Girish Kalla's Review On Jaipur National University - [JNU], Jaipur

The University has its own examination procedure for in-take of students. Apart from this it also considers CLAT score as an criterion. The reason for selecting this university was Prof. V.S. Mani, you can read about him on his wiki page. Sadly, he has passed away this year.

The curriculum is one of the finest as it is being prepared by Prof. V.S. Mani (an international law scholar). Given his reputation he know the nuances of the subject well and has accordingly crafted a course that covers a wide array of law subjects along with specific topics to be taught each semester.

No our college doesn't have a robust placement cell when it comes to law school. I really cannot comment on other courses offered by the University. Though we have a good placement track for Hotel Management Students and Engineering Students.

Our university needs to work a lot on the placement cell of the law school. There has to be a placement cell which is dedicated towards internship and job opportunities for the law students. Majority of the students have got themselves a job either through PPO or through by applying on their own.

It's at par with all other premium law schools in the country except for law schools like Jindal. During my law school years the fee started with Rs.55,000/- then it increased every year with Rs.10,000/- and the final year the fee being Rs.95,000/-. This is only tuition fee. The fee for transportation and hostel was separate. For a 2 to hostel the charges were Rs.40,000/- for a year that would also include food.

Gender ratio is well maintained. There are no issues in terms of one's ethnicity or religious beliefs. Even we have students coming from abroad for pursuing courses here. We organise one of the happening events in Jaipur which goes by the name of Technorazz that covers a wide variety of competitions from robotics to fashion shows to DJ.

I didn't like it much during my days but I hear it has improved. And also the fact being that I only stayed in hostel for 4-5 months. There are three messes we have in each campus. Friday we used to get special food. Non-vegeterians would get chicken and vegetarians would get paneer. Ice cream for all. Plus there were 3-4 water coolers on all floors.

Exams were chilled out. No issues as to its conduct or schedule. After the exams there was ample time for one to go back and rest. There were gaps between exams so as to allow the students to prepare well. We used to have twice the written examinations, one of 20 marks and another being of 60 marks.

As I said there is an entrance examination conducted separately conducted by the University. The session generally starts in August and examination is conducted around June or July. The form can be downloaded online and the entire process can be completed through online mode. One can also choose to visit the campus to do the same.

The faculty is good but we need more experienced and full-time faculties. This along with placement cell needs to be worked upon. We had some good faculties in the past but they moved to other law schools for better pay or some other reason. The university has to really address this issue for betterment of the students. It has to shell out money at times to retain good talent.
