RGNUL is a good place to beat.
Placements: Our college provides placement offers from good law firms like SAM, CAM, Trilegal, etc. It is said that RGNUL is not good for placements, but they also need to understand not a lot of students opt for placements. Our college has a great judiciary culture, so most of the students opt for judiciary or further studies, but it does not mean we do not have placements here.
Infrastructure: There are 6 hostels for boys and 5 for girls. Another building is also being built for girls. Hostels are great with spacious rooms, air-conditioners, geysers, and good Wi-Fi connection. You may have to connect to Wi-Fi again and again, but it works great. RGNUL is known for its infrastructure and hostels. The infrastructure is great and properly designed. You might have to walk a lot but it is worth it. The library is good and its infrastructure is great. There is a lot of space to sit and read in the library. It is filled with different books, law journals, law magazines, etc.
Faculty: Faculty members are good and approachable. Professors are well-versed in their particular areas. If you have any doubts, then you can go to their office during office hours, and they will help you out. First years majorly have to study B.A. subjects but 1 or 2 law subjects. In the second year, law subjects increase, but B.A. subjects are still there, and from 3rd year onwards, there are all law subjects. The curriculum is designed properly according to the needs of the students.
Other: Our college is far from the city. It takes like 20-25 minutes to go to the city and we have an auto right outside the campus to go to the city. There is also a scooter service, where you can rent a scooter for a day. College life is happening right after as one or other kind of event or competition is going on. It keeps you entertained and and makes you feel a bit relaxed. Our college organises an event named Zelus, which is our own sports fest, and it is one of the greatest times in our college. Tedx is also held in our college which is great. For the semester break after 1 semester, you are given a 1-month break, and after the 2-semester, there is a 2-months break.

It is a good college to build your career.
Placements: Placements are increasing every year. Around 10-15 students got placed in our college. Our college provides internships in the third year.
Infrastructure: Our college provides the best infrastructure and facilities. The hostel is air-conditioned and has a badminton court, a park, a combined mess, and common rooms. Our college has a sports ground for football, basketball, volleyball, badminton, lawn tennis, and running track. The library is divided into two sections. One is the reading room for which you will have to bring your gadgets and books, which is open till noon. You can borrow books from the other library, which is open till 8 PM. Our college provides many facilities like a mess, a separate auditorium, classrooms, seminar halls, conference rooms, etc.
Faculty: Our faculty members are well-qualified and highly knowledgeable. The course curriculum is designed in such a manner so that you can divert your time to other activities like research and publication, moots, debates, mediation, etc. All subjects are good.
Other: Many students are studying in our college from various parts of India, and unity in diversity is maintained very well. Our college surroundings are not well-developed as it is on the outskirts of Patiala.

RGNUL - A Place Where You Will Find Your Way
Placements: 30% of the batch gets placed. It’s not due to placement by the college, but 90% of the placed students secure pre-placement offers themselves. Packages start around 6 Lacs, with 10-12 Lacs being average, and tier 1 firms can offer up to 22 Lacs. Not many firms visit for placements. S&A and EY are major recruiters, offering around 8-10 Lacs. 90% of students get internships, but the college's contribution is minimal; students find these themselves. Top roles include associate at law firms, in-house legal counsel, junior advocates at chambers, and consultants at public policy forums.
Infrastructure: All facilities are provided, including Wi-Fi, computer labs, AC in classrooms, moot court hall, and seminar hall. In the hostel, there is double occupancy for the first three years and single rooms for the next two. Guest house and medical facilities are available. The campus includes a facility area with shops, laundry, a parlor, a fruit shop, an SBI bank branch, and India Post. The mess is better than at major colleges, though some issues persist occasionally. Water coolers and washrooms are common. Rooms are cleaned daily, with AC available. Sports and games are emphasized, and a ground is available for these activities.
Faculty: The teachers are helpful but not the best. Teaching quality is average overall. The curriculum is relevant but basic, with minimal burden, allowing time for other pursuits. Semester exams are relatively easy to pass with three repeat exam chances. Approximately 95% of the batch passes.
Other: It is a good place if you want to pursue a career in judiciary or other competitive exams. Access to various databases and journals is provided, along with good quality infrastructure. Academics need improvement, particularly with a more proactive internship and placement cell. Zelus is a major sports fest. The campus has a vibrant crowd with many events and parties. It is on the outskirts of Patiala, so connectivity to the city is a bit expensive, although Delhi is accessible by direct bus. There isn’t much to do around the campus except for occasional restaurants and bars. Scholarships are available for SC/ST category students and North Eastern students, as well as merit scholarships through third-party collaborations. Various competitions, conferences, and performances are conducted, including moots, ADRs, debates, and paper presentations.

It has the best infrastructure, and the placements in 2021 were good.
Placements: About 200 students are there in my course, shortlisted from CLAT UG. The highest package offered is about 12-15 LPA, the lowest package is 3 LPA, and the average package is 8 LPA. Khaitan & Co., and Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas are the top recruiting companies for my course. About 5-6 students got internships in EBC and NHRC-like places every month.
Infrastructure: Our university has one of the best infrastructures among all the NLUs. Every hostel room has AC. The campus is 56 acres. There are 2 canteens on campus. A clinic is also available. Food is of good quality. There is a change of mess menu almost every month.
Faculty: The teachers are very knowledgeable here. The course curriculum is professional, and it leads the student to get recruited by big companies. The passing percentage is 50%, and exams are moderate. The teachers here are mostly doctorates. Vast aspects of the law are covered in the curriculum, like criminology and public international law.
Other: This is a professional course, and I had a keen interest in law. More practicality and other different aspects of law could have been added to the course. Connectivity is not so bad.

Review of NLU Patiala (RGNUL) - Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law.
Placements: The placements offered by this college are not great as not many law firms seem to select the candidates. However, there is a good rate of students pursuing litigation and judiciary as their career options and flourishing in the same. This university offers B.A. L.B honors course, although various new courses in other fields are being debated upon to be added eventually.
Infrastructure: NLU Patiala offers the best infrastructure out of all the NLUs. The campus is well maintained including the hostels and other amenities such as a library, auditorium, academic block, etc. The best part about the infrastructure is 24X7 available. Wi-Fi and an air-conditioner in summer are also available. The hygiene and tidiness are well taken care of. The mess offers a diverse range of food.
Faculty: Teachers in this college are good. A few of the teachers seem to be not so fit for the position however the majority of the teaching staff is well qualified and well experienced. The teaching staff is very helpful and prioritizes the education of the students.
Other: A student would never feel short of the events that are organized, be it cultural or be it academic. Every student will find an event that shall suit students and nobody is left out. The seniors are helpful in this college.

RGNUL, Best Campus with Quality Education!
Placements: Around 60% of students are placed, and the average package is around 12-15 lakhs. As a tier 2 National Law University, almost all major firms come to campus for recruitment. You can join firms, corporate offices, pursue litigation, or prepare for competitive exams. The college provides opportunities for the same.
Infrastructure: The college has one of the best infrastructures in the National Law Universities. The campus area is around 50 acres with all the facilities inside the campus only. We have shops, a library (one of the largest single-subject libraries in Asia), a health center, and the best sports facilities available in any National Law University.
Faculty: Faculty members are very qualified and knowledgeable; almost every faculty has completed their doctorate or is currently pursuing it through the university's Ph.D. program. The teaching quality is excellent, and the curriculum is very relevant. I am pursuing a 5-year integrated B.A. LL.B. program, and the B.A. course is completed in the first year only. The next four years focus solely on law.
Other: National Law Universities are like IITs for law; the selection process is tough, and therefore, its degree is very valuable for law.

Q:   Can I get The Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, BA LLB (Hons) with a 76 percentage in 12th class?

A: 

Yes, with a 76 percentile in your 12th class, you have a chance of being admitted to the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL), BA LLB (Hons). Your chances, however, will be based on how well you do on the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) as well as how competitive the year is overall.

The main criterion taken into account for admission to the BA LLB (Hons) programme at RGNUL is the CLAT. It is still possible to get into a university with a little lower 12th class percentage if you have a great CLAT score.

To create a shortlist of candidates for the personal interview (PI) stage, your percentage from your 12th grade will be used. Still, your admittance is not decided by the percentage alone.
The admissions procedure gives more weight to your CLAT score. A little lower 12th class percentage can be made up for with a good CLAT score.

You will receive an invitation to a PI if you are selected for further consideration. Your legal aptitude, communication abilities, and general programme fit are evaluated by the PI. You should concentrate on attaining a good CLAT score in order to improve your chances of being admitted to RGNUL, especially considering your 76 percent in 12th class. To establish oneself as a formidable contender, aim for a CLAT score in the upper percentile.

Remember that admission is difficult, and having a high CLAT score does not ensure admission. However, you can greatly increase your chances of being accepted into RGNUL's BA LLB (Hons) programme with a solid CLAT score and a well-prepared PI.
