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.

Here's what our analysis reveals:

* Placement: Unfortunately, placements are poor for B.Voc students, with only 4-5 students being selected by private companies like Samsung, ThoughtWorks, and Tata Power every year. This has worsened post-COVID.
* Faculty: While some teachers are good, others are inexperienced and unhelpful. Homework assignments are often given without guidance, making self-study essential.
* Curriculum: The syllabus is designed to be industry-ready, but students need to put in extra effort to learn.
* Infra: Infrastructure is subpar, with a dusty library and average classrooms. The lack of hostels for B.Voc students is another concern.
* Scholarship: Scholarships are available, but we couldn't gather detailed information on the process.

In summary, while GGSIPU has its strengths (e.g., good connectivity), B.Voc students face significant challenges in terms of placement, faculty experience, and infrastructural shortcomings. We recommend exploring other options carefully before choosing GGSIPU for your B.Voc program.
