NALSAR University of Law: Creating Professionals who also know how to party
Likes
- The campus life comes first in this answer. There’s Fests, Parties, Events, and everything you want in your college life. The rules are liberal, there’s no CCTV Cameras anywhere inside the campus, the implementation of most rules is also very lax, the freedom to roam around, have fun is unmatched. There’s no hostel curfews for both the guys and the girls, the campus is safe and it’s a great place to explore new things, try stuff and not regret anything.
- The opportunities in terms of internships, Events, Guest Lectures, Placements, Foreign Exchange and many other things. The opportunities this college provide its students to grow professionally is another thing I love about NALSAR.
Dislikes
- There is literally nothing to dislike about in NALSAR but if I have to name a few, the first would be the competition. By its very structure, NALSAR can get pretty competitive at times, with ranks being very important, the competition can be rolling on people’s mental health.
- The second thing would be the toxicity, I think this is common in all colleges, but NALSAR also gets very toxic sometimes, especially during the SBC Elections. There’s a horrible Cancel culture that is very prevalent as well.
Remarks :
NALSAR University of Law is one of the most prestigious institutions in the country with the highest NAAC Accreditation amongst all Law Schools in India and is constantly ranked in the top 3 Law schools in the country. Admissions into NALSAR occur through CLAT or the Common Law Entrance Test, which is a JEE/NEET style entrance for 22 National Law Universities including NALSAR. An All India Rank of under 200 is necessary for candidates without any reservations to be eligible to join NALSAR. While the cutoff does vary every year, a rank of 200 or below is generally enough.
Course Curriculum Overview :
The 5-year B.A.LL.B (Hons.) course opens up work opportunities in the Corporate law sector while also enabling one to be a practitioner and also opens up doors for further studies through an LLM. This course is very well structured, intense at times, and pretty easy at times. The exams are conducted on a strict schedule but the schedule is not very demanding, the semesters are spread out over 4 months, with festivals and parties, and events in between. The fee hike is very minimal (10k per year) and Financial assistance is available for students from backward communities and also for students from EWS families.
Internships Opportunities :
Internships through the college are offered in the 3rd/4th years. Firms include Khaitan, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, Trilegal, AZB, Boston Consultancy Group, Herbert Smith Freehills etc. The role of a corporate law intern is pretty standard across, it involves lots and lots of research, a little bit of drafting and sitting in meetings.
Placement Experience :
All students who have passed all courses at the time of the Placements are eligible for placements. The college has had a 100% placement record since like forever. The average package is 15LPA with a few students getting up to 40LPA. All top-tier law firms visit the campus for placements and almost all top-tier firms give internships to students through the Internship Coordination Committee. Almost 30 students get offered Pre-Placement Offers by the firms, while the rest get placed through placements. I would like to get a PPO in my fourth year, so I can have time to decide whether or not I want to be a corporate lawyer. UPSC is another option that I’m looking at, NALSAR also provides a solid foundation for that too.
Campus Life :
The college has a LOT of Fests. We have the College Fest which is the biggest fest, Carpediem in April, Telugu Fest in March, Southie Fest in March, East Fest in March, Lohri Fest in January, and Winnow(Management Fest) in February. We also have Awadh Magadh in August, Rajasthani Fest in September, West Fest in September and we also have a freshers Party in July and the infamous April party in April. The students run an elected body called the Student Bar Council, with various committees including the cultural and fine arts committee, sports committee, Mess committee, etc. Food in the mess is quite decent and there are 4 decent eateries on campus. Off late many new Hotels, Restaurants have come up near campus as well. All students must stay on campus (residential). The campus life is very very happening, it’s the wild Wild West here but also there’s a very good peer interaction culture, very helpful seniors, and overall great life.

Placement Experience :
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.
Not so great
Placement Experience :
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
Learning, coding, and growing everyday
Placement Experience :
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
Where learning meets industry
Placement Experience :
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.
A satisfying learning journey
Placement Experience :
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.
Learning, growth and great memories
Placement Experience :
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.
Best memories of my life

Reasons I chose NIAT
Placement Experience :
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.
College life beyond classroom
Placement Experience :
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.
A great place to meet like minded people
Course Curriculum Overview :
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.
