Invitation to teach Module/s at NLSIU

NLSIU invites expression of interest from academicians/practitioners interested to teach a Module/s as part of ongoing courses taught at the University in the Academic Year 2024-25.

The list of core courses being offered at the University for the Academic Year can be viewed on the respective programme pages on the NLS website.

After a review of their request, the University will match selected candidates with a Faculty member teaching the relevant core course.
