Dear Student friends,
National Education Foundation (NEF), since its inception in the year 1993, has actively engaged in promotion of higher education in the entire North East India. NEF has been looking ahead for expansion, extension and dissemination of education with more and more courses of modern studies. In its efforts to encourage and inspire the young generation to opt courses of human and professional interest, the Foundation has maintained constant touch with the modern trends in the fields of educational exploration and thus, it has maintained its pace and progress unabated in realizing its aims and objectives. It now stands as one of the premier organisation of the North East Region of the country by virtue of its devotion and service to the society as a whole.
NEF Law College established in 2007, offers a Five Year Law course - B.A. LL.B. (Honours), B.B.A. LL.B. (Honours), B.Com. LL.B. (Hons), Three Year LL.B. and LL.M. under Gauhati University. The courses will meet the long standing demand of students of the entire NE Region, who want to opt for Legal profession ‘by choice’ and not ‘by chance’. Above all, introduction of such a course in a College at Guwahati has reduced migration of students from this region to other states thereby minimizing ‘brain drain’ and at the same time can be deemed as a small but significant contribution towards the State Economy as it would reduce the outflow of resources- both human and financial. Thus, NEF’s endeavor in this regard is hoped to be visualized as a pioneering step in popularizing and modernizing legal education in this part of the country.
NEF Law College is an excellent ‘Learning-centered institution’. Your assistance is crucial and I am looking forward to work with you as we continue to strengthen and improve NEF Law College. Please feel free to send me any query or comments you would like me to consider.
Let me assure you that, we at NEF Law College, will develop and implement learning assessment, strengthen international opportunities, complete and implement core curriculum changes and continue development of technology with increased access. The Sky is the limit for NEF Law College. Those who wish to be the ‘Legal Eagles of the future’ are most welcome to NEF Law College.
I am looking forward to the next part of our collective journey towards success.

LAw – A MoDERN outLooK
In his book ‘The Lawyer’, Martin Mayer describes Law School as the ‘crown jewel’ of the educational system, in part because Law School is the ‘last generalist professional degree’. Today, law is a field of study that offers the recipient a wide range of career options, each requiring different skills but also possessing common characteristics. The options are endless in terms of practice areas and work environments. Lawyers might find themselves arresting a ship or zoning a playground, working independently in their home or with others in high rise corporate offices. Lawyers can practice law by helping clients plan to avoid and solve problems once they develop, by representing and counselling businesses in a particular industry, by representing individuals sharing a common status or problems and by appearing (or not appearing) in court.
Law school teaches you to open your mind and think differently. This type of training is valuable in any career. Today, law is the pathway to financial rewards, intellectual stimulation, prestige, family influence, social change & career flexibility.
CAREER oPPoRtuNItIES Today, law plays a decisive role in every sphere of society. Be it the corporate sector, the defence forces, private litigation, legal advice in advertising, intellectual property - Lawyers have become an indispensable part of modern life.
Some of the exciting career options that are available to law graduates are:
