This would be decided by the university based on the interview. However, a student who had Commerce or Arts stream for the qualifying examination may be allowed to opt for either B.A. or B.Com stream and a student who had science stream for the qualifying examination may be allowed to opt for any of the three streams as the case may be. The students are free to indicate their choice, but final decision will rest with the university.

This would not happen. GNLU will go ahead with all stream of studies irrespective of any number of students.

Yes.

GNLU being a residential university it has got hostel accommodation for its students at a walking distance from the academic building.

Will the students be required to undergo a practical training after completion of studies to qualify to practice law?

At present there is no requirement to undergo a practical training on completion of five years of legal studies. However, the Bar Council of India could change this in future. The five year integrated course encompasses some internship and clinical work requirements as required by the Bar Council of India.
