What Students Say

Likes

I like the way teachers interact and ready for us anytime we need help.
Infrastructure is top notch, with air conditioning room.
College provide internship opportunities.

Dislikes

I basically dislike the strict study hours.
The location is not upto the mark, should be in main area.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course curriculum is good. Subject inclusion is balanced in every semester so that no pressure will be there on student. In 5 year BA LLB course for 3 years. We have BA as well as law paper'. After 3 years for 2 years total law paper are there.

Class Size: 120Course Fees: INR 58000 per year

Internships Opportunities

They provide internship with the lawyer of High court and civil court. Teachers also guide for the internship in different spear such as government organisation as well as NGOs. Different sector also provide law internship that are college is enthusiastic to support student on this.

Placement Experience

On an average placement is not up to the mark. Need work more in this area. Companies do not approach because of the location as well as the college where it is not providing you the all over exposure to outer world other than academic knowledge.

Fees and Financial Aid

The college offers quality education with a reasonable fee structure. The total cost for a five-year program is 3.5 lakhs, with an annual fee of 58,000. At the time of admission, students need to pay 4,000. One of the college’s strong points is its commitment to supporting students from weaker financial backgrounds. It provides financial aid and scholarships, ensuring that deserving students can continue their education without financial stress.

Campus Life

As hostel facilities are there but. As a student I prefer PG so that basically campus life is not much enthusiastic where as the environment and infrastructure is good classes are clean, washroom is clean. Campus is maintained well

Admission

I choose this college before other college because of affordability ,because of location it is situated,. Calcutta is a hub of development and mini companies as well to provide better opportunities for internship.

Faculty

Faculty of college is supportive, and students:. Teachers ratio is balanced. Teachers are always ready to guide on whatever topic we need guidance. Our HOD sir is very supportive and friendly. In whole year two semester exam conducts with two internal examination.

Night Life

The location of college is not in main city so the night life is very boring . Jyotirmoy School of law comes under Calcutta University which is situated in very outskirts that's why the night life is not much enthusiastic .

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.

Handbook to carry in TIU

Likes

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

Jalpaiguri Law College- a small review

Likes

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.

Likes

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.

I always wanted to pursue law so I chose this course. Government college provides the best faculty and my college takes regular students to attend various seminars in WBNUJS or any such seminar Our College have LLM-completed teachers, some are PHD holder as well. The exam happens every six months. It's easy to pass only if you study properly but CU check copies strictly, it's hard to get more than 90.
