughout their academic journey.
The mini-projects undertaken in the second and third years are designed to reinforce foundational concepts while encouraging critical thinking. These projects often involve research papers, policy briefs, or mock trials that simulate real-world legal challenges.
The final-year thesis/capstone project allows students to explore a specialized area of interest in depth. They select their topic with guidance from faculty mentors and conduct original research or propose innovative solutions to contemporary legal issues.
Students are paired with mentors based on shared interests and career goals. The mentorship system ensures continuous support, feedback, and professional development throughout the project lifecycle.
