The National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru, plans to launch a three-year LLB programme from the next academic year. The announcement was made by Vice Chancellor of the university Sudhir Krishnaswamy during the 29th annual convocation that was held virtually on Sunday.
In a press release, NLSIU said that it has secured the necessary regulatory approvals from the authorities as well as the governing bodies.
“The inaugural batch will begin their education in July 2022. It will help re-energise and transform postgraduate legal education across India in the years ahead. We have assembled the best faculty team to redevelop India’s oldest law degree and we invite the brightest and the best graduates from any discipline to join us as we set out to radically transform legal education yet again,” Prof. Krishnaswamy said during his inaugural address.

At a recent event held in the city, Cambridge University Press & Assessment launched an advisory panel comprising leaders from top global corporations, aiming to bridge the employability gap in India and better align academic output with industry needs. A whitepaper released at the event highlighted the growing importance of communication skills, the need for stronger collaboration between industry and universities, and strategies to bridge the persistent skill gap.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
