During the inaugural function of a private law college near Vasudevanallur, TN Minister for Law, Courts, Prisons and Prevention of Corruption S Regupathy said that after the Tamil Nadu government gave NOC to private law colleges for running law courses, now more students can study law in the state. 

"Four of the seven private law colleges, awarded NOC by the State government, have been inaugurated. The count of law seats has gradually increased from 700 to around 7,000. The private colleges are allowed to run both five-year and three-years courses," he said, as reported by Indian Express.
