What Students Say
Likes
- greenery is pretty good, if you dont attend a class or are a hosteler and you need to clear your mind, you can walk around in the trees and feel good
- food is not bad, theres flies or hair in the food sometimes, its common but not normal, its manageable. Canteen food is great. But they sell expensive stuff
- some faculty for the arts subjects are good and some for law subjects, the older faculty tend to be a bit rigid and don't get down to a students level of understanding, rather prove that they're better than us.
Dislikes
- Faculty, see above for brief input of what the faculty is like
- mandatory attendence of 75% and attendence having 5 marks. This is unfair considering how all humans are different and different people have things that they deal with other than merely college. They never help for internships and unfair grading
- Turbulent and constantly changing exam systems make it hard for students to predict and study accordingly. Law being a 5 year degree with B.A, should be taught with more specification without beating around the bush.
Course Curriculum Overview
the courses and teaching methods are okay, i wish they didn't drag classes till the last minute and take extra classes to rush and complete the syllabus. The teaching methods are heavily memory based, that is, what you listen in class is the base of all questions in exams. So if you lack focus in class, dont write notes, have bad memory, or miss classes, you are at loss of GPA
Fees and Financial Aid
Anyone who gets 80% above in their 12th boards gets a 10000 fee consession and 20000 for 90% in 12th boards. I got above 80 so mine is 2lpa but 24,000 per semester for transport as well. There is no partial payment option.
Campus Life
Campus life if you're a hosteler is great and far better than just travelling to college everyday. It saves a minimum of 4 hours of your day if you are a hosteler instead of dayscholar as a local. Books and journals are properly available and library is open long enough for people to study for exams. The law school library is good, the business school has rigid and irrational rules. Borrowing time is 1 week. Classes are digitally powered, PPTs used to teach and most teachers send them to the class group after the lecture and before exams so studying is convenient. Mics used for proper audibleness. Class has 2-3 air conditioners. There are alot of festivals and social events. There are 2 fests a year and more for halloween, diwali, christmas, dusshera etc. There's also course related events like Moot Court, Client Counselling for law school and other events for tech, business as well. months: March-April, August, September-October, November, December Clubs in the Law school are many: Environment, Legal aid, Cultural, Literature, Photography, Music, (Moot Court, Alternate dispute resolution- academic clubs) Debate society 2 classes every Wednesday alloted for club activities. Clubs are active and always going on. There are also centres of excellence holding conferences. Gender studies, Maritime law, Criminal law, Intellectual property, Cyber law, Womens safety, etc. Awareness programmes also happen once in a while. There is a student database to access marks, attendence, announcements etc. Inter college MUNS, Sports tournaments also happen once a year.
Admission
Applied to symbiosis and other colleges like mahindra. Got into both of them but didn't go due to heavy fee and no detail about the quality of teaching and examination, and future opportunities after studying there. I knew a few people who studied Law here and they have a good understanding of what to look for in a college so I assumed this would be a safe decision (but not the best decision, I suggest you write CLAT again instead of settling for colleges of this sort) In this college the admission process is to write ILSAT which has English, General Knowlede, Quantitative analysis, Legal reasoning and logical reasoning. Pretty basic test, just what you write in any aptitude test, basic mathematics and surface level knowledge of law, and ofcourse, General Knowledge (with current affairs) The exam and interview are just for namesake and almost everyone gets in. Also, you have to have passed your 10, 11 & 12th grades. The interview consists of basic questions like Gk, your background, if you're a first gen lawyer, if your siblings are in the same college, etc. Theres negative marking in the test of 0.25 marks per wrong question. Theres a 10 day orientation after joining which gives you a proper introduction to the exam, fee, etc structure and all the basic things one would need to know after entering college. A full day is dedicated to hostel rules and regulations.
Faculty
faculty-student relationship is subjective because some people prefer strict faculty, while the others prefer friendly, easy-to-approach faculty and by strict I mean the faculty that do not excuse irresponsibility and inculcate accountability into the students. Uptight teachers also exist by which, I mean by that is they just restrict and confine and block out all the creative thinking which just hinders the growth of the students and does not help with learning and is counterproductive
Night Life
Calm nightlife but also active. It is not like a sleepy town. It's lively, people go to the cafes around the city like Kakas, Cafes in Narsingi, etc Gate curfew, 9pm, Hostel curfew at 10pm. Gym is there but not well maintained, Cafe and library, as mentioned are good enough but not upto the price paid Locality is safe but it is advised to not be off-guard. Safe enough for Girls.
