CRITERION-I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS
At NLUD curriculum is developed under the broader policies laid down by the
under Graduate council and adopted by the Academic Council. The under
graduate Five Year Integrated B.A.,LL.B. (Hons.) programme is divided into ten
semester. In each semester a student studies 5 courses and thus in 10 semesters
there are 50 courses. In 50 courses, 4 are clinical courses (clinical legal education)
and 6 are seminar courses. Out of remaining 40 course subjects, 6 are social
sciences and the law, and 2 are language and the law, remaining 32 are law
subjects. There are newly 54 model seminar topics which are listed, out of which
students can choose and enrich themselves in the chosen area. Each course is for
100 marks out of which 25 is for project written submission and oral presentation.
5 is for attendance, 20 for mid-term test and remaining 50 is for annual (end)
semester examination. This makes the students subjected to better assessment and
develop thesis writing and presentation skills.
The UG and PG programmes have been designed in such a way to meet the
requirements of competent and independent legal professionals. The University in
its curriculum has integrated the study of law with other Social Sciences such as
Sociology, Economics and Political Science. They provide the students with a
perspective to understand the social science and humanities dimensions of law
courses. In addition to them, certain courses provide a legal perspective to
contemporary issues affecting Indian Society.
The University programmes seek to inculcate in the students a research
orientation in recognition of the fact that Law is not static and needs to evolve in
accordance with the changing times. This means that students and lawyers have
to have an attitude to question and find answers to those questions. This can only
come about if students don’t do learning by rote.
Subject teachers have the freedom to frame their own course curriculum after
consultation with experts in respective subject and other stakeholders.
The latest development in the field of law and its practical implication are taken
into account in the finalization of course curriculum and reading materials.
The NLU, Delhi facilitates the students to assimilate the fundamentals of their
respective courses with practical understanding. The University creates
independent and competent professionals who can excel in any profession across
the globe.
Each semester the students are also given exposure to professional working
environment through internships. NLUD Legal Aid Clinic ensures learning about
the law and its working in the legal world. Professional training is given through
Moot Court participation and competitions at internal and external levels.
The University makes the curriculum revision periodically before the beginning
of each Semester and each course teacher has to give his/her course outline and
teaching materials. The students are provided with teaching materials and course
outline at the beginning of each Semester.
Classes have been arranged in such a way that every day from 9 am to 1:30 pm
(with 15 minutes break for tea), five subjects are taught in five periods through
cooperative teaching accompanied by two teachers for each subject. Thus students
have a continuity of lectures without any break or breakdown of classes during
the entire week.
LL.M. curriculum is newly designed for One Year programme. As required under
UGC guideline for establishment of one year LL.M. programme, a Centre for Post
Graduate Legal Studies (CPGLS) has been established to look after the academic

CRITERION-II: TEACHING LEARNING EVALUATION
The NLUD initiates the admission process in January every year and conducts All
India Law Entrance Test (AILET) of its own on the first Sunday of May every
year after giving wide publicity in the leading News Papers and through its
website.
The teaching and learning process in the University, starts from the month of
August by supplying to each student, course outline for each subject prepared by
the teacher concerned (collaborating teaching). There are two teachers for each
subject and each subject is listed in the time table every day from Monday to
Friday. Lectures are assigned every day and this continuity of lectures provide
the students without any breakdown. Teaching and learning process thus is
maintained continuously on every subject on every day. Teaching and reading
material are given in advance. Teachers adopt the lecture methods, case law
methods, or mixture of both. The interactive classroom teaching method is
supported by the modern technology like computerized podium, LCD projector,
internet connectivity, OHP and e-learning resources. Discussion with concerned
teachers on project assignments in each of the five subjects, enable the teachers to
give individual attention to the students. Students get the opportunity to make
clear their doubts as each subject has tutorial period in the afternoons from
Monday to Friday every week. In the beginning of every Semester, projects are
assigned in each subject on a topic for every student or for group of students.
Students have to prepare their project by researching, by way of data collection
and analysis of the data and submit their conclusion with latest facts and figures
and gist of the project have to be made by way of oral presentation. Every student
has to put up 75% attendance for each of the subject separately and the concerned
teacher daily uploads the students attendance in the NLUD website so that
students including their parents will be able to know the attendance position then
and there up to date. For learning of practical subjects like CPC, CrPC, special
lectures by senior lawyers, are arranged frequently. To develop drafting skills
drafting exercise are given by the concerned teachers in the clinical subjects.
Court Room services are also given to the students as one of the clinical subjects
by way of Moot Court and court visits. ADR and Legal aid clinic are other
clinical subject to promote practical knowledge to the students.
NLUD provides continuous evaluation system by way of conducting Mid-term
Test, Project Presentation and annual end-semester examination. Every student in
each of the five courses (subject) in a semester has to submit a project topic
before appearing for the end-semester examination. The topic is assigned by the
teacher to every student at the beginning of the semester. They also have to
submit oral presentation on the topic. Each carry 20+5= 25 marks. A minimum of
75% attendance is required for eligibility to appear for the end-semester
examination in each subject. 5 marks are allotted for the attendance. A mid-term
test in each subject is conducted for 20 marks. The annual end-semester
Examination carries 50 marks which is conducted in June. Repeat examinations
are also conducted for odd semester in February and even semester in August.
Thus a chance is given in the repeat so that students can clear any backlog then
and there and this will also help them for their promotion to next year. Question
Papers are set by the teacher who teaches the subject and is evaluated by the very
same teacher and after objective evaluation, students see their performance in the
subject as each subject paper is shown to the student after evaluation. This system
introduces the transparency and objectivity in evaluation. The courses (subject)
are divided into three groups as course subject, clinical subject, seminar papers
and credit weightage is given. Thus the University has adopted Cumulative Grade
Point Average (CGPA) system of grading. A student is expected to study
regularly from the beginning of each semester. The Internal Quality Assurance
Cell (IQAC) of the institution has set the standard and continuously monitor the
whole system as per the parameter laid down by the UGC and NAAC.

CRITERIA-WISE INPUTS
CRITERION-I: CURRICULAR ASPECTS
1.1
CURRICULUM DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
1.1.1
How is the institutional vision and mission reflected in the academic
programmes of the university?
The Vision of the University is that ‘we must become the change we want to see
in the world’ i.e., each one of us who is part of this institution should be
remembered for promotion of social justice, which will be our contribution to the
society. To achieve our vision, it is our endeavour to make legal education as
justice education, an instrument of social, political and economic change, and to
prepare lawyers who will not only be competent in the art of advocacy at various
levels, but also skilled in judicial administration. They will be shaped as agents of
change to help the country achieve its development goals for future generations.
The primary mission of the University will be to create lawyers who are
professionally competent, technically sound and socially relevant and equipped to
address the imperatives of new millennium and uphold constitutional values.
It is with this perspective that the curriculums of the various academic
programmes of the University have been designed.
•
•
The UG and PG programmes have been designed in such a way so as to meet the
requirements of competent and independent legal professionals. The University in
its curriculum has integrated the study of law with other Social Sciences such as
Sociology, Economics and Political Science. They provide the students with a
perspective to understand the social science and humanities dimensions of law
courses. In addition to them, certain courses provide a legal perspective to
contemporary issues affecting Indian Society.
•
The University programmes seek to inculcate in the students a research orientation
in recognition of the fact that Law is not static and needs to evolve in accordance
with the changing times. This means that students and lawyers have to have an
attitude to question and find answers to those questions. This can only come about
if students don’t do learning by rote. They ought to deal with research issues and
come up with the solutions. But for this a habit has to be inculcated. This is the
necessary skill for a lawyer practicing in appellate courts, but is also desirable for
anyone who wishes to contribute to the evolution of society. With this perspective
in mind, National Law University, Delhi, in all its courses taught in different
programmes requires the students to submit a research project. The research
projects are on the relevant burning social issues of the day. In addition, the LL.M.
students are required to write a dissertation.
•
The University has an active moot court programme. There is a rigorous internal
screening process by which the University moot court team is selected. Thereafter,
the selected students represent the University at various National and International
moot court competitions. The moot problems are on contemporary issues and
preparation for them not only equips the students in the technical and legal aspects
of the concerned problem, but also enables them to develop the art of advocacy.
National Law University, Delhi believes that students are here not only to acquire
knowledge, but also contribute to its growth. With this end in mind, it has
facilitated the participation of students in different research projects undertaken by
it. The student body contributes not only to journals brought out by National Law
University, Delhi but also of other Universities and those brought out by publishers.

development of the curriculum? If yes, give details of the process (need assessment,

Innovation
Innovation is something which is necessary for development of the profession. Law
is an evolving subject and not static. The teaching of different courses does
introduce the students to the reasoning behind various judicial precedents and
factors which influenced the legislative interventions. For a lawyer, each case has
two aspects and it is the lawyer’s job to present his client’s case. This approach to
the study of law is instilled in the mind of students. The class room teaching and
examination evaluation criteria are based with above mention objectives.
The NLU, Delhi ensures academic freedom to teachers to innovate and evolve the
course curriculum. By innovation in the curriculum the university facilitates the
development of reasoning in the minds of the students.
Research
NLU, Delhi promotes research by prescribing project to every student in each
subject on a given topic and make them acquaint with the research problems.

uniformity and to generate quality research. At the PG level a separate course on
research methodology is prescribed and they have been submitting dissertation
around 150 pages on chosen topic.
The University has many research centres and the students are encouraged to
associate with them. Students are selected for various research projects by these
centres on the basis of their academic performance and abilities and have
contributed a lot to the research output of these centres.
1.1.4 To what extent does the university use the guidelines of the regulatory bodies
for developing and/or restructuring the curricula? Has the university been
instrumental in leading any curricular reform which has created a national
impact?
The curriculum of the various programmes of the university is based on the
guidelines of the regulatory bodies i.e. Bar Council of India and University Grants
Commission. The University recognizes that these guidelines are only basic
requirements. However NLU, Delhi prescribes additional specialized courses
keeping in mind the employability, innovation in the research.

students of the batch for the purpose of recruitment.
The Committee, governed by its own Constitution, comprises a group of seven/five
students who have been elected by the Batch democratically, through the process of
secret ballot voting.
Recruitment Process Rules
The Recruitment Co-Ordination Committee (“RCC”) has formed the rules as stated
below to facilitate the process to ensure optimal flexibility to recruiters/prospective
recruiters. The recruitment process can be seen as a step-by-step process.
Step One
Recruiters are encouraged to conduct Pre Placement Talks (PPT) to interested students in
the University giving important information such as the profile of the organization, career
prospects, compensation packages, etc. These PPTs can be conducted at any time before
the Pre Interview Screening.
Step Two
Recruiters can conduct a Pre Interview Screening Process any time before the interview
day. Recruiters are free to determine their own policy for the Screening Process to
shortlist students. In case the Recruiter has no particular method of pre interview
screening, the Curricula Vitae of all interested students shall be forwarded to the
Recruiter.
Step Three
After the completion of Pre Interview Screening, the Recruiter shall formulate a Final
Interview List which shall be communicated by the Recruiter to the RCC at least 48
(forty eight) hours prior to the interview day along with a wait list of students. In case any
Applicant who is selected in the Final Interview List is not available for the interview
then the Recruiter can interview the Waitlist Candidates instead, if the Recruiter
considers this appropriate.
In case the recruiter has no procedure for pre interview screening, the list of interested
students shall automatically become the Final Interview List.
Step Four
All interviews being conducted in the same day may be conducted in different time slots.
However all results will be declared simultaneously by the RCC at the end of day to
ensure no recruiter is prejudiced. The Recruiters will be required to disclose the results of
their Final Interviews and any Offer made to Applicant(s) only through the RCC which
will be communicated in a sealed envelope.
5.1.14 Give the number of students selected during campus interviews by different
employers (list the employers and the number of companies who visited the campus
during the last four years).

II. Student experience with Death Penalty Research Project, NLU, Delhi
The experience of student researchers of the Death Penalty Research Project has been an
invaluable learning. They had an opportunity to listen to the experiences of people with
the criminal justice system and to travel to remote parts of the country that one seldom
otherwise visits. This has contributed immensely to our growth as persons, and as
lawyers.
Students researchers also heard experiences of prisoners and families in court, how they
were unable to hear proceedings, and unable to understand criminal proceedings due to
language barriers and the highly technical nature of legal arguments. It is only when one
hears these experiences that one can work effectively towards overhauling our criminal
justice system, and such an experience is essential for any law student.
During the course of the Death Penalty Research Project, students had the opportunity to
visit several prisons in the country, to speak to Jailors and Superintendants, prison staff,
and prisoners on death row, and thereby to gain multiple perspectives on prison life.
Overall, student researcher have gained a wealth of understanding about criminal law and
its impact on the lives of people, an understanding that is essential for any lawyer before
we embark into our legal practice.

liberalization. Yet the smooth sailing requires the compass called Rule of Law. We have
mixed track record on this count. India has established itself as a democracy which is a
success on the macro participative process of governance. Yet, there are other crucial
issues of internal dimension.
-‐
There is a complex task of assimilation of the fractured social classes for centuries
in such participation.
-‐ Cumulative economic progress needs to reach the various layers to create a
development index which is fair and equitable.
-‐ Most importantly a transparent and speedy justice administration system which
reinforces the faith in Rule of Law.

7.2. Innovations
7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years which have
created a positive impact on the functioning of the University
The University decided that research, and legal policy formulation would be an area that
it would focus upon. This was based on the recognition that most law universities in India
have only confined themselves to teaching, rather than doing both teaching and research.
With this focus in mind, the University encouraged its faculty to engage in research
activities; it also sought linkages and made collaborations for research and advocacy
projects; it also welcomed any consultancy that it could undertake for Government,
Courts, and other institutions/organizations. This paid rich dividend, both in terms of
getting generous research grants, as well as enhancing the reputation of the University.
NLU Delhi and its faculty are now actively involved in most law reform initiatives in the
country. This in turn has also led to the University’s reputation being enhanced, leading
to students opting to join NLU Delhi over other older law schools.
7.3 BEST PRACTICES
7.3.1 Give details of any two best practices which have contributed to better
academic and administrative functioning of the University
1. Title of the Practice
a) Empowering the faculty
Frequent meeting of the teachers, Capacity Development Programmes by Experts,
Special Lectures, Seminars, Workshops and promoting research among the faculty.
b) Transparency in teaching-learning evaluation process
The teacher while teaching in the classroom encourages clarifications questions etc. from
the students. In the tutorial periods in the afternoons students interact with the teachers
closely by way of discussion etc. In the evaluation process it is the teacher who teaches
the subject set the papers, evaluate the papers and evaluated papers are shown to students.
The students are allowed to discuss about the evaluation with the teacher.
2. Objectives of the Practice
The University decided to focus on research, and legal policy formulation. This was
based on a recognition that most successful universities across the world focus on
research, which contributes to policy formulation, law making, and development of the
society. It also enriches class room teaching, since faculty are able to use the experience
gained through their research in their class room teaching. Further, it also gives
opportunities to students to not only be involved in research projects as research
assistants, but also to develop interest and aptitude in areas of interest, based on work that
they have done. The University also recognized that the impetus on research, will serve in
enhancing the reputation of the University.
3. The Context
The contextual feature, as mentioned earlier, was the lack of research focus in law
universities. At the same time, there is demand for evidence based work in law, as well as
demand from various agencies, including the government for studies on various legal
issues. This includes standing committees of Parliament, Supreme Court of India and
High Courts, the Law Commission of India, the National Human Rights Commission, to
name a few. In this context, the role of a leading law school is to fill the gap and provide
the evidence based work and research required for legal policy formulation.
There are certainly various challenges that are faced in designing and implementing such
a research based system. The primary hurdle would be human resources – being able to
put together a team which has the aptitude and capability of undertaking such work,
across disciplines, including inter-disciplinary research. It was in this context that the
University took the initiative to set up a National Law Teachers Academy, to train law
teachers from across the country on various areas of law. It collaborated with Cornell
University, and the Late Prof. Theodore Eisenberg, a leading figure in empirical legal
research, to conduct training programmes on empirical legal research. Thus, an attempt is
also being made to develop human resources to effectively conduct the nature of research
required in premier legal institutions.
4. The Practice
The research focus that National Law University, Delhi undertook is a unique feature of
National Law Universities. However, in our opinion, the other National Law Universities
in the country have not developed the research potential as NLU Delhi has done. The
Governing Bodies of the University first provided approval for establishment of research
centres. Generous funding, including provision of a corpus for research was established.
In order to effectively conduct research, adequate library resources are must. From a
generous grant provided by the family of Justice T.P.S. Chawla, the library was
established. Adequate books on various areas of law and social sciences were procured.
The best available online resources for legal and social sciences research were also
subscribed to. This provided the foundation for the University to begin work on various
projects that were assigned to it, be it the Universal Periodic Review of the UN Human
Rights Council, or work undertaken by the University for various organizations and
entities. The University encouraged its faculty members to apply for research grants to
the UGC and other funding agencies, such as the ICSSR. This led to faculty members
getting prestigious research grants from these funding agencies for important research
projects. International funding agencies, such as the Mac Arthur foundation and TIDES
also recognized the work of the University, and provided substantial grants to the Centre
for Communication Governance. Using the excellent work done by the Centres and
faculty members, the University was able to get more research projects and consultancies.
This also led to specialized courses being offered to students on various areas of law, and
inter-disciplinary courses. Students also got an opportunity to work with the faculty
members, and the research centres on the projects.
Further, as mentioned earlier, in order to develop human resources, the University also
began training programmes for faculty members, not only of NLU Delhi, but of other law
schools as well. The expertise of resource persons invited for these training programmes
was also used to develop the research agenda, and to take their input and advice on
projects being undertaken.
The challenge in implementing the agenda was financial and infrastructural resources.
The University having been established only in 2008, had limited physical space for each
of the centres. Further, it was, and still remains difficult to raise financial resources of the
nature and amount required to effectively implement research projects and embark on
newer ones.
5. Evidence of Success
The primary evidence of success has been the acknowledgement and praise that the
University and its faculty have received for the work that they have done. The work of
Prof. Ranbir Singh for the UPR has been appreciated. Further, the Law Commission of
India has regularly acknowledged the contribution of the University and its faculty to its
work. The nature and quality of the research output of the University led to its being able
to get more grants from funding agency, including the prestigious Mac Arthur
Foundation. Faculty members have also been awarded Major Research Projects by the
UGC, and by ICSSR. Leading academics from across the world, including Vice
Chancellors and Deans of the best Universities and schools, such as Yale, Oxford, and
Cambridge have visited the University, given talks, and interacted with the faculty.
Linkages have been made with Universities in Europe, Australia, Asia, the Americas, and
Africa for collaborative research, student and faculty exchange. Some of these efforts
have also led to strengthening the PhD and LLM programmes of the University.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required
The major challenge has been infrastructure and financial resources. The University has a
small campus. Space is not sufficient to provide the adequate physical space for all
research centres. Getting funding for research is also a challenge. As mentioned earlier,
the University also aims to develop human resources by doing training programmes,
under the aegis of the National Academy of Law Teachers. For some of the programmes
that the University has conducted, there has been enthusiastic response and the University
has been forced to curtail the number of trainees, because of lack of space to
accommodate the trainees. These are some of the problems encountered.
Part-III
