Course have been revised without affecting the course structure and nomenclature. I am enclosing herewith the revised syllabus for your kind consideration and approval. Thank you so much.

Date …………..
Sir, Taking into consideration the limited time-frame and the paucity of number of classes/ lectures in a semester-wise course structure, it is felt that the existing syllabus of the 5-year Integrated B.A., LL.B. Honours course needs to be revised in order to make it more rational and perfect for the semester system. Keeping this in view, the entire syllabus of five year Integrated B.A. LL.B (Hons.) Course have been revised without affecting the course structure and nomenclature. I am enclosing herewith the revised syllabus for your kind consideration and approval. Thank you so much. Sincerely yours Prof. Amit Sen Chairman Expert Committee in Law as constituted by the former Vice-Chancellor
