Remarks
The admission process is governed by the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) conducted by the consortium of NLUs. Eligibility- no age limit, minimum 45% in 10+2 (General, OBC) and 40% (SC, ST) The application form is available on consortiumofnlus.ac.in and applications usually open at the beginning of the year while the exam takes place sometime around May. It contains 5 sections- GK, legal aptitude, logic, English, and elementary mathematics. The score determines your rank and thereby the university (NLU) you shall be allotted.
Course Curriculum Overview
I chose the course because of my passion for law and social sciences. The faculty to student ratio has significantly improved now. The teaching method varies from faculty to faculty but all of them are learned and make their best efforts to give you knowledge. There are two term exams- mid sems and end sems. There is one assignment with viva for each subject per semester. The papers are mostly practical and enhance one's knowledge in text and practice.
Internships Opportunities
The internships offered by the university have started only recently but the offers that have come have come from good law firms etc. Most students find internships on their own and the projects vary depending on the nature of their internship (litigation, corporate etc.) Internships are largely unpaid.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fees are high and some charges seem to be far fetched since those facilities have not been made available, especially during covid. State scholarships can be availed by students if the state they hail from offers scholarships. On campus jobs/placements are not there yet.
Campus Life
There are little to no facilities for extracurricular, especially in terms of fests etc. The extracurricular culture especially in moot courts is very good and students have won several laurels. Sports facilities are bare minimum with only a TT table and a football field 10km away from campus. There are research centres and committees working on different things such as debating, ADR etc.
Hostel Facilities
Hostels are currently under construction on campus but they do look promising with better facilities than the ones the university has currently rented. Food has improved. Hostels are compulsory and are alloted at the time of admission
