ABOUT THE COLLEGE:

Govind Ramnath Kare College of Law, the only Centre for Legal Studies in South Goa, was established in the year 1979 when acute need was felt to enable aspirants from South Goa to pursue legal education. Initially the institution was affiliated to the Bombay University until the birth of the Goa University, to which it is affiliated today.  It is recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC) under Secs. 2(f) and 12(b) and the Bar Council of India for imparting professional education in law and is today accredited by NAAC with a B Grade (CGPA 2.63 on a 4.0 point scale). Looking back at its glory, the institution boasts of its alumni being gold medalists at the University examinations, well-placed corporate employees, high ranking officials in the bureaucracy and several judicial officers including the only two women Judges of Bombay High Court, hailing from the State of Goa.

The institution has state-of-the-art infrastructure and is located in a scenic environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, thereby providing a conducive environment for learning.  It offers two under graduate programmes, viz. 5 year B.A.LL.B. and 3 year LL.B. programme as well as a 2 year LL.M. programme.  The Ph.D. programme will be offered in the coming academic year with the commencement of the Research Centre.
