HPNLU- WHAT & HOW

The curriculum is updated each year. Even if the syllabus lacks certain essential reading material, the teachers themselves provide PDFs and relevant reading material for the same. The PDFs for case laws, articles, judgements are provided by law teachers to the students so that they come equipped to the classes. There's always a difference between theory and the real world. You can learn and write the exams but it depends on you how you apply the knowledge practically. According to me, the timings for semester exams is adequate. The exams are not at all difficult. You must pay attention to the teachers in classrooms.

The students are advised to search for internship opportunities on their own. The talented students even become call back interns at Trilegal. Many seniors intern at Trilegal, SAM, Amarchand Mangaldas, Khatin & Khaitan Co, etc. Sometimes the placement and internship cell organize seminars and even forward emails for certain firms to intern at via the cell.

The fees for the new batch after the admission of our batch that is 2022-27 has increased and it is increasing with the admission of every new batch. There is an annual increase of Rs. 5000/- in the tution fee in every academic session of every programme. Such increase will equally apply to supernumerary seats. We get separate notices of fees for the old batches starting from 2020. Our batch pays 110250 which is the academic fee, 1st installment. Mess fee is 20484, earlier it was 18000. Total fee payable for completing the admission process is 130734. For both the semester or the entire year, the academic fee would be 220,500 rupees. Dr. Hari Chand, one of the faculty members takes care of the scholarships. Each year, editions of scholarship for UG Students is announced which is called the Eklavya scholarship. For LLM, the annual fee to be paid is Rs.186500. For NRI Student, Rs.750000 and SAARC Candidates (excluding Indians), Rs.350000. The campus development fee is 10000.

Due to hostels being situated mainly outside the college, there exist a lot of distance between all the hostels of girls and boys. Thus, the only place to interact is college. This just causes a monotony. Foundation day is held each year in October. On this day, several competitions are organized. The college does not organize much programs. There are no festival. Campus life is poor. Earlier we had a very small library. It was renovated. There a lot of books and we have a vast E-library. Students can seek the help of library staff in accessing E-Resources who are very helpful. There are projectors, e board in various classrooms. Each class has excellent excess to wifi. It's a cool atmosphere here. The students and the faculty are always excited about the sports activities. Sports day, sports competition are organized almost every semester. The college has different committees and centres and clubs on different subjects such as Forensic Sciences, ADR, Cyber Law, Disabilities, Moot.

Despite the distance these hostels are situated at, the services provided are satisfactory. There's wifi, the rooms are furnished. There's one or two washing machines in each hostel. No need of coolers or anything as fans are more than enough for a place like shimla. Rooms are fully ventilated. There are attendants and guards in each hostel. Regular attendance takes place by the attendant everyday. The breakfast served is really good. The dinner, however is mostly of poor quality but the nearby pantry, dhabas and cafes compensate for it. Snacks are normal too. The food quality can be improved. Registration for the hostel is completed as soon as you pay the academic and the mess fees. The mess fees is necessary to be paid when you're staying on the hostel. If you choose to stay outside the hostel, mess fees is not necessary to pay however hostel fees must be paid whether you live in the hostel or not. Rooms can be opted near the cafes and hostels with reasonable rent.

I did not apply to any other college. I got this college based on my rank. I only gave Clat. I chose this because it is what I got. When I was allotted this college via tha allotment system, I chose to get feedback about it. I mostly got positive feedback for HPNLU. However, one of the senior who graduated back in 2022 asked me to choose another college due to the restrictive access this college has. I did not apply to any college as such. As soon as you're alloted HPNLU, you must submit the required fees within the required time as mentioned by the administration in the admission form. You must fill the admission form on the ERP. ERP is a section on HPNLU Website. One must fill all the necessary details asked and these shouldn't be false. These details are to be updated each year to ensure transparency. To get admission into NLUs one must pass Common Law Admission Test. The admission depends on the rank that you've secured.

There are 29 teachers teaching different subjects to different batches. The strength of new batches since 2022-27 is increasing progressively. The faculty to student relationship is good. Students can approach teachers in case of doubts or any issue in the college hours or after the classes ends. Personally, Dr. Chanchal, Santosh sir, Alok sir, Mrityunjay Sir, Navdtiya ma'am teach exceptionally well. They're well aware of the course curriculum and bring practical knowledge to their teaching. Dr.Rohit is best when it comes to make a class really interactive. Mid semesters and End Semesters are held each year. Mid semesters exams are for 25 marks and End Sems for 50. Presentation and Assignment for 25. The exam papers focus on analytical and critical thinking making you think our of the box and bring practical answers. Those found cheating or doing any foul play maybe debard from writing the examinations. It is easy to pass these exams. Syllabus is updated each year.
