About us

Silicon Valley is known for a large number of educational institutions offering a wide range of professional courses. There are a number of institutes that offer courses in law as well. However, increasing crime rates, disputes and cybercrimes indicate the need for a more robust legal force to tackle the increasing number of such cases in courts. Keeping this in mind, the Rashtreeya Sikshana Samithi Trust (RSST) established the RV Institute of Legal Studies (RVILS) in the academic year 2018-19 with a new dimension and a unique approach towards legal education. RVILS is affiliated to the Karnataka State Law University, Hubballi and is approved by the Bar Council of India, New Delhi. RVILS offers B.A., LL.B. and B.B.A., LL.B. - 5 Year Integrated Degree Courses. We, as an Institution, endeavour to produce many legal luminaries in our forthcoming batches thereby contributing to the profession in itself and the society at large. As an institution we strive to provide quality legal education to students of all sections of the society without any discrimination.

RV INSTITUTIONS

Rashtreeya Sikshana Samithi Trust started 8 decades ago with only six students as its first and only teacher: the founder Sri Sivananda Sharmaji. The sapling which he planted in the year 1940 is today a MIGHTY TREE and is very evidently reflected in the establishment of 23 institutions offering courses ranging from Nursery to Post Graduate level with over 2,000 staff members and around 21,000 students. Today, the alumni of RV Institutions are placed in senior positions at various National, International and Multinational Organizations. Also, the Trust runs a special school for differently abled children to cater to the special needs of the society. After yeomen service to the nation, today the brand ‘RV’ is being recognized as a household name, a synonym for quality education. RV has become a part of Bangalore’s road map with a road named after it.
