    Academics

    Students of our university are excelling everywhere. NIRF ranked us among top law institutions. The CLAT ranking is according to establishment dates don't go according to that they are all misleading.

    College Infra

    Best infrastructure with modern equipments. I would request aspirants not to go according to old article and make a prejudice against NLU Assam. They are all 2014 articles amd post. From 2014 to 2020 NLUA has risen and now standing among top law institutions.

    Campus Life

    From cultural celebration to DJ night and from Sports competition or different conferences. Campus is the best.

    Placements

    Placements are coming and students are scoring high ranks in CLAT PG exams. Students are winning international and national moot courts competition and are getting PPOs. NLU Assam provides for peaceful environment for students.

    Value For Money

    Feasible and less than others and it offers better services that others.

    Academics

    BA LLB, five year integrated course and LLM for a year. There is also a judicial academy for judges. Curriculum is updated and includes all the recent developments in the field. Yes, it makes us job-ready.

    College Infra

    One of the best campuses in India. NLU Assam has two big buildings and a separate building for library. Classes are air conditioned, spacious with a podium and all digital equipments fixed like smart boards . There is a sports complex under construction as of now. WiFi in the campus and hostels. Very well maintained. Living spaces are clean, however the quality of hostel food is low. Nonetheless, food is edible and there are shops nearby.

    Campus Life

    Inter College competitions take place almost every week. There is a capacity building moot for freshers. Students engage in Moots, Research Paper Presentations, Debates and other activities. Students and teachers are supportive. The campus is situated on the outskirts of Guwahati.

    Placements

    Poor placement cell. Students get PPO. The placement cell is developing every year. However, the college is supportive. Nonetheless, a few companies come at the end of each year to provide placements.

    Value For Money

    It's 2 lacs per year. Including hostel fees and mess. Worth the money.
