University law college experience!

To get into University Law College, Gauhati University , one needs to sit for the entrance examination, applications for which open up generally in the month of may/june, the exam is conducted after month or so and classes start from around August/September. The entrance examination is of 100 marks, and one needs to bear in mind that there's negative marking for wrong answers which is usually -0.5 per wrong answers. The exam is in written format and one needs to answer in OMR sheets. The syllabus for the examination is general English, general knowledge, logical reasoning, quantitative reasoning, etc. Practicing from airforce non technical exam question banks proves to be enough for this. But its better if one checks the syllabus in the guwahati University website. There are generally 500-600 applicant and 60 seats are available. 27 out of these 60 seats are unreserved and the rest 33 are for reserved category. Application fees is around 3000 and admission fees is 19525

Faculty is great and most professors are PhD holders and if not than atleast they all have completed their M.Phil. All of the faculty is quite regular and great in terms of imparting knowledge. Most faculty members have attained there education qualifications from renowned and top most universities of the country and so there is no doubt about there knowledge.

Most local firms and Companies hire students from our college as its a renowned college in the state/region. They are paid quite well and are they get established for the future too. Other than that most of our passout senior practice litigation in the Gauhati High court.

Placements are fine. And firms to visit but most passouts go for further studies or private litigation. Generally firms visit and hire students from 9th semester. I plan to go for private litigation after getting my degree too. But those looking for placements will find the placement cell very helpful.

The college has been very helpful to get students their scholarships from various schemes like ishan uday, and other minority scholarships. Apart from this most seniors have got their paid internships in local law firms and quite good stipends. Semester fees is around 20000 which is quite affordable in comparison to the facilities we are provided in the college.

Campus life is great. Seniors and other staffs are very friendly. College fests generally happen in the winter. The college library is quite good and has more than enough of books available. Apart from the college library, the university library (KK Handique Library) has a very large collection of books and journals available for students. There are many social groups / clubs in the college and the university which organise there functions time to time
