The future of more than 1,000 students who’ve graduated from the three centres of Delhi University’s Faculty of Law is in serious trouble. Despite passing out with law degrees in their hands, these candidates cannot become advocates.
The Bar Council of India (BCI), which regulates legal education in India, says these graduates are not eligible to become lawyers as the Law Faculty failed to obtain extension of approval of affiliation from the body to run LL.B. course despite repeated reminders.
“Students who were admitted in 2011-12 and have passed out from the three law centres this year are not eligible to be enrolled as advocates because these centres do not have approval of affiliation as required under BCI’s Legal Education Rules, 2008 beyond the academic year 2010-11,” BCI Chairman BS Sinsinwar said.
Many of these law graduates who went to the Bar Council of Delhi (BCD) for enrolment returned disappointed on Thursday.
“Yes, we are not giving enrolment to those passed out from Delhi University Law Faculty this year. In view of the BCI resolution, they have become ineligible for enrolment as the Law Faculty failed to obtain extension of approval of affiliation from the BCI to run LL.B. course in its three centres since academic year 2011-12,” BCD Hony. Secretary Puneet Mittal said.
The BCI had earlier sent a written complaint to Delhi University vice-chancellor Dinesh Singh regarding the three law centres’ had not applied to it for extension of approval of affiliation beyond the academic year 2010-11.
In July 2010, the BCI had reminded these centres to act in time.

Sinsinwar also said there were complaints that the law centres were admitting students beyond the limit fixed by the BCI under the Legal Education Rules, 2008.
“We have also received complaints about lack of infrastructure, teachers and timings of these three law centres of Delhi University,” the BCI chairman said.
Founded in 1924, Law Faculty of Delhi University is among the largest law schools in the world with around 1000 students passing out every year. It offers under-graduate, post-graduate and research programmes.
