Q: Could you briefly talk about your teaching pedagogy?

A: We are a student-centric institute and hence, we keep experimenting with our pedagogy to improve and make learning easier and fun for students yet qualitative. While experimenting, the one component that stays common is that we want to involve more and more practical exposure for students so they learn while doing. To share some of the examples:

1. We are making use of simulation games as a teaching tool in joint efforts with NGO named Fields of View. This NGO carries out research at the intersection of technology, social sciences and art to design tools. We use these simulations, which are game theory applications, to add to the MA and undergraduate curricula an aspect of experiential learning
2. Recently we have launched the concept of Capstone project. JSGP and JSIA students, with The Asia Foundation support, have prepared a draft ‘White Paper’ “India’s Development Cooperation Policy”. This policy is slated for a public discussion on campus
3. United Nations International Children’s Fund (UNICEF), with JSGP and the Royal University of Bhutan, organized ‘Technical Support for Institutionalisation of Programme on Social Policy’ to benefit Bhutan members of parliament and senior officials in government and civil society organisations over three weeks at Sherubste College, Kanglung, East Bhutan, during February 2016
4. Pre-dissertation workshop conducted for Masters Students introduce them to Research Culture and prepare them for research writing.

Q: How are you aiming to make students industry-ready?

A: Industry readiness is a crucial factor that not just defines students’ ability to take up challenging roles in the corporate world but also defines how well the law school has worked on them to turn their career this way.
