CNLU Patna Signs MoU with University of Leicester

A New Door Opens for Bihar’s Brightest Legal Minds!

In a major win for legal education in Bihar, Chanakya National Law University (CNLU), Patna, has signed a groundbreaking Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the University of Leicester, UK. This strategic tie-up marks a turning point for students aspiring to pursue LLM abroad—bringing global opportunities one step closer to home.

Global Gateway: LLM Made Accessible for CNLU Graduates

Signed by Prof. Faizan Mustafa, Vice-Chancellor of CNLU, and Daniel Greco, Global Partnerships Manager at Leicester University, the MoU will allow CNLU graduates a direct pathway into Leicester’s prestigious LLM program.

What’s even better? CNLU students will enjoy a 30% fee concession, and those from economically weaker backgrounds can apply for additional scholarships offered by the University of Leicester.

This agreement isn’t just about access—it’s about empowerment. With UK-based exposure, Bihar’s legal scholars will now get to sharpen their expertise on an international stage.

Beyond LLM: More Collaborations on the Horizon

Prof. Mustafa shared his vision for more such collaborations. According to him, this MoU is just the beginning. He’s confident that similar tie-ups with top international universities are on the way. These global links will enable joint research, academic exchange, and long-term collaboration—setting the tone for CNLU’s transformation into a global academic hub.

Such partnerships signal a mindset shift: Bihar’s institutions are now thinking beyond borders. And rightly so.

Why Now? A Changing Landscape for Legal Education in India

The timing couldn’t be more perfect. With the Supreme Court’s revival of the three-year rule for judicial service eligibility, law graduates now have renewed options. CNLU, keeping pace with this change, is stepping up to ensure its students don’t just compete—but lead.

In addition to this international collaboration, CNLU has launched a Civil Services Academy. This initiative offers personalised coaching for students aiming for UPSC and state civil services. It’s a two-pronged strategy: while some students will explore global degrees, others will receive full support to crack top national exams.

Bihar’s Legal Youth: On the Verge of a Global Leap

This MoU represents more than just an agreement between two institutions. It’s a statement. A clear message that students from Bihar can dream big, aim global, and achieve beyond boundaries.

So whether you’re a law graduate in Patna, or a parent hoping for your child’s brighter future—this news is for you. And it’s just the beginning.
