Course Curriculum Overview

4

The course deals with all aspects of law. It is a five-years integrated course. The syllabus is upto date. Real world application of the syllabus is massive as it prepares us to become lawyers. But the frequency of exam timings is a problem here. We are told that we get 6 months for preparation but in reality, we give exam in just 5 or 4 months gap. I think this is the only con that should be changed.

Fees and Financial Aid

Tuition fees in Department of Law, Calcutta University is the lowest possible fees available all around the world. The total course fee is around 10k. It does not have any hidden charges as it is a government college. You can avail number of scholarships.

Campus Life

5

Campus life in the department is really enjoyable. There are many festivals are held all around the year. The Library is well equipped and students can easily access journals, books, research paper. Student run social group like ADR, debating society, journal and seminar committee etc are also top notch and they help in connecting people.

Admission

You have to pass 12th with 45% marks from West Bengal board, icse or cbse or any equivalent. You also have to sit in entrance exam called Calcutta University Law Entrance Test. It is not a very tough exam but can be very competitive. If you are general you have to rank within 100 to get admission in the department which ranks 1st amongst all the other colleges under CU. There are also 14 other colleges under CU where you can take admission through this CULET.

Faculty

5

The faculty in department of Law is very well versed in their respective subject and they know what they are doing. They take both online and offline classes to complete their syllabus and are easily accessible by the students. Their friendly nature is the most attractive thing about them. They also guide students who want to sit in competitive exams. There are many full time and part time professors in the college. So, the faculty to student ratio maybe around 1:30

Placement Experience:

Number of students who have been placed is far less than what it should be ideally. Kolkata is a paradise for law practice as it is the largest city of India and lawyers have always been in demand here. Still only 30% of the students are placed here and that's a big issue considering the name of our college.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The main thing that I love about the curriculum is that we need to study in depth. Our syllabus contains most basic to really professional level stuff which really help us prepare for real life experiences and further academic pursuits. The only change i would like is more practical experiences that would be helpful.
