Colleges in Ahmedabad

Through my personal experiences, one thing is assured and that thing is, you will never regret getting admitted to the Institute of Law, Nirma University, and residing in Ahmedabad for five years. It's because of some unique features that make it preferable over many low-tier NLUs. Firstly, the culture on campus is highly professional and it helps in easily relating to work-life balances similar to corporate law firms. It is friendly and comfortable too i.e. Seniors, Professors, and Staff are very helpful and caring. Secondly, Moot and debate culture and their achievements give a glorious glimpse of competitiveness, growth, and a hardworking culture. Thirdly, the institute curriculum and timing keep you very much involved in the pedagogical studies throughout the semester. Fourthly, as a student, this institute benefits your overall development by giving you enough exposure to various fields. Sports, Literature, Drama, Moot Courts, Debates, MUNs, Researches, Dancing and Singing skills etc. It gives you ample opportunities to hone your skills. Fifthly, I believe that the highly developed city, of Ahmedabad, will transform your thought processes in many ways whereas other low-tier Nlus are located on the outskirts of the cities and have inadequate facilities and poor infrastructure and amenities which will hinder many growth variations as an adult especially in large span of five-year course for becoming future job ready.

In the SGR, Semester Grade Report provided to the students by the Nirma University, both the CPI and CGPA markings are given and they indicate two different levels of assessment of a student's performance in the semester.

If a student at ILNU fails in internal examinations i.e. CEE - written exams (mid-semester) or Project Work component (PW), will be marked IF (C) or (P) respectively in the course grade report. He will be given a chance before the End-semester examinations only after filling out an application form and requesting the course coordinator as well as the dean and director by framing a specific and valid reason. Otherwise, the overall grades would fall too. The minimum overall grade is 'C+' for any particular subject/course to clear it, otherwise, he/she would be marked NT (not term granted) which means he has to repeat that subject/course with fresh upcoming batches next year. 

If someone misses the internal exams like. any subject's mid-semester or end-semester exam, he/she will be given another opportunity to appear in the exam. In the case of CE Exams (mid-semester), the RE-CE exams are taken a week before the completion of the syllabus and it's free of cost. Whereas if anyone misses the SEE Exams (end-semester), he is given an opportunity in the form of Supplementary Exams (called SPE) to clear that particular course and it costs 500 Rupees per subject that you have missed. The RE-SEE or SPE exams are held in the first month of the upcoming semester once and if you fail, the next chance is given one week after the completion of the upcoming semester's end-semester examination.
