Absolutely a nice option if you want to enjoy your law college life. PS: don't take hostel admission
Placements: First of all, they didn't offer any placement at the time of admission. So, I think it's our duty to search for jobs. All students can do their internship while studying in our college at advocate offices, courts, and government offices. Also, they can participate in moot court competitions.
Infrastructure: We have such a decent library in our college. The library also provides computers. They also provide free Wi-Fi connection to all students who are in the library. The hostel is good except for the food. Many cases have been reported where students get food poisoning, so it's better to avoid the hostel.
Faculty: The teachers are really cool and well-trained. They teach us very well. Yes, the course is curriculum relevant. 50% marks are mandatory here, and it's really difficult for us to get 50% marks. Semester exams are regular now, but they provide very low marks.
Other: They conduct Al Azhar Fest, which is the best part of our college life. It's the biggest college fest in Kerala. Also, our college provides SC/ST scholarships for those who are eligible for that.
