Admission to the Bachelor of Laws (B.A.LL.B.) course at the University of Calcutta is based on a merit list from the university's entrance exam, held annually in May. This 2.5-hour test covers general mathematics, reasoning, general awareness, and English. Successful candidates attend a counseling session for college placement. Applications are available online and offline at the Department of Law, Hazra Campus. The college's morning classes (6:30-10:30 AM) allow students to engage in other activities post-classes.

The faculty is highly qualified, with over 10 Ph.D. holders, many of whom have practical legal experience. The student-to-faculty ratio ensures personalized attention. The course fee is affordable at INR 71,000 for five years, with annual payments of INR 5,000. The college offers financial concessions, scholarships for economically disadvantaged students, and travel concessions. Despite lacking a dedicated placement cell, about 90% of students secure internships independently, often through alumni networks or direct approaches to law firms and courts.

Notable firms like Indus Law Firm and JSA have hired graduates, with salaries up to 8-10 lakhs. The college supports self-directed career pursuits, with opportunities for court visits and moot court competitions. South Calcutta Law College offers scholarships to economically disadvantaged and reserved category students, with reduced fees for SC/ST students. The Bengal Government provides additional scholarships, making education nearly free for many. Despite the absence of campus recruitment services, the college's low fees make it accessible for middle-class families.

South Calcutta Law College is Superflous!!

South Calcutta Law College is Calcutta University's top law college and yet the fees is just 9800 a year. The Bengal Government provides special scholarship to minorities and girls and therefore most student education is almost free here.

My experience in SCLC

There are various scholarships available such as swami vivekananda scholarship. The fees structure is very reasonable as it is a government college. It can easily be afforded by an average middle class Indian family.

Decent College with good infrastructure and library.

As we consider the fees, it is very low which makes it easy for even economically backward students to avail education. There is no such thing as a fee hike policy. I didn't receive any financial assistance or scholarships as they are provided on the basis of category. There is no placement cell in the college as of now.

What to expect from my College.

The fee structure varies from college to college, Government college fees are comparatively lower, especially at Jogesh and Hazra Law College. Some private college (I am talking about the best one) is a bit higher but affordable.

One of the best Law colleges in West Bengal

The cost of study in one year is around 9600 rupees including 2 semesters. If you are having any kind of reservations such as SC, ST, or OBC then you will be able to get scholarships. And there is no campus recruitment or job placement in Government colleges.
