School of Law, GITAM University, Visakhapatnam

The institution offers two courses namely B.A. LL.B(Hons) B.B.A LL.B(Hons) out of which the former is preferable as teachers are better comparatively. The college administration is average with no pragmatism in an approach of functioning and highly inefficient people being at the helm of the affairs. The crowd is decent enough but not much of diversity could be seen. The fees are pretty high not in proportion to the amenities being provided. Teachers are helpful and easily approachable. There are separate hostels for boys and girls which are decent enough. Girl’s hostel, in particular, have too many unnecessary procedural formalities and Authorities are highly irrational. The exposure wise the institution suffers a major blow. Overall the institution is still in the budding stage it, it needs a lot of major improvements.

GITAM University campus is a big one. The law college building is new . Vizag is a coastal city , so u have to tolerate high humidity levels and sweating. So class rooms should be air conditioned in order to provide comfortable study environment , which is lacking here. Hostel facility is good because the 1st years are provided separate hostel and thus, fewer chances of ragging. A field of about 1 acre is there for sports but it becomes over crowded with students on evenings .gym tennis and basketball facilities are available at a cheap price of rs1000 Per year for each of them, but gym needs to be upgraded. Hostel facility is nice , but if u want to go out of campus there is a cumbersome process of taking signature from hostel warden , otherwise u will be stopped at the gate. The present teachers in college are young ,energetic and very helpful . student strength is less which leads to lack of diversity but at the same time, students can build good bonds with professors. Ours is the first batch, so no comments on placements. The college lacks advertisement skills, (and again it lacks AC:) )

The institution offers two courses i.e BBA. LLB(Hons) and BA LLB (Hons) and I would recommend the latter.We do have a good library but then it doesn’t have relevant books for 9th and 10th semester. Most of the times the books arrive after the completion of the semesters . A frustrating rule is that you are not allowed to take more than 2 books at a time which is problematic during exams. Orientation for mooting , debating and other co-curricular activities are not satisfactory; and the worst thing is despite having resources we were never allowed to conduct a single law fest or any big competitions in our law school. ADMINISTRATION Is not organized and serious about the well-being of students. The fee is high (1.55lakh per annum) and is not proportionate to the facilities being provided. Hostel has a good infrastructure but is very strict in administration and very expensive and most of the people stay in the hostel for a year or two. For those who stay in hostel it’s very hard to get out of hostel as you have to take permission from a number of authorities which is irritating if you are placed in an emergency. The good thing about the college is that there are no ragging related issues and the tradition of addressing your senior as SIR or MA’AM like other most other colleges. There is dire need of hiring more number of good faculties as the present strength of faculties is weak and not in proportion to the strength of the students as each faculty teaches 4 subjects .GITAM University ,in general, is popular for its 100% , the present prevailing conditions do not hint at prospects of good placements, because of which the students are clueless about the future. The college placement cell and the student placement committee must work together to get better placements .

The institution suffers from the archaic practices, for instance, students are not generally encouraged for internships. Professors are helpful and can be easily approached. The authorities are ineffective and are laid back in many areas because of which the standards have diluted in such areas. As far as hostels are concerned, are quite decent enough. Girl’s hostel, in particular, is extremely strict and most of the times authorities are highly unreasonable. Infrastructure is pretty good with serene greenery. By and large, the institution is in the nascent stage, it will take the time to strengthen and pick up the pace.

This university is just 4year old and in the year 2017 ,the first batch is going to pass out. Although being a startup, nevertheless the student and faculty coordination would be extremely overwhelming. The infrastructure is altogether a promising one with a library with all necessary facilities .Time to time debate and moot competitions boost up the student zeal and spirit. There is more so over a very friendly atmosphere between the students of all the years. It can be firmly said to be a raging friendly university, especially in the law block all the students are collectively united. Since it is the first batch and we are about to pass out the next year there are promising placements as of now . It is an assumption that it eventually turns better in the coming years. The Gitam University Hostel is one of its kind and is equipped with all the facilities that are required .
