Outcome Based Education Approach


ILNU focuses on students learning following outcome base education approach (OBE). Institute of Law through
its curriculum design and clearly articulated learning outcome ensures that students learn by constructing
knowledge rather than by receiving knowledge from others. This constructivist approach requires new
techniques for assessing students’ learning that includes assessment as an integral part of teaching in order to
better understand what students have learnt during the process. Through the formative and summative
assessment, we are ensuring that required knowledge and skill for the profession are learnt by the students
following the Outcome Base Education principles. So with this OBE approach, clarity is given regarding the
subject-matter that students are required to learn, curriculum is organized and finally instructions and
assessment is designed to ensure that learning ultimately happens. Assessment Rubrics and Matrices of
assurance of learning help to map the outcomes of the learning process.

Programme Educational Objectives:

Where in the opinion of the appointing authority, a lapse is attributable to any member of the faculty or staff of

ragging.

Why should I & How can I use On Line affidavits? Why?


1. It is mandatory for every student and his/her parents to submit an anti-ragging affidavit at the time of first
admission and there after each year at the time of annual registration. These are UGC’s regulations.

2. It is the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court that contact details of students must be collected from these
affidavits and stored electronically at a central location.

3. Until now each college collected such information. But it was not stored in any central location. But this year
the Ragging Prevention Program developed an ON LINE procedure for downloading anti ragging affidavits. As
a result college authorities do not have to collect information separately and compile it. It will save a lot of
their time and energy. How?

4. It is a simple procedure comprising 3 steps

Step 1: Log on to www.ANTIRAGGING.in or www.AMANMOVEMENT.org. Click on the button called – On


line affidavits.

Step 2: Fill in the information as desired and submit the form.

Step 3: On successful completion you will receive affidavits, both for Students and Parents, through E
mail.

5. 5. If you do not have an E mail address please create one before you log in. If your parents do not have an E
Mail/Mobile/ Landline Phone number please do not panic. You can give those of your friends or relatives.
There is absolutely nothing to worry. If you make a mistake while submitting your form you can start a fresh
and submit the information again. There is no problem. It is a very easy process.

6.0 Equal Opportunity Cell (EOC)


Preamble:
Indian Society has rich diversity in terms of religion, caste and culture which is characterized by social division
and this may lead to inequalities and create barriers to access the important resources to disadvantaged section
of the society.

These sections include Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribes, other backward classes, women, minorities and
differently abled persons.

Education is an important instrument of social control which enriches human life materially as well as culturally.
Education at grassroots level means freedom from ignorance which leads to freedom from exploitation and
oppression. In this way, education is an important resource which must be distributed equally in terms of
opportunities as its acquisition opens up other material resources such as wealth, status and excellence. So it-is
tightly desirable to make education system inclusive and should be responsive' to the needs and constraint of the
disadvantaged social groups.

• To disseminate the information related to schemes and programmes for the welfare of the socially weaker
section as well as notifications/memoranda, office orders of the Government, or other related
