GNLU - Great infrastructure and campus life.

Placements: Gujarat National Law University is a premier NLU that provides an average package of 12 LPA - 14 LPA. The highest package of GNLU is 20 LPA - 25 LPA. Placements are done at the end of the 8th semester, where tier-1 companies like Khaitan, CAM, SAM, Trilegal, AZB Partners, Saraf and Partners, and Alwar Thakur and Associates come for campus recruitment. Tier-2 companies also come for recruitment on day zero with in-house companies like Adani, Tata, ICICI Bank, and many more. GNLU also offers various internship opportunities to all the students in tier-1 and 2 firms.

Infrastructure: GNLU has a very good infrastructure. It has well air-conditioned classrooms and a library with all the teaching and study materials required by students for academics, moot, or any competition purposes. The library has over 1 lakh books and well-spaced tables for students to study and have group discussions.

Faculty: Teachers at GNLU are very experienced in their field of teaching. They are very approachable. They conduct expert lectures that provide real-world insights into the law and management to students. The exams are conducted every semester and are of moderate level.

Other: I had a keen interest in business and wanted to appear for the judiciary, therefore, I chose BBA LL.B. as my course. This course not only trains you in fundamental law subjects like CPC, BNS, BNSS, and the constitution but also trains you in accounting, business management, and economics.

The placements were pretty good here.

Placements: Approximately there are 100% placements in our college. Many students get paced in firms like Amarchand Mangaldas, etc., as well as in foreign firms from our course. In spite of bookish knowledge, we also get a chance to interact with people and get a better knowledge of society.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of Gujarat National Law University is very well managed. If you visit the campus, you will really like it. The greenery of the college makes you like the college. The food served in GNLU is decent and far better than many other NLUs.
