I gave SLAT which is an exam for private institutions particularly for taking admission in any of the Symbiosis International University Law Colleges. After that the selected candidates are shortlisted for a private interview by each institution i.e. SLS, Pune, Hyderabad, Nagpur, and Noida.
So, the overall curriculum is quite interesting; there are a few subjects that I found irrelevant from law school perspective like foundation of ethics. The faculty is quite nice and friendly. However i personally feel some of them are not quite qualified to be teaching in such a huge institute, no offense to them. There are very few professors who provide us with a proper reading or preparation material for exam, they expect us to grasp everything during the lectures only, which is what I've personally struggled with. There are also instances where the marking strategy of the professors may seem confusing or not quite right. The good thing is there is a huge library in our campus that provides with a variety of books so it's not all bad for academically. Moreover, the faculty is also available for flexible hours if we have any queries or problems. They provide a structured one/syllabus which they send us through mail prior to the commencement of the semester and attach their emails.
I haven't opted for internship from my internship. I prefer to apply for it on my own as my institute doesn't really provide us with a lot of good internship opportunities. To be fair they do provide some good firm options for internships. However, most student prefer to apply for internship at their own expense
Placement and job opportunities aren't that great but I won't say they are bad. I'd say they are a decent way to kick start our law career. However, students from our college often choose to not go with college placements and look for job opportunities on their own as they feel like based on the fees paid, the placement provided isn't justified.
It increases 5-10% every year. Each law student for a 5 year integrated course has to pay about Rs 25 lakh or even more because the the percentage increase every year. It is a residential campus so hostel fees, mess fees, tution fees and other facilities are also includes in the fee structure
The college life at campus for me personally was a huge rollercoaster in the beginning of my first year. Everyone seemed too good to be true. I had my fair share of friendship breakups and betrayals, not to sound too dramatic. Some people are nice, some people are mean, it's a mix slot. You just have to be a little careful who you trust or who you confide it. It depends upon the person, what time of company they want to be in. One thing that i quite like about my campus is that it's quite diverse. Students from all over India come here to study and we all share our experiences and grow together over these 5 years which feels quite nice and comforting. But the large amount of students means more competition which is sad but true.
The hostel and the mess are actually decent. Each room has three students living together. The College provides each student with their personal study desk, bed and a shelf to keep our stuff on. Our room is daily cleaned which is really good and necessary. The mess food in the other hand is a bit average. If you are first year having mess food for the first time, you're going to miss your home a lot so brace yourselves:)
The campus placements are good and there are companies coming in every year for fresh talent but it all comes down to our talent. We are provided with an opportunity but we have to work for it ourselves.
Placements and Internships The placement opportunities at my college are average, with a limited number of companies visiting the campus every year. Students who maintain a good academic record and possess strong technical and communication skills have better chances of getting placed. Generally, students with no active backlogs and a minimum academic percentage as specified by the recruiting company are eligible to participate in campus placements. A few recruiters visit the college for hiring, mainly for entry-level roles in software, IT support, and core engineering domains. However, the number of offers is limited, and only around 40–50% of students secure campus placements. The average salary package offered ranges from ?3–4 LPA, while the highest package varies depending on the company and the student's performance. The college also encourages students to apply for paid internships, which help them gain practical industry experience and improve their technical skills
I am still in my second year, so I havent sat for placements yet. But the college starts preparing us early with coding practice, projects, aptitude training, resume building sessions, and mock interviews. FRom interacting with seniors, I have heard that students who stay consistent with their skills get good opportunities
One good thing is that placements aren't treated as something that only matters in the final year. From the early semesters we are encouraged to build projects, improve our coding skills, and create a strong resume. That gives us enough time to prepare instead of rushing later. The college also shares internship opportunities and guides students through the application process. There are resume reviews, mock interviews, and career sessions that help us understand what companies expect. I feel the support is there throughout the journey, the more effort you put in, the more you can benefit from these opportunities.
Best part is the college doesn't wait until the final year to talk about careers. We get opportunities to work on projects, improve our coding, build resumes, and attend interview preparation sessions from the early semesters. Internship opportunities are shared regularly and the college guides students through the application process. This has helped me gain practical experience and understand what companies expect.
From what I have experienced the college starts preparing us for placements much earlier than I expected. We regularly have coding practice, project work, resume reviews, aptitude sessions and mock interviews, so you are improving little by little instead of waiting for the final year. The college also shares internship and job opportunities with students. I feel the support is definitely there but your results depend on how much effort you put into building your skills.
In our district kamala is the only college with highest placement records .many more MNC are visiting our college and student are getting placed in many companies with highest packages and currently they are leading good lifes
Since I am still a student I haven't gone through the final placement season yet. But from what I have seen the college starts preparing us quite early. We have regular coding sessions, aptitude training, mock interviews and resume building workshops. The placement team also shared internship opportunities whenever they are available. I feel the college is more focused on making students job ready than waiting until the final year. If you stay consistent with your coding, projects and overall skills, you will be in a much better position when placement season starts. Overall I think the college provides good support, but students also need to put in their own effort.
As a current student I haven't reached the final placement season yet but the college has already started preparing us. We get regular updates about internship opportunities, and many students apply from the early semester itself. Along with that there are sessions on resume writing, aptitude, communication skills and interview preparation. The college also encourages us to build projects and improve our technical skills, which helps while applying for internships. I feel these small efforts throughout the course will make a big difference when placements begun.
One important thing I like about the course is that it isn't only about reading books and writing exams. We get to practice what we learn through coding, assignments, and small projects, which makes the subject easier to understand. The syllabus also covers topics that are useful for todays tech industry. The faculty is friendly and easy to talk to. They explain concepts in a simple way, clear doubts without any hesitation, and we are already ready to help if someone is struggling.
