In the garden city of Bengaluru is a law college renowned for its highly systematic education system, proven facilities for students and a record that has always pointed towards the ability of its faculty to impart knowledge that resonates with the real world.
The Ramaiah College of Law (formerly MS. Ramaiah College of Law), was founded by the Late Dr M.S. Ramaiah in 1995. As it was approved by the Bar Council of India, it added one more feather to the cap of the M.S. Ramaiah Group of Institutions.
Before the law school, a number of other educational institutions were established by the group and its founder, known as the Gokula Education Foundation (GEF). GRF was established in 1962. The Late Dr Ramaiah, known to be a visionary, philanthropist and an educationalist was the chairman of the group.
The law college is thus a part of a larger educational group that provides huge support to the college, though all institutions of this group have come up with their own independent infrastructure.
The college has a high-calibre faculty with effective and interactive teaching skills. The college has contributed competent and value-based professionals in the arena of law and this is evident from the fact that some of its outstanding graduates have excelled in their profession and have also been working in distinguished law firms and companies.
