NUJS Kolkata UG, PG, Doctorate, Certificate Courses 2025

Yes the BA LLB at the West Bengal National University Of Juridical Sciences is better than the Faculty of Law.University of Calcutta 

The West Bengal National University of Juridicial sciences is a very good college it is one among top 4 law colleges and the faculty is also very good and knowledgeable and many of the professors have deep  knowledge on the subjects they teach and they are as good as the faculty of law at University of Calcutta which is the public university at Kolkata . The infrastructure and faculty and course structure are very relevant and very good at West Bengal National University of Juridicial sciences and would suggest it as a top priority for your law course.

With respect to academics, NUJS teaches students the updated version of law in accordance to recent legal developments. There is no rigid 'syllabus' which is taught although a basic framework is followed. This means that though certain basic themes are mandatorily discussed in a subject, professors have the leeway to discuss issues beyond the framework. This allows for professors to discuss recent happenings in the field of law as and when they happen and keep the students up to date in terms of their learning. On the other hand, since CU has a specific syllabus which is seldom updated, the scope of learning in the classroom is very limited and students are often not kept abreast of the latest legal developments. Further NUJS uses a mix of the Socratic method and case analysis for teaching which allows students to develop practical problem solving skills in comparison to Faculty of Law, CU which majorly focuses on theoretical teaching from the bare act. Moreover, in NUJS the academic calendar is strictly followed while there is no certainty as to the length of semesters or the duration or timing of exams in Faculty of Law, CU.

The infrastructure in NUJS is far better than that in Faculty of Law, CU. The NUJS campus undergoes regular renovation and repairs annually. Further both the boys and girls hostel are located on campus making it possible for students to study till late night in the library or prepare for moots, debates, paper presentations and other events. There is a laundry in the NUJS campus, microwaves on each floor in the hostel and an air-conditioned mess. NUJS also has a tie-up with Sports Authority of India allowing students to use professional level sports equipment and receive brilliant training in the sport of their choice (subject to them qualifying in the tests set by SAI)

As per NIRF report 2023, out of 82 students, 54 were placed during WBNUJS Kolkata LLM placements 2022. Earlier, out of 42 LLM graduates, 15 were placed during 2021 placements. From 2020 to 2022, an increasing trend was observed in the number of LLM students placed.

It is very good college for BA LLB.It is one of the top 4 law colleges in India and the course structure is very good and relevant and which will help you to take up your law career in future .The placement opportunities are also very good which will offer almost 100 percent placements .

There are ample number of activities which one can take part in. Students can take part in internal university rounds for debating and mooting, and participate in various prestigious moot courts and debates based on the rank that they acquire. First year students are always encouraged to try their hand in different events. There are numerous other events which take place in the university where one can take part which include but are not limited to poster painting, music, art, dance and poetry slam. Academic writing is also encouraged and students can send their papers and articles to journals or present them at a paper presentation. If one becomes a member of the NUJS Law Review, JILS or any other academic organization, they will be specifically trained and mentored by seniors who are accomplished in the field of academic writing.

The life at.West Bengal National University of Juridicial Sciences ia very good.The faculty is above par for majority of the papers. As for the fees it isn't significantly higher than that of other top NLUs. Yes, the size of the campus is not much but being at the heart of Kolkata we have access to all sorts of entertainment and of course good food! In-campus infrastructure is significantly improving as I write this, with wifi throughout the campus and air-conditioning (except hostels), the Kolkata humidity won't trouble you much. Administration is also efficient and most of the communications happen through emails.

Above all West Bengal NUJS has a very good atmosphere, with consistent performance over the years and exceptional seniors it is the best in the law circuit. The brand value of WBNUJS is something to be proud of for every student studying there and I have no doubt that WBNUJS will keep on improving!
