Army Institute of Law

Hi Aditya,
Someone who studies there has said that:
Going by the rankings, India has around 1200 law colleges. Army Institute of Law has been consistently ranked in the top 20. The campus is quite small in comparison but manages to pack just enough facilities in order to get any law college up and running. It has two synthetic basketball courts, one volleyball court and also a field which doubles as a football/cricket ground. One major drawback is the library which is frankly, quite tiny but still fairly sufficient for a competent law school. The faculty is decent. They'll answer any kind of query with great enthusiasm and get to know you quite well both as a person as well as a student over the course of five years. The hostels, as well as the mess, are good. The one thing that AIL manages to always trump over national law schools is the quality of food. The authorities place a great weight on discipline. The hostel curfew is 8:50 PM for girls and 9:00 PM for boys and this followed very strictly. Compared to other national law schools, AIL has to go a long way. It all depends upon what you bring to the college and how you spend your hours after the 4:00 PM class.
