Considering TNNLU?

The curriculum of this university is specifically tailored to cater to the future needs of the students as there are extensive reading materials provided for each course. After the third year, you have clinical courses from which you can choose. I find this aspect very useful because, if you have picked out a career path, this might just be a value addition to you! As for the exams, there are two exams per semester a mid-semester examination for 20 marks, and an end-semester examination for 30 marks. Rest of the 50 marks are divided into research projects, class presentations, and reports.

There is an Internship and placements cell working at the college headed by a faculty member, who takes care of the facilitation of internship opportunities. There are no assured placements, but a mere bringing in of pre-placement offers which are exclusive to the university.

The total fee for the 5-year course is 9,95,000. For the first year, the fee is 2,23,000 including all the one-time payments. After that, the fee is 1,93,000 per year inclusive of the hostel fee and service charges. Currently, there is no hike policy for the tuition fee and it has been the same since I joined in 2021. As for the scholarships along with the mandatory scholarships such as first-generation graduate and government scholarships, there is a TNNLU financial assistance scheme which is provided from the end of the administration. There is a call for applications at the beginning of the academic year which will be communicated to the students via email.

This university has a vivid social life, and we keep celebrating. All the fests are student-funded, we even have dance and music nights. There are lots of student-run clubs such as music club, dance club, art club, theatre club, the moot court committee, the ADRC committee, and many more. The classrooms are air-conditioned and spacious. The library has lakhs of books, and it will be open until 12am in the morning.

As for the university, it is a compulsory residential campus. The hostels are spacious and the maximum number of people per room is 3. We have washing machines which can be used throughout the day. There are separate hostels for men and women, along with guest accommodation for the parents to stay at. The hostels get very hot in summer though, but an air cooler is allowed. The food is very normal, the south Indian cuisine is great, we will have both options for every meal. Tea, milk and coffee will be provided three times a day, and in the nights during exams. .

All admissions to this university are done on the basis of the Common Law Admission Test. Through the website, one can register for the examination by paying 5000 as admission fee. Upon the release of the results, based on the score university releases 5 rounds of counseling sheets along with the selected candidates. The cut-off is 60 -70 in CLAT. To be honest, the admission process takes quite a lot of time (1 month at least). But, once the admission is confirmed at the University, you will be asked to pay 20K as an admission fee which will be lessened from the fee and the whole process is guided.

Every faculty is an LLM graduate and most of them have their PhDs also. The pedagogy that they follow is to tweak the interests of the students and enable them to do an extensive reading which equips the students with the ability to grasp things more. The maximum strength per section is 60, and currently now in my class, we are 40 members together. The professors are very patient and make sure that every student is on the same page with them. They are more than happy to clear doubts in the classroom or personally at the cabin as per the comfort of the students.
