NUJS from an Noojies Perspective

The course structure at NUJS is tough but fair. Every semester there are six subjects to be evaluated. Certain legal papers are tough considering their complexity, however, they are aptly balanced by papers of Social Sciences such as Sociology and Political science which are interesting to understand. Beyond that, every subject also has research projects, class presentations or mid semester exams apart from a dedicated end semester exam.

There is a dedicated RPC, which is student elected that approaches law chambers and firms for internships. Beyond that, the stipends of such internships vary from 5000 to 20000. Further, the students can always independently approach any organisation for internships.

NUJS boasts near 100% placements, there is a dedicated Campus Recruitment Committee which has elected student members as well as a Faculty Co-ordinator. Some students get PPOs and therefore they do not sit for Day Zero. Tier 1 and Tier 2 law firms as well as Mncs hire with packages ranging around 14-20 lpa.

There is Aditya Birla scholarship for the top performing candidates, apart from that, NUJS has a merit cum means scholarship as well as various State government aided scholarships, particularly for women. The average annual cost of the University, including food and accommodation is around 3lakhs per year. There are no campus employment opportunities as such, until the 5th year of the course, where students can become teaching assistants subject to eligibility.

A lot of activities happen, there is INVICTA, OUTLAWED, as well as moot, debate and ADR internals. Beyond this there are regular seminars conferences and lectures of notable luminaries including SC and HC Judges.

The accommodation is not good, there are separate boys' and girls' hostels. First years are allocated to flats shared among 8 members, second year onwards there are double-sharing rooms and seniors can even get single rooms. There is no air conditioning in rooms, however, the mess is airconditioned. The mess is run by a student-run mess committee in collaboration with the admin.

Admission is through CLAT, there is reservations for SC, ST WB Domicile, OBC, NRI Sponsored, J&K, PWD, as well as Foreign Nationals. The expected cutoffs go around AIR 190-AIR 280 for Unreserved. CLAT Is done once a year and has no upper limit for UG Course.

The Student-Faculty ratio is around 50:1, and the faculties, at least the associate professors have multiple publications and research projects under their belts. Some have been practising advocates and corporate lawyers before joining the academia. The teaching method being employed varies, from case law analysis to discussions, research and real-world applications.
