THE NATIONAL LAW INSTITUTE UNIVERSITY, BHOPAL

Admission to Ph.D. program is done through an All India entrance test conducted by the University. (i) Ph.D. Program (Law) - without fellowship and (ii) Ph.D. Program in Intellectual Property Right, (with and without fellowship).

Learning & Teaching Methods

We believe that learning how to learn law is more meaningful. “Give a man a fish and you food him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a life time.” In keeping with this adage, we strongly believe that in the class rooms the students and teachers share a common knowledge gateway rather than the teacher alone transmitting knowledge to the students. We learn law both as it is and as it ought to be. Ought to be approach is supplemented with the methods of social sciences and humanities Case method and Socratic method of learning and teaching are the characteristic features of the class room discussion. Moot court competitions, client counseling skills, language and computer proficiency are the regular and vibrant features

Full Tuition Fee Waiver & Scholarships

NLIU seeks to encourage meritorious students with a belief that money should not become a roadblock for meritorious students with limited means. To realize this objective the University has instituted the following Scholarships:

There are two Merit cum Means Scholarships one in the memory of Late Justice J. S. Verma and the other in the name of the University. The scholarships cover full tuition fee waiver for the entire duration of the B.A.LL.B.(Hons.) Course. In the first year of the course the scholarships are awarded to the NLIU students securing highest marks in CLAT. From second year to fifth year the scholarships are awarded to the students securing highest marks (without repeat) in the NLIU examinations of first year, second year, third year and fourth year. To be eligible for the award of the scholarships merit alone is not sufficient to make a student eligible for the award. The annual income of the parents of the students should not exceed the amount as may be prescribed by the university from time to time.

Junior and Senior Research Fellowships are awarded to the Ph.D. students of NLIU under the Schemes of Ministry of Human Resource Development.
