The connections between law, science, technology and social sciences are ubiquitous increasingly complex in contemporary societies. Symbols of these connections can be seen in road signs, food labels, safety certificates, birth and death certificates, bank cards, medicinal prescriptions, deeds, door security locks, motor vehicle performance tests, public behaviour and its surveillance, and so on. Similar connections can be found in a myriad of more hidden social spaces, such as biochemical laboratories, planning offices, industrial manufacturers, patent offices, crime scenes, law courts, and parliaments. In all these cases, fundamental legally framed social relationships, property ownership, as well as responsibilities, including liability, and rights arising from these. The connections between law, science, technology, and society continually evolve in interaction with each other, and to understand these connections represents a significant academic challenge. 

The Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences (RUAS) provides a distinctive and appropriate multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary knowledge ecosystem to offer such a unique blend of law, science, and technology program.

B.A. LL.B.(Hons) is a five year integrated undergraduate program which prepares students for opportunities in the field of science, technology and law. The mode of imparting education as part of this program is through 3D Aspects of Law i.e., Law in Text; Law in context; and Law in Practice by classroom teaching, lab experiments, as well as through case studies, moot courts and client interviews etc. The maximum duration in which candidates need to complete B.A. LL.B.(Hons.) programme is eight years.

The objective of this program is to prepare students for the field of law by imparting integrated knowledge of Social Science and Law. The main objective of this programme is to impart knowledge, understanding and cognitive abilities in Law and science related courses. The program is application oriented, interdisciplinary approach, problem solving and outcome driven curriculum. The programme further focuses on research-informed teaching, comprehensive assessment and evaluation, dissemination of legal and social knowledge to solve societal problems, development of competencies and practical skills required for effective problem solving and right decision making in different activities relevant to Law. Further the program fosters a culture of socio-legal entrepreneurship. The programme also embeds courses to train students on personal development and interactive skills with a feel for society. The B.A. LL.B. (Hons) is of 5 years duration spread over 10 semesters.

During each semester students’ performance is assessed through continuous evaluation (CE) which includes teacher interaction, session examination, and a Semester End Examination (SEE). CE and SEE weights carry equal weightage.

Students are awarded grades based on the marks scored.
