The Kerala Law Academy admits students based on merit, requiring a minimum of 50% in school exams and success in a state entrance exam, followed by interviews. For the LL.B course, candidates need a graduation degree with at least 45% marks. The transparent admission process includes an application and entrance exam, with details available online. The academy has a skilled faculty of about 20 teachers, all holding LLM degrees, who focus on practical law education and personal student performance.
The LL.B five-year program costs around Rs 1,44,000, with fees of Rs 40,000 for the first year and Rs 26,000 for each following year. A three-year program costs approximately Rs 86,000 in total, with fees of Rs 33,000, Rs 28,000, and Rs 25,000 for each successive year. Another five-year course option has fees of Rs 25,000 for the first three years, Rs 28,000 for the fourth year, and Rs 30,000 for the fifth year. Scholarships and fee concessions are based on merit.
While the college is recognized as affordable, it faces challenges with its placement cell, which impacts its claim of high placement rates, as evident from limited activities and availability of placements. Internships are compulsory for 28 days each year, without stipends, and must be completed in approved settings like courts and police stations. Though internships in reputed firms are available, not all students receive direct placements due to diverse career interests in law.
The college itself does not offer scholarships but facilitates access to government scholarships for eligible students.
