Project-Based Learning Philosophy

The department emphasizes project-based learning as a core component of its educational philosophy. Projects are designed to encourage critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and collaborative problem-solving skills among students.

The curriculum includes mandatory mini-projects in the second year and a final-year thesis or capstone project that allows students to demonstrate mastery of legal principles and their application in real-world scenarios.

Mini-Projects Structure

Mini-projects are undertaken in groups of 3-5 students and involve conducting research on a specific legal issue, preparing a report, and presenting findings to faculty members. These projects typically last two months and contribute 10% to the final grade.

Final-Year Thesis/Capstone Project

The capstone project is an individual endeavor that allows students to explore a specialized area of interest in depth. Students work closely with a faculty advisor to select a topic, conduct research, draft a comprehensive report, and present findings to a panel of experts.

Students must submit their proposals by the end of the third semester, and the final submission deadline is typically at the beginning of the sixth semester. The project contributes 30% to the overall evaluation.
