Most UGD programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means constitutional, criminal, contract and corporate law, with moot courts and internships. Typical first jobs: advocate, legal associate or corporate legal roles.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask KCES's S.S.Maniyar Law College for the current semester-wise plan.
