NALSAR University of Law, or officially the National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (NALSAR), is a premier legal studies institution located in Shamirpet, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. It was established in 1998 as a state university by an Act of the State Legislative Assembly (Act 34 of 1998) and has since then maintained its coveted position over and above all law schools in India. The university which is fully residential and conducts teaching in law, is ranked as the best law school in India by India Today magazine in 2013.
Admission to NALSAR is extremely competitive. The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) serves as the qualifying examination for the university. In 2015, for the B.A, LL.B (Hons.) program, a total of 40,000 students contested for a mere 65 seats, making the examination one of the most competitive in India. However, since 2015, the intake has been increased to 120 students per year, in compliance with the BCI norms.
The university is famous for its prestigious undergraduate program which forms the core of its academic and co-curricular excellence. NALSAR offers a five-year integrated B.A LL.B.(Hons.) program. Admission to the undergraduate program is on the basis of the highly competitive national-level Common Law Admission Test (CLAT). In 2013, of the roughly 27,727 candidates who wrote CLAT, the top 104 ranks were offered admission to the college under the general category- an acceptance rate of 0.38%.
NALSAR offers a one-year postgraduate LL.M. program. 50 students are admitted through CLAT with ten more spots allocated to foreign nationals. About ten areas of specialization are offered, and the program requirements include a dissertation. Additionally, two-year (four semesters) self-financed master's degree in Business Laws and Administration (MBLA)is also offered by the University apart from a one-year Master of Philosophy (M.Phil) which is open to candidate with an LL.M. degree, and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D). As a first among the Indian National Law Universities, starting academic year 2013-14, NALSAR now also offers a two-year M.B.A. program.
Similarly, CASL has introduced innovative courses in Aviation, Space, Telecommunications, GIS and Remote Sensing. Its objective is to cater to the unprecedented growth and commercialization of the Aviation, Space and Telecom sectors. CASL’s initiative aims to institutionalize an academy-industry partnership in these sectors- a first of its kind, not just in India but perhaps in the entire Asia-Pacific Region. It offers the following two degree courses: Master’s Degree in Aviation Law and Air Transport Management (MALATM) and Master’s Degree in Space and Telecommunication Laws (MSTL).
