NUSRL review - good facilities and worth th money .

Placements: I'm in 2nd year. So I have less knowledge about placements but the batch which passed out this year. Many of our seniors good placed. Stone of them got placement package of even 18 Lacs. The average is around 10-11 Lacs of package. Moreover, there are hope that it will increase in upcoming years.

Infrastructure: Talking about class, smart boards, Wi-Fi, spacious classrooms, air conditioned, mics for teachers. All such things are available. In hostel, you get Wi-Fi, medical facility, gym, regular water and electricity supply, clean washrooms, spacious bathrooms. Mess food is also bearable.

Faculty: The faculty members here are qualified and expert in their fields except some. They are really helpful. If you'll reach out to them, they will surely help you, guide you. Course circullum is relevant and good. If you follow teachers and study regularly, play attention in class, you will be able to do well in exams.

Other: Many extra curricular activities are available as there are many centres.

A brief Review of NLU Ranchi (NUSRL) - National University of Study and Research In Law.

Placements: The course offered at the university is well-curated but it still lacks practical aspects. Placements are zero. All students get their own PPO. The alumni base is really good and the students are also very talented. The only thing that is lacking is the support from the state government.

Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure is not as standard as other NLUs. Classrooms, Wi-Fi, and facilities in the hostel are decent. The library building is in progress. We wish to have another building for a new course starting from 2025 onwards, which is B.A. LL.B.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified. Some teachers are good at teaching. They also build a very good student-teacher relationship with us. In other cases, some teachers are really mood-kind and will hold personal grudges against us. Overall, it is like any other college.

Other: Two annual fests are organised at the University. One is Avirbhav and another fest is Yuventas. Fests are good. It also organises national-level debate competitions, moot court competitions, seminars, etc.

Great college life but lacks infrastructure.

Placements: Many students got placed in corporate firms like Khaitan, DSK Legal, etc. A lot of students went for higher studies LLM. Many students are also working under advocates. Roles offered to students are associate, junior associate, etc.

Infrastructure: All classrooms are soundproof and have centralized air conditioners, smartboards, mics, and speakers for teachers. Wi-Fi is available 24/7 at both academic block and hostels. The library is not very good. The hostel facility is amazing with a single room from 2nd year onwards. All rooms have balconies. The mess food is average. There are numerous sports facilities.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and approachable. The course curriculum is relevant. It is as per the Bar Council of India's guidelines. Students are taught all the relevant lawns.

Experience at NUSRL, Ranchi.

Placements: Placements are not that good. Although the cell is developing now, one can expect better placements in the future. But now the average goes around 6 lacs from the cell. Many students secure POPs with packages ranging from 15 to 16 lacs. The placements through the cell would land you in a decent firm.

Infrastructure: Hostels are good. You get a gym in both girls and boys hostels. There are also badminton courts. Wi-Fi is available. There is also a study room inside the hostels. Rooms are also good. In the first year, you get a double room, and from the second year on, you get a single room. Mess food is not that good but you have to bear with it. The dispensary is there and a doctor comes daily for 2 hours. Ambulance availability is also there. A canteen is present inside the campus, along with a stuck shop.

Faculty: Faculty members are good. They have a good grip on their subjects. You can clear your doubts at any time, either in class or in their chambers. They will explain things to you clearly if you approach them. The course curriculum is good, including research papers and moot courts, which give you real-life litigation experiences. There are two midterms and two endterms in a year. If you wish to pass the papers in a single go, you have to study; the checking is quite strict.
