RAS question
National Law University Jodhpur (NLUJ) was established in:
Correct answer: (B) 1999.
National Law University Jodhpur was established in 1999 under the National Law University Jodhpur Act, 1999.
Explanation
National Law University Jodhpur was established in 1999. The university was created under the National Law University Jodhpur Act, 1999 by the State Legislative Assembly. NLUJ initially functioned from the Jai Narain Vyas University campus before becoming one of India's premier law universities. The founding legal year is 1999: the Act itself is dated 1999, and National Law University Jodhpur ties its establishment to that Act.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) 2005 is too late; NLUJ's establishment is linked to the National Law University Jodhpur Act, 1999.
- (C) 2010 is not the establishment year, because NLUJ's creation was under the 1999 Act.
- (D) 2001 is not the establishment year; NLUJ's official establishment basis is the National Law University Jodhpur Act, 1999.
Concept
RAS preparation for Rajasthan's higher-education institutions includes founding chronology because state universities often reflect legislative and administrative development. National Law University Jodhpur's establishing Act and year fix its chronology more precisely than its later reputation.
