Admission: The teachers at our college are really smart and know a lot. They work hard to teach us well. But we still need more professors and assistant professors who are experts in their subjects.

Placement: In the past three years, the job placements at our college were okay. Usually, around 40% of students found jobs, but only 20% got them through campus interviews. The rest found jobs by doing internships or knowing people. More students are now going for further studies or exams, so fewer students are getting jobs.

Campus: The college's facilities are pretty good. They keep improving every year, especially with the infrastructure. Lately, they added AC classrooms, a gym, a fancy dorm, a cool canteen, and a useful utility center. Plus, they have fast internet and a modern library. It's all set up nicely for students here.

Admission: The teachers at our college really know their stuff and they care about teaching us well. They push us to get involved in legal research, moot court competitions, and other activities. The classes cover important stuff, but some teachers don't explain things very well. The exams are tough, so we have to study hard to do well.

Placement: Our college has great job placements! I'm glad to share that 78 students from our course got hired. The highest salary offered is 12 LPA and the lowest is 3.5 LPA. Some of the top companies that come for recruitment are AZB and Partners, ICICI Bank, Wadia Handy, S&R Associate, Induslaw, Khaitan, and more.

Campus: Our college has awesome facilities that help us with our studies and fun activities. There's a cool library, computer labs, sports stuff, hostels, gyms, and a cafeteria. We also have useful places like a shop for stuff we need, a fruit shop, a coffee place, and a medical center. The classrooms have AC and projectors. Our campus is big with a cricket ground, a nice view by the lake, and lots of spots to chill with friends.

Admission: I think some teachers at our college are really good at teaching. They know their stuff. But some teachers are not so great. There aren't enough teachers at our college, so some have to take too many classes. Overall, the college doesn't prepare us well for different careers. We have to figure things out on our own. After graduating, Chhattisgarh Mantralay takes in about 13-14 students every year for a one-year temporary basis.

Placement: Not a lot of companies come for placements, mostly just law firms. But students still get good experience from internships at various law firms. This field covers things like judiciary. About half of the students choose law instead of corporate jobs.

Campus: I really like how our college is set up. They have a separate mess for guys and girls, which is cool. And there's a canteen and gym here too. The college has different courts for different sports, so you can play anything you want. It's a bummer that they don't have a swimming pool, though. The classrooms and library are nice, and the library even has Wi-Fi, which is super handy.

Admission: The teachers at the college are knowledgeable, but they could improve on explaining things clearly. Sometimes, it gets confusing because of this. We often have to rely on Google to understand the concepts better.

Placement: The college has good placement opportunities. On average, students get around 6-7 LPA. The highest package last year was around 13 LPA. Not all students get placed, but if you do well, you can get some decent offers.

Campus: The college doesn't have fancy facilities like private law colleges in India, but it has everything you need. The campus doesn't have Wi-Fi everywhere and the water filter often has problems. But the library is big and roomy.

Admission: The teachers here are really helpful and always ready to help us with any questions. They stick around after classes and even come in on Saturdays when we're off. A lot of them live on campus, so they're around a lot. We get to do moot court exercises, which are super helpful for real-life stuff. Plus, we get internship breaks after each semester to get some hands-on experience in courts or firms. It's a great way to learn!

Placement: The placements for my batch in 2012 were great! Some of my friends even got jobs at top firms like Amarchand Mangaldas and AZB. Day zero happened two years ago, but not this year. We were hoping for more placements this time, but it didn't happen. Some students did get jobs in good companies, but mostly through PPOs or other ways, not through regular placements.

Campus: The campus has good facilities with 2 academic blocks, smart classes, library, IT lab, language lab, cricket, basketball, and football grounds. Each hostel has 4 buildings for boys and girls. The library has separate reading rooms, there's an IT lab, language lab, cricket field, football ground, tennis court, gyms, recreational common room, guest house, utility centre, cafeteria, and canteens in both hostels. Lots of things to enjoy here!

Admission: The teachers at Hidaytullah National Law University are pretty good. They're mostly young and graduated from top law schools. The courses here are 5-year B.A. LL.B. and 1-year LL.M. I studied B.A. with a focus on Political Science.

Placement: The placements are really good. Around 30 students got placed in well-known law firms with salary packages ranging from 8 to 14 LPA. They have a committee that helps students get internships in these firms. It's a great opportunity to gain experience.

Campus: The campus is huge, covering 55 acres of land. It has awesome facilities like a library and moot court halls. They're even building the biggest Auditorium in Chhattisgarh. HNLU has sports stuff too, like tennis, football, basketball, volleyball, and cricket.

Admission: The teachers at this college know their stuff and have been teaching for a long time. They teach in a traditional way. The course covers everything we need to know and we also do internships to see how it all works in real life.

Placement: The placements at HNLU are decent. If you do well in your studies, you can get good job offers. But if your grades aren't great, you might have to work harder to find a placement. However, most students end up getting placed. The average salary is around 6-7 LPA, which is pretty good.

Campus: The college has everything students need. The campus is big with a football ground, cricket field, and a chill-out area. Our library is huge, and the Cafeteria is always clean.

Admission: I really like how the course is set up. It's almost as good as the top law schools in the country. The college has been really helpful during my internships. The teachers are all qualified, but some are better than others. Some are okay, some are not great, and some are really awesome. The learning atmosphere at the college is pretty good overall.

Placement: Getting hired at top law firms can be tough due to the competitive nature of the students and the high demand from law firms. But there are a few lucky students who land great jobs with big salaries, like up to 16 LPA. It's not easy, but it's definitely possible for some students to kickstart their careers with a bang!

Campus: The college campus is awesome, covering 65 acres with a bunch of cool stuff like gym, badminton, basketball, volleyball, football, cricket, and tennis. They've got a utility centre for all your basic needs. The library is huge, spread across 2 floors, with tons of books on every law topic you can think of.

Admission: The teachers and courses were a mixed bag. Some teachers really tried to help you learn, but many just did the bare minimum. The optional subjects and course schedules were not ideal. The curriculum didn't seem to help us much. The way they assessed us was exhausting and repetitive.

Placement: Our college has had good placement records before and after Covid. The salary package ranged from 10 to 25 LPA, with an average of 15 LPA. I'd rate it 4 stars because only 30 to 40 out of 180 students got placed. But it's not all bad. Some students went for judiciary and litigation, getting secure PPOs from internships.

Campus: The campus at HNLU is getting better, but it still has some issues. The hostels and academic buildings aren't in great shape. HNLU actually has the biggest campus out of all the NLUs, but a lot of it is unused. Despite that, the overall infrastructure is decent. The library is awesome, with a great book collection and nice reading halls. The classrooms are bright and air-conditioned, but a bit small for 60 students. In the hostel, you get a small room with shared balconies for all five years, which is rare in NLUs. The room is cozy enough though. The washrooms in the hostel could be better, but it's mostly because of how students use them, not the staff. The mess hall is really good, with AC and lots of space. Overall, the hygiene is well taken care of.

Admission: The teachers here aren't that great. Some of them don't have much experience and struggle with teaching methods. They also have trouble with English. But the student-teacher ratio is okay. The curriculum could use some improvement.

Placement: The job opportunities with the government are great, especially at the ministry. However, corporate placements aren't as strong. One senior landed a 14 Lakh package at ICICI bank, which is impressive. Lots of students got placed at RRG and associates in New Delhi. Many top law firms came to campus for recruitment. Quite a few students are now working at government ministries. On average, packages range from 8 to 10 lakhs.

Campus: The campus is pretty good. The library is awesome for studying. The classrooms are spacious and comfy. They have cool sports facilities like tennis, basketball, and badminton courts. Wi-Fi is available in the hostels and library. The food in the mess could be better though.
