“The GW Law community has the privilege of working with one of the world’s top universities in helping establish a top-flight law school,” Associate Dean of RGSOIPL, Karamanian, said.

The Dean of RGSOIPL, Khushal Vibhute, has said that they are promoting India-bound student traffic. This goes against the old practice of Indian legal scholars going abroad to become practitioners and professionals.

“With the government’s mandate of bringing in foreign students and promoting internationalisation of IITs, we had organised a spring semester programme with GW Law School, which paved way for exposure of Indian students,” he said.

IIT Kharagpur’s law school has also expanded to areas such as Corporate, Taxation, Criminal, International, Constitutional and Competition Law.
