26 Ground Breaking Innovations & Counting... 


1. CBCS - StudyFLEX® Montissori System:

20130425_Hanser_Storytelling_Ausschnitt_0.jpg

Saveetha School of Law has one of the best implementations of CBCS systems in the country. We have enhanced the system with our StudyFLEX® Initiative. In our system, the student has a choice to choose their course, faculty, duration across the entire program. We have a complex algorithm that digitally maps the students progress and prerequisites to open up future courses. In a true mixed age group environment, the students are exposes to advanced peer collaborations that completely change the dynamics of learning. Just like a Montessori system of school education, the students take up different roles within these multi age group learning centres.  Seniors play the role of peer mentors and juniors will play the role of explorers in this system. This creates an inspiring learning atmosphere wherein students can join senior teams in inter college competitions early on in-their curriculum. 

2. Multiple Minor Specialisations

Our Unique CBCS system allows you to take up to 32 credits every semester. This opens up an amazing opportunity for students to complete upto 80 papers. Although any Law student has to complete 53 papers to graduate, they have the option to use the extra time in pursuing upto 24 additional papers of the over 100+ elective courses offered in the school. If a graduate successfully completes over 8 papers in a particular specialisation, they will be awarded an additional minors degree. This provides an incredible platform for our students to follow their passion and develop an extraordinary edge over the graduates of other law schools. 

3. Unique and Modern Subjects

waystobedifferentandunique1_1378987535_1100x513.jpg

We have further innovated our curriculum with numerous unique subjects that includes space law, maritime law, sports law, law in biotechnology, forensic science etc. This is made possible because of our extensive faculty team of over 54 members; many of whom are specialised in many advanced and special subjects. It should be noted that most law schools in the country have just 20 faculty members. Only with sufficitent faculty and a good faculty student ration can an institution even begin to think of implementing such innovations in education. This shows our commitment to providing quality education and stand out unique in the law faternity. 

4. Special Credit Transfer

Furthermore, we also accept limited credit transfer from major MOOC courses conducted by major national law schools in India. All these opportunities enrich the experience of our graduates to become better professionals.

Saveetha school of Law has the maximum publications among all law schools in the country. 

Each Student of Saveetha School of law will graduate with at-least 5-6 publications done in the course. This will be an amazing achievement both for the students and the future firms they would work in. We have a stringent research board called the SRB (Scientific Review Board). All papers are meticulously vetted for plagiarism, originality of content and conformity to our publication protocol and ethics.  We are the only law school to provide SPSS workshops as part of the curriculum without any additional cost. This ensures we balance both quality and quantity in our research work. 

9. Practical Evaluation

We are the only college in India to have a oral exam for all our subjects as an integral part of summative evaluation. This exercise improves student confidence, logical articulation, language and vocabulary. In fact the examiners who came to conduct the viva voce, were extremely impressed by the knowledge, culture, decorum and attitude of our students. We are sure these gems will outshine all competition when they graduate and practice law.

Inspiration and motivation are binary vortices that determine the student engagement and participation in various academic activities.

Some essential skills are required for students to pursue education immediately after joining a law schools. These core skills include legal maxims, research methodology etc. Instead of conducing these subjects over a long term, we conduct workshop style intensive modules.

Such programs also help the students graduate in a faster pace.

This essentially inculcates bonding and also acts as an ice breakers where there is no need for seniors and juniors to be intimidated by each other. by taking oath to protect each other, they student atmosphere and culture of the institution is maintained and the school to college transition process is ironed out without the need for unpleasant ragging etc.  We couple the program with lectures from psycologists about gender sensitivity, respecting women etc.

Our SMART canteen system givens options to hostel students to pick and choose their food for the day. This flexibility and ability to manage their funds has been a boon for our students. IN many places students end up paying in advance irrespective of their consumption. Those system will not create a necessity among the cooks to please the needs of the students. In fact in many traditional messes their profit increases if the students eat less. But this system demands quality from the chef. Ever since this system was implemented in 2012, the number of mess related problems have practically vanished.  

19. Bar Council Exam Training and Placement Training Program

Such an amazing opportunity is simply not offered anywhere in the country. Imagine the benefits you will get if you could add 1.5 years of clinical traiing to your fresh resume. Image the number of contacts they can actively develop. Overall our students will save so much time that they can afford to do upto 4 minor specialisations without any extension in the duration of the course. This additional time also helps students redo courses to clear their academic record of any unfortunate performance dips that could happen due to unforseen circunstances.

Traditionally when law schools prescribe internships it is limited to law firms, NGO's, assisting in Judge chambers etc. However we expand our internship programs to include training programs in other national and international law schools of significant repute. This way students can complete few credit courses and also complete their internship there. By virtue of the system, students have over 1.5 years of time to do internships. Hence they can do for multiple 5 weeks sessions interposed with didactic sessions to report and consolidate their knowledge and learning experience. This way they can show consistent participation in law firms that allow our students complete their learning experience with out abruptly intervening their schedule.
