ADC will be the second affiliated college under AU to start a PhD in Law, after CMP Degree College.

At RPNLU, PhD admissions will commence with three seats, also through UGC-NET qualification. This expansion will significantly boost legal research opportunities in the region.
Prof. Atul Kumar Singh, principal of ADC, said, "PhD has already started in various subjects at our college. Due to a lack of regular law faculty, it was delayed in Law, but with 21 faculty now in place, we are ready to launch."
