IIT-KGP law school to promote India-bound student traffic

The Rajiv Gandhi School of Intellectual Property Law (RGSOIPL), IIT-Kharagpur, has embarked on a drive to bring in foreign students for law education in India.
"Against old time practice of Indian legal scholars making trips abroad to become law practitioners and professionals, we are promoting India-bound student traffic," Prof Khushal Vibhute, Dean, RGSOIPL, said.
RGSOIPL is the only law school in the IIT system, which has established collaborative and exchange programmes with the internationally reputed George Washington University Law School.
"With the government's mandate of bringing in foreign students and promoting internationalisation of IITs, we had organised a spring semester programme with GW Law School, which paved way for exposure of Indian students," Vibhute said.

The RGSOIPL, which specialises in Intellectual Property Law, has also expanded to other areas of legal education such as Corporate Laws, Taxation, Criminal Laws, International Law, Constitutional Law and Competition Law.
"The GW Law community has the privilege of working with one of the world's top universities in helping establish a top-flight law school," Karamanian, the Associate Dean of RGSOIPL, said.
