DBRANLU - The good and the bad.

Our course curriculum for 2024 batch was not so great and even compulsory subjects notified by the BCI were left out from the same till our final year. We had to study 7 subjects in the 5th year of our degree which took focus away from other important activities like internships, moots, research papers.

There are zero campus employment opportunities and 5000-6000 fee for the same every year inclusive of the training. There's no training for the students as well. When the same was complained about, the administration denied to take any responsibility of the same. It was two to three times that scholarship forms were out but there has been no enactment upon them. Although, third party scholarships like from any organisation, state scholarships are entertained. Fee is about 2,20,000.

There are no annual and technical festivals, books are available as per the mood of the faculty, there is an okayish availability of e-library. 2-3 classes have smart boards and there's a dearth of extracurricular activities, although sports is better than that. There's a good number of groups, clubs and societies for students to participate in.

Hostel facilities are one thing that is bove average in the campus. The meal is not so good. Hostel is about 30000 per semester and additional 20000 for AC. The students have to mandatorily option for hostels so there's no point of rented rooms of PGs nearby. Rooms have a bed, a chair, a table and an almirah which are all great. Room also has a beautiful balcony. Although the elevator and water cooler maintenance can be worked upon along with shooing away all the birds that are fellow-boarders in the washrooms.

The admission is through the Common Law Aptitude Test. There's reservation for SCs, STs, OBCs, Domicile, EWS and the like. The exams are held 2 times per semester, mid terms and the end terms and their difficulty level is medium to difficult. Admission is done in about 4 counselling sessions as per the cut off notified after the CLAT.

It is only recently that 2-3 good teachers have been appointed in the university. Earlier, the same teacher was teaching 3-4 subjects and they were not even permanent. As for the ratio, I'll not say it's apt since the teachers are very less in number and each batch has about 120 students. Teaching an mentorship was only appreciable for 1-2 teachers and the rest were just there to draw salaries. The Dean of Academic Affairs was a self absorbed man who didn't cater to students' needs.
