CNLU Patna signs MoU with University of Leicester UK for LLM admissions

Chanakya National Law University (CNLU), Patna, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Law School of Leicester University, UK, to facilitate the admission of CNLU graduates into Leicester’s LLM program.

According to a CNLU statement, “The MoU was signed by Prof Faizan Mustafa, Vice-Chancellor of CNLU, and Daniel Greco, Global Partnerships Manager, Global Operations, Future Students Office, University of Leicester.”

Prof Mustafa expressed optimism that CNLU would soon establish similar agreements with other foreign universities, creating pathways for its graduates to gain admission to leading institutions abroad.

“Such collaborations will foster joint research efforts and help build lasting academic relationships,” the statement added.

As part of the agreement, CNLU students enrolling in Leicester’s LLM programme will receive a 30% fee concession.

The university will also provide scholarships to support students from economically weaker backgrounds.

Prof Mustafa highlighted that with the Supreme Court’s recent revival of the “three-year rule” for eligibility in judicial services exams, CNLU is focused on expanding academic and professional opportunities for its students.

“Higher education abroad is one such avenue. Another significant initiative is the establishment of a Civil Services Academy at CNLU, which will provide personalised coaching for civil services aspirants,” the statement noted.
