Alumni Testimonials

The Law programme in VISTAS is one of the few courses that stems beyond the conventional idea of rot learning of law. It is a tradition here in Law school in VISTAS that teaching is combined with research competency from the first year itself. This helps students to have a wider view about approaching problems in law from varied angles objectively. It is this perspective that led me to pursue LL.M degree very successfully in London.
