Established in 2018 by RV Educational Institutions (RVEI), MKPM RV Institute of Legal Studies was founded in response to the increasing complexity of disputes, evolving legal systems and emerging challenges such as cybercrime.
Located in Bengaluru — one of India’s leading centres for professional education — RVILS was envisioned as a modern law institute that blends academic rigour with practical legal training. The institute prepares students to understand the law not merely as theory, but as a discipline that must be practised responsibly and ethically in society.

Affiliated to Karnataka State Law University (KSLU)

Approved by Bar Council of India (BCI)
Moot court training simulates real courtroom proceedings, allowing students to develop legal research, drafting, and oral advocacy skills. Through structured competitions and guided practice, students gain practical experience with litigation processes while building confidence in presenting arguments to judges and legal professionals.
The Legal Aid Clinic promotes access to justice and community engagement. Students work under faculty guidance to participate in legal awareness programmes and outreach initiatives, gaining practical insight into social justice issues while understanding how law serves society beyond the courtroom.
We encourage students to actively engage in legal research, writing, and scholarly publications. Through journals, research projects, and academic forums, students explore contemporary legal issues, strengthen analytical thinking, and contribute to meaningful discussions within the legal and academic community.
Regular guest lectures and legal workshops bring distinguished advocates, judges, academicians, and industry experts to our campus. These sessions expose students to contemporary legal developments, professional perspectives, and practical insights that complement classroom learning and broaden their understanding of the legal profession.
RVILS prepares students for the legal profession through structured internships and industry exposure, and develops skills required for careers in litigation, corporate law, public service and the judiciary.
Campus life at RVILS is dynamic and engaging, offering students opportunities to participate in academic forums, legal awareness initiatives, student clubs and campus events.
