I am a student with no legal background. It was my mother’s idea to pursue law and while she was looking out for options she found this newsletter describing the process of joining NLUs that are present all over the country. Every NLU has an entrance test by name- CLAT (Common Law Admission Test). It was the same for my college too, prepared for CLAT for like 3 months took an online crash course and gave an attempt for this exam. Got a decent rank and was admitted to DSNLU, Vizag. Before admission, I went through a verification process where they verified you on an online platform asking me to show you the certificates that I have put in throughout the process. It has been around 10 years since the university was established and has a good remark and reputation for its overall process. The university not only consists of the local faculty but even the ones from outside the local area are also present teaching the students. Also, they arrange seminars for the students by inviting faculty.
The course I’m pursuing currently is BA; LLB (Hons) because DSNLU only provides this course and in addition to it another course BBA; LLB is still not available at this university for now but will be provided in the coming years. The faculty that are present in the university are inclusive of local and non-local faculty and are pretty decent. Some of them are highly intellectual while some of them are pretty good. The teaching method includes theoretical study focusing especially on caselaws. Per year there are two semesters and each semester consists of two exams, mid-term and end-term exams respectively. The difficulty level is pretty good and sometimes depends on the faculty adhered to the subject. There’s no need to get tensed about exams but timely study and revisions from time to time can help you easily to attempt the exam and score good marks. For now, there are no fee hikes policy and for every year it costs around 2 lakhs inclusive of some scholarships provided to students.
Yes, I have opted for internships. You can apply for internships through university or you can do it individually. Through university, there’s ICC - Internship Coordination Committee which helps you choose an internship at any law firm from their suggestions. They show you and help you along the process of applying to any company. Individually if you are willing you can either work at any advocate if you know in a court process and can get recommended to any law firm or any office for good corporate exposure. Subjects that are offered in law firms include corporate law, tax law, company law and more and some courts through which you will learn constitutional law, IPC, CrPC and many more. Some companies that provide internships include Lakshmikumaran and Sridharan, Suarana and Surana m, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas and CAM, Tatva Legal, Trilegal and many more companies that offer internships to law students.
Every student has to maintain minimum good marks to go through the campus placement opportunities. Every year many recruiters come to the campus to provide placements to the students and some include SAM, CAM associates and also some from the banking sector like HDFC etc. highest package could be around 12-14 lakhs LPA and the average package is around 8-10 LPA. The Recruitment Coordination Committee (RCC) runs the recruitment drive on the campus. There’s also the Internships Coordination Committee (ICC) that makes sure students apply to internships during the 2-month of summer break and 1-month winter break so that the students can get some practical knowledge by working as interns in either courts or law firms as per their interest in the subject. Internships also play a major role during placements as for the internships you get to meet a lot of recruiters who can recruit you there or it will upgrade your CV. For now, I’m not sure about my plans depending on placement I get.
Campus life at DSNLU is great. The first event a student goes through is the freshers party where you get to know your seniors and get to interact with them nicely. Later there are many events and programs and many festivals that are organised throughout the year in the campus. Prioritising the Intra competitions that are held throughout the year for both sports and cult where students from every batch who are interested can participate representing their batch for the overall championship for the end of the year. The campus has a vast library that is present in the academic block with access to many journals, books and many resources providing access to online resources through e-library. All classrooms are centralised AC rooms along with smart boards in every classroom. Some social groups and committees are run by students some include drishtikon, etc. hostels are pretty good with good ventilation with 40000 per year inclusive of the mess that is commonplace.
Those students who are in 5th semister are eligible for campus placements. Around 70-80% students are placed every year in top reputed companies with decent salary. I received placement offer from TCS . That was because of placement cell of Ashoka.
The campus placement is really good . Most of the students get placed in small or big company at last the moto is to have a job not focusing on salary where the salary does not matter. above 75% is the eligibility to sit in the campus placement drive if the company give their eligibility criteria or else no.
Considering current job market the Placements and job opportunities are satisfactory with mass hiring companies such as Accenture, Infosys and Capgemini being the highest bulk recruiting service based companies where 20-30 students get placed out of a class of strength 70, students are asked to register in their Third year for placements , The eligibility criteria is to not have any active backlogs and ready with structured resume though students are filtered with their CGPA , they will be rounds of aptitude and problem solving and having good DSA background will help a lot . The Highest packages is from Infosys which give 16+ LPA to students with advanced DSA knowledge but majority are placed between 4.5 - 6 LPA . Many students opt for higher studies by preparing for competitive exams or use their strong alumni network to get referrals are big Tech companies.
The average annual hostel fee is around Rs. 48,000 per student (or roughly Rs. 3,000 - 4,000 per month.The campus offers separate hostels for boys and girls with furnished rooms. Students note that the rooms are kept tidy, well-lit, and offer options for both single and shared occupancy.
In my college,the highest package is 35lpa and lowest package is 2lpa. Many companies was visited to my college for placement like tech Mahindra, Infosys, auto desk. Coming to the placements, their was many competition to get the offer.
Students with cgpa greater than 9 are considered first for placements indirectly. They will get more companies. And there will be bulk hiring for most of the students. TCS , Cognizant etc will come . And I feel the placement training team CRCS will train the students mainly competitive programming . Because they focus more on this .Also they will teach you each and everything ranging from how to write the recruitment exam to how to attend the HR interview. Even if you want to go for higher studies, they will guide you through it. The average package is around 10 LPA. And the highest is 50 LPA. Most of the students are placed through the University placements itself.
Students generally are eligible for placements after completion of 3rd year. Top companies like amazon, Accenture, Infosys, paypal, TCS, etc offered placements last year with offers in range of 5-15 . Highest package is 44 LPA and average package is 9 LPA. Percentage of students placed is in the range of 70%-80%. I am planning to prepare for Bank exams after completion of graduation.
Job opportunities are countless for the students who are skilled. Both software and core jobs placements can be observerved in a wide range. Many multi national companies like deloitte, infosys, snovasys, TCS, Accenture are tied up with the campus for conducting drives.
placements are good compared to many other college in the area. many companies like deloitte , hexaware , moldtek, ctrls, zf technologies, accenture , infosys, tcs, coditas, rithwik enterprises recruit every year from our college
There are good placements are going on on this university to crack a job interviews and minimum packages are got by some and most got more packages and the more more companies are coming to this university and when we have skill and discipline only we get placement job otherwise we won't get job.
