What Students Say

Likes

I like the way teachers communicate with the students and do interactive and doubt clearing classes.
I like the library of the college which is Asia's oldest law library. It has diverse option of books and students can easily access the books and websites meant for research.
I like the alumni circle of the college which comprises of prestigious personalilites who have cracked judiciary and are now well known advocates, judges.

Dislikes

I do not like the old building of the college. I think it needs more improvement.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course deals with all aspects of law. It is a five-years integrated course. The syllabus is upto date. Real world application of the syllabus is massive as it prepares us to become lawyers. But the frequency of exam timings is a problem here. We are told that we get 6 months for preparation but in reality, we give exam in just 5 or 4 months gap. I think this is the only con that should be changed.

Class Size: 150Course Fees: INR 8600 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

Tuition fees in Department of Law, Calcutta University is the lowest possible fees available all around the world. The total course fee is around 10k. It does not have any hidden charges as it is a government college. You can avail number of scholarships.

Campus Life

Campus life in the department is really enjoyable. There are many festivals are held all around the year. The Library is well equipped and students can easily access journals, books, research paper. Student run social group like ADR, debating society, journal and seminar committee etc are also top notch and they help in connecting people.

Admission

You have to pass 12th with 45% marks from West Bengal board, icse or cbse or any equivalent. You also have to sit in entrance exam called Calcutta University Law Entrance Test. It is not a very tough exam but can be very competitive. If you are general you have to rank within 100 to get admission in the department which ranks 1st amongst all the other colleges under CU. There are also 14 other colleges under CU where you can take admission through this CULET.

Faculty

The faculty in department of Law is very well versed in their respective subject and they know what they are doing. They take both online and offline classes to complete their syllabus and are easily accessible by the students. Their friendly nature is the most attractive thing about them. They also guide students who want to sit in competitive exams. There are many full time and part time professors in the college. So, the faculty to student ratio maybe around 1:30

SNU - A bizzare

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.
