Message From Dean

Prof. (Dr.) B. Venugopal

Dean - School Of Law

Legal Education is not just mastering of the subjects or the varied provisions of the law. It is the overall development of an individual into a legal profession. In School of Law, Law is structured in such a way that it would give a clear understanding of the meticulous and rigorous structure of the Indian Legal System and International Legal Traditions. We care for every student and at School of Law, we don’t teach in conventional way but make the student learn. Marching along the intendment of the Bar Council of India, the UGC and Academic Regulations of Vel Tech governing legal studies, the Institute will inculcate research and investigative focus in legal minds to enter any type of challenging avocations.

Message From HOD

Legal Learning has become one of the most exciting avocations of the present generation. Legal Education having its broad concept includes practicing law in the Law Courts, law teaching, law research and administration in different branches of our Constitutional system. The significance of legal empowerment through legal education can not be over-emphasized in a democratic community. It has become the necessary duty of every citizen to know the Law as ignorance of Law can not be excused at all. With this object in mind the School of Law, Vel Tech University in accordance with the mandate of Bar Council of India norms has adopted a proliferating culture of Moot Courts and made legal education more practicable and behavioral than simply learning the letter of Law. We at Veltech School of Law inculcate the students with operative legal rules which stimulate their skills and competence required for their future career.

I WANT TO JOIN INDIAN ARMY AS AN OFFICER!
After undergoing tough training and many selections for several months, I reached Delhi after being selected for ALL INDIA RAJPATH to march on January 26, 2022, which was the proudest incident of my life. The moment I did “Dhaine Dekh” for our Honourable President of India and Pradhan Mantri Shri Narendra Modi was mesmerizingly proud. I was a part of the Prime Minister Rally and Flag area. I felt blessed being there. I took pictures with Honourable Prime Minister along with Defence Minister and DG NCC. I had a chance to meet top officials including chief of all three Defence Forces. I interacted with respected Governor and Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

I am thankful to everybody who stood by me to achieve my dream, especially my parents, Associate NCC Officer [ANO], my seniors, and my batchmates who helped me represent Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Andaman and Nicobar Directorate on the marching field. I feel immense pleasure in thanking the higher officials of my institution and special thanks to the Dean of School of Law and all my faculty members who gave me this opportunity to prove myself and achieve my dream. I am certain that I have chosen the best learning platform, Veltech University. Apart all the support, my hard work paved way for my success.

Poiyamozhi. S School of Law, B.A.LLB[Hons] A JOURNEY through my NCC days
My aim is to become an IPS OFFICER . I was a part of scouts at school and being the troop leader I got inspired to join in uniformed services and also I am proud of being the holder of RAJYA PURASKAR which is the highest award given to the student in the State level . The next is NCC through which I found my hidden skills, that motivates me to become an IPS officer. My first camp was at INDIAN NAVAL ACADEMY, EZHIMALA , the place where all Naval NCC Cadets dream to visit. After undergoing swimming test and selection in unit level , I became the only SD cadet who got selected from 1TN NAVAL UNIT . I experienced a lot there and was able to learn how to be responsible and even in those pandemic days I got a chance to meet NAVAL officers & other State DTE Cadets.

It is my immense pleasure to thank my NCC sir S/lt. Dr. Gunasekar. T who selected me to join in NCC and I thank our Dean School of Law & faculty members who encouraged and supported me in all ways. My special thanks to my parents who stood by my side. This wouldn’t have become a turning point in my life without Vel Tech University.
