The journey has its ups and downs, it will give you more strength.

Placements: By the end of the 5th year, 70-80% of students got placed in top legal firms in Andhra Pradesh and other states. The average placement package ranges from 7 LPA to 15 LPA. There are recent collaborations with other tier 2 and 3 companies for more internships and job opportunities. Legal companies like Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, Luthra, Tatva Legal, Bharucha & Partners, etc.

Infrastructure: Girls and boys have separate hostels in the vast university. There are all the facilities required for students, such as washing machines, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, beds, a gym, a sports complex, a dance practice area, a yoga lawn, a library, online books, and medical support 24/7, a dormitory, etc.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified professionals and well-trained. They provide the best teaching and offer personal explanations, particularly for B.A. LL.B. Hons. The course is very relevant and starts from the beginner's level. Semester examinations are not so hard. A few subjects for that particular semester may be a little bit tough, but with that, there will be a balance of easy subjects too.

Other: I secured decent marks in CLAT and later got into DSNLU. Initially, I thought I couldn't fit in, but with the passage of time and open learning, I feel like I belong here more. There will be extra fun with student-run committees, good intramural games, sports fests, music, dance, seminars, moot courts, debates, and whatnot!

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.

Other: I was so interested in doing law, and this course is the best; legal knowledge is important in our life. Scholarships are available and extracurricular activities are also there; a fest will also be there.

Life at Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University, Visakhapatnam.

Placements: The college is in its early stages, so it has a low placement percentage. However, the university is making good efforts to improve it. Currently, the highest package at the university is 12 LPA, while the lowest is around 3-4 LPA. Top companies like Amarchand & Mangaldas are recruiting.

Infrastructure: The university boasts very good infrastructure, including Wi-Fi in the library and reliable internet in the hostel. The classrooms are digitalized and air-conditioned. We have excellent medical facilities, sports facilities, and a gymnasium available in both men's and women's hostels.

Faculty: The university has both extraordinary and average faculty. The course curriculum is relevant to the current legal landscape. Exams are conducted in two phases: mid-semester exams and end-semester exams. Mid-semester exams are worth 25 marks, while end-semester exams are worth 50 marks, with an additional 25 marks for projects. The exams can be a little difficult as they maintain NLU standards.

Other: I hope the placement percentage increases.
