HPNLU- WHAT & HOW

Likes

The environment, the greenery, regional people are sweet and mind their own business.
The faculty is well knowledgeable, smart and is always upto date.
The non teaching staff is friendly, sweet too. We get along easily.

Dislikes

The administration is somewhat insensitive. There is no student body. Thus, there's a huge gap between what student wants and whether the administration is providing it or not.
Only few cafes and essentials shops nearby. Not much to explore within and near the college. Makes it monotonous. Poor campus life.
Poor mess food. The mess facilities could be improved to a great extent.

Student view on course curriculum

The curriculum is updated each year. Even if the syllabus lacks certain essential reading material, the teachers themselves provide PDFs and relevant reading material for the same. The PDFs for case laws, articles, judgements are provided by law teachers to the students so that they come equipped to the classes. There's always a difference between theory and the real world. You can learn and write the exams but it depends on you how you apply the knowledge practically. According to me, the timings for semester exams is adequate. The exams are not at all difficult. You must pay attention to the teachers in classrooms.

What does student says on internship opportunities

The students are advised to search for internship opportunities on their own. The talented students even become call back interns at Trilegal. Many seniors intern at Trilegal, SAM, Amarchand Mangaldas, Khatin & Khaitan Co, etc. Sometimes the placement and internship cell organize seminars and even forward emails for certain firms to intern at via the cell.

Yearly fees and scholarship provided by the college

The fees for the new batch after the admission of our batch that is 2022-27 has increased and it is increasing with the admission of every new batch. There is an annual increase of Rs. 5000/- in the tution fee in every academic session of every programme. Such increase will equally apply to supernumerary seats. We get separate notices of fees for the old batches starting from 2020. Our batch pays 110250 which is the academic fee, 1st installment. Mess fee is 20484, earlier it was 18000. Total fee payable for completing the admission process is 130734. For both the semester or the entire year, the academic fee would be 220,500 rupees. Dr. Hari Chand, one of the faculty members takes care of the scholarships. Each year, editions of scholarship for UG Students is announced which is called the Eklavya scholarship. For LLM, the annual fee to be paid is Rs.186500. For NRI Student, Rs.750000 and SAARC Candidates (excluding Indians), Rs.350000. The campus development fee is 10000.

Campus Life, library and various Facilities

Due to hostels being situated mainly outside the college, there exist a lot of distance between all the hostels of girls and boys. Thus, the only place to interact is college. This just causes a monotony. Foundation day is held each year in October. On this day, several competitions are organized. The college does not organize much programs. There are no festival. Campus life is poor. Earlier we had a very small library. It was renovated. There a lot of books and we have a vast E-library. Students can seek the help of library staff in accessing E-Resources who are very helpful. There are projectors, e board in various classrooms. Each class has excellent excess to wifi. It's a cool atmosphere here. The students and the faculty are always excited about the sports activities. Sports day, sports competition are organized almost every semester. The college has different committees and centres and clubs on different subjects such as Forensic Sciences, ADR, Cyber Law, Disabilities, Moot.

Hostel facilities provided by the college

Despite the distance these hostels are situated at, the services provided are satisfactory. There's wifi, the rooms are furnished. There's one or two washing machines in each hostel. No need of coolers or anything as fans are more than enough for a place like shimla. Rooms are fully ventilated. There are attendants and guards in each hostel. Regular attendance takes place by the attendant everyday. The breakfast served is really good. The dinner, however is mostly of poor quality but the nearby pantry, dhabas and cafes compensate for it. Snacks are normal too. The food quality can be improved. Registration for the hostel is completed as soon as you pay the academic and the mess fees. The mess fees is necessary to be paid when you're staying on the hostel. If you choose to stay outside the hostel, mess fees is not necessary to pay however hostel fees must be paid whether you live in the hostel or not. Rooms can be opted near the cafes and hostels with reasonable rent.

Student views on the faculty and exams

There are 29 teachers teaching different subjects to different batches. The strength of new batches since 2022-27 is increasing progressively. The faculty to student relationship is good. Students can approach teachers in case of doubts or any issue in the college hours or after the classes ends. Personally, Dr. Chanchal, Santosh sir, Alok sir, Mrityunjay Sir, Navdtiya ma'am teach exceptionally well. They're well aware of the course curriculum and bring practical knowledge to their teaching. Dr.Rohit is best when it comes to make a class really interactive. Mid semesters and End Semesters are held each year. Mid semesters exams are for 25 marks and End Sems for 50. Presentation and Assignment for 25. The exam papers focus on analytical and critical thinking making you think our of the box and bring practical answers. Those found cheating or doing any foul play maybe debard from writing the examinations. It is easy to pass these exams. Syllabus is updated each year.

Admission process of the college

I did not apply to any other college. I got this college based on my rank. I only gave Clat. I chose this because it is what I got. When I was allotted this college via tha allotment system, I chose to get feedback about it. I mostly got positive feedback for HPNLU. However, one of the senior who graduated back in 2022 asked me to choose another college due to the restrictive access this college has. I did not apply to any college as such. As soon as you're alloted HPNLU, you must submit the required fees within the required time as mentioned by the administration in the admission form. You must fill the admission form on the ERP. ERP is a section on HPNLU Website. One must fill all the necessary details asked and these shouldn't be false. These details are to be updated each year to ensure transparency. To get admission into NLUs one must pass Common Law Admission Test. The admission depends on the rank that you've secured.

Ups and Downs of Himachal Pradesh National Law University, Shimla by Mayra Nargotra

Likes

The library is very useful with a lot of resources and e-library that is easily accessible.
The surroundings are beautiful with mountains and nice weather. It helps with focusing on study. The location is attractive.

Dislikes

The locality does not have a lot of shops or facilities there.

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.

HPNLU'S KNOW HOW

Likes

A lot of Moot Competitions , ADR competitions , Debates , Conferences happen . And our college has done well in that.

Dislikes

No Hostels within the campus. There is only one Hostel inside the campus other hostels are far from college.
Administrartion is corrupt. A lot of protests has happened since i joined.
There is no playing ground. We have to travel a lot to play.

Admission:

So , basically one of the main reason why I chose this college was because of the location, it creates an environment in which a student can study easily. Moreover it is the fastest growing NLU and also lots of moot court competition and ADR competition are conducted which gives exposure to students.

HPNLU- WHAT & HOW

Likes

The non teaching staff is friendly, sweet too. We get along easily.

Dislikes

Only few cafes and essentials shops nearby. Not much to explore within and near the college. Makes it monotonous. Poor campus life.
The administration is somewhat insensitive. There is no student body. Thus, there's a huge gap between what student wants and whether the administration is providing it or not.

Himachal Pradesh National Law University, Ghandal, Shimla

Dislikes

University is 22km away from shimla. So don't be mistaken that it's in shimla.

Admission:

University accepts admission only by CLAT. It's cutoff goes upto 2200. However one can get admission at the time of vacancies. Here around 25% is reserved for Himachal Pradesh students. Exams are analytical based and they are hard to pass.

The reality of HPNLU

Likes

The moot court culture has become vibrant and pervasive, this helps in sharpening research and argumentation skills, winning moots and cash prizes is yet another advantage in itself..
Access to other NLUs and being a part of the NLU culture has made me open to more opportunities and a niche legal culture, the NLU tag is worth it when it comes to getting internships and placements.
The campus library is a must visit and a necessity at the same time.

Dislikes

Bad quality healthcare and bad medical facilities.
Geographical limitations and limited facilities. Bad impact of climate change makes this location risky.
No cultural and co-curricular activities, no fests and campus life.

Admission:

The eligibility of the course is to clear the CLAT entrance exam which offers admission to the 23 NLUs. To appear for this exam, one must score minimum 45% for general category and 40% for SC/ST in 12th standard. Hence, National law university , shimla only takes admissions based on CLAT ranking. My clat rank was 1847. And the cut-off is 1300-2800 in general category and 20000 for the reserved categories. HPNLU also offers 25% reservation for Himachal Pradesh Domicile candidates and the cut-off goes upto 8000. The cut-off for the vacant seats may go higher. The application form is available on the official website of HPNLU. The admission process is : Appear for clat exam , participate in the counselling process, as per your preference list , if you get admission in HPNLU, then you will receive an official mail, after that they will assist in admission. The process shall be free of erroes and response mechanism should be adhered. The response mechanism was not good.
