Apart from our contemporary curriculum which is prescribed by the Chaudhary Charan Singh University, Meerut, we also provide certain diploma and certificate program to our students such as Diploma in cyber law from Asian School of cyber law, Pune, Diploma in IPR, Diploma in Media and Government Law from Asian Academy of Film and Television, certificate program in corporate and legal communication and so on. We also started providing Judicial Academy classes from Feb 2020, which was inaugurated by Honourable Former Chief Justice of India, Justice Dipak Mishra,” shares Dr. Tarak Nath Prasad, Principal, Asian Law College.

“A major chunk of our law students either opt for litigation advocacy, judiciary, or prefer to join government agencies and civil services as law officers”

Forming A Robust Nexus with Reputed Organizations Apart from the exclusive curriculum which is constantly adapted according to the evolving legal arena at a global level, ALC is adorned with skilled faculties who not only hold expertise across various areas of law but also have a wide range of teaching and research experience.

So, we prepare students to face the service selection board pattern in their final year. A major chunk of our law students either opt for litigation advocacy, judiciary or prefer to join government agencies and civil services as law officers,” avers Dr Tarak Nath Prasad.
