It became a Faculty in 1960/61 and then eventually a full-fledged School in the 2014/15 academic year. UGSoL has over the years undergone significant changes—offering several undergraduate (LL.B.) and post-graduate (M.A., LL.M. and PhD) programmes—and continues to evolve in response to the changing educational environment.
