Debate as activity encourages you to present your views in-front of an audience, which altogether makes you confident and improves you public speaking skills. Since, time and again it has been felt that the law students must poses these set of speaking skills, our College attempts to encourage its students to take part and develop a habit of public speaking. Thus with an aim to promote, train and provide a platform for the promotion of a debating culture the College established a Debating Society headed . The Society regularly conducts orientation sessions introducing students to different forms of debating. The Society meets regularly and conducts debates on varied range of topics inculcating not only the art of speaking but also instilling a culture of healthy discussion.

India has more than 1000 Law colleges of different levels of quality and development along side various National Law Schools standing for excellence in legal education. However, the dilemma of 'What next?' torments many a law student. If there is a lack of personal initiative backed by family support and suitable socio-economic context, a law graduate may not fulfill any of the possible and achievable dreams. Further, the directionless drifting attitude of teens requires to be managed and their potential needs to be channeled in the right direction. In a country like India, which is still developing, 'employability', despite having higher professional education still remains a question. Right mix of knowledge, skills and values, in this context, could usher in a positive transformation in the student. Alongside, the professional skills, other skills such as people skills, life skills, team skills and most of all communication skills are required. While combined with right knowledge and ethical values, legal profession could revive its old heritage of leading the nationalist freedom struggle and creating role models. Further, it could touch the core of public service.

The main aim of internships is to provide a smooth transition from the academic world to the real work environment. An increasing number of law schools require the completion of an internship as a prerequisite to graduation. As the legal field has become more complex and legal employment opportunities have multiplied exponentially, the definition of a 'traditional internship' has evolved greatly. The Placement Cell facilitates several different types of internship opportunities such as:

These programs places students in law offices, courts and public interest organizations with the goal of providing real-world legal experience under the guidance of faculty members, licensed attorneys and sitting judges.

FIncreasingly, law firms and chambers recruit applicants who have a portfolio of specific skills to equip them to succeed in legal practice. While talking to the graduate recruitment managers of leading law firms about what they look for in desirable candidates, need to reform it. Career & Professional Development Cell also endeavors to provide such opportunities to all batches of students to develop skills important for legal professionals.
