Like most of the colleges, it has some good faculties and some not so good. Over the last few years the quality has reduced but that's a general trend as well. However, student run avenues are there to compensate it.
Academics used to be brilliant but nowadays poor quality of teachers and random hiring is making it suffer. Students are brilliant and create a wholesome culture of studying and ambition. Mooting is a renowned and sought after activity.
Ver good teachers makes classes more knowledgeable , interactive , fun and enjoyable. They also provide best materials and helps a lot while preparing for exams and more. The syllabus is good nit much burdening.

Hello,
With an All India Rank (AIR) of 38095 and OBC rank of 7627, it is very difficult to get a seat in any of the NLUs, even under the Tamil Nadu government school quota. Most NLUs close their OBC seats at a much lower rank. Also, the government school quota is not accepted by all NLUs.
You can still attend all rounds of CLAT counselling and keep checking for any vacancy or special rounds, but chances are very low with this rank. It is better to also look for other good law colleges as a backup.
Hope it helps !
