Aliah University is an autonomous state university under the Department of Minority Affairs and Madrasah Education, Government of West Bengal. The Department of Law operates from the historic Park Circus Campus (17, Gorachand Road, Kolkata-700014) offering undergraduate and postgraduate legal education (5-year integrated B.A. LL.B. and 2-year LL.M. programs). Visiting faculty members deliver scheduled lectures, mentor moot court competitions, conduct continuous internal assessments, and evaluate semester examination papers.

Posting & Transfer Policy
