Undergraduate Admissions

VIT School of Law  (Approved by BCI: D: 723/2019 (LE/Afflin), the progeny of VIT has entered the legal arena this year, aiming at high goals to be achieved. The Law School aims to impart quality legal education to nourish the young minds with knowledge of law, teach them the nuances of the legal profession and equip them to the nitty gritty of the profession.

VIT School of Law, believes in continuous and active learning simultaneously with practical training. Legal Education is not just mastering of the subject or the varied provisions of the law. It is the overall development of an individual into a legal professional. Our motto is SUI GENERIS SINE DUBIO which connotes “unique, without a doubt”. Studying law in VIT is a unique experience as there is a blend of all features of quality education. The course has been structured in such a way that the students can opt to have a specialised knowledge and insight in the particular branch they are interested in along with general knowledge in all other subjects. This gives them edge over other undergraduates which is imperative in this competitive world.

In VIT School of Law, Knowledge oriented approach takes the lead over memory based learning and evaluation. The course is designed to encourage the mooting abilities, oratorical skills, interpreting and analysing skills of the budding lawyers by conducting weekly seminars, frequent Moot court trainings, court visits, etc. The syllabus has been framed so as to give importance to theory and practical aspects to meet the rigorous demands set by the legal profession. The evaluation system in VIT also signifies a shift from the contemporary pattern wherein testing of the memory skills is predominant in various Law schools. Problem Based Learning has been embedded in the course and the evaluation of the student will also be on the above said lines. This induces them to analyse the various provision of the law, interpret the case laws and apply them to solve the question of law thereby preparing them for the different facets of the profession.
