NLU Jodhpur’s vice chancellor (VC) post search committee submitted a shortlist of five names to the university’s chancellor 12 days ago, as the university also appointed a new registrar.
Former Chief Justice of India RC Lahoti, Bar Council of India (BCI) chairman Manan Kumar Mishra, and outgoing NLU Jodhpur registrar Sohan Lal Sharma who sat on the three-member search committee submitted the shortlist on 14 June, confirmed outgoing VC Justice NN Mathur.
Mathur whose term at the university ended on 31 May 2013 is continuing until the new VC is announced.
2007-enrolled IAS officer Shuchi Tyagi joined Jodhpur as registrar on 17 June. Tyagi has an MSc in Botany and an MPhil in Life Sciences from Meerut University and has held various administrative posts, including magisterial ones at Ranchi and Jaisalmer, before her current role as registrar.
She told Legally India that NLU Jodhpur, IIT Jodhpur and AIIMS Delhi have entered into a memorandum of understanding to share faculty and infrastructure. She said that faculty from the other two universities will teach courses such as English and Information Technology at NLU and NLU faculty will also teach courses at IIT and AIIMS. The MoU will be finalised on 10 July.
Tyagi said that the university’s current expenditure was covered entirely by student fees, which are approximately Rs 1.17 lakh per year currently for LLB. “This year I don’t think there is going to be any increase in the fee,” she said. RMLNLU Lucknow decided last week to increase its current annual fee of Rs 80,000.
Jodhpur conducted faculty recruitment on 5 June, adding to its current faculty strength of 56. Faculty was bolstered by four hires in the 12 months preceding June 2013, as reported by Legally India.

NLUJ offers B.Sc., LL.B. (Hons.). The students opting for such course have to study science papers (this is unlike NUJS where B.Sc., LL.B. is awarded to students who select some optional law papers relating to science and technology). It would obviously be great if IIT and AIIMS professors teach Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Biology, IT, etc. to the B.Sc. students. Hope this clarifies and you are able to agree!
Please do not go strictly by the report because, of late, some of Legally India's reports have been confusing / inaccurate because of the choice of words, which sometimes portray a picture that is not factually accurate.
@ law aspirants who may be wondering why B.Sc. is taught at a lawschool, here is your answer. Only lawyers with science background can qualify as patent agents under the present scheme of things. That notwithstanding, lawyers with a science background are better suited to be patent lawyers / to practice "technology law" (you see, practice of law involves understanding of business and commercials). In the West, TMT, IPR and patent attorneys are often highly qualified in a science discipline and the trend has caught on in India during the last decade as Indian firms are faced with more demanding international clients. Further, offering B.A. / BBA / B.Sc. with law provides students the option to study what they want and makes education more meaningful. The BCI only prescribes 4 or 5 mandatory social sciences papers for law students, which all students must study for the award of a integrated 5 year LL.B. degree.
Good for them! NUJS should have never awarded B.Sc. degrees on the basis of the study of law papers like technology law and IT law! Study of UG level science courses is a sine qua non for the award of a B.Sc. degree.
Your poor sense of humour is worse than your ignorance. Or maybe you have the IQ of a toddler!
No you fool... They want NLUJ's infrastructure!
We enrol in a course, we enlist in the army (or get commissioned), we join the IAS, we sign up for a course/ seminar/ tour. Of course, nothing wrong in saying enrol in the army or enrol with the bar, although admitted to the bar or called to the bar sounds better to lawyers' ears :)
@ RIP in English and all readres: please keep it nice. your criticism can be on polite terms. no need to lash out, really! Why use words like dumb et al? The point can be made nicely and Kian mostly responds nicely. I think we owe him a little courtsey. I guess rude comments from readers has made Kian short-tempered on some occassions, of late. Criticize as much as you want, but keep it nice and polite.
you enroll with the bar council. It is not wrong. In India, admitted to a bar is colloquially correct. :D
Definition of enroll:
officially register as a 'member of an institution' or 'a student on a course'
Definition of Institution:
1.) an organization founded for a religious, educational, professional, or social purpose:
2.) an established law or practice:
If you still feel that enrolling is 'only colloquially' correct, I can't help it.
RIP in English, start reading properly. Flipping through a dictionary will never be enough.
My grammar is wrong, no? Guess what? I don't care. :p
Cheers
Kian
Jodhpur is going places with NLU, IIT and AIIMS. They will share infra for best interest of students.
Well how many more NLUs can boast of Retd HC judge as VC and IAS as registrar. NLU-J is best and its students extraordinarily brilliant and down to earth.
