Tripura to get national law university soon, bill to be tabled during budget session – Education News
Tripura will soon have a national law university and a bill for its establishment would be placed before the state Legislative Assembly in the forthcoming budget session, an official said on Sunday, adding that the academic activities for the national law university would commence from the Tripura Judicial Academy in Agartala in June if everything goes according to plan and it would be shifted to its own campus later.
“Details of the university capacity and courses would be decided after the Act is formed in the state assembly. But we have provisionally chosen the land for setting up the infrastructure of the law university in Agartala”, the official said.
The national law university will come up in addition to a government law college in Agartala, which currently has a capacity of 60 students per batch. Established in 1986, the state-run law college offers a five-year integrated bachelor of law degree. The official also said that Tripura Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath had recently asked concerned executives to speed up the process and set up the necessary infrastructure for a full-fledged national law university.
According to the official, a committee comprising Tripura High Court judges, law experts and government representatives would be formed after the legal procedure is over. This committee will look into the process of appointing the vice-chancellor for the proposed university and details of courses offered there. Students will be admitted through Common Law Admission Test (CLAT), as per the standard procedure.
