Remarks

The admission was based on the college entrance exam (XLAT). I applied for the application just after my boards ended and I was preparing for the exams which is based on a particular pattern since its a professional law course for 5 years. The eligibility of the course is Class 12 boards marks plus Xlat exam. The application form, fees, dates are available in the university website. The admission process should be a bit more flexible and should be taken offline. I gave the exam online and I had to sit in one place for 3 hours.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I chose this course because its a BA plus LLB professional course which I believe will help me to decipher my interests in legal fields along wth others. The faculty members are available and we have more than 1 faculty in every subject. Every section has 50plus students in the Law school. The faculty members are highly qualified, most of them hold a PHD degree in their calibre. The exams are taken timely after every 6 months, twice in a year. The exams are quite tough to pass and questions are application-based. The pass percentage is 100% till now.

Class Size: 65Course Fees: INR 60000 per year

Internships Opportunities

2.5

It's just my second year in college so I haven't done too many internships. In 2021 I along with some of my friends did an online internship provided by the college for students who couldn't avail an advocate/ NGO for internship. There was no stipend, but it gave us a bit of experience of how practical works are done. I did it with an advocate working under Calcutta High Court.

Placement Experience

2.5

We are the batch of our 5-year BALLB course, thus no batch has passed out yet and didn't receive placements. The average package for our course is unknown, but the other departments get an average around 4lakh pa. placements. The top recruiting companies of our placement cell includes SVF, Axis Bank, Godrej, Dabur, Berger etc. 100 percent students of our batch got placed in summer internships last year, in various law firms and individual advocates. The top roles includes legal consultants, litigation, judiciary and legal firm associates.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees are quite high since ita a private and reputed institute. My course fees per semester are 60000. The university has recently started a scholarship policy from the 2022 sessions. There are 5-6 scholarship policies for the financial assistance of students. I haven't been availed of any scholarship since it was unavailable when I took admission.

Campus Life

The annual fest is named XAVRANG which takes place on the campus. It takes place usually in winters. There are 2 libraries on the campus and there is a huge availability of books for every academic field. Books, Journals, Magazines, etc of recent editions are stuffed in the libraries. The classroom is huge, spacious, and air-conditioned with audio-visual technology. The university has several societies. For social outreach, we have Xaverians in action, cultural society, sports society, photography society, literature society, legal aid clinic, etc.

My honest experience at college.

Likes

The fees structure was affordable compared to many other colleges
Various extra curricular activities, cultural events, and competition were organized through out the year

Dislikes

Communication regarding important updates and procedures was sometimes unclear
Administrative processes were often very time consuming, and students had to wait a long time for approvals and documentation

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum was relevant and covered the fundamental concepts, but it could benefit from more practical learning and industry exposure. Exams were conducted regularly, and the difficulty level was moderate.

The faculty really impressed me. They are dedicated to their work and are really friendly
The campus looks preety good. Not a lavish infrastructure but more than enough
The best thing after the faculty is in my perspective the fests of TIU. Its too much fun to be a part of it

Dislikes

As a BBA LLB Student our campus is different that makes a point of disliking
In my course frequent exams are very necessary this is something I dislike but I think it's very important for my curriculum
There is not much ragging culture in our college but sometimes you may have some bad indirections with the seniors but its fully on your hands how to act and how to form a friendly group of yours

Course Curriculum Overview:

As I am a student of BBA LLB. Tab management subjects makes a mess for me there are 7 subjects in management which I think doesn't have any applications in the real world and its like I heavy load to us in our curriculum but in speaking of the law subjects there are hard subjects but frequency in the timings of the classes make it very easy and allows us to perform well in the exams

The teachers and principal were extremely helpful amd insightful
The library and the e-library were well equipped
The moot court discussion were well rehearsed

Dislikes

It is a Small college; no campus as such
The students are very much into politics

Course Curriculum Overview:

I was always intrested in societal issues and how to deal with the social demons and that why i choose law as my course subjects The course teaches you the tmrules towards the course of society. It teachers us every nooks and cracks of the society and how to deal with them The course will teach you the bookish values and is completely oblivious towards the real life outside the books the practical is different when it comes to working in courts. There are internships but until you enter into the world of law and practice on your own you won't get a grasp of any understanding One year ending exams with 2 practical papers and the difficulty level depends on the depth of the student

SNU - A bizzare

Likes

Taking admission in this university was hassle-free as all the administrative staff were really very polite and provided the best assistance on their part
They claimed to have impressive internships and placements for the students.
The infrastructure, campus amenities and learning facilities are just average. They need to work alot on every aspect of their development.

Dislikes

I didn't like the kind of faculty they have hired, they cannot speak proper English, they don't dress formally and behave so uncultured and informal. They are mean and non- assisting towards the students.
Moreover, the professors they fail to cover the syllabus and prefer quantity based answer over quality. They provide pathetic mentorship and doesn't help the students to improve their credentials for the future pursuits.
They compel the students to witness counterproductive seminars and sessions. They need to meditate on the kind of guests they are calling to conduct their events, the guest should be worthwhile listening.listening

Course Curriculum Overview:

Law opens the door to several job prospects and my dream as a child to be a part of the judiciary has influenced me to choose the course. The curriculum prepares definitely prepares me for higher legal studies and have a strong foundation in legal knowledge. SNU needs to improve the quality of faculty they have and there's a long way to improvement. End semester exams are held over a period of every 4-5 months, they conduct MSA in between each semester. The set the papers really tough.

Hazra Law College: Overall structure and ambience of the college. I didn't expect it to be this good since the Google reviews suggested otherwise.
Faculty: The faculty is fantastic. Professors are understanding and very professional. They're good when it comes to thie respective subjects.

Dislikes

Office: It is best to try to avoid the office because of the unreasonable amount of time taken to resolve queries/obtaining signatures is frustrating

Course Curriculum Overview:

Law as a course has developed throughout the years and there are only a few shortcomings in the studying aspect of it. Law, in a broad sense, can be applied to almost each and every problems that citizens of India face, be it corporate law, criminal, civil law. In an even broader sense, there is Constitutional law. A major fault in the teaching and course is the excessive teaching of landmark judgements and lesser number of moot courts which in practice might land young lawyers in trouble coming from the judiciary since they're just too much aware of different landmark judgements but not the cases/context behind it. Mainly, four exams are held which concern the actual marks- Internals and Externals. First internal and external is typically held on January or February and Second internal and external during July or August.

St. Xavier's College (Autonomous), Kolkata , a dream come true.

St. Xavier's college (Autonomous) , Kolkata, has always been if not the best, then one of the best colleges of Eastern India, with an NIRF ranking of 6 in 2024, so all of this is for a reason, and the reason is the balance of discipline and fun at the same time which makes this college a stand-out. The admission process is not that hard, you just have to go to the admissions section of the college's website, and fill out the admission form of the course you want to apply for , however for courses the BMS, you have to also give an entrance test, otherwise mostly admission is given on the basis of the marks you obtained in Class 12th. The cutoff is usually 92-93% for courses like B.Com etc. So this is the only place which is considered difficult during the admission process....Read More
