Satisfied with the overall experience.

Placements: HPNLU placements are improving. It is average as compared to other NLUs. Students often depend upon internships and off-campus opportunities. HPNLU can be a good choice for students who are proactive, hardworking, and willing to create opportunities beyond campus placement.

Infrastructure: HPNLU provides a good infrastructure with well-equipped classrooms, a library, and an e-library with access to various resources and legal databases. The hostel facilities are decent. Basic amenities and a safe environment is provided. The campus provides a comfortable atmosphere for academic learning and student life.

Faculty: The LL.M. faculty at HPNLU is knowledgeable and supportive and encourages research-oriented learning. The curriculum is well structured. Semester examinations are conducted on time. They are moderately difficult. It focuses on conceptual understanding, analytical skills, and application of legal principles.

HPNLU – A rising centre of legal excellence in the hills.

Placements: Trust me, there are few placements in HPNLU as the placement cell is still trying and maturing, and also only a small number of companies visit campus. Mostly, students obtain internships/placements outside the campus process. If you are joining HPNLU, expect decent placement opportunities.

Infrastructure: HPNLU is one of the newer NLUs, established in 2016, and the facilities here are good, consisting of a sports complex, moot court halls, and hostel expansion. The library is great and also provides digital resources such as Manupatra, SSC online, etc. The classrooms consist of smart classes and have high-speed connectivity in both university and hostel. Hostel rooms are well-equipped, and there is also a canteen and café in the campus area. The campus also provides medical services and ambulance service, along with open badminton and basketball courts, a sports room for indoor games. However, the mess food here is bad.

Faculty: The faculty here are very helpful and have an open-door policy. They are approachable for doubts and mentoring. Most faculty encourage discussions in class. The Dean (Academics) and faculty coordinators regularly meet students to address academic issues. Exams are considered moderate to difficult, designed to test analytical and case law applications rather than rote learning.

Other: I chose this course because I have interest in social science subjects and also come from a humanities background. The faculty here is very great, which makes this course more interesting. There are not many events held every year, but a sports fest called DRONA is held, along with freshers, foundation days, and pre-Holi parties, depending on the Student Enrichment Cell.

Absolutely satisfying curriculum and facilities according to the terrain and age of the university.

Placements: 50% of students got placements. The lowest package is around 5 LPA, and the highest package is around 18 LPA, including PPO. Luthra and Luthra company hire students from the college. Almost everyone got internships in government ministries and law firms like Trilegal and Luthra and Luthra. Top roles offered are litigation, judiciary, corporate, etc., and we can choose them according to our interests.

Infrastructure: Himachal Pradesh National Law University provides a good environment for students. There are all the necessary resources and facilities for students. It has facilities like Wi-Fi in the university as well as in hostel premises. There is also a facility of a common room, a mess area, and a sports room. All classes are smart classes.

Faculty: All teachers in the college are qualified and knowledgeable. Most of them are PhD holders in their subjects. The environment of the college is so supportive. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are difficult, and they show the level of the college. The pass percentage is 45%.

Other: I chose this course because it fits with our future work, and I want to pursue a career in the judiciary. Everything is good, and I don't think there is any space for improvement.

A university on the seventh heaven.

Placements: The offer percentage given to the individuals is good but most students apply individually for jobs as those are more lucrative. In terms of the highest package it was 18 Lacs and the minimum was 5 lacs, maybe, further internships it is done on a basis, while the college will notify from time to time about the internship, if the student has a better alternative, then he/she can take it.

Infrastructure: In terms of infrastructure, I can say it is not good for boys as hostels are private rental buildings for boys, but for girls, hostels are made inside the campus. Further, the food is selected by a student committee made of all the years of students as well as a faculty member. Medical facilities are not available inside the campus but there is an ambulance from which the student can go to the nearest hospital and have a free checkup.

Faculty: Now, in terms of teachers, I can say that they know more than enough about their subjects and the knowledge given is best, further about the semester exams there are 6 subjects in the first year and then 5 in the 2nd year. There is a mid-semester exam of 25 marks, then 25 marks for assignments, and then 50 marks for the semester exam The difficulty is medium, anyone can pass them spectacularly if they have prepared for it.

Satisfied, pretty place with peaceful sceneries, good placements and decent infrastructure.

Placements: Placements are good. The main thing is one bakes their own cake. The university was established in 2016, a less number of batches have passed but the placements are good. If one is dedicated enough, he/she can easily achieve good placement. Now the university is growing and soon the quality of placement will improve. The average package is of 16 LPA.

Infrastructure: Girls' hostels are amazing, with all the facilities. Boys' hostels are average because electric items are not allowed, but are pretty spacious. The girls' hostels are located on campus, and the boys' hostels are located outside. A fine is imposed in the boys' hostel for keeping electronic items. A fine can range from Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 15, 000.

Faculty: Faculty members are good, but some are not up to the mark. Overall, it is great. The teaching quality is good, and the curriculum is relevant. Exams are moderate to difficult, but one can easily ace with proper study and schedule. Teachers are helpful and qualified.

Other: Zero campus life and the crowd is average. I wish the campus life could be better. The only big event is DRONA, the sports fest.

Good faculty. Mostly academic-centric. No fests. Placement opportunities needed.

Placements: Honestly, the college does not provide any guarantee for placements. Not more than 8% of the total students receive placements (if provided). Some companies that have provided placement opportunities are Athena Legal, Singh and Associate. The maximum package was around Rs 8 Lacs per annum.

Infrastructure: Facilities are average. The hostels provided for the girls are fine. The one for boys needs a lot of improvement. Food quality becomes average when the faculty receives a lot of complaints; otherwise, it's bad. The Wi-Fi facility also needs improvement as work gets delayed due to poor connectivity.

Faculty: Though the teachers are good and well-educated, the opportunities provided by the college are quite limited as it's situated in a remote area. The exams are of moderate to difficult level. 85% of the students easily pass the semesters. The papers are set in such a manner to test our overall understanding of the subject.

Other: There are no fests here. It’s a purely academic-centric college. I chose this college because I wanted to be in an NLU. Improvements should be made in the area of having more extracurricular activities like fests, etc. Also, improvement in the hostel and mess facilities is needed. The best thing about the course is that the teachers here are willing to help us out and are good in their respective subjects.
