NUJS Kolkata Frequently Asked Questions
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)
For BA LLB (Hons) course, the CLAT 2026 Round 1 closing rank was 284 for NLU Kolkata and 310, for NLU Jodhpur. Based on these ranks, NLU Jodhpur is relatively easier for admissions when compared to NLU Kolkata. However, students can also compare the colleges based on other parameters, including tuition fees and NIRF ranking, to know which NLU would be a better choice.
| College | Tuition Fees | Ranking |
|---|---|---|
| NLU Kolkata | INR 3.7 Lakhs | 4 |
| NLU Jodhpur | INR 12.6 Lakhs | Not Ranked |

NUJS Kolkata Frequently Asked Questions
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!
