and special features of the Constitution and beaware of the social, political and economic influence on it. A
student must learn how various interpretations of the constitution are possible and how do they influence the
growth of constitutional law.
Judicial review is an important aspect of constitutional law. The application of basic structure objective in the
evaluation of executive actions is an interesting development of Indian constitutional law.
Methods of teaching-learning: Lecture and Case-study method shall be the main method of learning to be
followed. Dialectic system of learning would provide better appreciation of the constitutional governance in

Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. It is a scientific and systematic search for
pertinent information on a specific topic. In fact, research is an art of scientific investigation. It is the
pursuit of truth with the help of study, observation, comparison and experiment. Significance of
Research is increasing in all discipline as it reflects social values, attitudes and behavior. As we know
law is a dynamic and not static, therefore law student should inevitably understand the basics of research.

Globalisation and liberalisation have significantly impacted the structure of higher legal education by necessitating a curriculum that emphasizes quality assurance and relevancy in a global context. This is reflected in the LL.B program's inclusion of courses designed to enhance both theoretical knowledge and practical skills—like the mandatory subjects and clinical papers. The curriculum's evolution mirrors global educational standards, ensuring students are equipped to compete in an international legal landscape .
The LL.B program structures its credit system by assigning specific weightage to different courses based on instructional hours. For a three-year LL.B program comprising six semesters, the total is 36 courses with a minimum of 192 credits. This includes 30 Compulsory Core Courses (Discipline Specific Core Courses) contributing 180 credits, constituting 93.75% of the total course credit. The remaining 6 Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses account for 12 credits, making up 6.25% of the total .
If a student passes the internal assessments but fails the End-Semester Examination, their internal marks and earned credits for the respective course will be carried forward. These students have the opportunity to reappear for the theory examination while retaining their internal assessment scores until the validity of the semester expires .
The inclusion of motor vehicle accident claims in the Tort Law curriculum highlights its practical significance in providing redress for personal and property injuries. It emphasizes the understanding of liability, the role of insurance, and the functioning of claim tribunals, which is crucial in contemporary legal practice. This focus ensures students are well-versed in prevailing tort liability issues and consumer protection laws, reflecting changes due to technological advancements .
The Moot Court exercises serve as a practical training component within the LL.B program. This includes three core components: Moot Court performance, Observance of Trial processes in two cases, and Pre-Trial preparation with an Internship Diary. Each component is evaluated with 30 marks, supplemented by a 10-mark viva voce. These exercises offer students practical exposure to court procedures, enhancing their legal skills and competencies .
The LL.B program integrates practical training with theoretical studies through specific practical training papers, which include Professional Ethics, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Drafting, Pleading and Conveyance, and Moot Court Exercise and Internship. These papers involve both classroom instruction and hands-on exercises such as simulations, drafting, and moot courts. They are evaluated through both internal assessments and End-Semester University Examinations. For instance, drafting practicals include exercises in pleadings and conveyancing, with marks allocated across practical exercises, and viva voce .
Each Discipline Specific Core Course (DSC) in the LL.B program is evaluated based on a combination of internal assessment and an End-Semester University Examination, totaling 100 marks. The internal assessment comprises 30 marks divided into assignment/project work/presentation (20 marks) and viva voce (10 marks). The university examination contributes 70 marks. To pass, a student must secure at least 35 marks in total, with a minimum of 10 marks from internal assessment and 25 marks from the university examination. Additionally, the average pass percentage for each semester must be at least 40% .
Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECC) in the LL.B curriculum are designed to develop essential skills that complement the core disciplinary knowledge. These courses, including Advocacy Skills and Criminal Law Investigation and Forensic Science, are compulsory and carry 50 marks each. They are assessed through internal evaluations, primarily consisting of objective type questions. The minimum passing mark is set at 20 out of 50, allowing students to earn two credits for successful completion .
During the LL.B program, students must complete a minimum of 12 weeks of internship in the three-year course stream, possibly under NGOs, trial and appellate advocates, judiciary, and other legal functionaries. Internships are to be spread across the duration of the program, with no continuous period exceeding four weeks. An Internship diary is maintained by each student, which is evaluated by an internship guide and a core faculty member, and marks are assigned in the final semester of the course within the 4th Clinical course .
The educational objective for teaching Constitutional Law in the LL.B program is to impart an understanding of the political, social, and economic value structures enshrined in the Indian Constitution, while ensuring students are aware of their rights and the state's responsibilities. Instructional methods recommended include lectures, interactive sessions, case studies, and research for self-directed learning. Paper writing and presentations are also suggested to enhance comprehension and critical analysis of constitutional doctrines .
