DME review- 5th year BBA LLB student

Our curriculum was not as updated as it is now, ours was being followed since 2014. We had to study most complex subjects in a span of 4 months simultaneously. Like IEA and CrPC were introduced to us in the second semester of the third year. Many students didn't pass these subjects. Main cause behind this is also the faculty turnover rate during that year. We had studied this subject from 3 different professors in 4 months. The college should consider alloting the crucial subjects to trusted and experienced faculty.

Independent lawyers, Litigation firms, Corporate firms, Advocates on Record. During the recent times, the college has also started offering externships, where the students go to work with lawyers after the college in afternoon. The stipend is usually decided among the employer and intern, and ranges between 5-15k per month. The one month internships in litigation are unpaid. Recent employers are- Deloitte, HCL tech, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, Loch Corporate, and various reputable litigation firms.

Students are given internship opportunities right from the first year. As I'm already on the verge of graduating in the next two months, I've seen the faculty and management put more attention to the Training and Placement Cell. Big companies like Deloitte, HCL and Austrian Migration Lawyers like Loch Corporate have taken interns from the law school at DME. This being said, I have high hopes from the Placements as well. I plan on working in the corporate and later this year appearing in Clat PG for the masters.

The fees for the first year was higher as compared to the following 4 years. The fees for the first year was about 90,000; and for the next four years it ranged between 70,000 to 80,000. Scholarship is provided for the students of 1st-4th year on the merit basis. The top 3 rankers get scholarship of 100%, 50% and 25% on their tuition fees. The gold medalist gets about 35,000 followed by 18,000 and 9,000 for the silver and gold medalists. The fees has definitely gone up since I've gotten the admission. Now it ranges between 1-1.5 lacs.

There are two fests, one during Diwali and the annual fest (Aloha) in the beginning lf the year which is open for all the students from all three disciplines- law, management and media. Then school specific events- Law fest (Jus Cosmos) for Law school, involving moot court competition, client counselling, etc. The college has a plethora of cells and societies in which the students take active part. Faculties in class have been satisfactory. We have our portals on Digicampus, very accessible.

I had appeared in Clat and Ailet, and had filled the form for IPU. Unfortunately my rank was not good to be able to go to an NLU. It all had come down to IPU as I hadn't applied to any of the private universities as well. I had to choose among the colleges of IPU. DME turned out to be nearest to my home. I also knew a school senior who used to go here and a family friend. These two assured me and gave good reviews of the college. I, hence, ended up keeping DME as my first priority in the list. Overall admission experience was smooth and Ms. Rimsi Sood was aiding and helping us throughout. I also had an online interview of about 45 mins with the Director, DME (online due to covid)

The class size is of 60 students, however the strength present is an average of 40, so at a time one faculty deals with about 30-40 students. Faculty is approachable and available in times of need. We were the last batch(2021-26) with the following schedule- 5 subjects in each sem, a 30 marker internal examination for all the subjects after 2 months of Semester. Professional Skills Development Activity (PSDA) involving a written assignment and it's presentation for 25 marks during the following two months. These together make up for the 25% of the total 100 for each subject. Then at the end of the 4 months, one comprehensive viva of 100 marks for all the subjects together, followed by the end semester exams for 75 marks each. The subjects needed to be updated. Eg New criminal laws had already been enforced when we were studying CrPC. The batch just after ours has a more detailed, structured and quite comprehensive syllabus.

I had an interview round of 45 mins with the Director of the college. It was the first ever interview I appeared in, which meant a great deal. Sir started asking me the usual anticipated questions like why did I choose law and what plans do aichave for the future, what do I see myself doing in the next 5-10 years. He then started asking me questions from my 11-12th class, I had commerce in school. During the last leg of the interview, we talked about my hobbies and interests out of academics. The whole interaction was smooth and I didn't face any difficulty during the admission.

The college doesn't have a hostel in the campus. It's a small campus and the students that come from outside Delhi or places far away stay in the PGs nearby or the hostel provided by college which is not quite near to the college from what I've heard. The college is situated in an area where offical spaces and several others places are so local hangout spots and street food lanes are available.
