The students, who enrolled in 2021-22, have appeard for the exams and even got their marks sheets, but they will not be allowed to practice law as their admissions itself have been questioned.

The law college has approval to admit 60 students per year, but had admitted 40 more students in that year. It is being said that pressure was brought upon the college management to admit the students, who have now been left in dire straits.
