Chandigarh University (CU) has turned its law curriculum into a launchpad for high‑impact careers. In 2022‑23, alumni Aastha Sharma, Jashanpreet Kaur, Vishwas Khatak and Anusha Raj earned civil judge or judicial magistrate posts in Jammu‑Kashmir, Punjab and Haryana. Simultaneously, more than 244 graduates secured positions at firms such as TACT India, Equilaw Partners, IOTA Analytics and many others.

The university’s industry‑aligned syllabus emphasizes courtroom exposure, policy drafting, legal research, and public administration. In the last academic year, CU facilitated internships for 1,400+ students at the Supreme Court, 15 state High Courts, 19 district courts, and 82 corporate law firms across eight states and two foreign nations (South Africa and Zimbabwe). This hands‑on experience has become a decisive factor in clearing competitive judicial examinations.

Senior Managing Director Deepinder Singh Sandhu explained, "CU’s curriculum is designed to mirror judicial and competitive exams, reinforced by mentorship, drafting practice, research training, and sessions led by sitting judges and senior advocates." By moving beyond textbook theory, CU equips students with real‑world insights that shape informed career choices.

Why This Matters (इसके मायने क्या हैं)

BozokMedia analysis shows that integrating practical internships can boost law graduate employability by up to 30%. This not only safeguards individual career trajectories but also strengthens the pipeline of qualified professionals feeding India’s judiciary.

When fresh graduates enter both judicial benches and corporate law houses, the ripple effect enhances economic productivity and legal sector competitiveness. Companies gain access to high‑calibre counsel, while courts benefit from a new generation of tech‑savvy, research‑driven judges.

"Without hands‑on training, law graduates remain academically proficient but professionally under‑prepared; CU’s model bridges that gap," says Prof. Rajneesh Kumar, Dean of Legal Studies, National Law Institute.
Did You Know? (क्या आप जानते हैं?): Established in 1994 with just 200 students, CU now educates over 15,000 learners across multiple disciplines.
