Law varsity to introduce objective-type questions
HUBLI: Karnataka State Law University (KSLU, Hubli) has proposed to change the question paper pattern of all courses by introducing objective-type questions from the 2011-12 academic year. Once the Syndicate clears the proposal, 92 law colleges in the state, which come under KSLU ambit, will follow the new question paper pattern.
KSLU, which is offering five-year, 10-semester BA LLB and three-year post-graduate programmes in LLB and LLM, is exploring possibilities to reform the exam system. At present, the university is having question papers with only subjective questions. Now it is planning to divide 100 marks between objective- and subjective-type questions with each getting 50 marks.
Law graduates will have to take an exam conducted by Bar Council of India (BCI) to start their career as lawyers. But according to KSLU sources, the students have been finding it difficult to clear the exam as it comprises many objective-type questions. Students had earlier insisted KSLU authorities to change the existing question paper pattern to help them clear BCI exams.
Speaking to `The Times of India', KSLU registrar (evaluation) K S Bagale said since 2009, it has become compulsory for law graduates to clear BCI exam so as to become an advocate. "We have come across several complaints from such students in this regard," he said, and added: "To address the issue, we have decided to introduce objective-type questions from this academic year. The proposal will be presented at the Syndicate meeting so as to get it passed." Once the proposal is cleared, KSLU will send a circular to all colleges.
