Overall experience is good.

Placements: The placement record at my college is poor, with only four or five students getting pre-placement offers. This is disappointing, but the administration is working to improve the situation.

Infrastructure: The classrooms are air conditioned and have smart LED and properly functioning mic systems, so the teachers' voices come through clearly. The campus is clean and lush green, and the library has separate desks for everyone and is air conditioned.

Faculty: The quality of the professors varies, which can be a problem for students because the collaborative teaching system makes it difficult to keep up with all of them. The course moves at a fast pace, but it prepares students for the rigors that lie ahead. The difficulty level of the exams is quite good, with almost all questions being application-based.

Other: There are many committees that keep the events happening, and the students are very involved. For example, students participate in moot competitions. Overall, it is a very busy life at the university.

Chanakya National Law University Review.

Placements: There are a total of 25% of students placed in this college. The highest placement offered was 24 lacs, and the median package is 9 lacs per annum. The recruiting company is mostly banks and Tier 2 and Tier 3 firms. There are no restrictions on internships. Students get internships at top companies, and many of them are placed in those companies.

Infrastructure: Our college has above-average infrastructure. The classrooms are totally digital and there are unlimited Wi-Fi connections. We have a moot court hall and a conference hall and all classes are air-conditioned. The hostels are below average and there is a scarcity of rooms in the boy hostels. The food is above average in quality but the rooms are double-seated. Good rooms are allotted to those who secure good marks and subsequently, rooms are allotted to the students. The sports culture is not there. Students are also not involved in playing sports.

Faculty: The teaching quality is mixed in nature. Some teachers have an interesting way of teaching and the majority of them are well qualified. Yes, this course curriculum is relevant. This makes the student industry ready. The difficulty level of the semester exam depends on the teachers. They set the question paper in such a way that weak students can get passed; scoring high marks for toppers is difficult.

Other: I love to pursue law, as it is my passion. I chose this college because I got a rank suitable for admission to this college in the CLAT exam. It is an NLU and completing a law from an NLU is very good. CNLU is situated in the middle of the city of Patna and the connectivity is very good. Parliamentary debate is the flagship event of the college, held in the month of September. CNLU does not provide any scholarships. People are engaged in debate and mooting.

Know all about Chanakya National Law University.

Placements: The University has a placement cell but the percentage of students getting placed through the placement cell is very low, 3-4 students each year. The recruiters are usually Khaitan and Co., ICICI, etc. The average package is 18-22 LPA. The top roles offered are associates, legal consultants, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the academic block as well as the hostels are very good. The classrooms are inbuilt with smart digital classrooms, which also facilitate the students to attend the classes online in case they are sick for a prolonged time. WiFi is accessible throughout the campus. There is a computer lab as well. There are separate hostel facilities for girls and boys. Each room has a separate balcony. Hostels have a gym facility, washing machine, badminton court and common hall for indoor games like table tennis and carrom. The mess is in the hostel itself. The food quality is good and meals enriching in nutrients are incorporated in the menu. The college has football, volleyball and basketball courts as well.

Faculty: The faculty is helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. They try to impart as much knowledge as possible through their lectures. There are also guest lecturers. The course curriculum is carefully curated to meet contemporary needs and make the students industry-ready. The question papers are very tricky, as they not only test the bookish knowledge but also help the students prepare situation-based questions. The passing marks are 50% of the total marks and the passing percentage of students is nearly 90-95%.

Other: The course is an integrated course and saves time. The campus life is quite jolly and peaceful. There are various different events that occur throughout the year.

There is an ambulance in case of emergency.

Other: I opted for this course to become an advocate or judge who has a lot of knowledge and I wanted to be helpful to others. Our college should improve its faculty members and placements.

Currently doing above average, BUT VERY OPTIMISTIC FUTURE ahead. High demand in the next 5 years.

Placements: The college has a prevalent judiciary culture. So, the remaining minor crowd of corporate enthusiasts, the good news is that this year ALL those who wanted to get placement were placed. There has been a high increase in visits from tier 1 and tier 2 firms regularly. Mostly, banks were recruiting students till now. Efforts from personal capacity too were required for placements till now.
