order of priority for the selection of the candidate against
the available vacancies will be strictly based on the
percentage of marks obtained in Standard XII examination. In
the case of tie in the Standard XII, the marks of Standard X
shall be taken into account. In the case of ties even in

Integrated
Law Course Design
1. Total number of Trimesters:
15
2. Total number
of courses: 60 (Four in each Trimester) (excluding the
internship and court room exercises)
3. Normally
students are required to work 40- 45 hours in a week.
4. Unless otherwise instructed by the Faculty all courses
other than Honours courses in the first three years are taught
courses having a self-learning and small research
project/paper writing and presentation component in it. In a
taught course one credit shall mean one class hour and ˝ to 1
hour self learning per week in normal condition. As such a
6-credit course means 6 ˝ to 7 hours work per week. Optional
and compulsory law courses are first-grade mixed courses
requiring 1-hour class with 1-hour self-study. As such, each
such course with 6 credits would require 6 class hours and 6
class hours of self-study, i.e., 12 hours of work per week.
Honours course is a mixed course of research and teaching.
Teaching in honours course is not expected to be more than 25%
to 33% of the entire teaching learning system. In Honours
course one credit shall mean one class hour and 2 to 3
research hours per week in normal condition. Therefore
10-credit honours course may mean 3 class hours and 7 research
hours or as instructed by the faculty per week.

Revision of Courses
The LEC may
periodically revise the courses of study with the approval of
the Vice Chancellor.
Examination
System:
The examination
system is based on three principles, namely, (1) Measurement

participation.
The grades will
be shown in the certificate pertaining to each Trimester, and
also along with the final result; additional attempts for
improvement are permitted as per Rules. The Vice Chancellor
shall have the power to reformulate the promotion rule.
The first level of examination is taken as a continuous
process, with two or three tests during the trimester as an
ongoing evaluation, which may cover one-third of the
examination. The ability is to be assessed through problem
based tests during the trimester as an ongoing process. The
proactive learning ability is to be examined through written
project assignments and analytical skill which generally
comprise one-fourth of the tests. The faculty, of course, can
revise the basis and methodology of examination from time to
time. Examination is an ongoing process integrating the
teaching and learning system; the examination system is
designed to be transparent.
Repeat tests for
improvement are to be taken along with the students of the
previous Trimester, whenever that particular subject comes up
for final examination. If the candidate fails to improve in
the repeat test, he/she shall not be permitted to attend
repeat tests any further. (In case some improvement is shown,
he may be permitted to sit in the second repeat in any
subject).
The final result
of a student shall be based on cumulative grade points in a
ten-point scale as classified below:
