Commenting on the partnership with NLUJ, Sagarika Chakraborty said,

“This partnership brings together two institutions with complementary strengths. NLUJ brings profound expertise in legal theory and the jurisprudential foundations of justice. IIRIS brings cutting-edge investigative practice and real-world experience across more than a decade of operations in over ten countries. Together, we are creating a sustained interface between the academy and industry, between theory and practice.”

Prof (Dr) Harpreet Kaur said,

"Skills for future litigation and other legal works are required to be inculcated in budding lawyers. Law universities need to be cognisant of the fact that present-day skills might not be sufficient later. NLU Jodhpur signed this MoU with IIRIS for skilling its students both by teaching and researching for cyber-led forensic investigations and diligence. The MoU is in alignment with the focus of the university in Law and Technology interface."
