The pedagogy at the Army Institute of law is regularly adapted to suit the students who are at
the Institute from across India. The faculty provides course readings to the students, drawing
from their research outcomes to help them have a fresh outlook towards the latest legal
developments, and develop in them a habit to think outside the box. In the practical sense every
area of Law and every skill required by a student in his/her professional life cannot be taught
but the focus at the Army Institute is to train students to become lifelong learners through
discipline, hard work and practice.
The academic environment encourages individual as well
as group thinking so as to get the passing out batch in a state of cohesiveness to achieve success
in their future professional lives. The laurels, awards and accomplishments of the students at
