National Law School of India University (NLSIU) Bengaluru is all set to offer elective courses from March March 06, 2023, to May 28, 2023. The university has invited interested persons to offer these courses to the students. The course includes 40 hours of classroom engagement. The last date to apply is January 15, 2023.

"Faculty who are desirous of teaching elective courses at NLSIU must invariably possess a graduate and post-graduate degree in law or the Social Sciences. Post-qualification experience of 3 years or more will be preferred. Alternatively, they may have at least 7-10 years of post-qualification experience in legal practice. Individuals who have published widely in their fields of expertise, shall be preferred," said the NLSIU statement.

These elective courses may also be delivered in hybrid mode. Hybrid mode means that while most of the classes will be conducted online, Full Time Elective Faculty, as well as Intensive Elective Faculty, need to be present on the campus to interact with students for five consecutive days during the term. Classes shall be held between 8.50 hours and 19.10 hours on weekdays only.

These courses may be delivered in the following two formats:

• Full Term Elective with 40 hours of classroom engagement in hybrid mode spread across 10 weeks (March 06, 2023 to May 28, 2023); OR
• Intensive Elective with 40 hours of classroom engagement, with 4 hours each day for 10 days (April 17, 2023, to April 28, 2023)

Three types of Elective Courses are common at NLSIU:

• Taught Course (predominantly lecture/discussion based, with an exam);
• Research Course (focused on review of primary and secondary research leading to a Term Paper);
• Practice or Clinical Course (focused on field work, simulation, drafting or litigation exercises examined through the clinical methods).

NLSIU will support travel (only for the domestic flight, to and from Bengaluru) and accommodation for individuals selected to teach electives, and necessary arrangements shall be made after mutual discussion.
