What Students Say
Likes
- The campus is located in a beautiful corner of the Hazra Road, reminiscing the past with glorious minds of eminent leaders. The campus is vibrant with many students at their pursuit of studies and academic activities.
- There are both lift and stairs to facilitate commute of people.
- The library room is one of the best and very well-stocked with different essential law books.
Dislikes
- The regularity of class by students and teachers are currently low and can be improved.
- There is no placement cell which administers the placement of final year students. Students with their own efforts and network get placed in big firms or MNCs.
- The hostel facilities are only given to persons residing above 60 kms, so it can be reduced to atleast 40 to 50 kms to make it convenient for people travelling a long way from home to avail the classes.
Course Curriculum Overview
The exams are organised to test the candidate's knowledge as well as legal acumen. Considering the real world applications, some new syllabi can be added to enhance the perspectives like ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution), Cyber Security law, and others.
Internships Opportunities
The internships are usually given by college seniors, if contacted. There are many big law firms, or companies in various legal domains (like, corporate, civil, medical, technological, constitutional, etc.) wherever the students find their interests in. The internships can be short-term (between 1-2 months) or long-term (6 months+). The semester exams are flexible with the internships, which the students can give by taking off-time from their internships.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fee is one of the lowest, around 1550 per year. In addition, the examination fee is 250/—per semester, which adds up to 2000 per year. The library fee is 1000/- which is payable only at the time of admission. The hostel fee is 2000 per year, including 1500/- as the charges for food each month. Besides, there are scholarships for students who could not afford the fee, like the Swami Vivekananda merit cum means scholarship (12000/- per year), Oasis Scholarship (8300/- per year) and for OBC (13000/- per year)
Campus Life
There are many activities beyond the legal sphere, in terms of social clubs like debate, seminar club, writing or magazine club, cultural club & sports clubs. All clubs are formally constituted by the students and administration, and the students can get them associated in any of the clubs of their choice.
Admission
It was my only target to crack the exam CULET-UG-2020 and get myself admitted in this college. Hence, there was no other better choice for me at that time. The cutoff is difficult with about 120 students each year. So, in general, one has to rank between the top hundred students to get admission in this college.
Faculty
Being one of the top law colleges, it has also one of the brightest faculty members. However, it has a low ratio of permanent faculty members, and there a more in number of visiting faculty members. The level of exams are moderately tough. The questions are usually repeated but most of the time in a more complexed and nuanced manner. Students are usually able to clear the exams, however if someone gets backlogs, they can clear it by the next semesters.
Interview Experience
The admission is solely based on the CULET-UG entrance exam. The most expected rank to get admission in this college is between 1 and 300 for general category students and 300 and 500 for SC/ST/OBC category students. However, it can change every year depending on the intake and competition level in the exam.
Night Life
Being a day college, the college usually shuts by 5 pm. However, the public area of the college is usually nice and busy. The famous places to visit nearby in recess time is the Birla Mandir, Tram Cafe, Quest Mall, etc.
Other Applied Colleges

I eventually did not opt for this course, as I was able to crack my target exam CULET-UG and got the chance to get admission in one of the greatest law colleges in India.
