Maharashtra National Law University, Nagpur adjudication and justicing course

This course is a tailor-made course for students who want to have a future in the judicial services of the nation. The exposure to the corporate world of law is thus not appreciated more than the requisite requirements for judicial services. The faculty of the institute is well-qualified and student-friendly. Research mindset in educational courses is thus appreciated and highly encouraged. The examinations conducted are entirely application based and difficult to pass which encourages students to challenge their learning process.

The placements are provided by the university based on merit to the students of the undergraduate honours batch and bba batch. The same facility is not available for the adjudication and justice batch for obvious reasons. However, the university facilitates them by supporting internships of judicial nature and other internships too.

The fee for the third year currently is INR 2,64,000. There are various state scholarship schemes based on one's category, domicile, etc. that can be availed by the students. Another general merit and need-based scholarship worth INR 50,000 is also available across the batches.

Admission into the adjudication and justice course can be taken by filling in for the course separately on the website of MNLU Nagpur. The selection is a four-step process. The first step is where candidates are selected based on their CLAT ranks. The candidates who qualify have to appear for a group discussion, followed by a psychometric test which is then followed by a personal interview with sitting High Court judges and other dignitaries of the legal fraternity such as senior advocates etc. Once a candidate clears all four levels then she/he can take admission based on the merit list released.

The topics for Group Discussions are usually related to contemporary current affairs and ongoing subjects of critical importance. However, the topics do not need any excessively detailed knowledge but only cater to the basic analytical skills and knowledge developed during CLAT preparation. The process aims to analyze the developed and internal skill set of the student through various examinations such as group discussion, psychometric tests and personal interviews. The personal interview puts forward very basic questions in front of the candidate to help analyze his/her personality and qualification for the course.
