Really good infrastructure very good faculty.
Placements: Presently I'm in 1st year of my graduation. 1st semester I'm from bba ll.B. Hons. I guess placements will be good enough from now because ranking of the university was going and most of the people got internship in one or the other place and we all have internship coordination committee here in the university which look after internship.
Infrastructure: When it comes to infrastructure I was ultimately superb. We have well-equipped classrooms with digital boards and air conditioned. Seating criteria was very liberal. University Wi-Fi is available, library was good. When it comes to hostel they provide cooler, fan, light, study table, chair, wardrobe and bed. We need to adjust and habituate for the food because we came from different regions of the country and all facilities were good and sports equipment and facilities need to be upgraded.
Faculty: When it comes to faculty they are very friendly and very much supportive. We have two semesters per year. Full day classes from 9 30 am to 4 pm. Teachers are very approachive and they are very experienced and we can get very knowledgeable when we traveling with them. Teacher try to explain very practically when it comes to teaching. Pass percentage is 50%. Semesters are not tough when we understand the subject. We enjoy while learning both law and business parallel.
Other: I choose it as I want to be a coperate business person or legal advise in corporate. It will be very helpful for me when I was learning law and business simultaneously. Events, fest are very enjoyable. Senior are very connective and mainly no ragging is allowed in the campus and also in hostel.

Student Life at MNLU Nagpur.
Placements: At least 10-12 students were placed. The lowest package was 7 LPA, and the highest was 19 LPA. Various law firms, including Diwani and more, conduct placements for our university. Nearly everyone gets an internship under various advocates, judges, and firms.
Infrastructure: The college provides excellent facilities, including Wi-Fi, courtrooms, and a library, all of top-notch quality and digitally accessible. The hostels are excellent, with modern amenities like sensor-activated taps and air conditioning.
Faculty: The professors are qualified and helpful, but sometimes it feels that there could be more qualified or better professors available. The course curriculum is relevant and prepares students for the legal profession. Semester exams are quite tough due to strict marking criteria, but 80% of students still pass.
Other: This is a traditional course that has been offered for a long time, making it well-established and refined.

Our college has a good placement record.
Placements: The college has a decent placement record, with the highest package reaching ₹22 Lacs per annum and the lowest around ₹3 Lacs per annum. Approximately 85% of students secure jobs or internships through the placement process. Popular roles offered include software engineer, data analyst, and management consultant, reflecting a diverse range of opportunities for graduates. Last year, the median package was ₹7 Lacs, and almost 80% of students got placed.
Infrastructure: Everything is great here. The canteen serves clean and healthy food, and the medical facilities are good. We have a wide range of books in the library, and there are plenty of sports activities for everyone. The Wi-Fi and network connection work well, making it easy to get things done. Plus, the environment is comfortable and supportive, and the community here is really friendly.
Faculty: Overall, the teachers are good, and some really try to guide students for their future careers. The courses are okay but could be improved to make them better. I would rate the job readiness at around 7 out of 10. The exams are usually of medium difficulty, but sometimes they can be hard. The passing rate is probably around 40 to 50%, I think.

NLU, Nagpur is not for beginners.
Placements: I am in my fifth semester. And we have 120 B.A. students. The remaining courses are BBA and LL.B. Both the LL.B. and adjudication batches have 60 students each. The university has a dedicated placement cell that assists students in obtaining internships and job placements at top law firms, corporations, and government agencies. Last year, the TRILEGAL offered the highest package of 16 LPAs.
Infrastructure: The campus has many modern amenities, such as a well-stocked library, moot court halls, and advanced classrooms. We currently have the largest campus among the several NLUs, at 64 acres. We also have world-class hostels on campus, with separate facilities for boys and girls. The hostels are very clean, and there is a gym and common room.
Faculty: NLU, Nagpur, has both experienced and young faculty members who are well-versed in their fields. Yes, they are industry-ready. Students here work hard as well. As a newer institution, the range of specialized courses and electives is more limited than that of NLUs. Furthermore, the course curriculum is exceptionally well-designed. Because semester exams are more difficult, there are more diligent students, and the passing rate is 70%.
Other: I am a fifth-semester student who chose B.A. LL.B. because the faculty is more experienced than the other two courses. The university encourages and provides a variety of opportunities for students to engage in legal research and publication, as well as a well-equipped library and access to online legal databases, among other things. The university also organizes debates, seminars, and various sports and cultural festivals. Only one thing bothers me here: the administration, which causes everyone to experience delays in various processes.

Campus Life filled with fun at MNLU.
Placements: Mnlu is quite a new college established in 2014, and hence not many firms come for placements. Despite being a new NLU, it has done tremendously well in securing a few top-notch law firms like Trilegal and Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas. Also, mostly students look after their placements themselves in their own CVs.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure at our college is very good. Especially hostels are well-equipped with all modern amenities. All the rooms are double-sharing rooms, and each room has curtains, 2 beds, 2 study table, 2 cup boards, 4 almirahs, 1 cloth stand, 1 dustbin, Wi-Fi, etc. There are washing machines on each floor and a common gym .
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and are achievers in their field. They are friendly and are ready to solve doubts even after classes in their chambers. Further, there is this CDC known as the Curriculum Development Committee, which updates the curriculum each year and hence keeps it according to the needs of the hour.
Other: 1. Superb mooting culture you get all the reimbursement for your mortgage expenses 2. You get reimbursement for your ADR expenses and debating expenses for the competition allotted by committees and hence there is a good mooting and debating culture here 3. Campus Life is marvelous you get to witness 2 cultural festivals, namely sanskarotsav and Lawkriti, and a sports festival named sportacus.
