Popular Law Courses in India

Civil law is India's uncodified legislation that deals with the resolution of conflicts that are considered civil in character, i.e. the offence cannot be classified as a criminal offence. Most of the time, civil law governs problems between two people involving marital strife, property concerns, family split, personal enmity, and so on. Civil law is never used against the state, but rather against an organisation or an individual, and it typically entails compensation rather than punishment. 

The following are the top civil law colleges in India:

National Law School of India University, Bengaluru

NALSAR University, Hyderabad

National University, Bhopal

Symbiosis Law School, Hyderabad

Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law

Criminal Law - Criminal law is a broad area with several employment options for specialists. It entails punishment such as jail for moral crime.  Criminal law is usually used against the state or country rather than the person (e.g., KM Nanavati v/s State of Maharashtra). The following are the top law schools that specialise in criminal law:

NALSAR University, Hyderabad

National University of Juridical Sciences, West Bengal

Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar

Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law

Dr Ram Manohar Lohia University, Lucknow

Constitutional law - In a nutshell, constitution law deals with the constitution and the essential rights, obligations, and so on, as well as their violations. With 448 articles divided into 25 sections and 12 schedules, the Indian constitution is the longest. Constitutional law is fixed and difficult to modify. It familiarises students with essential legal structures and concepts contained in constitutions such as basic rights, the rule of law, judicial review, governance systems, and so on. The following are the Law colleges in India that provide constitutional law specialisation:

National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bangalore

Promising tech startups get grants worth Rupees 6 crore

By Jyoti Singh

New Delhi, July 18: Sixteen promising startups and 20 teams of university students have been given grants totaling Rupees six crore by the India Innovation Growth Programme (IIGP) – a joint initiative of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Lockheed Martin and Tata Trusts.

The winners were chosen from over 2400 applicants who presented innovations that aim to bring large scale social impact and industrial transformation in the country. Each startup awardee gets a grant of Rs 25 lakh, while university teams get Rs 10 lakh each to further develop and mature technology solutions proposed by them.

“We have thoroughly planned how to go ahead from start-up to scale up. If company partners with a startup, then DST will also partner with it and extend a matching grant to help it scale up,” announced DST secretary Prof. Ashutosh Sharma while speaking at India Innovation Growth Program 2.0 award function.

Prof Sharma urged that the number of participants participating this year should be doubled next year. The government is coming up with startup centres worth Rs 150 crore each to help startups access resources, especially hardware. Three centres will be launched this year and the number of such centres will be scaled up gradually to 20.

The innovation award scheme is being implemented by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), Indo-US Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF), Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE) at IIM Ahmedabad and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.

Smart stethoscope for early diagnosis of lung and heart diseases is of the innovations awarded under the Open Innovation Challenge category.

“We have attached a smart device to normal stethoscope. This will help diagnose heart and lung diseases in early stages. The device is attached with an app to record the heart and lung sounds and it can pick up abnormalities that can help in early diagnosis. It is so simple that health workers can use it,” explained Adarasha K of IIT Bombay co-founder of Ayu Devices while speaking with India Science Wire.

It is being used by health workers in Gujarat and Maharashtra.

Siddhant Dangi and Ujjawal Kumar Jha from BITS Pilani have used Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) to develop prosthetic arms that can operate with ‘mind signals’.

Other winning teams come from Siddaganga Institute of Technology, IIT-Madras, IIT-Bhilai, IIT-Kharagpur, IIT-Kanpur, Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (ACSIR), Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Shoolini University of Biotechnology and Management Science, SRS, ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute, Chitkara University, BITS Pilani, SKUAST Kashmir and Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology.

The winners in the ‘Open Innovation Challenge’ category  are Astrogate Labs, Ayu Devices, BeAble Health, BiolMed Innovations, BNG Spray Solutions, C Electric Automotive Drives, CogniABle, CyCa Oncosolutions, Kanpur Flowercycling, Nubewell Networks, Ossus Biorenewables, Tan90 Thermal Solution, Terero Mobility, Unbox Robotics, Varta Labs and Vidcare Innovations. NoPo Nano Technologies, Sastra Technologies and Terero Mobility have signed MoUs with Lockheed Martin for helping them scale-up. (India Science Wire)
