About Hidayatullah National Law University
Hidayatullah National Law University is a law college in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, established in 2003. It is affiliated to Hidayatullah National Law University. Its programmes are approved by the Bar Council of India. Hidayatullah National Law University offers 2 programmes at postgraduate level. They are B.A LL.B. (Hons.) and LL.M. Official facilities pages state six fully furnished moot court halls, a legal aid/social services programme, and subscriptions including SCC Online, Manupatra and Westlaw. The 2025-26 committee document names separate Moot Court/ADR and Legal Aid and Social Services committees. The NIRF 2026 submission reports 41 faculty, including one Dean/Principal/Director/VC category member and one visiting faculty; the designation breakdown reported here follows its stated professors, associate professors and assistant professors. HNLU's official pages identify Prof. (Dr.) V.C. Vivekanandan as Vice-Chancellor, but do not establish a separate principal for this university. HNLU is a state law university established under the Hidayatullah National University of Law, Chhattisgarh Act, 2003 (Act No. 10 of 2003), and awards its own degrees. The official 2026-27 admissions page names B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) and LL.M.; the UG admission route is based on CLAT 2026. A contemporaneous report states that HNLU reported a 2026-27 BCI approval gap attributed to a BCI portal/fee issue; this is recorded as an unresolved approval-status gap, not as a finding of withdrawal or prohibition. Older official materials refer to five moot-court halls, while another older brochure claims six; the current facilities page supports five.
