BCI Extends Law College Approval Deadline and Orders Nationwide Inspections
The Bar Council of India (BCI) has extended the deadline to August 31, 2026, for existing law colleges to renew their approval for the 2026-27 academic session, addressing delays and technical issues. Separately, the BCI has ordered universities to conduct physical inspections of all affiliated law colleges nationwide within six weeks, aiming to improve legal education quality by identifying and discontinuing impermissible weekend and shift-based programs. These measures follow recent court observations and ongoing concerns about substandard legal education institutions.
