Ok, so without any further ado, let me tell you that life at an NLU is an eye opening experience. Indeed, college life is an experience of a life time but as a budding lawyer studying at a National Law University, the chances of being shaken to your core and being challenged in every aspect is very likely.
Here, one will learn (if one wishes to) how to balance academics and co-curricular activities. One will learn that time management is of utmost importance and while maintaining good grades consistently is important, debates and mooting should take an upper berth as they will help you to hone your oratory skills and bring out the lawyer in.
Law school will teach you to survive in the most pathetic conditions, to eat the most inedible food, to learn how to accommodate with people and their absurd attitudes and beliefs and often assimilate. Life at a NLU will shake your beliefs and challenge you intellectually. There will be people with whom one will share a life time of a bond and with others, it might be a more cordial relationship. Enemies might be there but that's when a lawyer's diplomacy comes to aid.
NLUs will give you plenty of opportunities to grow, if one wishes to grab them. Academic, culture, sports, debating, etc. everything will be there for everybody to decide what their forte is.
Basically, life in a NLU is simply amazing, magical and worth the pain and effort it takes to get in there.

Hello,
DY Patil law school has managed to earn a name for itself in few years of it's establishment. It also has a vibrant placement cell which is in touch with industry and hence is able to place students in different industries. A law graduate can get absorbed as a law officer in different companies. Many students are placed as interns in law firms as well as with reputed lawyers. Many students prefer to study further in some or the other specialisation. Then there are some students who want to start off on their own and want to practice in a court of law. All this and some more opportunities are provided / given to the students of D Y Patil law school by the active placement cell of the college which is apparently in touch with the industry to fathom it's requirement. All this makes this to be the right institute to study.

Hi,
The Department traces its origin to the establishment of the Y.W.C.A School of Social Work in 1946 at Lucknow. It was established by the Y.W.C.A of India, Burma and Ceylon, which later became National Y.W.C.A of India. It started a one year programme to give training in social work to the women who were demobilized by the Armed Services, known as the Womens Auxillary Corps of India, following the end of World War II in 1946.
The school started under the directorship of MS. Nora Ventura who was then the Secretary of Religious Education Committee of the Y.W.C.A, with two students - one from Sindh and the other from Bengal. Later in 1946 MS. Elmina Lucke, a noted social work educationist of considerable standing and experience, took over as Consultant Organizer of the School. In 1947 the school moved to Delhi and with the efforts of the then Vice Chancellor of University of Delhi Sir Maurice Gwyer; the old Air Force Barracks located on the corner of the Mall Road and 3 - University Road was given to the School.
Due to the initiatives and efforts of MS. Lucke, post-graduate programme was started which in 1948 was affiliated to the University of Delhi and the name was changed to Delhi School of Social Work. The school was then governed by a board, which included as members in the board were representatives from the Y.W.C.A, the Ministries of Education and Health and the University of Delhi. Dorothy Moses was appointed as the First Principal of the School. She was succeeded by M.S. Gore and S.N. Ranade as Principals of Delhi School of Social Work. D.S.S.W was taken over by University of Delhi in 1962 and became a post graduate institution maintained by the university. PhD programme was started in 1965 and in 1976 M. Phil Programme was introduced. In 1979 Delhi School of Social Work (DSSW) became the Department of Social Work, University of Delhi.

The level of difficulty in MA Economics is actually depends upon you. If you didn't have studied maths at 12th level or if you don't shows interest in mathematics then it would be very much difficulty for you (Difficulty level can be 09/10). Because maths is the essence part of economics. Without the knowledge of maths, you won't be able to find the 'Time Value of Money', Bond and Stock valuation, Price determination under different forms of market, Managerial Economics. All these requires higher level knowledge of calculus, algebra and probability. The concepts of differentiation and integration helps you to formulate the policies by knowing the maxima and minima. If you are from non-maths background, then I will recommend you take tuitions of advance maths for your better performance during college. Otherwise it will be very difficult for you.
I hope this helps.
Best of luck.

Hey,
Pursuing a diploma in any of the course has several benefits of its own. These range from getting additional insight into that area of law to plus point in CV which would further help in getting jobs. Most of the times these Certificate and diploma courses are offered by the institution in which you are studying or some external institution in collaboration with your college. And the best part about these is that they can be pursued simultaneously with the degree program that you are pursuing. For eg., you can pursue a certificate course in IPR related laws even when you are in your 3rd year or 4th year of LLB programs. The additional benefit of these courses is the insight that you get into the subject and your future job prospects in that area of law. So, if you pursue a certificate course in IPR, it would have a significant impact if you are looking for a career in the IPR related laws. And the interviewer would be generally interested in you as you would have additional knowledge in that area of law as compared to other colleagues.
