HPNLU Shimla Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

Students usually become eligible for placements in the second semester of their final year. I am currently unaware of the companies that have visited Himachal Pradesh National Law University. U am also unaware of the current packages offered to students but to my knowledge, students with a CGPA higher than 7.5 are preferred by the company. Placement percentage is low. My plan after the degree include being employed at law firm, preferably in Shimla itseld

The placements are not that good as of now because it is still a new NLU. But after 3-5 year's this thing would also improve as more and more companies would come to the University for placement. My plan after the degree is to join a law firm.

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.

generally from 5th year which is also the last year students become eligible for campus placement. package on average go to 15 Lpa some students also get packages of 25 lpa . Generally in law field students opt out to be a judge or going for higher studies so students taking placements are very low .

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.

The curriculum of University is good. It is evolving every year. This time University has included history and psychology in it, making it more helpful. During the span of 5 years, we learn around 45 subjects.

The placements are not very lucrative only tier 3 law firms offer placements at HPNLU, companies such as SVS attorneys, optimus legal , SNG & partners , SNS legal , Mandala Law offices etc. No. of placements offered was around 10 in 2023. The highest package offered was INR 18LPA by Singh and Associates. The percentage of students getting placed every year by the univerity is very minimal ; 15% and average placement is offered t 5-8 LPA, But most students get placed by companies out of the campus and in their personal capacity. Out of campus placement is pretty high around; 55%.I plan to prepare and appear for judiciary examinations. I also would prefer working in corporate and law firms. As I explore further the path may begin to clear up more.

I chose the course because of my passion for law and social sciences. The faculty to student ratio has significantly improved now. The teaching method varies from faculty to faculty but all of them are learned and make their best efforts to give you knowledge. There are two term exams- mid sems and end sems. There is one assignment with viva for each subject per semester. The papers are mostly practical and enhance one's knowledge in text and practice.

College:A. It is an NLUB. The location. It is lovely to be there. The room the university as well as my hostel window is breathtaking.C. The professors. D. Lots of opportunitiesCourse: A. Really into law (which is my major) and economics (which is my minor)B. 5 year degree instead of 6 as it is an integrated course

I wanted to pursue law from an NLU. I choose bballb because i did not want to take ba llb. Besides I want to do corporate law which for which BBA is more apt. Ballb do not provide much basic knowledge of the business at it is more of a liberal art subject.
