Meghna Mishra's Review On Symbiosis Law School Hyderabad - [SLS], Hyderabad

SLSH is one of the leading educational institutions which provides a stellar program for law students. With the state of the art infrastructure and a promising cultural life for students, there is very little to complain about. Cocooned in the lush fields of Telengana, the campus is built away from the city, thereby providing serenity and peace. Alongside this, the constant workshops, training programmes and impressive visiting faculty make SLSH the best choice for a law student.

The curriculum provided in the college is pretty standard and in sync with other law schools in the country. The program heavily focuses on research and research papers are a common form of assessment. Frequent assessments also mean that students regularly go through the syllabus. In addition to written tests, we have moot courts, debates, videos etc as form of assessments making the program challenging. Most of the faculty are on top of their game. As part of the curriculum, students have to do a legal internship after completion of every semester. This provides the students with exposure and an insight into the real legal world. This is an excellent practice and has helped students gain an edge.

I have successfully completed 3 internships as part of the college requirement1. CRY Mumbai, Volunteer Action2. Lenin Mohanty & Associates, Legal Intern3. Verus Advocates, Legal InternThe college has a Training and Placement Cell. The students have to fill out a form in order for the Cell to provide them with internships.

The first batch of the college graduated in 2019. For its first year, the college did an impressive job of placing almost all students. Law firms like Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas had come for the recruitment drive. Students were placed in the legal departments of Bajaj Allianz and Oyo Rooms.

The campus life is something most students enjoy. Since the campus houses UG Law students and PG MBA students, there is a constant array of fests and other events. SLSH's annual collegiate fest is SYMINARET. It is a culmination of festivities and celebration. Almost the entire college participates in organizing the fest. The fest sees colleges from the entire country come as participants. Apart from this, the college has around 30 areas of specializations or student run clubs such as the Legal Aid Centre, Alternative Dispute Resolution Society, Moot Court Association, Cultural Cell etc.

The campus boasts of free wi-fi, a spacious library, a large moot court, several courts for sports among various other facilities. A gym along with personal trainers is also present in the campus. There is a small shopping complex with shops selling basic necessities and snacks. SLSH has one of the biggest auditoriums in the state.

SLSH is a completely residential campus. There are 4 hostels in total. Two hostels for girls and two for the boys. Three students are allotted one room. However, the rooms are spacious and airy. There is a balcony for every two rooms which the two rooms share. Each room has an attached washroom which has hot water 24/7. Each hostel has a warden and a clutter of guards. The opposite gender cant enter into each other's hostels. The curfew for entering the hostels is 12.00 AM and the curfew for entering the campus gates is 10.00 PM
