I had Regulatory exposure while working with the “Apex Capital Market regulator” for nearly two decades. However, I needed to hone my skill set relating to understanding law. Therefore, after considering many factors such as infrastructure, especially a sophisticated moot court hall, experienced faculties, supporting staff and suitable timing for a working professional, I chose Lords Universal College of Law to pursue my long cherished dream. It was an enriching experience indeed at LUCL as I built a professional network, honed up moot court skills, got exposure by attending seminars and also participated in various legal fests organised by other renowned institutions. I think I was able to complete my course due to the continuous encouragement that I received from Principal Madam, or else it would have been very tough for a working professional like me. Life at LUCL was all about reinventing myself. It paved the way for learning new things, discovering various options and striving toward accomplishing them

Completed my LLB in 2020 from Lords Universal College of Law. Right from admission to the Degree Distribution Ceremony, the journey has been very smooth. The various events like Moot Courts, Guest Lectures, extracurricular activities, etc , were very beneficial in shaping me. Guest Lectures wherein prominent legal personalities shared their insights were indeed inspiring. The practical insights, visions, experiences and knowledge that were shared with the students motivated them to excel and helped them to work towards sharpening their skills. The faculties have always been supportive, especially the head of the institution, and their collective efforts have not only inspired me to do my research and self-study after classes but also helped me to excel in academics. The learning experience was truly interesting and worthwhile

Lords College offers a blend of learning, amusement and integration of enduring principles

As a law student, it provides a wide arena of the field and thus, I got to learn something about every subject. The entire learning environment makes it easy for a student to learn and inculcate the spirit to stand out amongst talented and hard-working students. What amazes me is the plethora of extracurricular activities that the institute offers, hence compelling every student to explore and nourish their extra talents. The institute manages these aspects exceptionally well, and a student always finds himself in a pool of never-ending opportunities, be it studies, moot courts or other research activities. Another very significant aspect is the Principal, Lectures and staff of the college are approachable, helpful and devoted, and the Professors that impart quality education to the students. Never can a student find himself lost in a concept and professors unable to rescue him. The institute’s library is the ultimate answer to all our queries regarding books, papers, periodicals and helping staff. Lords College believes in maturating its students through practical exposure by encouraging them to participate in and organise national-level competitions Via. Moot Court, Debates, Client Consultation, Model Parliament, conferences, Extempore Cultural Activities, Sports etc. Placements from new and reputed companies have encouraged students to grow big and achieve more. The whole experience, hence, is a roller coaster ride of learning and new experiences

Graduating as a Lawyer from Lords Universal College of Law has been a great experience, a memory to cherish for a lifetime. My 5 years at Lords Universal College of Law have been a wonderful experience of learning the law with prolific exposure to actual courts.

Lord's Universal College of Law has been a great contributor to developing my personality not just as a lawyer but also as an individual

For me, Lords Universal College of Law is not just a college; it’s an emotion!

Five years at Lord's Universal College of Law was an evolving process. The college not only provided an excellent team of faculty who have been the light at the end of every tunnel, whom we students follow and find our path for academic growth, but they provided unconditional support for growth in terms of personality development

The college builds you in a way that you get prepared for facing the outer world. One of the best things about Lord's Universal College of Law is that you have seniors that are ready to help you with anything and everything at any point in time, and this makes it a great place to survive and thrive.

It gives me great pleasure to say with pride that I have completed my LL B from Lords Universal College of Law. The relationship between faculty and students was very cordial, which allowed me not only to excel in my studies but to meet and make new friends for life The three years spent here were splendid and have helped me to grow better professionally & personally.

It isn’t easy to sum up the memories and experiences of the past three years in a few lines. I consider myself very fortunate to be a part of this renowned institute which was not only motivational but had a special feature of building & developing strong bonds that helped me progress in life. It was this environment which inspired us to study and enjoy co-curricular activities. All the professors were very helpful; they guided us all the time. One can find good mentors here. Different events like Moot Courts, Guest sessions and Court Visits have boosted my confidence which I can experience at my workplace now. It has been an unforgettable journey. I have spent the most wonderful days of my life in this college.

It has been worth spending three years to gain a positive aspect of personal and professional grooming. The experience has broadened my horizon and changed my view about many things. Joining LUCL was the best decision I made. I want to thank all the faculty members and staff for making me a better person and professional

Adv. Ashish U. Dube Class of 2020

Lords Universal College of Law, as an institution, was not confined to academics only but also to extracurricular activities, which significantly enhanced our confidence and enabled us to demonstrate our abilities beyond the classroom. This college provided me ample opportunities to grow and groom myself. I remember the excursion trips to the courts, jail, etc , which was an integral part of the curriculum. My best years of life have been filled with the best learning opportunities - all thanks to Lord's Universal College of Law!

B.L.S. L.L.B - Class of 2020

I have been a student at Lords Universal College of Law for 5 years in the 5-year BLS LLB course, and from what I have experienced, I can tell you it is a great law school. The teachers are very reasonable and fair. The staff is excellent, and the rules help keep the law school safe and in order. There is an equal balance of learning and reviewing the information so that everyone gets what is to be done, and there’s tutoring if we need it. There are many opportunities for the students. I like that the law school has many activities available for students. There are various law societies and clubs, and the teachers make the assignments/ projects/ moot court fun with an awesome learning experience. I have passed out in the year 2021 and am currently working as a Legal Associate at a Law Firm in Dubai. I am forever indebted to my law school for shaping me as a legal professional and into what I am today
