NU-affiliated LLB colleges must have own campuses in 6 months 

The National University has given all its affiliated LLB (Pass) colleges six months to shift their academic activities to their own permanent campuses, warning that institutions failing to comply with the directive will lose their affiliation and be barred from admitting new students.

The move comes amid concerns that hundreds of educational institutions, including LLB colleges, have been operating from rented buildings, temporary facilities or the premises of primary and secondary schools instead of their own campuses.

The university’s College Inspection Department issued the directive in a notification on September 7, 2026, signed by Acting College Inspector Nazim Uddin Ahmed.

The notification, titled “Regarding relocation of all affiliated LLB (Pass) colleges to their own campuses,” referred to Clause 33 of the National University’s amended Regulation-2019.

According to the notification, colleges that continue academic activities from primary or secondary school premises or other temporary or rented buildings, despite having affiliation, may face cancellation of their affiliation under the regulation.

Under the amended regulation, an LLB college must be established on its own contiguous land, with the required area varying according to its location.

A college in a metropolitan area must have at least 0.50 acre of land, while those in municipal or industrial areas must have 1.50 acres. Colleges in other areas are required to have 2.00 acres.

This means merely renting a building to conduct law classes will not be sufficient to meet the university’s affiliation requirements.
