NMIMS, School of Law at a glance

5 years back not many law schools used to provide BBALLB course, even many of the top nlus were also not providing this course. I chose Nmims because of this reason. Along with that the life which Mumbai offers you helps in networking and prepares you for the real world. Nmims law school teaches various sujects of law which help students in exploring and choosing the one for them. The infrastructure aspect can be improved along with the attendance policy. Exam timing for mid sem written exam is 60 min for 3 questions each of 5, 5 and 10 marks and for end sem papers it is 120 mins for 5 questions each of 10 marks.

The college's placement cell has provided internship opportunities in various tier 1 firms like AZB, Khaitan, CAM, Wadia Gandhy, Dhir and Dhir, Tseries etc in different departments of the firm. All these internships are paide and the hoghest stipend went upto 10k for a month. Although 90% students find internships through their own contacts and network.

And the fee sturucture is similar for students of all the catogories, as NMIMS is a private university and its law school (KPMSOL) is a private college. Around 10 Lakhs are required for a 5- year law course. Fees is same for both BBALLB and BALLB. This was the fee structure in 2020. Now its has increased to almost 4 lakh a year.

I gave CLAT in 2020 along with SLAT, MHCET and other private colleges enttrances. Before 2020, all private colleges excluding Symbiosis, gave admissions on the basis of the student's CLAT score. But then Covid came in 2020 and everything shifted to online mode including CLAT. I was a crash course student and did not clear the CLAT cutoff. I applied for Symbiosis Pune and Noida Campus, NMIMS, MIT Pune; these were the colleges which held their own entrance exam that year. Even applied for UPES Dehradhun and Nirma and they were still giving admissions based on the CLAT score. Got confirmed admission in UPES Dehradhun, Symbiosis Noida, Mit Pune and NMIMS Mumbai. I chose NMIMS over over other colleges because of the city adavantage it provides. Though NMIMS does not provide placements like other NLUs but its curriculum and college timings are st accordingly which gives the students ample amout of time to explore, network and go for internships.Also Mumbai have many repluted law firms as compared to cities like Dehradhun and Pune. Noida was chucked because of safety concerns. I was not selected for Symbiosis Pune and before Nirma, NMIMS released its results and I got a seat there. Initially NMIMS use to take students based on their clat score but in 2020 CLAT was getting delayed which led to NMIMS introducing their own entrace exam NLAT. And from then Nmims is following this pattern only. Their entrace exam consisted of an objective type exam of 60 marks. No interview was taken and they declared results within a week. It offers two courses BALLB and BBALLB. Till 2nd year both of courses have different subjects and from 3rd year they have same subjects. The admission process was all online due to covid and we were asked to send documents tike original transfer certifcate and others through post and rest of documents were uploaded online. The fees was paid through RTGS Net Banking then, now they have their own payment gateway for fee payment. ID with biometric scan entry

Nightlife in Bombay is quite safe and happening. There are cafes and coffee houses in 1 km radius of the college. For eg. Theobroma, Starbucks, The Chocolate Heaven, The famous Anand Stall etc. Juhu beach is hardly 5 mins drive away from the college. The area is posh and safe and celebs like Amitabh Bacchan, Shilpa Shetty and Akshay Kumar resides nearby college. Many Gyms are there and college itself provide gym facility to nmims students at a discounted rate of 800 rs. The college does not have its own campus thus although they do have their own hostel but they are very far from the college. One can find pgs and flats nearby college at a very affordable price. Since, the locality is posh it is absolutely safe to roam at night especially for the girls. The juhu police is always round the corner in case of any emergency.
