Review of Faculty of Law, University of Calcutta.
Placements: There is no placement cell at the university of law. All students should practice in court, which you can call an internship. Students practice in many courts, like Baruipur Court, Howrah Court, Barasat Court, etc. After completing their B.A. LL.B., some students go practice in court and some students do a master of law.
Infrastructure: Our campus infrastructure is very good. The college authority provides Wi-Fi to every student. Our classrooms are well-cleaned and have plenty of space for 120 students. There is a lift for teachers and students. Our college hostel is very nice and clean. The hostel charges are less. The quality of the food is good.
Faculty: Our teachers are highly qualified and they are very helpful. They always treat every student as a friend and easily teach us. As this law college is under Calcutta University, during semester examinations, students have to go to other colleges under CU. Semester exams are difficult. The pass percentage is 40%.

One of The best college to study.
Placements: There is no such package offered in our course. There is no programme has been held where top companies will recruit us. 50-60% got internship in companies like Fox and Mondal, Khaitan, Nisith Desai law firm, S. Advocates, R. L. Law firm, Sarkar law firm etc.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are net and clean. Library is the best place so far. So peaceful to concentrate on making notes and getting ready for exams. There is no canteen in our college but for first aid there is a tool box. Sports and games are being held very often by the sports club.
Faculty: Teachers are superb here. They are really helpful and soft spoken. This course and college will make students know their worth and ability which will help them to fly high. The semester exams are really tough to crack and the pass percentage is 40% .
Other: My father wants me to be a Judicial officer and that's why I choose the path of law. So far am really happy in my journey .

It is a good college in terms of studies but not the campus.
Placements: Our college doesn't provide placements but it trains students so that they get jobs very easily. Most of the judges of the High Court of Calcutta are qualified from the department of law, University of Calcutta. Passing from CU is an achievement in itself.
Infrastructure: The college doesn't have any such campus. The classrooms are big, spacious library is very good. It doesn't have Wi-Fi. It has moot courts, seminar halls but doesn't have a ground for playing sports and games. The college has research rooms and a union room.
Faculty: Teachers are very qualified, helpful, and mostly doctorates teach us. Semester exams are easy, direct questions are given but the marking scheme is quite difficult. It is really hard to score 70% in CU. But, a 60% in CU is worth 90% in other universities.
Other: Events like debate, quizzes are organised in our university and we also participate in different inter-college competitions too.

The college consists of moot court society, debating society, magazine committee, legal aid clinic.
Placements: Placements in my batch had not yet been started. Few firms came for direct placements. Which hires almost 15-20 students. 20-30 students directly joins firms where they intern during their semester. 15-20 students from each batch go for higher studies. Few go for judiciary preparation and the rest go for litigation. (So we can say that out of batch of 120 students 30-40 students joins any firm/company. 20 students go higher studies. 20 students go for judiciary preparation out of which atleast 5 cracks and the rest go for litigation. ).
Infrastructure: Library is very good. It is open from 9am to around 6 PM. Moot court, seminar room along with the classroom consists of ACs. Library also consists of digital library. I don't live in hostel so I don't know about it. But as one of my friend told me who live in hostel. Hostel is very cheap and good. There is also regular tournament in university in which students from our college participate.
Faculty: Professors are vey good and they are highly qualified. Few professors are also almuni of abroad like Cambridge University etc. The course curriculum is also very good. The students can opt for whatever they want. The curriculum is like that it is also useful for the students who want to prepare for UPSC. Those who will study regularly will not have any problem clearing semesters exam. Internals are held 2 months prior to the exam. The passing percentage is 33.
Other: Overall I would like to say everything is best.

Satisfied with the college as it has good facilities.
Placements: In this course, you have to crack different exams. The bar council examination will register you as an advocate if you pass. Every student can do internships provided by our college or one can do on their own in their preferred courts.
Infrastructure: We do not have our own canteen. We have a common room where students can play indoor games. We have a big library. We got a playground behind our college. Many outdoor tournaments are held there. The infrastructure is average because it is a very old college.
Faculty: The teachers are well qualified and very helpful. They are very polite. They build a good base for every lawyer. We are lucky to have them as our teachers. If one studies carefully and follows the classes, the semester exams are very easy. One can easily pass the semester exams with very good marks.
