Dhirubhai Ambani University School of Law (DAU-SoL) in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India, has responded to concerns raised by the Indian National Association of Legal Professionals (INALP) regarding its LL.M. program. INALP claims that the program may be conducted in a hybrid format, which would violate regulations set by the Bar Council of India (BCI). In response, a university spokesperson emphasized that classes are primarily held in person, with only a few online sessions due to unforeseen circumstances such as a medical emergency and the Eid holiday, describing these as temporary measures. INALP has announced its intention to formally disassociate from the university and file a complaint with the BCI, citing concerns over regulatory compliance and student welfare. The BCI prohibits LL.M. programs from being offered through online or hybrid modes, and any breach of these regulations could jeopardize the recognition of degrees awarded. This issue is particularly pressing, as seen in 2023 when students from Mumbai’s Pravin Gandhi College of Law faced challenges in legal practice registration due to BCI compliance issues. DAU, established in 2024 and affiliated with the Reliance Group, offers specialized LL.M. programs focusing on areas such as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) laws and technology.
