Bar Council of India  allowed Delhi University to admit more law students and run evening classes this year

The Bar Council of India has given Delhi University a breather. The BCI has put an end to the issue of reducing the number of seats for law courses at the Faculty of Law, DU, by allowing the university a one-year relaxation and allowing it to admit students above the prescribed limit.

As many as 2,310 of the 25,000 applicants will now be allowed to enrol themselves for LLB courses in three centres under DU. Earlier, the BCI, the legal education regulator, had indicated it would allow only 1,440 students.

Undertaking sought

However, the Dean of the Law Faculty has been asked to give an undertaking stating that the conditions imposed by the BCI would be complied with from the next academic year.

The BCI had asked DU to shut down colleges offering law courses in evening shifts after a recommendation was made by a committee following an adverse report about infrastructure and quality of education at the centres of DU’s Law Faculty.

The BCI rules say every institution needs to conduct five-and-a-half hours of direct teaching before 7pm on the days the institution is open. But this time, the regulator has allowed classes up to 9.30pm for this batch and those admitted in the past two years.
