School of legal studies, CUSAT

I chose this course because of the quality of education provided here which much better compared to other law colleges. The university provides the students with a lot of opportunities and competitions and does not restrict the students from participation of any. The University ground is very big and the sports facilities is very good. The campus is green and beautiful with a lot of area to walk and hang out. The university hostel is very cheap with moderate facilities.The university has a library which is equipped with vast number of books and is also one among the best in India.The faculty are very good and experienced. But a class consists of 68 students and the ratio is bad. The faculty are either having PG or PHD, some are even doing research. The teaching method is good as the students themselves read and grasp knowledge and does a good discussion in the class.The exams are conducted timely and not that difficult to pass. But scoring good grades is not that easy compared to other law colleges.

I did an internship in Bank of Baroda and also did under a High Court lawyer.A lot of internship opportunities will be available and doing such internships will benefit very much in your academics and knowledge about the subject especially in the practical aspect.

The placement for our law College is inactive but since the reputation is very good it is easier to get appointed in firms. Other courses offered here are getting very good placements in good companies.

The campus life is splendid. Since it is University with a lot of departments there are many fests during February and March. The celebrations will be there for this whole time.The library is one among the best in India with a vast variety of books. There is unlimited wifi for students in the library and an air conditioned students lounge for studying which open till 10 pm.The University ground is very big and nice. The sports facilities and opportunities are too good. There is also a students Gym which is not that good but very cheap.There are a lot of students organisations, groups and clubs which are very active and doing a marvelous jobs.

There two semesters per year and the fees will be Rupees 26000 each. This low compared to the national law colleges with the same reputation. There are no other extra cost for education other than this.Students from financial backward category are provided with E grants.

The hostels are very cheap and comes with moderate facilities. But all students will not given the allotment because of the few numbers compared to the huge number of students. But there are lot of private hostels and rooms which are good nearby the campus.The food mess is run by the students committee and so the food is very good.

The group discussion will be of a topic which is generally of current importance and may be also about recent issues. The personal interview tests the students knowledge, confidence and way of speaking. I did prepare for this and performed quite well.But this group discussion and interview is stopped from this year and students are admitted purely on the marks obtained in the entrance examination.
