Life at South Kolkata law college

The positive thing is the college has good academics but there is no placement cell. This is a very big problem in today's competitive world and the student's union is attached to a political party so sometimes problems appear in the college

The students who want to do law can enroll in the BALLB program instead of doing the only LLB. As a law student, you have to know most of the laws so in these 5 years you will get to know about various laws. Every semester there is 3 law papers and 2 BA papers. For honours, you have 2 extra law papers that come after the sixth semester. Every year 2 semester exams are conducted where each subject has 80 marks. 20 marks are given on the basis of college internals. So in total, there are 10 semesters.

The only bad thing about this college is they don't have a placement cell nor they do provide internships. The students have to find one on their own. But our alumni is very good so if someone is in touch with any alumni then he can surely get a job or an internship but there is no placement cell

There are various events which are celebrated in our college. Almost all the religious and national events are celebrated like Saraswati puja, ID, Independence day, republic day, Vivekananda Jayanti, etc. Festivals of every religion are given equal importance.

Fees are quite reasonable. Every year we just need to pay 5000. So that makes only 45000 for 5 years. As it is a government college, it also gives concessions and scholarships to the students who are not financially sound.

As it's a government college scholarship is provided to students who are not financially sound. An income statement is taken from such students before giving the scholarship. Also, a railway concession is given to students who are not well off and who come in local trains to the college.

We have one library which is very good. As it's a very old college, one can find books which you can't find anywhere in the world. College also has a Moot Court and a common room where some gym equipments are there and one carrom board and one table tennis board is there. The college has a book store which has all the books which are required for the curriculum

The seniors are very helpful. They guide us about studies and also about internships. As there is a student's union which is mostly controlled by seniors, they also try to maintain a peaceful environment. There is no alumni network but a lot of judges and great lawyers have passed out from our college. So maybe because of the name of the college one can get a chance to work with them

The faculty is very good. They are very informative and faculty are usually present so you can't expect free periods. They are well equipped with all the current changes in the legal system. There are some permanent professors along with visiting professors from different colleges.
