All About Five-Year Integrated Law Programmes (B.A. LL.B. and B.B.A. LL.B.) at SLS Nagpur

Programmes Offered by SLS Nagpur

SLS Nagpur offers two five-year integrated undergraduate programmes:

● B.A. LL.B.: Interlinks law with humanities and social sciences to build contextual understanding of governance, policy, and society.

● B.B.A. LL.B.: Combines management and law for competence in corporate governance, finance, and compliance.

Both programmes are organised across ten semesters with emphasis on research, drafting, advocacy, and problem-solving.

Eligibility: 10+2 or equivalent from a recognised board with 45% marks ( 40% for SC/ST).

Teaching Methodology and Academic Approach

Instruction is learner-centric and experiential: lectures, the Socratic method, activity-based learning, field visits, seminars, group discussions, simulations, case studies, moots, mock trials, and ICT-enabled sessions by visiting international faculty.

Assessment methods include tutorials, case analyses, situation-based problems, essays, seminar presentations, viva-voce, quizzes, drafting exercises, moot courts, mock trials, learning logs, computer-based assessments, and simulated interviews. Students undergo systematic internships with law firms, government bodies, NGOs, and courts including High Courts and the Supreme Court of India.

Centres and Student Activities

SLS Nagpur runs over 35 centres and cells that extend learning beyond the curriculum. Student-led bodies include the Moot Court Association, Alternate Dispute Resolution Cell, Legal Aid Cell, Environmental Law Cell, Cultural Cell, Sports Cell, and others under faculty mentorship.

Activities cover seminars, workshops, research, advocacy, and deliberations that build leadership, decision-making, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and problem-solving.

Research, Collaborations, and Legal Aid

Research culture is supported through regular seminars and conferences. Notable recent initiatives include the National Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Technology and Law (2024), an International Conference on Women’s Rights in Developing Countries and its second edition on Women’s Rights in Emerging Societies, the South Asian Postgraduate Law Conference with the University of Colombo (Sri Lanka), a National Seminar on Identification of Abusive Relationships and Prevention of Domestic Violence with the National Commission for Women, and an International Virtual Seminar with Villa College, Maldives on migrant workers during COVID-19.

The institute’s Legal Aid Cell and Pro Bono Club (supported by the Department of Justice) conduct legal awareness programmes in nearby districts and villages.
