Hostel is really good and the campus culture is the best.

Placements: 50 per cent of the batch gets placed. the highest package was 13 Lacs per annum. Ernst and young and ICICI were the top recruiters. Many people do not sit for placements but off campus is really good. Opportunities are in abundance in the college. Our alumni base is large spread all over the country.

Infrastructure: Food in the mess is really good with a lot of variety. The canteen would be operational soon accommodation is really good transport is a problem you will find decent hotels and restaurants nearby. Sports facilities are really good the sports committee is really active.

Faculty: The faculty is good. They will help you not only as a teacher but as mentor as well. Most of them are PhD and we'll verse in their subjects. The curriculum teaches you 60 dynamic subjects and corporate culture is really nice.

NUALS has adequate facilities, faculty and placements.

Placements: The college does have a placement cell, but its efficiency is quite limited, and the campus placements are pretty low. Federal Bank, ICICI Bank, and a few law firms in Kochi are the regular recruiters. That being said, students from NUALS do get PPOs at reputed law firms, including the Big 6, like Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas (CAM), Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas (SAM), Khaitan & Co., Trilegal etc. They join the firms as trainee associates and legal officers, mostly dealing with due diligence and consultation at the banks. Some students even excel their freelance works. Some pursue higher studies in the US, UK and reputed colleges within India. NUALS has had a Rhodes Scholar in the past as well. Around 60% of the students do bag a good job at the end of their course. The highest package offered was around 20 Lacs per annum in 2019, by ICICI Bank. A sizeable number of students from the remaining opted for litigation and did great at that.

Infrastructure: The college has an above-average infrastructure and is rapidly developing. The new VC, Dr K.C Sunny, has a keen focus on the same. The college currently has a centrally air-conditioned seminar hall, a huge auditorium, an A-V media room, which is usually used for international seminars and an open-air theatre (though that is largely abandoned as of now), a football ground that also doubles up as the cricket ground, and a basketball court. Only basic sports facilities are available. There are elevators in the academic block, admin block, and the girls' hostel (4 floors), but the boys' hostel does not as it is a 3-floor building. A new moot court hall was built in 2019. The college has a decent Wi-Fi facility which offers great speed when available, but it often gets disrupted. Classrooms are spacious enough and have a mic and adequate speakers. There are projectors in each classroom. However, there is no AC in the classes, and Kerala summers can be quite hot and humid. The library is adequate with a decent collection of books of all subjects, and new books are being added every subsequent year. There is a dedicated A/C study room as well within the library. The hostel rooms are mostly shared by 3 students. The rooms in the main hostels are quite spacious. The annex building rooms though, which are usually allotted to fresher boys, are very crammed and get really hot and suffocating in summers. There has been news that those are going to be converted to guest rooms and all students are going to be shifted to the main hostel. There is a new hostel building under construction. Each student is given a table, chair, almirah and bed. There is an attached washroom in each room. The room and washroom are cleaned twice a week. Laundry service is also available twice a week at a reasonable charge. The hostel curfew timing is 11 pm, and the campus curfew is at 9 pm. There is no room curfew. The hostel matrons in the girls' hostel do indulge in a lot of moral policing. The food in the hostel mess is comparatively very good and includes vegetarian and non-vegetarian in the menu. The menu is decided by the students' mess committee itself, and thus, there is a good mix of South Indian and North Indian food in the menu. The menu is revised every now and then. Milk and egg are available on demand. The canteen is contract-based, and therefore, the food quality depends on who runs it in a given year. The canteen has been good and bad in different years. There are only minimal

Faculty: The faculty is a mixed bag. Half of them are really well qualified and take a keen interest in teaching, while the remaining are pretty bad and unqualified. There indeed is a shortage of good professors, and the university is making do with interim contractual lecturers, who aren't well qualified or knowledgeable enough. But the permanent faculty are up to date and engage with the students quite well. The college is adopting new and intuitive pedagogical methods in order to make the learning experience more fun and fruitful. The curriculum is well distributed, but I would say that NUALS doesn't focus on commercial law well enough. Company law for instance, which is the core subject for corporate law, is crammed into one single semester, which can be quite too much. However, the elective subjects are well-curated and make up for it. Hence, if the student is self-aware and knows which field to pursue, then the student can pick his/her subjects of interest in the 4th and 5th years and make the best out of it. The compulsory internships after each semester also encourage the students to gain practical knowledge on their subject of interest.

Other: I chose this course with my passion in law and the opportunity it gives me to contribute to society on a direct and day-to-day basis. The course at NUALS is mostly well designed to equip one with the basic knowledge of all fields of law. I wish the college had a better crafted commercial law programme though. The peer is also great, and you get to learn a lot through active discourse and debate with each other. The college hosts a multitude of seminars, webinars, colloquiums, panel discussions, etc., involving eminent personalities of respective subjects. Other than that, the college hosts an annual fest called NAALAM, which attracts students mostly from Kerala and also some colleges from outside the state for various events such as fashion show, group dance, acting, quizzing, and such. NAALAM, since 2018, is popular as an indigenous hip-hop incubator. The college is known for its mooting and quizzing culture. We have had many students winning various international moots, including Stetson Environmental law moot, FDI Moot, Manfred Lachs, ICC Moot etc. Students also consistently win in the reputed national moots such as the Christ Moot, B.R. Sawhney Moot, GNLU International Trade Law Moot, RMLNLU Media Moot and Jamia Milia Islamia moot among others. The college hosts the annual NUALS Maritime Law Moot. Students from NUALS have won the regional rounds of the reputed TATA Crucibles Campus Quiz in the past. The college also hosts an annual Parliamentary Debate competition in British Parliamentary Debate format with a huge pool of prizes and attracts teams from all over India. The university publishes various law journals, including the annual flagship journal of NUALS, the NUALS law journal. Other recurring publications from NUALS include the NUALS IP Law Review, NUALS IBC Newsletter, NUALS IP Blog, NUALS Restructuring and Insolvency as Journal, NUALS Constitutional Studies Review, NUALS Constitutional Studies Blog, NUALS Environmental Law Blog and NUALS Securities Newsletter among others. The campus crowd is vibrant and very interactive. Students are very cooperative, and one gets all the help and guidance needed from seniors. There is a good inter-batch relationship. The students are mostly inclusive, and one can find students of political, religious and ideological beliefs. There exists an overall positive outlook towards the LGBTQ+ community as well, and many identify themselves as allies as well. There is a NUALS Queer Collective page on Instagram as wel

Review of The National University of Advanced Legal Studies.

Placements: Placements in our college are still at a growing stage. The number of students placed is growing from only a handful of students. Three years ago there were around 23 students who got placed from a batch of 120. Banks and firms have arrangements with the Placement Cell, which is still mostly student-run for the time being. The next step is to create a proper placement body with staff.

Infrastructure: There are spacious hostels with triple-occupancy rooms and attached bathrooms with showers. Mess is inside the respective hostels and relatively is one of the best messes around with the respect to quality of food served and it is student controlled. Library is well-equipped with many books and resources. It has air-conditioned & non-air-conditioned areas. There were basketball courts, football ground, cricket training pitch, volleyball court, table tennis room, and a gym. The canteen provides options for food, and there were more options just 50 meters outside, as well as there were good options from delivery apps.

Faculty: Almost all the permanent faculty members have a doctorate. They are cooperating and very helpful. The fourth-year provides elective subjects for those interested in criminal law, corporate law, or constitutional law, as their honors. A new system of pedagogy has been introduced to make the learning experience more student-engaging.

Other: Every batch conducts a particular annual event such as the arts day competition festival, intercollegiate competition fest, parliamentary debate, MUN, etc. There was a thriving presence of co-curricular and arts programs every week. There were regular mooters and debaters, and the college provides opportunities to compete outside. The course is perfect for a law student who wishes to explore their options and decide their specialization as well as stay connected to their co-curricular talents and hobbies.

It is a very good campus with good infrastructure and facilities but average campus placements.

Placements: Almost 20% of the students of the present final year batch got placed. The highest salary package offered is 13 LPA, the lowest salary package offered is 7 LPA and the average salary package offered is 10 LPA. Companies like Khaitan & Co. Thomson Reuters and Federal Bank are the top recruiters of our college. Students are offered with roles like legal associate and junior associate. Almost 100% of the students got an internship from our course in different prestigious companies and law firms as well as with eminent lawyers and judges.

Infrastructure: We have free campus Wi-Fi. They provide well-maintained classrooms with projector and a huge and well-maintained library with a huge collection of books. We also have access to different online resources such as Manupatra, SCC Online, etc. Mess food is good, and the quality of the food served is also good. The hostel is neat and tidy, which are cleaned by the staffs on a regular basis.

Faculty: The course curriculum is very much relevant, and there is not much stress on students in academics. Teachers here are well-qualified with PhD and doctorates. They are also very friendly with the students. Some faculty members are not up to to the mark and are biased like any other universities.

Other: NUALS is one the 16 national law universities in India. Admission to the university is on the basis of Common Law Admission Test. We have a good faculty team overall, with some of them being excellent. We also have a sitting High Court judge as a faculty for the Law of Civil Procedure. There does, however, exist some faculty members that are not so at par with the rest. There exists a brilliant mooting culture in the university, which is spearheaded by the Moot Court society that conducts an internal moot court the beginning of every year. The debate society and forum help students to participate in internal as well as external debates. There are about 14 centers of learning which undertake research on various specialized areas of law and conduct seminars, bring out their journals, organize legal aid clinics etc. The cultural activities in the campus are many, including arts and sports days, hostel day and an inter college arts fest we host every year called NAALAM. The hostels have only 3-person rooms and some students are now housed in a dormitory too. However, the food served in the hostel mess is of good quality.

However, one must not come to this college hoping success will be a spoon-fed.
