Overview
About Chanakya National Law University
Chanakya National Law University is a law college in Patna, Bihar, established in 2006. It is affiliated to Chanakya National Law University. Chanakya National Law University holds a NAAC grade of B, valid until 13/06/2027. Chanakya National Law University offers 5 programmes, 1 at undergraduate level and 5 at postgraduate level. They are B.A., LL.B. (Hons.), B.B.A., LL.B. (Hons.), LL.B. (Hons.), LL.M. One Year Course and B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) / B.B.A., LL.B. (Hons.), 5-Year Integrated Course. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 198 seats. For 2026-27, the official 3-year LL.B. (Hons.) brochure states 60 seats and CNLU-ET 2026 admission. The brochure names the Moot Court Committee, Legal Aid Cell (Vidhikta), and research centres including CRC, CARCIL, CIRF-In IPHD, CCADR, CIILE and CLE. The annual report states 25,533 library holdings, 40 subscribed journals, 16 smart classrooms, four sponsored research projects in 2023-24, and nine research-programme admissions in 2024-25. No specific external clinical tie-up, patent count, or CNLU-specific faculty category breakdown was published in the sources used. The university website states that it came into being on 15 July 2006 under the Chanakya National Law University Act, 2006, and the 2026-27 official brochure documents a 3-year LL.B. (Hons.) course with 60 seats and admission through CNLU-ET. The BCI 2026-27 extension notice was located, but a college-specific 2026-27 approval/extension entry or letter was not verified in the available evidence; therefore no BCI course approval or sanctioned intake is asserted here. The 18-acre figure is from an older official 2023 brochure and is not presented as a 2026-27 measurement.
