Established in 1955, A.M.P. (Government) Law College, Rajkot, holds the distinction of being the first state-run law institution in the Saurashtra region. Initially functioning under Dharmendrasinhji College, it gained independent status in 1978. The college was later renamed in honour of Late Shri Amrutlal Mansang Parekh—a respected philanthropist known for his invaluable contributions to education and society.

Since its inception, the college has remained affiliated with Saurashtra University. It complies with the academic and professional standards set by the Bar Council of India (BCI) and holds recognition from the University Grants Commission (UGC) as well as accreditation from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).

The flagship program of the institution is the three-year LL.B. degree, open to graduates from any stream. Eligibility requires a minimum of 45% marks in the qualifying degree (42% for OBC and 40% for SC/ST categories). The college enforces a professional dress code and a disciplined academic environment, preparing students effectively for future roles in the legal and judicial systems.

A.M.P. Law College is equipped with modern infrastructure, including a well-stocked library featuring up-to-date legal texts and journals, technologically supported lecture halls, moot courtrooms, an auditorium, sports facilities, and computer labs. Beyond academics, students benefit from a range of developmental initiatives such as career guidance, scholarships, educational tours, workshops, seminars, moot court competitions, and visits to legal institutions.

In 2012, the college launched a Legal Aid Centre in collaboration with the district judiciary. This initiative provides students with hands-on experience in extending legal assistance, particularly to underprivileged and incarcerated individuals—reflecting the college’s commitment to justice and social responsibility.

Over the years, the college has produced a distinguished cadre of alumni who have gone on to serve as judges, vice-chancellors, political leaders, administrators, and legal experts. Their achievements continue to enhance the college’s reputation and societal impact.

From its humble origins within a shared campus to its emergence as a prominent independent law institution, A.M.P. (Government) Law College has witnessed significant evolution since 1955. Its steadfast commitment to academic excellence, ethical practice, and social equity firmly establishes it as a cornerstone of legal education in Gujarat.
