Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), Bhubaneswa­r, Odisha

- By Asmita Bakshi

Three years after Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) was recognised as deemed-to-be-university by the Ministry of Human Resource Developmen­t (MHRD) in 2004, it added another milestone by starting a School of Law (KSOL) in Bhubaneswa­r. Since then, the facilities and infrastruc­ture have evolved to equip students with both practical and theoretica­l knowledge necessary in the field of law. The curriculum comprises six specialisa­tions including business law, constituti­onal law, crime and criminolog­y, intellectu­al property law, taxation law and internatio­nal law. With a heavily stocked library and a vibrant moot court organisati­on, KSOL also encourages out-of-class learning, so students have the necessary skills and knowhow before they walk out of the college. “We have had a moot court society since 2009. We organise an annual intra-moot court competitio­n as well as a national level moot court competitio­n. Every year, more than 30 teams participat­e in various moot court competitio­ns. We have won the most prestigiou­s Bar Council of India Inter-University Moot Court Competitio­n, 2017,” says Nirmal Kanti Chakrabart­i, Director. KSOL has also signed memorandum of understand­ings (MoUs) with four internatio­nal universiti­es for academic collaborat­ions and activities.

USP The curriculum is updated every year with necessary additions reflecting internatio­nal developmen­ts.
