WHY NATIONAL LAW UNIVERSITY ORISSA (NLUO)?
|
| 1. National Law University Orissa (NLUO) is the youngest member of the group of National Law Universities, which are institutions of excellence in the field of legal education, with Chief Justice of India as its Visitor and Chief Justice of the High Court as its Chancellor. |
| |
| 2. National Law University Orissa has the advantage of having the experience of the Attorney-General of India, Chairman of the University Grants Commission, Advocate General of Orissa, judges of the Supreme Court of India and judges of the High Courts’ on its Governing and Executive Council. |
| |
| 3. The prized distinction of NLUO is its location in the most promising State of India. The faster economic growth and growing charm of MNCs in the state has set Orissa as a major destination for Foreign Direct Investments to the tune of approximately Rs. 1,00,000 crore. |
| |
| 4. NLUO is located on the banks of the river Mahanadi, with the classrooms and library affording a breathtaking view of the river and undulating verdant hillsides in the distance. The close to nature location of the campus would be conducive for sustained scholastic activity for the academically inclined students who choose to be a part of this institution. |
| |
| 5. NLUO students would be taught by a group of teachers, dynamic and experienced; and most importantly committed. The faculty is drawn from premier institutions of India and abroad, with most of them being associated with the leading National law Schools, thereby giving them the advantage of being accustomed to the rigours of the Law School model. |
| |
| 6. National Law University Orissa has a unique curriculum. In all probability, we offer the most profound example of integration of knowledge. We have gone beyond the conventional interdisciplinary approach, permitting students of the B.A.LL.B course to take courses of B.B.A.LL.B and vice versa, outside of the major-minor division of papers. |
| |
| 7. NLUO is the first national law school in the country which offers Mass Communication and Journalism as an optional subject, to the B.A.LL.B and B.B.A.LL.B students. |
| |
| 8. NLUO offers twenty four hours internet facility to its students and its teachers would be available to the students even beyond working hours. |
| |
| 9. Since Orissa is mineral rich state and has a long coastline, NLUO aims to concentrate on hitherto areas unexplored by law schools such as Mining Law, Marine Science Law, Water Law etc. |
| |
| 10. NLUO’s state of the art Library, equipped with the latest online resources would afford students’ opportunities for sharpening their analytical skills through in-depth research for projects and moot courts. |
| |
| 11. NLUO would have an extensive range of exciting exchange programmes with leading law schools of India and abroad. |
| |
|
12. NLUO offers the possibility of Honours not only in B.A./B.B.A. but also in LL.B, in group likes Constitutional Law, Business Law, International Trade Law, International Law, Natural Resources Law, Crime and Criminology and Intellectual Property Law.

Following is an excerpt from a report in expressbuzz.com.
A preliminary estimate puts the number of successful candidates from the State at about 200 – including those who secured All India Ranks (AIR) and those who figured in the extended merit list announced on Monday.
While 150 students are believed to have cleared the test from Bhubaneswar alone, 11 students of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Mundali, in Cuttack notched up good ranks.
Initial reports said approximately 10 students from Berhampur and another 20 from Rourkela made it to the extended merit list.
This IIT success rate is probably the best ever in the State with one student, …
JNV, Mundali, where about 39 students were given special coaching for IIT, saw its student Abhisek Rai getting AIR 1,948 (placed 258th in OBC category list).
Another student, Pratapbandhu Solanki, has secured 12th rank in Scheduled Tribe (ST) category, whereas Sourav Ginnore got 232nd rank in Scheduled Caste category.
Similarly, Ravindra Chourase (324), Saroj Nayak (437), Ranu Choudhury (543), Rakesh Malick (692), Soumya Ranjan Sahoo (731), Nitesh Patra (831) and Kamlesh Ahirwar (953) are among the successful candidates in the SC list, school principal S B Rao said.
The private IIT tutorial institutions were ecstatic about the results. Akash Institute claimed at least 91 of its students cleared the all-India entrance.
Director A B Singh said 24 of its students were on the merit list, while the rest were on extended list.
Similarly, Vidwan claimed 56 students followed by Naidu with 11 and Kalinga Bharati with about 20 students.
… From Kharagpur zone, of 52,176 students, only 928 students qualified. The result percentage in Kharagpur zone is below 2 per cent.

Orissatv.com reports in http://orissatv.com/NewsDetail.asp?newsId=NS3601 that 300 Orissa students cracked the IIT entrance. If that means they qualify for the IIT then it is a great improvement over previous years. If the 300 includes the exttended merit list then one needs the data regarding how many are in the EML and how many qualified for the IITs. If even half of the 300 qualified for IIT then also it is an improvement over the previous years. The article goes on to say:
The state students performed well only after the establishment of an IIT in Bhubaneswar recently.
However, Orissa is still far behind other states. For example, 2000+ qualified from Andhra Pradesh. Comparable to Orissa is Gujarat from where 167 qualified to the IITs and 175 are in the extended merit list.
Update: Dharitri says 700 qualified from Orissa.

Update: Hindu also reports on it. In regards to the location of the permanent campus, Hindu says the following:
While speaking very high about the proposed location for establishing the university which is situated between the railway station at Koraput and Danagadeola village over an area of 565 acres of government land she said that over the next five years the university could become one of the major attractions even for the tourists for its unique green campus resembling that of many world class university campuses in the other parts of the globe.
Following is an excerpt from a report in the Pioneer.
Vice-Chancellor of the Central University, Orissa, Dr Surabhi Banerjee informed that the classes in the university at Koraput would start from August this year. The university would function temporarily at the COATS (Council of Analytical Tribal Studies) and the courses would start from under-graduation to higher studies, she said.
…, the VC visited Deola village where the proposed university will be set up over 575 acres of land. … She thanked the district administration to locate such a suitable land and … After visit of the representatives from the Ministry of Human Resource Development, the construction work would be carried out on their approval, she said.
There will be an entrance test for taking admission into the university and the entrance test would be conducted in around 15-16 centres all over India and for Orissa in Koraput, Bhubaneswar and Sambalpur. Subjects like English, Oriya, Social Sciences, Anthropology, Tribal Studies and Journalism and Mass Communication would be taught in the university, besides other higher and professional courses. Different kinds of schools will be opened on the campus like the Jawaharlal Nehru University and the head office of the university would function at Koraput and the transit office to recruit lecturers, readers, professors, management and other staff will function at Bhubaneswar, the VC informed.
The Central Government has approved the university for five years for the time being and the classes would start in the COATS which is being managed by Sabara Srikshetra Jagannath Mandir Management Committee and the existing Gyan Mandir, library and tribal museum are an added advantage for the students of the university, she said.
Among others, Registrar BK Mishra, Financial Advisor P Pati and Liaisoning Officer and Coordinator Ganesh Chandra Roul attended the Press conference.

Update: The comment below is correct. They have had the Ph.D program since January 2009. Perhaps the MHRD found out about it recently and put out a PIB release and as a result various news items came about.
Following is from http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1255708.
The newly-created Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, will offer Masters and PhD programme from the coming session.
It will offer Masters of Technology (M Tech) Degree in five subjects — Chemical Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, the HRD Ministry said in a statement today.
Similarly, students can pursue PhD in nine subjects. These are Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Humanities and Social Sciences, Materials Science and Engineering, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering and Physics.
Meritorious candidates can avail scholarships. The institute will entertain only on-line applications. The last date for applying for the courses is May 20.
I have not heard about similar offering of post-graduate courses in the other new IITs.
