DSNLU, Visakhapatnam journey of 3 year LL.B.
Placements: From the first semester onwards, the students are eligible for campus internships. The college does provide internships and placements, but there is no promising guarantee of getting placed. The placement is average here but it is still improving. Few students qualify for the placement seats. For those who want to pursue judiciary, the college is an amazing option; otherwise, you have to work hard to get a placement.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is amazing here; girls' hostels are also good. They have all kinds of facilities here, from a lift to a gym or cafe or a small general store. There's a bus that runs around the campus every day. The library is huge, the classrooms are advanced, and there's Wi-Fi all around the campus, in the library and even in hostels.
Faculty: The teachers here are very knowledgeable and quite helpful as well. The only issue you can face is in the accent difference, as it is in the south of India. The lectures are good; we get all types of help from PPTs to help during projects. The passing percentage is 50%, so you have to keep up with scores. The exams are from average to difficult.
Other: The course is LL.B. 3 years; it's a new course in NLU Visakhapatnam after NLUO. There are no such scholarships in this college. Many extracurricular activities are mostly related to law fields.
