What Students Say

Likes

Attendance policy - There is no 75% mandatory attendance policy like it is in other colleges.
Early morning classes start at 7:00 to 10:00. It gives us time to focus on internships and practical knowledge.

Dislikes

There is too much politics which I don’t like.

Course Curriculum Overview

I wanted to become a lawyer and specialise in the field of finance. The teacher-student ratio is pretty bad as there are 250 students in one batch and barely 10-15 teachers. The teaching faculty is pretty qualified as many of them are PhD holders but sadly not many of them are good teachers. The method of teaching is very old and, moreover very theoretical which makes it difficult for the students to be ready for the current job market. Exams are held twice a year, semester and they are pretty easy to pass. Questions generally are repeated every year.

Class Size: 250Course Fees: INR 7500 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

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.

Campus Life

3.5

An annual fest named Atharva is held every year in the college. There is no fixed month. Also, students actively take part in festivals organised by other colleges. The college library is pretty rich in terms of books. There are a lot of books available and you can avail them anytime. The classroom is updated with modern technologies. There are specific sports teams in college. The most prominent ones are cricket and football. Students actively take part in other indoor and outdoor games as well. There are a few societies organised by students for their overall development which includes debate society, and moot court society among others.

Admission

We had to take an entrance test. The eligible person has to score a minimum 55% in 12th to take the test. The forms are available on the official Website of CU. The forms are uploaded generally in the the month of June and exams are held in the same month. After COVID-19, since 2020, they have started taking admission on the basis of 12th board results. I am not in favour of this decision as 12th boards can't decide the merit of a student. An entrance test gives a ray of hope to those who didn't score good marks in boards.

My honest experience at college.

Likes

The fees structure was affordable compared to many other colleges
Various extra curricular activities, cultural events, and competition were organized through out the year

Dislikes

Communication regarding important updates and procedures was sometimes unclear
Administrative processes were often very time consuming, and students had to wait a long time for approvals and documentation

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum was relevant and covered the fundamental concepts, but it could benefit from more practical learning and industry exposure. Exams were conducted regularly, and the difficulty level was moderate.

Handbook to carry in TIU

Likes

The faculty really impressed me. They are dedicated to their work and are really friendly
The campus looks preety good. Not a lavish infrastructure but more than enough
The best thing after the faculty is in my perspective the fests of TIU. Its too much fun to be a part of it

Dislikes

As a BBA LLB Student our campus is different that makes a point of disliking
In my course frequent exams are very necessary this is something I dislike but I think it's very important for my curriculum
There is not much ragging culture in our college but sometimes you may have some bad indirections with the seniors but its fully on your hands how to act and how to form a friendly group of yours

Course Curriculum Overview:

As I am a student of BBA LLB. Tab management subjects makes a mess for me there are 7 subjects in management which I think doesn't have any applications in the real world and its like I heavy load to us in our curriculum but in speaking of the law subjects there are hard subjects but frequency in the timings of the classes make it very easy and allows us to perform well in the exams

Jalpaiguri Law College- a small review

Likes

The teachers and principal were extremely helpful amd insightful
The library and the e-library were well equipped
The moot court discussion were well rehearsed

Dislikes

It is a Small college; no campus as such
The students are very much into politics

Course Curriculum Overview:

I was always intrested in societal issues and how to deal with the social demons and that why i choose law as my course subjects The course teaches you the tmrules towards the course of society. It teachers us every nooks and cracks of the society and how to deal with them The course will teach you the bookish values and is completely oblivious towards the real life outside the books the practical is different when it comes to working in courts. There are internships but until you enter into the world of law and practice on your own you won't get a grasp of any understanding One year ending exams with 2 practical papers and the difficulty level depends on the depth of the student

SNU - A bizzare

Likes

Taking admission in this university was hassle-free as all the administrative staff were really very polite and provided the best assistance on their part
They claimed to have impressive internships and placements for the students.
The infrastructure, campus amenities and learning facilities are just average. They need to work alot on every aspect of their development.

Dislikes

I didn't like the kind of faculty they have hired, they cannot speak proper English, they don't dress formally and behave so uncultured and informal. They are mean and non- assisting towards the students.
Moreover, the professors they fail to cover the syllabus and prefer quantity based answer over quality. They provide pathetic mentorship and doesn't help the students to improve their credentials for the future pursuits.
They compel the students to witness counterproductive seminars and sessions. They need to meditate on the kind of guests they are calling to conduct their events, the guest should be worthwhile listening.listening

Course Curriculum Overview:

Law opens the door to several job prospects and my dream as a child to be a part of the judiciary has influenced me to choose the course. The curriculum prepares definitely prepares me for higher legal studies and have a strong foundation in legal knowledge. SNU needs to improve the quality of faculty they have and there's a long way to improvement. End semester exams are held over a period of every 4-5 months, they conduct MSA in between each semester. The set the papers really tough.

Department of Law - The Best Law College In West Bengal

Likes

Hazra Law College: Overall structure and ambience of the college. I didn't expect it to be this good since the Google reviews suggested otherwise.
Faculty: The faculty is fantastic. Professors are understanding and very professional. They're good when it comes to thie respective subjects.

Dislikes

Office: It is best to try to avoid the office because of the unreasonable amount of time taken to resolve queries/obtaining signatures is frustrating

Course Curriculum Overview:

Law as a course has developed throughout the years and there are only a few shortcomings in the studying aspect of it. Law, in a broad sense, can be applied to almost each and every problems that citizens of India face, be it corporate law, criminal, civil law. In an even broader sense, there is Constitutional law. A major fault in the teaching and course is the excessive teaching of landmark judgements and lesser number of moot courts which in practice might land young lawyers in trouble coming from the judiciary since they're just too much aware of different landmark judgements but not the cases/context behind it. Mainly, four exams are held which concern the actual marks- Internals and Externals. First internal and external is typically held on January or February and Second internal and external during July or August.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I always wanted to pursue law so I chose this course. Government college provides the best faculty and my college takes regular students to attend various seminars in WBNUJS or any such seminar Our College have LLM-completed teachers, some are PHD holder as well. The exam happens every six months. It's easy to pass only if you study properly but CU check copies strictly, it's hard to get more than 90.
