The West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences, Kolkata
NUJS is one of the leading National Law Universities in India, known for its academic excellence and commitment to producing legal professionals of the highest caliber. Established in 1999, it remains one of the few institutions in the country to have the Chief Justice of India as its Chancellor. Recently, NUJS was awarded an A+ rating by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), further solidifying its reputation as a premier legal institution. The university promotes a culture of holistic development, emphasizing not only legal education but also extracurricular activities such as sports, which play a crucial role in fostering discipline, resilience, and leadership among students.

INVICTA brings together students from law schools across India to compete in a diverse range of sporting events. The competition is designed to test athletic skills, strategic thinking, and teamwork. Events will be conducted across multiple venues, including the Sports Authority of India (SAI), Salt Lake Stadium, the Bengal Tennis Association Club, and other major stadiums in Salt Lake City, along with the NUJS campus.

Encouraging Inclusivity Through Para-INVICTA
NUJS is committed to making sports accessible to all, and Para-INVICTA is a reflection of this commitment. Unlike INVICTA, which is restricted to law schools, Para-INVICTA invites participation from students with disabilities across disciplines, including colleges, schools, and NGOs. This initiative ensures that every athlete, regardless of ability, has an equal opportunity to participate and excel.
In keeping with its mission of inclusivity, NUJS covers all expenses for para-athletes, including:
-
Transportation

Accommodation

Food and Gifts
Through Para-INVICTA, the university aims to promote ‘sports without barriers’, fostering an environment where talent and determination are the only defining factors of success.
A Celebration of Sportsmanship and Excellence
INVICTA and Para-INVICTA represent more than just competitive sports—they serve as a platform for students to cultivate teamwork, perseverance, and mutual respect. By bringing together aspiring legal professionals in an arena of fair play, NUJS seeks to emphasize the profound synergy between sports and jurisprudence, both of which demand integrity, discipline, and a commitment to excellence.
With its legacy of fostering both intellectual and athletic achievement, NUJS Kolkata welcomes students from across the country to participate in INVICTA 2025 and make this edition a truly memorable one.
