What Students Say
Likes
- The campus is absolutely wonderful, massive variety of people, the diversity helps showcase various cultures well.
- In general, I would say that the classrooms are well equipped, central block where the classes are for law school is jam packed with vending machines and fun spots.
- The library is one of the best libraries I've ever seen.
Dislikes
- The faculty can be extremely rude and disrespectful, not sure how it is in other places but this is how it is here.
- The timings make it seem a lot like your usual school timings.
- The dress code can be quite strict and the security and even the students and the faculty have a very elitist, Holier than thou attitude to them
Course Curriculum Overview
I always wanted to be a Lawyer since 8th grade as I knew I was quite good at debating and writing, the curriculum definitely prepares you well for the real world, but most of your legal learning is done during moots and internships, the teachers can inculcate better means to teach, example being introduce more technology as that is the way of the future, the exams and assignments can be frequent with one main one each month and the teachers assigning more otherwise and they can be quite tough but I think that's more to attribute with the course in general.
Internships Opportunities
Most internships are unpaid, you usually get paid around the 4th or 5th year, companies such as Trilegal, SAM, CAM, Luthra and Luthra, KSK and such are great to intern at. Interning generally just means going and watching the proceedings and helping your seniors with their cases and research and such.
Placement Experience
The placements are good, students can sit from final year, some get placed in 4th year itself. Companies and Firms such as Trilegal, SAM and CAM come and offer great packages varying from 8 Lakh LPA to 26 Lakh LPA, average is usually 13-15 Lakh LPA, after this degree I would like to do my MBA from UOT or NUS
Fees and Financial Aid
The year wise fees is 2.5 Lakh's, I didn't have to pay any extra cause I wasn't an OCI or an NRI. My friends that fall under this category have to pay 2.75 Lakhs and 3 Lakhs. Scholarships are there but you should write a test for it. I didn't have any scholarship. Overall this college offers a more affordable course than most other colleges, eg. Jindal Global Law School.
Campus Life
Very happening campus life, lots of major clubs and competitions, the library is top notch with nearly every book you can think of. Various football, cricket and basketball grounds are present, the SWO, CSA and such help in outreach too.
Admission
I got a confirmed admission from JGLS but I didn't take it due to the extremely expensive fee structure. I chose Christ cause it's the second best law school in Bangalore after NLSIU, Christ is also definitely one of the top 3 law schools in the country (Private). They have their own entrance called the Christ University Law Entrance Examination (CULEE), after that there is an entrance and micro presentation. Eligibility is any curriculum such as CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE, IB. Cutoff is 65% if I'm not wrong
Faculty
The faculty is very diverse, this means that some are very approachable, some aren't, it's a mixed bag. Love Vidya ma'am, Stalin sir and Philos sir, wonderful teachers. I don't outright dislike any faculty but I wish some of them would teach in a bit more student friendly manner. The exams can be quite tough, many times materials and the topics aren't properly provided which can make it even harder.
