Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The Law program at Rungta International Skills University Durg emphasizes project-based learning as a core component of the curriculum. This approach encourages students to engage in hands-on research and practical application of legal principles, preparing them for real-world legal challenges.
Mini-projects are assigned in the second and third years of the program. These projects are designed to develop critical thinking, research, and analytical skills. Students are required to select a topic of interest, conduct a literature review, and present their findings in a formal report or presentation.
The final-year thesis or capstone project is a significant component of the program. Students choose a research topic that aligns with their interests and career goals. They work closely with a faculty mentor to develop a research proposal, conduct research, and present their findings in a comprehensive thesis or project report.
The evaluation criteria for these projects include the depth of research, originality of ideas, clarity of presentation, and the ability to apply legal principles to real-world situations. Students are also assessed on their ability to work independently and collaborate with peers.
Faculty mentors are selected based on their expertise in the student's chosen area of research. The university provides resources and support to help students succeed in their projects, including access to legal databases, research tools, and writing workshops.
