Government Law College, Thiruvananthapuram - A journey of a law student.

Placements: I am in the 2021-2026 batch. Now I am in 4th year. I opted for a 5 years integrated B.A. LL.B. course. The average salary offered is Rs. 25,000-30,000 per month. Around 20-25% of students get placed. Other students do not want placements. Most of the students prefer litigation. Others are preparing for competitive exams like state, PSC, UPSC, SSC, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good. There are different classrooms. The hostel is situated in the compound of the college campus. There is a three-floored hostel with a big mess hall, study room, reading room, etc. A mess, warden, and day/night watchman are there in the hostel.

Faculty: Faculty members of my college are qualified. Their teaching methods are really nice. They are very supportive and helpful. The course curriculum is relevant. Students are highly trained to become future lawyers. Many academic activities like moot court competitions, national seminars, MUN etc., are conducted for students' benefit.

Other: I chose this course because I want to become a good lawyer. This course helps me to know about how the laws in our country will work. There are also many events conducted in my college. The campus fest is also conducted like law and literature fests.

Government Law College, Thiruvananthapuram.

Placements: Placements are very poor. The college is now trying its best to bring companies and firms for placements. The work has started and it's going well. But as of now, the placements are not good. The students themselves try to get jobs, and teachers do help with it, but the college does not provide placements.

Infrastructure: The library is huge with numerous law texts, case laws, and everything. The library has Wi-Fi, and students can use it. The college has a ladies' hostel within its premises, and the fee is very affordable. Students from the 2nd year are given admission to the hostel.

Faculty: The course curriculum is relevant and contains all necessary things to make students ready. The semester exams are moderate, with a good pass percentage from the college. The teachers here are qualified, and they provide good assistance in our academics.

Other: The campus has many events and fests organized by student organizations. Academic competitions like moot court, ADR, etc., are also conducted here. The course is very relevant in society, and it’s very important for every citizen to have a basic knowledge of law.

Best Government Law College in Kerala.

Placements: Government Law College, Thiruvananthapuram, is the best government law college in Kerala. This college provides students with a unitary 3-year course and an integrated 5-year course. Students must complete their internships within the time period of the course.

Infrastructure: As the college is 150 years old, the infrastructure is poor. The college lacks an auditorium, ground, etc. However, there is a hostel facility available for girls coming from the north of Kerala. The college also has a good cafeteria providing breakfast, lunch, and snacks. There are no sports facilities available.

Faculty: Most of the faculty members here are Ph.D. holders. They are really friendly with the students and will help in any situation. They will groom us for many things like MOOTs and MUNs. For the integrated five-year LL.B., there are 10 semesters (2 per year). For the unitary LL.B., there are 6 semesters. Semester exams are pretty easy, but the pass percentage is pretty low. It is usually around 60 to 70 percent.

Other: I chose this college as it is the only government college that provides the B.A. LL.B. course in Kerala. The campus here is really beautiful. There is no ragging. It is definitely a scenic campus. Evenings are very beautiful. Infrastructure is the one thing that could be improved. The annual fee is 1500.

Sarkar Vaka Niyama Kalalayam.

Placements: There is a placement cell which only started last year, and the companies that came in were mass recruiters. The faculty in charge simply do not like holding placement drives as they lack the ambition for it and are afraid of the workload it brings.

Infrastructure: It is a 150-year-old college, so is the infrastructure, and the library is somewhat okay. In all this, there is no boys' hostel; they are situated in the university men's hostel 1 km away, and the girls' hostel is on the verge of falling down, as it is also 150 years old.

Faculty: The faculty is really meritorious and capable, but is only interested in taking salary and not teaching. They would rather play workplace politics. The curriculum is outdated, with paper records still being used. And the exams are delayed, with a final year student writing his third-semester exams before appearing for the viva.

I heartily recommend Our for those who are beginners in the career of law.

Placements: Our College is good for starting career. It has a good placement cell providing great career opportunities. Many of the top companies like Microsoft, Google and Wipro were approaching our students for the job opportunities like legal advisory. There are so many notable alumnies from here and it helps us to connect with top law firms for internship opportunities. The top roles offered by our Course are litigation, legal adivisor, teaching professions and other government jobs.

Infrastructure: The college has old and new classrooms that are large enough for 80 people. There is only a hostel inside the college and it is only for ladies. It is a very old building and the maximum capacity is to accommodate 100-150 students but it is an affordable choice for the stay of the students. Other facilities like quality of food and canteen etc. are good there. But there is no Wi-Fi and sports facilities.

Faculty: The teachers in our College are helpful qualified and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is also good. Moot courts, Legal survey and internship are very important in our curricular activities. The college is affiliated to Kerala University and the semester exams were moderate in the previous years.

Other: There are so many reasons for choosing this career. Lawyer is a job which is always in demand and highly payable and it is also a highly respected professions.

College is worth for the money. You'll never regret your choice to join this college.

Placements: The government law college, Thiruvananthapuram has a placement cell which gives placement assistance to students. This cell conducts seminars and workshops regularly like meeting the legal advisers of Infosys and other marketing companies. College offers legal internships with various legal associates based in Delhi and several high courts. Overall the placement assistance in our college is better.

Infrastructure: College doesn't provide free Wi-Fi to students which is one of the main drawbacks of infrastructure. College building also lacks necessary amenities. Continuous conferences and meetings are held to solve these issues. Ladies hostel is inside the college campus and it can allot only a few number of students. It creates a problem for many students who are from far districts or states. College library is well-maintained and we can avail free subscription of SCC online and manupatra.

Faculty: Faculty members are well-disciplined and educated. Most faculty members are Ph.D. holders. They also provide assistance in other curricular activities like articles, writing, etc. Their behavior towards students are really good. The course curriculum is also well-maintained and undergo changes according to time. Semester exams are not organized. Exams are delayed. We have to write first-semester exam while we study for our third semester. But it gradually comes into position when the semester moves towards the end.

Other: I chose this course and college for its ambiance and exposure. College conducts various programs like campus fest, Holi, Onam, Christmas, and Sakshya - it's a program conducted by a well-known band group. College ambiance scenery is good and relaxing. Course fees are very low compared to other colleges. We have to pay only Rs. 9,000 during admission and Rs. 5,000 below per year. Hostel fees are also very less only Rs. 3,000 per month including food and free Wi-Fi.
