What Students Say
Likes
- Social life I rate 4 out of 5. We do celebrate festivals together, organise center based events, lectures, prom nights,DJ nights. So it's a balance of fun and academic events Seniors are helpful. There's no any sort of isolation or discrimination.
- It's inclusive campus of all gender and we do support each other. Placement cell is active but maj tries to get their own PPOs. We get big firms in our campus but the ratio is still upgrading.
- Whatever infrastructure we are rn with are of top notch. The hostels and academic buildings are very well infra wise. The curriculum is flexible as per the need and helps us in the professional field In real.
Dislikes
- I don't like some of the faculties and their mindset of awarding marks. They are by theirind bound to give 3/5 in the best answers. So that average goes down.
- We need more infrastructure because a lot of space is vacant. We have the plan but should be executed soon.
- Location is a disadvantage because distant from the maintown but the connectivity is good and we have places nearby to visit. Be it for essentials or luxury
Course Curriculum Overview
The amount of research papers we write, the law and non law subjects we are taught which are still connected to law (like sociology- crime, society; psychology- mind, thoughts; economics- society), the activities and internship gaps. All these made me choose this course. The areas for improvement I would say is more focus on drafting aspects rather than analysis. Because reading bare acts directly indirectly teaches us the same but drafting needs a separate attention from the very sem 1. The exams do occur on fixed timings. It's all very strictly maintained. June and December is fixed for mid sems and end sems. L
Internships Opportunities
After every semester we have one month of internship breaks. So 10 internships in total. We can get them by our own sources or applications and our college also helps us in providing the same. People do intern in district courts, high courts and supreme courts. They also intern under firms like Khaitan, CAM, SAM ,MSA etc. Some do not get stipeds like in initial years like first and second but some do get the same of even 10k. So it's subjective to the place you are interning at.
Placement Experience
People starts getting Pre-Placemt offers from their last semesters. College do provide the placements to those who apply but in the earlier years maj used to go for Judiciary,UPSC or higher studies. So limited used to apply so limited company interaction we had. But from the latest few years in back our college provides a good amount of placement and many companies are coming here. It's evolving daily. Meanwhile many opt their own search for jobs via internships in firms. We have seniors placed in Khaitan, CAM, SAM, MSA.etc. Even seniors are opting higher studies in foreign countries. So overall it's the hardwork of the student and help of the college. The NLU tag in itself opens atleast one door. The learnings.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fees structure is divided into hostel fees as 19k yearly and 55k tuition fees per sem+ wifi 1500+ and other fees all together as 2 lakh 28 thousand. Yes we do have reservations but not in fees. All have to pay the same fees. But people do get scholarships like the academic, backward category, economically weaker sections and other sort of scholarships. Because it's a NLU so the prices are comparatively high than the central universities but the infrastructure and curriculum and other facilities do justify it. There is +,- difference in the fees of other nlu also. It comes amongst the moderate ones. Like the cheapest NLU is RMNLU Lucknow with only 1.95 fees and the costliest is NLSIU Bangalore

Hostel Facilities
I would consider it as one of the bestest hostels amongst a lot many colleges. Single rooms from 2nd year with attached balconies. The perfect space and ventilation and the aesthetics and cleanliness. It's bestt Meal is okayish. Like some days nice some days uhh. But yes overall 3 out of 5. It is registered on the day of documents verification while taking admission. Localated inside the campus only.
Admission
I was very clear that I have to go to a NLU anyday over anything . There are good private universities but the name that a NLU has is unmatched. Even the internship and placement opportunities these days are preferring NLU grads. Moving to central Universities. No doubt they are good as well but the work culture and exposure which I can get into a NLU is unmatched. The kindoff compulsion of internships, Moot court exercises and discipline of the course is something which a NLU only can fulfill. It's meant for Law!!!
Faculty
We have good number of faculties but more are needed. Not that anything gets hamper but for the betterment. Almost all the faculties are approachable and helping but some runs their entire semester as per their mood swings. Their marking criteria is totally based on their mood and have the habit of not awarding more marks even I'm perfect answers. For the best answers you are bound to get just 3 out of 5. We have 2 major exams per sem. Mid terms and finals. Mid terms is of 20 marks and finals 50. Rest we are awarded on basis of viva,case analysis,Research papers,Presentation etc. for 30 marks. The difficulty level is from moderate to high side. The course curriculum is very relevant as per me as it teaches us for the real life we will face outside in this profession (*saying based on internship experiences). Research work, drafting, theories, case analysis, presentations all helps In overall development.
Night Life
Fav hangout spot for all is Nescafe and Power House chowk. And the evening roads and random benches where it's soft breeze and silence and pretty skies. We can easily roam till 11:00 pm in our campus and then back to hostels. Till that time no restriction to go anywhere within the campus. It's very a society kinda experience where we see a lot people talking, doing their work, eating, walking and playing in campus. Gym and library for their fans.
