"The MEEL programme provides in-depth insights into Energy and Environmental Law, through close interaction with renowned professors and professionals in the field, and continuously stimulates its students to surpass themselves in terms of academic research and writing. Participation in the MEEL course is an outright privilege and a life-altering experience."
