MEET OUR MASTERS PROGRAMMES, 2017-19 GRADUATES PLACEMENT BROCHURE The cover design seeks to represent Azim Premji University as a space for growth and inclusion where students and faculty work together to contribute to the realization of a just, equitable, humane and sustainable society. The illustrations used in our Placement Brochure each year, seek to represent the rich diversity of folk art, expressive of community and sustainability, across the states of India. Madhubani art which originated in the Mithila region is created with fingers, twigs, brushes, nib-pens, and matchsticks, using natural dyes and pigments, and is characterized by eye-catching motifs and patterns. Traditionally, this is created by women and depicts mankind in association with nature. The paintings adapted in this year’s brochure have been created by Madhubani artists Leela Devi and Ranjana Das.

We would like to thank students for some of the photograph used in the brochure. Contents

Azim Premji University - Placement Brochure 2017 - 19 11 Our Faculty, Teaching and Learning Process

Over the last few years we have built a very committed faculty team of 140 members. Most faculty have doctoral degrees in relevant domains and many have personally contributed to the social sphere and have been actively engaged in setting up and running NGOs and schools across the country. The blend of academics and field experience among the faculty creates a very vibrant, rich and collegial environment. Added to this, the wealth of experience and practice related expertise of Azim Premji Foundation’s field institution members, guest lectures from several practitioners and academicians from outside have immensely benefited students. We expect the education at the University to be an important beginning or continuation, not the final stage, of a process of learning. Our programmes aim to (i) promote excellence in learning appropriate to the diverse contexts that students come from (ii) ensure that they reflect the University’s social purpose and (iii) nurture students who are capable of making sensitive ethical choices, are socially engaged and capable of thoughtful and skillful action. In line with this, the teaching and learning processes inside and outside the classroom are designed to ensure that students and faculty engage each other in dialogue, questioning and also address issues of inclusion and diversity. Faculty are facilitators of learning, creating an environment that is not competitive, but one that focuses on the students own accomplishments in learning. Detailed profiles of faculty are available at: http://azimpremjiuniversity.edu.in/people

Objectives The LL.M. in Law and Development is intended to achieve the following objectives (i) facilitate the creation of a diverse cohort of academically proficient and socially engaged scholars and practitioners of law; (ii) introduce students from law backgrounds to the context, debates and imperatives of the processes of development in India, and the significant role of legal institutions in conditioning these processes; and (iii) enable students to critically engage with the possibility and the means of using law as an agency of positive social change. The LL.M. is designed for a small cohort of students to ensure an immersive and intensive educational experience, and is designed for students who seek to make a mark in the legal system, government, civil society, academia and the world of ideas.

Teaching Philosophy In pursuance of the objective mentioned above, the LL.M. in Law and Development integrates a rigorous philosophical and conceptual analysis of legal doctrine with a social scientific enquiry into law and society in India. This LL.M. will integrate two distinct approaches to the study of law & legal institutions in India. The first is to develop a textured, empirical understanding of how law and legal institutions operate in Indian society that avoids a purely

Azim Premji University - Placement Brochure 2017 - 19 27 Placements Overview Central to realizing our vision is to see our students engaged with the social sector after they graduate. The Placement cell at the University comprising students and faculty mentors work on this aspect. For the fourth year running, the University has had very healthy placements. In the last six batches, more than 1300 students have graduated. It is heartening that over 70% of these students chose to work in the social sector (with NGO’s, government programs, fellowships, schools and other organizations) and among them more than 80% opted for work at the grassroots in rural areas and small towns, where their competency is most needed. Reflective of the purpose of the University, students have consciously chosen work, that they believe, fulfils their aspiration of contributing meaningfully to social change on the ground.
