Our college is decent for placements.
Placements: Around 90% of students got placed with a decent salary package. The highest salary package was 45 LPA offered by Adobe and Amazon offered 44 LPA. The lowest salary package was 4 LPA and the average salary package is 6 to 8 LPA. Top recruiting companies like Adobe, Amazon, and many good companies like CVENT, Yamaha, Alternative Path, One BCG, etc., offer good salary packages and roles. Roles offered were SDE, SDET, QA, Business Analyst, Product Analyst, Developer, Data Analyst, Data scientist, etc. Everyone was offered an internship for 6 months before a full-time offer based on performance.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is incredibly attractive. There are numerous labs and classes with Wi-Fi. An enormous library that is fully air-conditioned with a wide range of resources and can sit and study in the library. It is beautiful on 2 floors. Hostels are well-maintained and well kept. There are two separate buildings for the boys and girls hostels.
Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable but won't be bound to complete the course so you would think that exams would be conducted after course completion. Some teachers are good and students want to attend their classes seriously because of the experience and hold of concepts they have. The course curriculum designed is good. We can opt for a new tech stack like IoT or blockchain to get hold of the latest technologies in the world. Exams are conducted would not be tough. Around 100% is the pass percentage.
Other: I chose MCA in software engineering because it was the passion I wanted to follow and all my experience is nice. I learned a lot and got ready for industry experience. There was more time because we were the covid batch, so our 3 semesters got shrunk to trimesters but we were given a month break after 2nd trimester to prepare for placements. Different scholarships are being provided to students from EWS, single girl children, and children of defense people. Fest for us was not conducted. We didn't have freshers or farewells. There are societies in which people join and grow.

Good infrastructure; placements are not good.
Placements: Around 30% of students were placed in MCA (SE). The highest package is 11.50 lac and the lowest package is 3.50 lac, with an average package of 6.5 lac. TCS and Yamaha are the top companies. None are currently getting internships. Web Development and Data Analysis are key areas.
Infrastructure: There are very good labs, classrooms, and a fully AC library where you can find any book. The hostel is decent, and the food in the mess is good. Canteen food is also good. Sports facilities are excellent on campus, with basic medical facilities available. The college organizes a sports week every year in which many affiliated colleges participate.
Faculty: The teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is good, and the course curriculum is relevant, making students industry-ready. Sometimes, semester exams are difficult and sometimes easy. The pass percentage is about 90%.
Other: I chose this because of the non-hectic curriculum and for placements. The best thing is my course curriculum is not hectic; you can easily manage your studies. I wish that the placements would improve for my course. The college is well connected by Metro, bus, etc. The college organizes a fest called Anoogunj every year; it's a 3-day-long event and fest.

USICT is one of the top-tier colleges at IPU. The facilities it provides are also very good.
Placements: Around 90% of the students in our batch have got placed. The highest package offered in our course is 44.5 LPA which was offered by Amazon and the lowest package is 4 LPA offered by cognizant. Our placement drives were conducted for almost a year and there are many recruiting companies. Top recruiters are Amazon, Tata1mg, Blackberry, TravClan, Alternative Path, Nagarro, and Thorogood.
Infrastructure: The facilities are quite good. There are Wi-Fi-enabled classrooms and labs. Other than that, this college focuses on the practicals of almost every subject. There is a very huge air-conditioned Wi-Fi enabled library where you can find any book and you can also read there. The hostel fee is also reasonable and the facilities they provide and the mess are also very good. The prices of the canteen are also very reasonable.
Faculty: Almost all the teachers on our campus are Ph.D. qualified or pursuing Ph.D. They are very helpful and cooperative. Recently in 2020, our course syllabus has been updated and the subjects they included have a huge scope for career growth. Semester exams are very easy to pass. Around 25 marks are for an internal exam and 75 marks are for an external exam. Try to score more in external exams. There is also internal choice in almost every question in an external exam. The passing mark is 40 marks out of 100 where you can also get gracing marks of 6.
Other: I had chosen this course because I wanted to go for development. The best thing about this course is that we have got the opportunity to learn the latest and most advanced course. I think the thing that should be improved is to emphasize more practicals. Different events have been organised regularly by various clubs. The annual fest Anugoonj has been organised every year.

The college is good but could be better in terms of infrastructure.
Placements: Placements in our college are good. All the major companies like Amazon and Blackstone visit our campus. But of course, you have to meet their eligibility criteria, so it depends on how hard you study. Other than that, some good companies also visit the campus.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. It could be better though. For example, the law building has its own library, the libraries should be provided for other streams as well. The journalism building could use a lot of work. It's just one floor, and it's not properly maintained.
Faculty: Faculty members are quite helpful but not every teacher you come across is co-operative. But at the end of the day, it depends on how much the student wants to learn. You can get your teacher to help you or switch to a different mentor. Getting proper mentoring during projects is very important for students.

Q:   Is B.A. LL.B. (Hons) at GGSIPU worth the investment?

A: 
{Source: B.A. LL.B. (Hons) students & alumni}

Based on the reviews and feedback from students and alumni, here's a summary:

* Placement Cell: The placement cell is active, but placements are not very encouraging. Most students opt for individual advocacy or small law firms, offering average salaries ranging from INR3-INR4 Lacs per annum. Top roles offered are those of a legal associate, with some students securing internships with renowned law firms.
* Faculty: Teachers are generally knowledgeable, but some may lack enthusiasm. The permanent faculty members are helpful and supportive, while guest lecturers from the field bring valuable industry experience.
* Infrastructure: The college has modern infrastructure, including air-conditioned classrooms, a dedicated law library, and Wi-Fi-enabled premises. Hostels are comfortable, with single occupancy rooms and decent food facilities.
* Extracurricular Activities: The college organizes various events, fests, and seminars, providing opportunities for students to develop their skills and interests.
* Campus Life: The campus is lively, with a mix of students from diverse backgrounds. The location in Sector 16, Dwarka, is convenient, with easy access to public transportation and amenities.

However, some concerns were raised regarding:

* Teaching Pedagogy: Some students felt that the teaching method was traditional and lacked innovation, making learning less engaging.
* Curriculum: While the curriculum is relevant, some students believed it didn't prepare them adequately for the industry.
* Internship Opportunities: Although some students secured internships, others reported limited opportunities and irregularity in payment structures.

Overall, whether or not the B.A. LL.B. (Hons) programme at GGSIPU is "worth the investment" depends on individual goals and expectations. For those seeking a strong theoretical foundation and willing to pursue individual advocacy or smaller law firms, the programme may be suitable. However, for those looking for higher-paying jobs or extensive internship opportunities, alternative options may be more beneficial.
