Chandigarh University (CU)

All three are solid options with great campuses and placements, no doubt. But as a student who's researched a ton, I'd lean towards LPU—it's got that massive 600-acre vibe with NIRF rank 31 in 2025, killer infra like world-class labs and sports arenas, and super diverse crowd from everywhere.​
Chandigarh U rocks with strong research and international tie-ups, while Parul shines in Gujarat with affordable fees and practical focus. Still, LPU edges out for me with top placements (median 8 LPA for BTech), tons of scholarships, and courses in everything from engineering to Ayurveda.​
It depends on your course and budget, but LPU feels like the all-rounder for holistic growth without regrets

From the perspective of computer Science alone, I would favor LPU. The expansive campus, robust tech ecosystem, and exposure you get here are what truly stand out as a student. In addition to a variety of CSE specializations, such as AI, ML, Data Science, Cloud Computing, etc., LPU offers coding clubs, hackathons, real-world projects, and frequent industry encounters that genuinely help you develop abilities beyond theory. Opportunities for internships and placements are also very busy, and you frequently witness seniors being given opportunities with reputable tech businesses. Chandigarh University is also good, but when it comes to computer science, LPU seems more practical, adaptable, and opportunity-rich.

Hi.

Academic Quality

• CU's Institute of Legal Studies (UILS) offers BA LLB (Hons.) and other integrated programs.

• Faculty is generally qualified, and the curriculum includes theory + practical exposure (moot courts, internships, legal aid).

• Pros: Good for building foundational knowledge, research skills, and legal writing.

• Cons: Faculty and research culture are not on par with National Law Universities (NLUs) or top public law schools.

Campus, Infrastructure & Student Life

• State-of-the-art campus with smart classrooms, moot halls, library, and co-curricular clubs.

• Vibrant campus life and legal societies/moot court clubs provide practical exposure.

• Good for students seeking a holistic campus experience alongside academics.

Internships & Practical Exposure

• Moot court competitions, legal aid, ADR clubs, advocacy workshops available.

• Internship support exists, but top-tier law firm placements are limited.

• For litigation or judiciary careers, practical exposure is sufficient, but networking and proactive efforts are necessary for high-profile opportunities.

Placements & Career Opportunities

• CU organizes placement drives, but law-specific placement statistics are moderate.

• Students often pursue internships, judiciary prep, litigation, or LLM after graduation.

Affordability & Accessibility

• Tuition is affordable compared to private NLUs, and scholarships are available.

• If you cannot secure admission to NLUs or other top law schools, CU is a solid alternative with good infrastructure and exposure.

Hi.

Chandigarh University (CU) is a good choice for a B.A. LL.B. (or similar law degrees):

1. Academic Program & Curriculum

 CU's Institute of Legal Studies offers a structured BA LLB (Hons.) programme with theory and practical exposure (moot courts, internships). The curriculum is reported to be relevant and industry‑oriented with practical learning opportunities like mooting and legal aid.

 Students highlight that the law faculty is generally qualified and interactive, and that teaching covers both theory and practical legal skills fairly well. 

2. Infrastructure & Campus Life

Infrastructure is one of CU's the strongest points: large campus, smart classrooms, modern library, moot court halls, clubs, and events. 
 Hostel and campus facilities are often rated highly in reviews. 

Campus life is vibrant, with fests, seminars, and law‑related activities adding to the experience.

3. Internships & Practical Exposure

 Many students report internship support starting early in the course, and regular moot court competitions and practical sessions are conducted. 

This practical exposure is important, especially in law where skills like advocacy and legal drafting matter. 

4. Placement Scenario

Official reports and student reviews indicate mixed placement outcomes:

 Some reviews state an average package of around ₹6–8 LPA and even higher in some cases, with internships and offers from firms and corporations. 
 CU does offer placement drives and interviews, but many law students also choose litigation, judiciary preparation, or internships rather than campus placements. 
Top‑tier law firm placements are less predictable compared with National Law Universities (NLUs) — good performance and networking matter a lot. 

Hi.

Yes, Chandigarh University has several clubs, societies, and student‑led organizations specifically for law students, especially through its University Institute of Legal Studies (UILS). These groups help enhance practical skills, build networks, and offer co‑curricular experiences alongside classroom learning. 

1. Moot Court Society (MCS)

 A dedicated law student‑run society that organizes and manages moot court activities — including:

• National and intra‑university moot competitions

• Training in research, drafting, advocacy, and oral arguments

• Participation in external moot events
  This gives students practical exposure to real‑life legal argumentation and courtroom skills. 

2. ADR & Advocacy Clubs

• Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) clubs or advocacy forums are often active, allowing students to practise negotiation, mediation, client counselling, and dispute resolution simulations.

• These clubs help in understanding out‑of‑court dispute mechanisms, which are increasingly important in legal careers. 

3. Legal Aid & Pro Bono Groups

• Pro bono project groups or Legal Aid Cells work on community legal awareness campaigns, assisting people with legal information and support — a strong practical component of legal training.

• Participating in legal aid clubs improves communication, ethics, and social responsibility skills. 

4. Debates, Research & Youth Parliament Events

• Law students can participate in debate clubs, legal research initiatives, youth parliaments, and public speaking forums hosted by the institute.

• These platforms strengthen critical thinking, argumentation, and leadership skills.

• For example, the Youth Parliament: “Lead the Path to Viksit Bharat” is an event where law students debate public policy and legal issues. 

5. General Clubs Accessible to Law Students

While not law‑specific, many campus‑wide societies also enrich the law student experience:

• Debate Club

• Cultural and Literary Societies

• Music, Dance & Arts Clubs

• NCC/NSS Units
  These help law students balance professional development with broader co‑curricular engagement.
