What Students Say
Likes
- For a good GGSIPU college for law, I think the college is overall okay.
- Most of the law faculties I've studied with are good. Some professors are young and their teaching methods are more fun and some are more experienced.
- The amount of seminars are good that are held by the college.
Dislikes
- The Campus. There is just an 8 story building in the name of campus with a small cafeteria.
- Students face problems with AC. As director is reluctant to turn on AC's during summers and suggests to turn on the AC's of half of the classrooms and switch students between AC and NON AC classes on weekley basis though we all have paid for AC class
- The amount of fests and various fun days which are usually organized by colleges are not here in the college. As the college do not have any ground or campus it makes it difficult to organize any fest in the college.
Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum is fine. The theoretical part of the curriculum is like any other 5-year law program curriculum which includes all the major laws and acts in the curriculum with BA subjects in the first 3 years. The college has tried to include things like various visits to courts, Jails, Police stations, Parliament and other places to provide practical knowledge to students. As a college situated in a location like Delhi, the college is trying to take advantage of the fact to teach students practical aspects of the law program. These visits are a part of the recently revised curriculum and are very beneficial for the students.
Placement Experience
The college provides good placement for BBA and MBA programs. But if we talk about the Law program, there are no such good placements that are provided by the college. Though in papers there are companies and law firms which come to the college hardly any students get those placements or students prefer to go for out-of-college placements as they are better than the ones provided by the college. Students who are really serious about the program and skills are doing fine by finding internships and placements on their own.
Fees and Financial Aid
For the first year, the fees for BALLB 5 year law program was around 1.5 lakhs which included the one time payment fees. For the rest of the years the fees is around 1.3 lakhs per year. As of scholarship the college does provides with the scholarship program which includes scholarships based on EWS category. In the brochure it is also mentioned that the student can avail scholarship on the basis of Merit, Sports quota etc. though none of the students I know of has availed any so can't say anything about the practical aspects of the scholarship program.
Campus Life
The overall experience with campus life is somewhat below average as the college does not have any such campus. It is just an 8-story building whose lift hardly works and is not sufficient according to the students and teachers that are in the college. The no. of fests is limited to 2 big annual fests by the college which is zenith organized by the college and the second is more academic fest which is JUSTITIA held in the month of November which is a law fest and has law competitions. Another fest is organized by the University, that is ANOOGUNG held in the month of February and is arranged in the University compound. All three fests are good but these are the only fests organized by the college. The library is good and has a comfortable environment and has most of the necessary academic books needed. Sports is a fairly active club with semester-wise events and a good no. of participation. There are several active clubs in the college dance, singing, NSS, acting, sports, courtroom society etc
Admission
Other than GGSIPU as any other law student, I took CLAT and initially applied to all the NLUs from which I got rejected in the general rounds because of my low CLAT rank. I applied to GGSIPU's top 5 law colleges out of which I got the fourth law college with the program I wanted to pursue. I also got selected in UPSE Dehradun but I didn't go for it because of the very high fee structure of the college. The same was the case with other known colleges. I was also planning to get admission in some college in my city gurugram itself but preferred Gitarattan because it is affiliated with GGSIPU and is located in Delhi which can be beneficial for any law student
Faculty
The law faculty is overall between fine to good. Most of the professors are well-versed in their subjects. The law faculty I like the most is Mrs. Sakshi, ma'am. She's our Family Law professor. She's an experienced faculty and her teaching style is so understanbale other than her our economics and political teachers are some of the best faculties. The exams are kind of hectic this year. We have class tests daily for every unit. We had two class test weeks for the 3rd semester. Then semester-end exams are held in college which are average in difficulty level and then University exams. Though students fail in university exams, in my opinion, it's not because they are difficult but because of less preparation from the student's side. The class tests are kind of difficult but they ultimately prepare you for the University exams so no complaints.
