Objective of the Course

To keep constitutional study abreast with modern day developments is the core concern of the
course. An endeavor is made in the course to highlight over sixty years of constitutional rule in India
and its performance in keeping federal fabric intact and the Student’s capacity building to test the
nature of Indian Constitutional Governance during the post-independence era. Theories of
federalism are a major focus of the course. Amendments shall be another focus which have played
major role in development of constitutional studies in India. Accordingly, such amendments would
be analyzed to see functional and structural changes within the Constitution of India.

Pedagogy

The quantum of inputs and consequential revisits to theoretical understanding on the subject requires
a combination of methodology and teaching aids to achieve the highest possible degree of inputs
assimilation by the Students in order to maximize the output.

original and factual course of development of law, legal institutions and courts in
India.

Methodology:

There will be interactive class lectures, group discussions, movie screening, etc.
focusing on contemporary issues pertaining to modern India in the face of
changing world order. Class seminars, stand-on talks and short-term paper
presentations will also be a substitute to regular class work.
