PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
The objective of the programme is to produce well-trained and professionally competent professionals imbibed with the knowledge and capability to face the dynamic and increasing challenges of the professionals today.
LLB programme is designed to meet the changing demands on law graduates. It is devised by benchmarking against the law programmes offered by the best law schools in the world and has a number of features to ensure the competitiveness of our graduates.
Teaching of the new curriculum will be largely problem-based and be conducted in a small group, student centered environment. Apart from legal knowledge, the curriculum will also focus on transferable skills such as communicative skills, analytical skills, research skills and problem solving skills.
PDM is a place for people who love ideas that make a difference in the world. PDM is alive with thinking, research, and advocacy. We address law’s interaction with public policy, ethics, business, information and human needs and perceptions. We invite close analysis of institutions, rules, and practices—and also of their potentially unintended consequences in people’s lives. Fundamentally, our community of Faculty, Staff and Students advance law and justice in service of society.
