AMITY LAW SCHOOL

Amity University, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh

Spread over two state-of the-art blocks, Amity Law School in Noida is where students are polished and skilled to excel in their field of specialisation. With a total intake of 1,200 students every year for its four different types of law courses, the school was started in 2005. With emphasis on sensitising students towards societal problems, they are evaluated on their communication skills and eagerness to learn before getting admission. And their knowledge base and attitude get sharpened during the course of study and time spent interacting with faculty and experts on the campus. As D K Bandyopadhyay, Chairman, Amity Law Schools says, “While many universities claim to follow the choice-based system, we actually implement it. We don’t just teach our students but we offer them value-added courses. We believe that students of law should possess skills such as ability to be articulate and observant and have an attitude to interact with people in order to make good lawyers.” Keeping in tune with the philosophy, it is compulsory for students to study one foreign language and undertake one behavioural science course and clinical learning as part of their study. There is a strong student-led moot court society and a debate society to expose students to competitions. “We want our students to be pervasive and should be able to work in courts, in law firms, UN agencies, international organisations and in the corporate world,” says Bandyopadhyay.
