Alumni Testimonials
I did my LLB course in Vels Law School. It was an enriching experience for three years for me and my batch mates. The teachers take all the necessary measure to infuse thoughtful insights beyond the syllabus. Assignments and seminar in each course give us a lot of exposure which has helped me in my profession, both while researching for cases as well as while arguing in the court. I thank VISTAS management and my teachers for shaping my destiny.
