The new LLM course will lay major emphasis on sustainable use of natural resources. The curriculum of the course is being designed with a motive to make students more concerned towards the environment. The course will be highly relevant to the contemporary context. The varsity is expecting a good response to this new LLM course.

Vice Chancellor of TNNLS, Kamala Sankaran revealed that the varsity is all set to introduce Ph.D. courses from this year. On the other hand, the admission to Postgraduate and Undergraduate courses will be based on CLAT (Common Law Admission Test). This year, CLAT exam is scheduled to take place in March. The selection process of TNNLS is entirely different from government law colleges across the Tamil Nadu state, explained by the VC.

At present, TNNLS reserves 50% of seats to the students belonging to Tamil Nadu. The varsity is aiming to enrol a high number of students from rural areas across Tamil Nadu.
