It also has the unique distinction of being the only law school within the IIT system. It has maintained 9th position amongst different law schools in India in the NIRF Ranking 2023.

About the Event

The Master's Conference on Intellectual Property (MCIP) is centered on Intellectual Property and the related areas. Building upon the success of MCIP 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, both nationally and internationally, we are pleased to introduce MCIP 4.0 in 2024, themed "IP AND ACCESS." This edition draws inspiration from the current complexities in the intellectual property sector, marked by growing monopolies and reduced accessibility.

Our objective is to offer a platform for aspiring professionals from various domains, including law, engineering, science, philosophy, and any field related to the theme.
