B.A. LL.B. - Batch of 2026
Offered by Heritage Law College

Good learning atmosphere with impressive infrastructure and supportive environment.
Placements: We have an entrance exam for admission to our colleges under the University of Calcutta. My total package is Rs. 3,21,000, but the new package is Rs. 41,000. Almost all of our students have had internship opportunities at good law firms in Kolkata. Our college organised a farewell ceremony for our passing out batch.
Infrastructure: Academic facilities include solid Wi-Fi across the campus, computer labs, and a moot court hall. Seminar rooms and a few hill spots where students hang out between classes. The campus also has enough green areas to sit and study or just relax, which adds to the atmosphere. Our college provides its own hostel. The hostel rooms are very clean and beautiful. The food is quite good, and hygiene rules are being followed. Our canteen's food is so good. There are different varieties of foods. Our college also provides medical facilities, sports, and games.
Faculty: Our faculty are very helpful, well-qualified and knowledgeable. Most teachers have PhD degrees. Even though each teacher has their own style, almost all of them try to include case law discussions, class debates, or small activities so we don't get bored with only theory. The teacher-student ratio is pretty decent. There are 9 semester exams and one practical exam. To pass the semester, you need to get 30% marks.
Other: I always had an interest in debating, understanding how laws work, and basically figuring out why things in society are the way they are. I chose the integrated B.A. LL.B. Course because I wanted a strong base in social sciences along with the legal subjects, and this programme gives both. I picked Heritage Law College mainly because of its reputation for moots, internships, and a decent faculty lineup. The administration is supportive, whether it's academic support, career guidance, or extracurricular activities. There are seminars, workshops, competitions, cultural programs, and of course, the big annual fest, which is usually the main highlight.

My experience at Heritage Law College.
Placements: The minimum percentage of students who get placed from my course is 90 percent. The package vary. As law students, we can choose different career paths, and the package depends on that. Almost 95 percent of students got internships and later got hired by multiple big companies like Infosys and big law firms all over India. Also, the post-graduation acceptance rate in various prestigious universities is high.
Infrastructure: Different facilities like the library, moot court, and seminar halls are available. We have a well-curated library available for every student. Also well-lit and air-conditioned big classrooms are available, well-equipped with materials needed for high-tech education. The hostels are hygienic and affordable for students, with three meals a day and snacks provided. Also, we have various canteens providing healthy, hygienic, and affordable food around the campus.
Faculty: Our faculty members are highly educated and experienced in their respective fields. They are very helpful and friendly and always available to help us quench our curiosity and solve any problem we might have regarding our academics. The curriculum is very in-depth and well articulated, which helps us in real-life scenarios. Other than semester exams, we also have numerous class tests, viva, and moot courts, which not only prepare us for final exams but also help us in our careers.
Other: The course and exams are well curated, but the only improvement I suggest is more real-life experiences.

Modern infrastructure, strong CU affiliation, and decent corporate placements with activities.
Placements: It emphasizes having a solid base of Accounting & Finance. Admission is open strictly according to 10+2 marks in merit. The course fee is approximately 2.8-3.0 Lacs total. The college claims modern infrastructure and an active placement cell. Recruiters include companies like Deloitte and Amazon, and job roles exist in the finance and corporate sectors. It's preferred by students pursuing professional courses like CA, CS, or MBA. The package offered is 2.1 LPA to above 9 LPA.
Infrastructure: The commerce department and college give us a personal canteen for commerce students and one more canteen for engineering students, and we have 2 labs for commerce and engineering. We have many options for food with good quality and a reasonable price, and we have Wi-Fi facility, but access is only for faculty members. We have football, cricket, tennis, a football playground, etc. There is a girls' hostel only for boys for local sports, an event game happens every year.
Faculty: The teachers are well qualified with experience and they motivate, give personal guidance, mentor, and some subject is not revealed, like ENVS, CVA, etc. These are old, but some faculty are friendly and focus on every student, we understand the Calcutta University, so it makes us challenging to score well in exams and college.
Other: I chose B.Com (Hons), and I chose this college because it gives us more practical activities with proper study, a sports club, events, practical learning like photography, drama, games, entrepreneurship development, and more.
