"Adherence To Strict Regulations In 5-Yr Law Course Has Helped Students Do Well Abroad": MP High Court

The Madhya Pradesh High Court, while hearing a plea by an NLIU Bhopal student challenging BCI attendance rules, orally observed that strict academic regulations in five-year law courses have enabled Indian students to excel in foreign universities.

The student sought relaxation from mandatory attendance requirements due to personal reasons, but the court highlighted that discipline and rigour are essential in legal education.

The court emphasized that institutions must maintain academic integrity.

The matter was posted for further hearing, with the court refraining from granting interim relief but asking the university to consider the student's representation sympathetically.
