About Faculty of Law at Vivekananda Global University, Jaipur
At Faculty of Law, Vivekananda Global University, our focus is to develop and advance interdisciplinary legal education and scholarship. We challenge normative pedagogy and believe in establishing and implementing new approaches towards teaching and learning which lead the University to NAAC A+ accreditation in a short span of a decade since its inception.
As a leading research-oriented institute, we encourage unrestricted academic imagination in the belief that thinking outside the box leads to original, relevant and impactful research. Thus, we incubate research on a range of diverse and unconventional ideas, including but not limited to, intellectual property, constitutional law, and criminal law. We take pride that our effective and impact-driven research has on numerous occasions received recognition.
Since our inception in 2013, we have become one of India’s premier law universities. Our students have gone on to excel in diverse fields, such as academia, legal practice, administrative services and entrepreneurship. This is a testament not only to our students’ drive, talent and intellect but to our sincerity and diligence as well. We value and embrace diversity of thoughts, opinions, values and expressions. We believe that educational institutions should be fair and inclusive spaces that help everyone in achieving their true potential.
