This abstract delves into the implications of the transformations done in the education system though National Education Policy with special emphasis to Legal Education.

We know that by integrating vocational training and experiential learning opportunities within the legal curriculum, the National Education Policy poses to bring a balance between theoretical and practical application of law. It also provides a multi facet opportunity to law graduates in diversified fields and helps in enhancing the employability and professional competence of law graduates.
