Orientation 2026!
June 30, 2026
Welcome to Orientation 2026!
We are excited to welcome our new cohort of undergraduate, postgraduate students and Ph.D scholars for the Academic Year 2026-27. The orientation programme, beginning 28 June, is spread across three days to introduce over 600 new students of the B.A. LL.B. (Hons), B.A. (Hons.), LL.B. (Hons.), LL.M., MPP cohort and Ph.D scholars to various academic and social aspects of the NLS community.
Over the week, the campus will be abuzz with activity as our new students and their families complete their registration and onboarding process at the University. As our students transition to university, we are proud to welcome them into an inclusive academic community—one that is dedicated to rigorous scholarship, holistic development, and a vibrant culture of free and open inquiry.
