Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar

Gujarat sounds quite offputting. But if you really want to study law, you might want to not have your decision driven by the name of the place, leading to you missing out on a possibly great opportunity and a brilliant student crowd. there is much to learn and always things to do. It is an ideal place for a student, whose high expectations concern his career and not the merits of the shopping malls in the city. So yeah, quite a yogi life, but who knows it'll be worth it

Seniors in college are really helpful. I have received plenty opportunities to moot and debate. I really enjoy both the activities, the college also supports our endeavours in MUN-ing. The college is very affordable, the fee is quite less. Some of the professors are brilliant and indulge in class exercises.

THE GNLU REVIEW By Soubhagya Ranjan Swain ( 3rd year student of GNLU) Gujarat National Law University, It has been a terrific experience so far. Honestly, I had no interest in pursuing a career in law in the first place. I just accidentally bumped into CLAT and cracked it. Then destiny brought me to this little speck of heaven called GNLU. Let me present you some glimpses of my roller coaster journey in GNLU:- Campus: The circular campus houses within it two well-built hostels for boys and girls, an academic block, an administrative block and a state of the art auditorium. The auditorium of GNLU can put even the commonwealth games to shame. The classrooms have comfy seats (adequate enough to induce a limbo) and an AC that always falls 2 degrees shy of the optimum. The circular campus results in inarguably long nightly walks which entail substantial distance but no displacement. The greenery isn’t ideal enough from an environmental point of view but suits the lovebirds well in an unscrupulous manner. The campus maybe small in a relative manner (of course there’s no beating LPU) but the memories are gigantic. Faculty: Well, the faculty is a mix of the excellent, the good and the decent (I am being absolutely honest so don’t stare at the subtlety of the words). I have come across some amazing profs during my time here. The profs are not just profoundly knowledgeable but also extremely considerate (making survival of a naughty brat easier). I mean like, seriously, where else can you find the profs working till 10pm in the night just to ensure things get done in time. Academics: The curriculum is one of the boldest and bravest in the world. (riding the edge of a knife, almost). Five combinations in integrated law (Takes real guts and craft to have a BSW-LLB in the fold), extremely ingenuine and truly innovative. People over here are very serious about academics( there will always be three guys in the corridor mugging up all the case laws). Extra curriculars: Mooting is the buzzword in GNLU. There are literally two paths at the end of the first compulsory intra rounds of the 1st semester, either you fall in love with it or you pretend it never existed. The dedication of the moot court committee is reflected in the spectacular achievements of the university (We did win the Jessup India rounds this time). And the ever optimistic MCC head, Girish Sir, who is an apostle of friendliness, is at the forefront of such achievements. The debating culture in GNLU is terrific and the decibels tend to get really high in the practice rounds. There is a host of different clubs and committees in GNLU. Cultural and recreational activities keep occurring almost every other day and I won’t even complain because I don’t like studying at all. The committees and clubs may seem a bit classist on the surface but then there are no pure blessings. And the selection sometimes tends to be a little violative of PNJ but then one can learn to live with it without a lawsuit. Mess and residential facilities: Okay, this section literally affects my body and mind. The hostels have twin sharing rooms for guys and partially twin sharing accommodation for girls ( That’s good right, Women empowerment, JKT). I have no particular idea about what transpires in the girls hostel but the boys hostel never runs out of surprises. There are emergency fire drills, clogged washrooms, guards on every floor, smuggled items from the charters of the NDPS, rickety WiFi routers and live snakes ( Yes, no kidding). But the staff has always been supportive of everything legal (You are on your own for illegal stuff). Friendships happened in a flash in the beginning and ended in a flash gradually. People from different parts of the country met only to realize what “nationality” in a form actually means. There are attached bathrooms in the girls’ hostel and long queues in the morning in the boys’ hostel (Teaches patience and tolerance, important virtues). But overall, the hostels are really nice. The curfew times have swung like a pendulum but still happen to be the best in the country. One can stay out of his/her hostel till 1:30 am (it used to be 3:00 am) and I cannot express in words how significantly these timings have impacted my life. The menu in the mess has cuisines from all over the country but has managed to achieve a unique national integration to create the same flavour in the taste buds (which is not very appeasing). But it is still better than most of the colleges and one can learn to live on just breakfast and snacks (You can have egg dishes everyday in snacks). The mess tables provide for interesting conversations and sometimes, for awkward silences. There is a night mess facility which remains open till 1:30 am and is a perfect remedy for the midnight snack. Overall, GNLU is an experience worth carrying to the grave. It surely deserves the ranks it has been given by popular magazines (ranks 3 and 4).
