Overview

Promoted in 2003, Hidayatullah National Law University (HNLU) has within a short span of time established a national reputation as a premier legal education institution that continually strives towards excellence. 

Named after the eminent legal luminary Justice Mohammed Hidayatullah, the university was established by the Government of Chhattisgarh under the Hidayatullah National University of Law, Chhattisgarh, Act (Act No.10 of 2003).

The new campus is built over 65 acres of land adjoining a beautiful lake amidst verdant surroundings. The academic block comprises a three-storied library with air-conditioned reading hall and an air-conditioned computer lab equipped with 150 computers. Moot Court Hall at HNLU serves as a laboratory to test the advocacy skills of the students of HNLU.

The air-conditioned classrooms are equipped with teaching aids such as DLP projectors and interactive boards. It also hosts a conference hall and an amphitheatre. The Halls of Residence at the new campus have been constructed to provide single room accommodation to each student.
