Admission: My entry into HNLU began with CLAT counselling, and while document verification took time, the officials were patient and the overall journey to joining was smooth enough.
Academic: Students often find the faculty the best part of the college, and concentrating in class makes one week of study enough for exams even though the university is not punctual and students frequently mold things through protests.
Placement: Based on my experience, the highest placement for the 2020 batch reached about 18 LPA and getting a good job required real hard work since students here achieve success through their own effort.
Campus: Food quality in the mess feels almost like a restaurant, and first-year hostel rooms are spacious while seniors get smaller ones, plus AC classrooms and a utility area help students manage well even though the campus is far from the city.

Admission: Progressing through counselling to joining was smooth once the merit list came out, with helpful staff guiding verification and registration finishing quickly.
Academic: Learning at the college is decent thanks to a well-designed curriculum and faculty that ranges from brilliant to average, with strong internship support enhancing student readiness.
Placement: Actually, getting a good job after law school is tough because competition is high and top firms only hire the best graduates, though every batch has a few brilliant students who get into the country's top law firms with packages going up to 16 LPA.
Campus: Sports infrastructure stands out with grounds for cricket, football, badminton, basketball, tennis, and volleyball, and a utility centre supports daily needs while the two-floor library has an extensive book collection.

Admission: Entry into HNLU felt easy as counselling was well-managed, verification support was strong, and registration and fee dates were clearly communicated.
Academic: Guidance from teachers is helpful since they are qualified and approachable in chambers, offer extra classes, maintain a 50:1 ratio, and teach with unique styles that make the useful curriculum easier to grasp.
Placement: At our institute, the Recruitment Coordination Committee works hard under senior faculty to arrange placement camps and placements have improved since 2015 with 80-90 students now getting offers from firms like Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, Khaitan & Co., Luthra & Luthra, and Bharucha Partners with fresher salaries from 8 to 22 LPA while the ICC helps with internships.
Campus: Students benefit from 24x7 Wi-Fi, on-campus medical support, multiple sports options, a large computer lab, AC classrooms, average-but-manageable mess food, and mostly single hostel rooms.

Admission: HNLU's admission journey from the CLAT merit list to final registration felt streamlined with clear counselling and supportive staff during verification.
Academic: Professors at HNLU are knowledgeable with deep subject understanding, though their teaching style is conventional, and mandatory internships help students apply theory in real settings.
Placement: Truthfully, placements at HNLU are not that great as the college struggles to place everyone and many students don't receive the offers they expect with the average package being around 6 LPA and the highest close to 10 LPA.
Campus: HNLU provides sports grounds for football, cricket, and basketball along with Wi-Fi in hostels and the library, covering most student essentials.

Admission: Getting admission in HNLU was well-managed as the online registration portal was easy to navigate and the counselling process, though a bit long, stayed organised with efficient document verification.
Academic: Some faculty members and the curriculum were not good, as only a few professors put in real effort while many barely covered the syllabus, optional subject choices were poorly structured, and internal assessments felt tiring and repetitive.
Placement: From my experience, placements at our college are quite solid with salary packages going from 10 LPA to 25 LPA and an average of about 15 LPA, though only 30 to 40 out of 180 students were placed as many chose judiciary or litigation while several received PPOs from internships.
Campus: HNLU's campus is large at 65 acres, though a lot of it is unused, and while upkeep of some buildings could improve, the library is excellent with two AC halls and students get single hostel rooms with shared balconies.

Admission: Settlement into HNLU went well as all steps from the merit list to registration were efficient and counselling staff made verification stress-free.
Academic: Hidayatullah National Law University has decent faculty composed mostly of young graduates from reputed NLUs teaching the five-year B.A. LL.B. and one-year LL.M. programs.
Placement: Recently, placements have been good with almost 30 students getting jobs in well-known law firms offering packages from 8 to 14 LPA while the internship coordination committee helps us secure positions at reputed firms.
Campus: HNLU features world-class infrastructure with moot court halls, a vast library, several sports grounds, and construction of one of Chhattisgarh's largest auditoriums underway.

Admission: Experience with HNLU's admission was pleasant as the post-CLAT counselling schedule was followed properly and verification and fee steps were clearly outlined.
Academic: Shortage of teachers leads to some taking five to six classes a day, and while a few are helpful with brilliant teaching, many are not prepared, leaving students to rely on themselves though Chhattisgarh Mantralay hires 13-14 graduates yearly.
Placement: Honestly, not many companies visit for hiring and mostly law firms come while students gain a lot of experience from internships across many good firms, and since law has a wide scope about 50-60% of students choose paths like judiciary instead of corporate roles.
Campus: Amenities provided by the college include separate messes, a gym, canteen, various sports courts, decent classrooms, and a reliable library with Wi-Fi.

Admission: Progress after CLAT results at HNLU felt smoother than expected, with easy choice locking, supportive verification staff, and clearly explained registration steps.
Academic: Main difficulties arise from understaffed conditions where teaching and non-teaching duties mix, practical exposure is minimal, and moot courts or viva sessions fail to offer real professional experience.
Placement: Despite being ranked seventh among NLUs, our college still doesn't get many corporate placements with only a few companies like Panjea3 visiting and the annual packages offered being quite low.
Campus: Overall amenities include Wi-Fi in specific buildings, a capable medical setup with weekly doctor visits and an ambulance, a strong library, decent meals, and multiple sports facilities.

Admission: Admission at HNLU went quite smoothly, starting from the CLAT counselling rounds where communication was clear and document verification was efficient with cooperative staff.
Academic: Faculty members in our college are experienced and dedicated to providing quality education, with some encouraging students toward legal research, moot courts, seminars, and workshops, though poor teaching by a few leaves many unprepared despite comprehensive exams.
Placement: Many big companies come to our college for placements as firms like AZB and Partners, ICICI Bank, Wadia Handy, S&R Associate, Induslaw, and Khaitan recruit from here, and around 78 students from our course got placed with salary packages ranging from 3.5 LPA to 12 LPA.
Campus: Campus life here feels great because the place is huge, with a big cricket ground and a lakeside area to relax, and facilities range from a good library to modern labs, moot courts, hostels, gyms, and AC classrooms.

Admission: Processing admission for HNLU felt streamlined because counselling dates and merit updates were timely, verification was quick, and supportive staff helped during registration.
Academic: Most teachers serve as assistant or associate professors, coordinate politely with students, maintain interactive classes, require 75% attendance, and LL.M. students complete three trimesters with heavy library work.
Placement: For LL.M. students, internships are not required because they submit a research report using both practical and theoretical work, and mostly UG students get placed though smart PG students also find roles as law officers, researchers, or in litigation across banks, corporate firms, PSUs, and other companies even if I don't know exact salaries.
Campus: Hostel life is compulsory and offers double rooms by default with an option for single rooms, and mess food is decent with four meals a day, while the academic block resembles the Parliament and sports facilities are plenty.
