Should you pick Post Graduate Diploma in Law at Jai Narain Vyas University - [JNVU]?
This course suits graduates who want a short law add-on at a public university.
Pick it if:
You have a Rajasthan record: JNVU merit lists move by category, so keep every paper ready before reporting.
You want court work: Jodhpur has district courts and law offices where graduates look for junior roles.
Your family wants low fees: the full course fee is INR 12,000 before hostel and living cost.
You want low risk: the ROI tile is high because the fee is much lower than the pay figure.
Skip it if:
You need sure entry: a merit score near 70 is close, so keep another law option ready.
You need fixed hostel: hostel seats depend on the university list, so confirm a room before paying living cost.
You want metro internships: Jodhpur is smaller, so you will search beyond campus for many legal internships.
You wait till the end: JNVU lists close fast, so submit choices before the last date.
Counsellor's advice
Take this course if you want Jodhpur law practice and low fees. If hostel is not confirmed, pay only after asking the office.

In short
Bhavnagar costs less and pays more on average, but its closing merit score is about 3,000 places tougher. If your merit score clears both, take Bhavnagar; if it clears only JNVU, take this seat and do not wait for the last round.
In short
Mumbai places more of its batch but charges INR 75,000 more over two years and pays a little less. If its easier closing merit score is what you need, keep it one place below JNVU in your choice 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 JNVU gives you a seat in any round, take it; Harbour belongs below it in your list, not above it.
In short
Ratlam costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier closing merit score. If your merit score misses JNVU in the early rounds, list Ratlam 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 JNVU 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 Jai Narain Vyas University - [JNVU] Post Graduate Diploma in Law
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is B.Tech PG Diploma Law at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 12,000 and the last batch averaged INR 3 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 merit score is just above the closing merit score?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General General merit seat closed at merit score 70 in final round and it got tougher three years in a row, so a merit 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 merit score checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get legal jobs with law firms and legal service companies that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 3 LPA, the median was INR 2.4 LPA and 92% of the batch was placed. If you want a court practice goal 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. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 2. The campus is in a Jodhpur, 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 year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 2, but the electives in year 2 and 4 cover labour law and legal writing, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better merit score?▾
Only if you can raise your merit score by a lot, not a little. The General closing merit 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 year 1 if you want a sibling course.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 92% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 2.4 LPA is lower than the average of INR 3 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 year 2.
Is this course better than ECE at this college for me?▾
Pick PG Diploma Law if you want a legal job and ECE if you want a court practice goal. PG Diploma Law places a bigger share of its batch with product companies, and its closing merit score is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want PG Diploma Law, the course change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the JNVU merit exam and fill this college in your JNVU choice list. A seat comes in the round your merit score clears, and you must accept it and pay the admission fee within the days JNVU 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 2-year fee is INR 12,000 without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 1.20 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition 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.
