Background
The St. Soldier Group of Institutions runs a range of educational establishments covering school education, management, engineering, computer applications, pharmacy, education, and law. The Law College was set up as part of this group's expansion into professional and higher education in Punjab. As a law college operating in India, it functions within the regulatory framework set by the Bar Council of India, which prescribes the curriculum and recognition norms for law degrees that qualify graduates for enrolment as advocates.
Academic profile
Law colleges of this category in Punjab typically offer the three-year LL.B. programme for graduates and, in some institutions, the integrated five-year programme entered after Class 12. Admission, affiliation and examination arrangements for such colleges in the state are generally linked to a recognised university and to the Bar Council of India's framework for legal education.
Significance
The college contributes to the supply of law graduates in the Doaba region of Punjab, an area which has seen a marked growth in private professional education since the 1990s. Institutions of this kind have widened access to legal training beyond traditional government law colleges and university law departments.
