The Bar Council of India (BCI) considered granting affiliation to 64 new law colleges in India, on 26 April and 27 May, “most” of which have now started their admission process for the academic year 2015-2016, reported Live Law.
Union law minister DV Sadananda Gowda furnished a written reply in the Lok Sabha stating that the BCI had informed him that out of 116 new law college affiliation requests submitted to it this academic year, it agreed to inspect the 79 applications which were properly made, finished the inspection of 72 and had submitted the inspection reports for 64 of the inspected law colleges to its legal education committee (LEC) by 27 May.
Under the LEC Rules, the LEC grants approval for BCI affiliation of law colleges as per the recommendations of the respective inspection committees.
The LEC examined the reports in its meetings held on 26 April and 27 May, to decide which of the 64 colleges could be affiliated.
“The Bar Council of India has informed [Gowda] that the communication has been sent to law colleges and concerned Universities and State Bar Councils including Higher Education Departments of concerned States. Most of the law colleges have started their admission process”, reported Live Law.
The BCI affiliated 92 new law colleges in nine months during the academic year 2014-2015, according to the law ministry’s year 2014 annual report, as reported by Legally India. By December 2014, there were around 1200 law colleges in India.

Care to leave your high paying job and applying for a job with LI? It involves travelling around the country, visiting law schools, talking to kids and faculty, maybe the administration (if access is given) to find out the reasons behind failing education system. Maybe staying back at an institution as an independent observer for six odd months to cover it in form of an ethnographic study. Most of this on a hand-to-mouth existence as no one pays the six-figure salary for such work.
Do you? I guess not.
So shut your trap you f@ckin, elite, smug, capitalist asshole.
@LI: Please edit whatever part of description of the Guest poster you disagree with.
1. As opposed to law firms/corporate houses where the idea of biased bosses is unheard of!
2. A lot in this world can be unfair, what remuneration you get to put with it is important.
Quoting Guest:
1. You sure? A large part of the Harvard JD class of last year joined in as faculty?
2. Only 2 of 559 from 2014 class went for further education! [http://hls.harvard.edu/dept/ocs/recent-employment-data/]
3. What does happen is that alumni do tend to gravitate back after having made a life for themselves elsewhere. Indian law schools are way too young for that to happen. The process is underway with NLS-Bangalore; not in the law school but around it (people are back in India; at Azim Premji, at NLU-D, waiting for the 'correct time'... and it will come).
Learn to stay quiet, learn as you grow older and analyse based on knowledge. The off-hand comparisons with institutions with centuries of history behind them aren't wise.
Did the NLS student VC at TNNLS bring the huge change that will come the moment 'one of us' comes to power? You idiots were swept by the Modi wave, and you idiots believe that 'we will be our own saviours'.
Padhai karo, pass-out ho aur kahi vaapis mat dekhna.
