History

The Faculty of Law was established in 1924 and the then Vice-Chancellor of the University of Delhi,Dr.Hari Singh Gaur was its first Dean.The Faculty was initially housed in the Prince's Pavilion in the Old Viceregal Lodge Grounds.It was only in 1963 that the faculty moved to its present location at the Chhatra Marg,University of Delhi, Delhi. Initially, Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) Degree course was treated as part-time course and the teaching was conducted in the morning. The evening classes along with morning classes for LL.B. started in the year 1942. The teaching for one year Master of Laws (LL.M.) Degree started in the year 1944. LL.M. was made a whole-time two year course in the year 1947. As a result of partition of the country in 1947, the rush to the Faculty increased. Two new courses,viz., Degree of Bachelor of Civil Laws (B.C.L.) and Certificate of Proficiency (Law), were made a whole-time course though classes were held both in the morning as well as in the evening. With the enactment of Advocates Act, 1961, the Certificate (Law) course was abolished. The B.C.L. Degree course was discontinued in the year 1966.

The Academic year 1966-67 was marked by two major developments : One, the duration of LL.B. Degree course was increased to three years and two, teaching through case method was introduced. Both these developments were pioneering and unique in the teaching of law for any Indian Law School at the time. Till 1970,both morning and evening classes were being held in the Faculty Building at Chhatra Marg. But to meet the presenting and long standing demand for more seats, an evening Law Centre was established at Mandir Marg, New Delhi in the year 1970, which is currently located at the Main Campus, Chhatra Marg, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007. The evening classes in the Faculty building were discontinued in a phased manner in the next two successive years. However, the demand for more seats led to the establishment of one more evening Law Centre in South Delhi known as Law Centre-II in the building of Atma Ram Sanatan Dharam (ARSD) College, Dhaula Kuan, New Delhi-110021 in the year 1971 where it is currently located. The Faculty originally known as The Campus Law Centre has now been divided into three Law Centres: Campus Law Centre at Chhatra Marg (North Campus), University of Delhi, Delhi-110007, Law Centre-I at Chhatra Marg (North Campus), University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 and Law Centre-II at Dhaula Kuan, New Delhi-110021.

The Faculty of Law of the University of Delhi was established in the year 1924. The then Vice-Chancellor of the University Dr. Hari Singh Gaur was its first Dean. It was housed in the Prince's Pavilion in the Viceregal Lodge (turned Anthropology Department). In 1963 the Faculty of law moved to its present location on Chhatra Marg, University North Campus, Delhi-110007.

The Bachelor of laws (LL.B.) degree course was, initially, started as a two-year part-time course, teaching being conducted in the morning with ten teachers. In 1942, along with the morning, evening classes were also started. In 1944, the one-year Master of laws (LL.M.) degree course was introduced. In 1947, after Independence and partition of the country, the demand for the study of law increased. It was also time to look beyond the entrenched British model and restructure legal education to meet the demands of a now Independent India clamouring for equality in access to power, respect and knowledge. Lawyers played a major role in the struggle for freedom. They now had to be trained to create & use law as an instrument of social change and, as Nehru put it, to wipe a tear from every eye. In 1947, LL.B. was made a full time course (classes being held both in the morning and evening) and new courses were added. LL.M. was made a whole time two-year course. Two new courses, namely, Certificate of Proficiency (Law) and Bachelor of Civil Laws (B.C.L.) were introduced (later abolished in 1961 and 1966, respectively).

The year 1966 was a turning point in the history of the Faculty of Law and legal education in the country: Dean P.K. Tripathi and his team of dedicated teachers adopted and implemented almost all the recommendations, in the 1964 Report, of the Gajendragadkar Committee on Legal Education (appointed by Vice-Chancellor Dr. C.D. Deshmukh). The two-year LL.B. course was made a three-year (six semester) course with an internal examination at the end of each semester. There were major innovations in the method of teaching: the discussion method of teaching (the Socratic method of teaching) was to be followed and not simply the lecture method where students were merely passive recipients of information. Towards this end, the case method of teaching, with decided cases and other study materials being given to the students in advance, was introduced, which enabled the Delhi Law School to achieve the goal of making students active participants in the learning process, thereby also ensuring an in-depth study of law. Teacher participation in the management of the Law School was ensured through appointment of various committee with elected members.

In 1970, to meet the increasing demand for more evening admissions, evening classes in the Faculty of Law were discontinued and two new evening centres were established: Law Centre-I at Mandir Marg (Currently in the Faculty of Law building) in 1970 and Law Centre-II at Dhaula Kuan in 1971. The Campus Law Centre became an exclusive day Centre. And the admission in these centres is as per merit in entrance exams.

Expansion

[1] The best Law Faculty, established in 1924, is at the threshold of great expansion and innovation. The hallmark of this expansion and innovation is the decision of the University to integrate all the three Law Centres into one single unit. To be located in an area of nearly 13 acres at Dhaka, the existing faculty of 75 will add 212 new members. From the academic year 2010-11, the Faculty would increase admission intake by 54% as decided by the University to give full effect to 27% reservation in admissions in LL.B. and LL.M. courses for the socially and educationally backward classes (O.B.C.) (non-creamy layer). This will increase the students strength considerably with the annual intake of 2445 in LL.B. and 106 in LL.M. courses. The total students strength is likely to go to more than 5000.

The unrelenting efforts of the faculty members in the revision of reading materials both for LL.B. and LL.M. degree courses in each semester during last three years has been un-paralleled. The Case Materials, question papers for LL.B. and LL.M. Entrance Tests for the years 2008 and 2009 along with answers, examination date-sheet, list of students admitted to first year of LL.B. and LL.M. courses have been put up on Delhi University website www.du.ac.in for the benefit of all concerned. This single step has brought not only transparency and accountability in the working of the Faculty of Law but the same has also been acclaimed as most beneficial for the students and teachers of other institutions of legal learning. While there is a general decline in the standard of quality education, this Faculty has not only maintained the existing high standards of legal education but it has also tried to raise it to further heights. With the adoption of uniform teaching and examination calendar by the University, there has been considerable increase in teaching time. This has led to more academic interaction between the students and teachers. The teaching and examination schedule announced in advance helps the students to properly plan their studies and vacations. With the strict enforcement of attendance rules, nearly 500 students each year are denied permission to appear in the examinations on account of shortage of attendance. Thus non-serious students have no place in this Faculty. With the adoption of one common examination for all students since 2007-08 and centralized evaluation system in December, 2008, the results are being declared within a very short time after conclusion of the examinations. The system has improved both the evaluation standards and results.

The Faculty of Law attracts students from abroad on account of its world-wide reputation. These foreign students come from highly developed and developing countries including United States of America, United Kingdom, France, China, Korea, Mongolia, Iran, Nepal, etc. They join LL.B., M.C.L. and Ph.D. programmes. During this year, two foreign nationals, one each from Korea and Iran, were awarded Ph.D. Degree on subjects such as Law of Partnership and Criminal Law. The student visitors for a limited period study included Ms. Li Lairu, Lecturer, Law Institute, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and International Business School, Yunnan University of Finance & Economics and Ph.D. scholar visited the Faculty in March, 2010 to collect research and study materials on law of contract for her research work. Three students from France, viz. Ms. Clara Giraud, Jean-Baptiste Coquard and Penelope Bouchard, Exchange Students from Lyon III, France are presently studying at this Faculty from the beginning of the current academic year. They have been allowed to opt courses of LL.B. at their choice.

The Faculty of Law at Delhi University is among the top five law colleges in India.Despite the fact that three year LLB courses are fading away in terms of attraction, faculty of law at Delhi University still maintains its quality and standards. However, the recent reservations for OBC may hamper the growth and development of the faculty as there is acute shortage of resources and increased number of students will further aggravate the situation. Teacher-student ratio is poor and needs an improvement.[3]

Achievements

Hostel Accommodation

There are twelve hostels for male and female students who are pursuing full-time courses in the University. These are: Gwyer Hall, International Students House, Jubilee hall, Mansarovar Hostel, Post-Graduate Men's Hostel, University Hostel for Women, Meghdoot Hostel, D. S. Kothari, V. K. R. V. Rao Hostel, International Students House for Women, North East Students House and W.U.S. University Hostel. However, hostel facilities will be available only to Campus Law Centre and LL.M. 2 year course students as per rules and procedure prescribed from time to time by the University and the hostel authorities about which information can be obtained directly from the provost of the concerned hostels.

HOSTEL FACILITIES

Delhi University attracts maximum number of outstation students. It is estimated that over 10,000 undergraduate students from outside Delhi are admitted every year in the university-affiliated colleges. Delhi University does not offer any hostel accommodation at the undergraduate level, only individual colleges provide hostel facilities. Foreign students are accommodated at International Student’s Hostel. Foreign girl students are accommodated in PG Women’s Hostel. The capacity of college hostels is limited, accommodating less than 20% of all hostel applications. Out of the 13 hostels available for undergraduate students in Delhi University, 11 are in North Campus colleges and 2 are off campus. Candidates seeking admission to hostel may contact the college concerned directly.

Admission to college does not imply admission to the hostel. Colleges reserve hostel seats on the basis of quota for the subjects. This means seats are reserved for each course being offered by the college. Out of the vacant hostel seats, 15% are reserved for SC students and 7.5% for ST students. 3% seats are reserved for the blind and disabled candidates. 10% seats for foreign students. Some seats are also kept for children/ widows of Armed Forces personnel.

The hostel rooms are usually single seater and double seater and in some colleges up to four seater. Single seaters are usually available to third year students and in a few cases to college toppers on merit basis. The numbers of seats given are the total of all three years. The student intake in the first year would be generally one-third of the total seats. Most of the colleges provide hostel for boys. Getting a seat in the college hostel is very tough, even tougher than getting a seat in a course in the college itself. The health care facilities are available through World University Service (WUS) Health Centre, located in North Campus against a nominal fee of Rs. 5 per month. Colleges having Hostel Facilities

Admission: All prospective candidates are required to procure the Hostel Application form for current admission/ re-admission and for each subsequent year of stay thereafter.

(as the crow files) of the College are considered for admission. In case a resident student fails in his University examination and/or becomes an ex-student of the college, he will lose his Hostel allotment. Subsequently, upon passing he will not get back his Hostel seat automatically. Instead, he has to compete afresh for admission through the new merit list for his batch. Only those whose re-evaluation results certify promotion will be given automatic re-admission. After the successful completion of each academic year, resident students are re-admitted provided their conduct is found satisfactory. Suspension/Expulsion orders can be implemented with regard to any resident student at any point of time on certain grounds.

First year students’ Admissions: The merit list for Hostel Admission is prepared for each subject according to the criteria followed by the respective Departments in college. Every subject has a proportional quota of seats in the Hostel as per the formula: less than or equal to 20 sanctioned seats in College would imply 1 seat in the Hostel; more than 20 sanctioned seat in college would imply 2 seats in the Hostel. A total of 5 seats (all years put together) are reserved in the Hostel for sports admissions. Also seats are reserved in the following categories as per University of Delhi rules and regulations: SC, ST, Handicapped, Foreign Nationals, Sikkim and Army.

Allotment Rules: There are 7 Triple Seater rooms in the Hostel. The initial 21 first year admittees are allotted these seats. All others are allotted Double Seater rooms. In no case, a single seater room shall be allotted to a resident student, except the students of M.A. / M.Com. /M.Sc. (previous) who had single seated room in the last academic session.

Admission procedure for 1st Year: All the first year undergraduate students desiring Hostel accommodation should submit the application form attached to the prospectus duly filled in by the last date prescribed for submission of collage preliminary admission forms. This application should be submitted to the hostel office. Immediately after the admission to the collage is completed. Students seeking admission in the hostel should register themselves at the Hostel office. They should produce the counter-foil of their application form and the collage fee book at the time of registration.

Eligibility: Eligibility for admission into the Hostel is on academic merit marks to be computed on the same criteria laid down for college admission for the course but admission will be finalised after a personal interview with the candidate, the parents and the local guardian. This interview will be conducted after the first admission lists in the collage are put up. The decision of the hostel committee is final. Only out-station student are eligible for the hostel admission. At the time of submitting application for the hostel, the candidates are required to submit outstation resident certificate from the concerned local authorities. Those students who desire to avail of a hostel seat under the SC/ST quota are required to produce university SC/ST registration slip. The list of local guardians to be supplied in the admission forms will be subject to the approval of the college authorities. The authorities reserve the right to ask for a change of local guardian. Students must take re-admission in the second/ third year.

Quota/ Reservation

Scheduled Castes/Tribes Students: Out of the vacant hostel seats, 15% seats are reserved for Scheduled Caste and 7-1/2% for Scheduled Tribe Students. The allotment of seats in Hostels to Scheduled Caste/ Tribe students should be based on merits of Scheduled Caste/ Scheduled Tribe Students of each College and only such students should be considered for Hostel accommodation whose parents are not residing in Delhi.

However, if seats are available, the Head of Institution/ Hostel on the individual merits of the students concerned may examine any hard case of Scheduled Cast/ Tribe students, whose parents are residing in Delhi.

Indraprastha College has a committee of teachers who visit the private accommodation at nearby places from time to time. The college keeps a list of students who avail of PG. Kamla Nehru College compiles a list of known and credible accommodation. Sri Venkateshwara College puts up a list of approved PG accommodation at the college notice board.
