National Law University Delhi is a public law university established in the National Capital Territory of Delhi under Act No. 1 of 2008. From its inception, the university was designed to provide comprehensive and interdisciplinary legal education that is socially relevant, research driven and closely connected to constitutional values, the rule of law and public policy. Its academic model combines rigorous legal study with exposure to social sciences, research methodology, clinical work, advocacy, writing and policy analysis. The university offers integrated undergraduate legal education, postgraduate study and doctoral research, and it conducts its own national admission process through the All India Law Entrance Test for major degree programmes. A defining feature of NLU Delhi is the scale of its research ecosystem. The university identifies research as a core institutional strength and has established more than twenty research centres along with endowed chairs that work across criminal justice, constitutional law, technology, access to justice, intellectual property, corporate law, environmental issues, human rights and other contemporary legal fields. This structure allows faculty members, researchers and students to contribute to legal scholarship and to policy conversations beyond the classroom. Located in Delhi, the university benefits from proximity to the Supreme Court of India, Parliament, central ministries, tribunals, commissions, law firms, civil-society organisations and national research bodies. That setting supports internships, field engagement, expert interaction and policy-oriented research. The university’s stated objectives also emphasise legal and ethical values, public understanding of law and the ability to analyse issues of public concern. Over time, NLU Delhi has built a distinctive identity around interdisciplinary teaching, active scholarship and institutionally organised research. Its combination of specialised centres, academic programmes, clinical initiatives and independent admissions has made it an important part of India’s national-law-university system while retaining a strong emphasis on research that can inform law, governance and justice institutions.
