Course Curriculum Overview

4

The curriculum is really relevant to the modern day and is really connect to the course. With subjects like english, history, political science, economics, sociology, psychology and other law subjects its a perfect combination to study real world. My personal preference for humanities related courses influenced my decision. The curriculum includes assignments presentation group projects that teaches various skills setting us ready for real world skills. No such improvements are needs everything is really good. Exams are mid semesters and end semesters with assignments and presentations in between. The difficulty level is medium.

Internships Opportunities

2

The internships are usually from advocate chambers and are located outside Himachal Pradesh. No big or fancy internships are offered as such. Students have to usually get one on their own. Although on the positive side placement cell is working hard to provide good for its students.

Placement Experience

2

College does provide placement however not up to the mark. The placement cell is working hard to provide the best for its students, rest the NLU tag really matters and fetches students work if not from the campus but independently as well. I personally have no plans to go for a placement and so do several others at HPNLU they are focused on judiciary or other government exams.

Fees and Financial Aid

Yearly fees at HPNLU is around Rs.298000 for first year where semester fee is Rs.81000. The fee is same across all categories including SC, ST or management. The fee shall increase by 5% every year. Admission fee annually is around Rs.6750, Tuition fee annually is around 162000. Campus development fee is around 13500 same goes for examination fee annually. Library and moot court fee is 6750. Meritorious students with family's annual income below Rs.600000 are given scholarship on merit cum means basis.

Campus Life

4

There are various clubs like rotaract club, youth red cross, NCC, different cells and centers that make the campus life really enjoyable. They help in enhancing your skills and confidence. The campus has a sports room with Table tennis, chess, carom board, badminton net, basketball court, football, cricket to play. We celebrate National sports day and University foundation day. The classrooms have smart boards, mic facilities, computer lab, library are available. The library has various resources and we also have an e-library with several national international subscriptions. Hostels and campus has wifi connections.

Hostel Facilities

3

The room has a bed with bed box, an almirah, table and chair it is nice and clean. Meals provided are okay-ish and homey. Menu is fixed and does not have any rotations. Although only 1 hostel is in campus for 1st year girls and LLM girls rested are off campus and has bus by University for transportation. Hostel costs Rs. 33000 annually and mess is Rs. 150 per day to be paid every semester.

Admission

I was selected in Amity University Jaipur but because of my personal preference for a government college i dropped the plan to be at amity and joined HPNLU instead. The admission process of HPNLU is via CLAT exam, where you must get rank below 3,500 however it has several vacancies and reservations.

Faculty

4

Faculty is really good and are very approachable. All the teachers are amazing and use practical real life examples, group discussions, to explain concepts. There are mid semester and end semester as well as assignments and presentation. The exams are medium level. Exams are very relevant to the course and really help.

Night Life

4

The locality does not have any places to hangout however we can be at library till 8pm and the hostel curfew is 9 or 9:30pm which helps students to unwind after hectic days, we can sit on campus benches or take a walk connecting with the beautiful nature in Himachal. There is a in campus cafeteria and a canteen. Gym facilities are also available. The locality is safe but can have slight danger of wild animals.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The university provides the UG students with the choice of streams consisting of BA.LL.B, B.B.A.LL.B of 5 years and for PG students: Ph.D and LL.M. B.A.LL.B (Hon.s) is an integrated course of Bachelors of Arts and Law. It is a comprehensive and an edge-providing approach if one wishes to register themselves in examinations like judiciary and public services as the subjects and their core matter are similar to what one shall prepare during their study hours for the same such as Political Science, Sociology, History, Psychology etc. The political science classes are a unique aspect of HPNLU as these shall have you at the edge of your seat throughout, while bombarding you with information from various perspectives. You shall learn and have a lot of fun in his class, both in academics as well as life. The curriculum sits fine as it is for first years, however extra-curricular activities during the lectures should be encouraged and workshops or additional classes for guidance shall be taken to soothe the brainstorming and unsettles minds of the first years, however this applies to all colleges. The examination is mostly conducted on alternative dates therefore students easily prepare accordingly, the difficulty level except for a few subjects is on the easier side.
