Institute of Law and Research

What Institute of Law and Research does

The Institute of Law and Research (ILR) is a private, self-financed law school established in 2001 in Faridabad, Haryana, India, and operated under the AERI Trust (Adhiyamaan Educational & Research Institutions, founded 1987). It is approved by the Bar Council of India and affiliated to M.D. University, Rohtak (NAAC A+ accredited), offering three core programs: a 5-year integrated B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) at Rs. 40,000 per semester, a 3-year LL.B. (Hons.), and a 2-year evening LL.M., with an annual intake of 300 students (120/120/60 respectively). The institute serves secondary-school graduates, university graduates, and working professionals seeking legal qualifications, primarily from Haryana and the wider National Capital Region, and operates a 5-acre campus with 24 classrooms, a moot court room, a legal aid clinic, and a library and cyber centre.

The institute's revenue model is tuition-driven and semester-based, supplemented by a non-refundable registration fee (Rs. 5,000), prospectus charges (Rs. 500-1,000), and examination fees remitted per M.D. University schedule. Technology is limited to operational and research tooling rather than a proprietary platform: an online fee payment portal supporting debit/credit, netbanking, mobile payments and NEFT/IMPS, subscriptions to Manupatra and Westlaw International legal databases, computerized landmark judgments, and an institutional website with online registration. Distribution is direct-to-student via the campus, admission helplines, and the online portal, with marketing concentrated in print advertisements in regional newspapers, webinars, legal aid camps, and the annual National Moot Court Competition (held on 28-29 March 2025).

ILR's strategic positioning rests on its Bar Council approval and M.D. University affiliation (regulatory moat), its 24-year operating history as the first self-financed law institute in Haryana (brand/legacy moat), and a stated strategic collaboration with the International Court of Justice, The Hague, intended to support international-standard legal education. It is governed by a Chief Patron (Dr. M. Thambi Durai, former Union Minister and Rajya Sabha MP), a Chairperson (Dr. Banumathi T), a Director (Dr. Ravi Kumar Handa), and a Principal (Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh) who has been in role since the institute's founding, supported by 19 teaching faculty and 9 non-teaching staff.
