Hi, If you want to pursue Law courses, no university is best than LPU. The way they are imparting education is commendable. Let me give you few highlights for the same. The School of Law is governed and regulated by the Bar Council of India (BCI), and BCI also provides its curriculum. Students have experienced internships at various High Courts, law firms, law chambers, commissions, corporate houses, and NGOs. LPU provides Experiential learning by Regular Open House Discussions to generate awareness about contemporary issues to identify corresponding legal challenges and implications. Effective learning, according to LPU, occurs outside of the classroom. As a result, students are motivated to augment their classroom learning by engaging in specially organized moot court and debate competitions. Moot Court contests held around the country have rewarded LPU Law students with awards. Moot court tournaments have also been held at the university on a national level. In addition, the department invites eminent guest lecturers from the legal profession, such as Advocate Rajiv Kumar, Advocate-On-Record (Supreme Court of India), to talk and encourage future lawyers. The aim of these guest lectures is to familiarise students with the intricacies of legal discourse. The School of Law is also known for hosting prestigious national and international conferences on a regular basis to provide academic support to students. In November 2017, LPU hosted the National Conference on Cyber Law and IT Security. Coming to the placements, LPU grooms the students for a successful professional career by offering soft skills classes that offer guidance on how to face interviews, dress code, preparing an impressive resume. Professional grooming combined with strong academics has helped our students to get internships and placements with companies like MAP Legal Corporation, Manupatra & Co, Integrity Associates, LEGASIS, Thomson Reuters, Chandigarh Bottle, and Distilleries, Sumati Legal Corporation, SNT Control Limited, JLL India Limited, etc. The Alumni are working as Judicial officers, Legal practitioners, and Corporate advisors, and Civil servants. I hope this helps! Thanks.

LPU provides ample opportunities to each and every of the eligible students to secure good placement. Special inputs in the form of placement classes are given to students.
