Should you pick Diploma in Legislative Drafting at Savitribai Phule Pune University?

This course suits students who want a product-company job and can live in a large university city for one year.

Pick it if:
You passed LL.B. in this state: half the seats are Open category, so a score that misses the reserved category list can still get in.
You want product companies, not only service litigation: the course-wise placement table lists the same four product recruiters in each of the last three years.
Your family can pay only per semester: you pay the course fee in eight parts, and a request to split it further opens every August.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You are counting on last year's closing score: it has got tougher three years in a row, so last year's number is not a safe score.
You need a single room from the first year: first-semesters share three to a room and single rooms open only from later courses.
You want internships in a big city: this is a large university city, so the placement cell brings most internships here.
You wait for the final marksheet: SPPU may close forms before it, so keep papers ready early.
Counsellor's advice
Take this course if you want drafting work and can attend Pune. If your papers are not ready, wait for the next form.

In short
Northfield costs less and pays more on average, but its closing score is about 3,000 places tougher. If your score clears both, take Northfield; if it clears only SPPU, take this seat and do not wait for the spot round.
In short
Riverbank places more of its group but charges INR 75,000 more over one year and pays a little less. If its easier closing score is what you need, keep it one place below SPPU in your course form list as the safer seat.
In short
Harbour charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the seats. If SPPU gives you a seat in any round, take it; Harbour belongs below it in your list, not above it.
In short
Lakeside costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier closing score. If your score misses SPPU in the early rounds, list Lakeside right below it and take whichever comes first.
In short
Summit is the cheapest seat here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If SPPU allots you a seat in any round, take it and keep Summit only as your backup.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on Savitribai Phule Pune University Diploma in Legislative Drafting

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is Diploma in Legislative Drafting at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without Pune visits is INR 5,850 and the last group averaged INR 2.5 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my score is just above the closing score?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General seat closed at score 75 in final merit list and it got tougher three years in a row, so a score that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the score checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get software jobs with product and litigation services companies that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 2.5 LPA, the median was INR 2.5 LPA and 80% of the group was placed. If you want a core legal English job instead, this course is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. New students share three to a room and single rooms open only from later courses. The campus is in a large university city, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from second term. The course has no minor and no specialisation before later courses, but the electives in later courses and 4 cover machine learning and legal notices, and the final drafting file can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in second term about a drafting file with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better score?▾
Only if you can raise your score by a lot, not a little. The General closing score got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a course change after first term if you want a sibling course.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the group?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 80% of the last group was placed, and the median of INR 2.5 LPA is lower than the average of INR 2.5 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in later courses.
Is this course better than ECE at this college for me?▾
Pick Legislative Drafting if you want a software job and ECE if you want a core legal English job. Legislative Drafting places a bigger share of its group with product companies, and its closing score is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want Legislative Drafting, the course change after first term needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the LL.B. marks exam and fill this college in your SPPU Admission Cell course form list. A seat comes in the round your score clears, and you must accept it and pay the admission fee within the days SPPU Admission Cell gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 1-year fee is INR 5,850 without Pune visits. With Pune visit cost it comes to INR 35,850. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the Pune visits adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the course fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.

Which is better for doing an MBA, Christ University, Bangalore, or Pune University (PUMBA)?

Aditi BanerjeeLives in Bangalore

Christ Deemed-to-be University offers PG MBA programs and MBA integrated courses in collaboration with overseas universities. The highest offer was INR 21.46 LPA in the 2022 placement report.

Christ University's International Student Exchange program gives students global exposure. It offers this option for students to learn from peers abroad.

Pune University Department of Management Sciences offers a two-year MBA in Marketing, Finance, Systems, HR, and Operations. This department's flagship six-trimester program enrolls 180 students. The highest offer was INR 18 LPA in the 2022 placement report.

The top reasons to choose PUMBA are

  • ROI: MBA returns in India are decent. PUMBA is excellent. Its two-year tuition is Rs. 135,000. Last year's PUMBA average salary was Rs 5.5 lakh. The top 50% of packages exceed 6.5 lakhs. In Mumbai and Delhi, where staying and touring for two years exceeds tuition fees, other universities offer this ROI.
  • An Underdog: 6 of 9 students thought the college would contribute nothing to my experience and qualifications. But now I know my maximum value will be here. My friends who joined before and after us are the same. 
  • Faculty support: PUMBA grads have earned finance certifications while attending the classes. B-school's busy timetable makes such time luxury challenging. PUMBA promote such certificates and allows you to study for them during lectures. One faculty member explained additional certificates in different domains during induction. 
  • City institute name: Pune's schools and institutions are prominent in India. Its management school reputation is low. However, the city has several company offices. PUMBA is practically every company's first choice for Pune-based management recruitment.

Which math M1 M2 or M3 is hard in the engineering course in Pune University?

Riya BanerjeeB.E Computer Science & Computer Programming,Savitribai Phule Pune University (2016)

Ony of my sisters is a part of Pune University and as per what she mentions, it is best that you practice the fundamental mathematical problems. Additionally, the best advice is not to get drained anytime at all while studying the subject.

Now, when shifting focus to your question, 

  • M1 incorporates basic algebra and is deemed pretty simpler than usual. 
  • On the other hand, M2 might still be difficult, yet it can however be aced if you practice the basics of integration and derivation.
  • In the case of M3, the course entirely depends upon the fundamentals you have earlier prepared for M2. 
  • After a brief elaboration, it is best that you rather choose preparing for M2, because it can contribute to making the subject quite easier. 

The study standpoint is curated as per the syllabus, and is best if you follow the pattern in accordance with it.
