    Good Academics and Good Campus Life

    Anonymous Posted on 27 Oct'24
    B.Sc LLB Hons - Batch of 2029-01-01
    3.8

    Academics

    I am studying BSc LLB in Forensic Science and Criminology and it is a unique course only offered by NUJS. The curriculum is relevant to the field of law and we have great professors who are experts in their respective fields.

    College Infra

    The infrastructure is pretty bad here at nujs. BSc LLB students don't have a hostel on the main campus and have to live in a 2nd Campus requsitioned by the college from BSNL. We also have a separate acad block than BA students.

    Campus Life

    The campus life is great. There's a ton of events like dandiya night, costume party, games night, etc. that happen all throughout the year so I would say the NUJS campus is happening. If you're bored, there's always the city of joy, Kolkata for you to explore.

    Placements

    The placements at NUJS are quite good with a majority of the batch securing great jobs at law firms or as in-house counsels. So long as you make sure to stay among the top in your classes you do not have to worry about the job you'll secure. The average salary is around 12-14 lacs I think,

    Value For Money

    The fees is high for a government college but looking at the placements we would secure after the degree I feel it is justified. It is a hefty investment considering the fee is at par with many private colleges but the return on investment makes up for it.

    My experience in this college has been academically dynamic.

    Academics

    I am studying BSc LLB in Criminology and Forensic Science here at NUJS. It is an interesting course. Only one other NLU offers a BSc LLB since the norm is BALLB only. It is a unique and interdisciplinary course offered solely by NUJS in India.

    College Infra

    The infrastructure of the college isn't the best. Since the college campus is in the middle of the city, it is only about five acres. There is also a lot of construction taking place because they are trying to expand and improve.

    Campus Life

    The campus life is great. Since the campus is in the middle of the city, we can always go out and explore. There are always fun events being organised by the many student-run societies in the college.

    Placements

    As a first year, I don't have much insight on what the placements are like. BSc LLB is a new course and the first BSc LLB batch will graduate in 2028. Only then will we know what the placements are like. Hence, I will give it a moderating rating of three stars for now.

    Value For Money

    As per the fee charged, the facilities are nice. We have great faculty and course material. Library is air conditioned and resourceful. All in all, the fee of around 3-4 lacs per year is being well utilised by the college.

    NUJS Kolkata Students Question asked

    On Question asked by student community
    Have questions related to NUJS Kolkata?
    My clat 2025 rank is 21177..The college predictor of career 360 estimate that I have good chance into wbnujs bsc llb through obc-A (WB domicile home state) ..but many other source including career 360 QnA replier said that I have low chance for getting admission into wbnujs through obc-A(wb domicile) ..I am realty confused which is correct . However, Last year cut off for this same category into wbnujs was -26986

    While the previous year's cutoff for your category was 26986, this is not a guaranteed admission. Cutoffs can vary based on the number of applicants and their performance in CLAT.

    College predictors use algorithms and past data to estimate your chances, but they just predict which is not guarantee admission.wait

    Hello,

    Your CLAT 2025 rank of 21,177 places you beyond the typical cutoff range for OBC-A (West Bengal domicile) candidates seeking admission to WBNUJS Kolkata .

    In Round 1 of CLAT 2025 counselling , the closing rank for OBC-A (WB domicile) was 10,297 for BA LLB and 13,417 for BSc

    Can a student who belongs to a lower middle class family afford NLUs? I come from a lower-middle-class family in West Bengal and dream of attending WBNUJS, kolkata university. However, the high fee structure is hindering my dream.For days,I've been wondering and feeling depressed about whether I should pursue it.

    Hello

    Yes, attending an NLU like WBNUJS is possible for a student from a lower-middle-class family.

    Many NLUs, including WBNUJS, offer financial aid, scholarships, and fee waivers based on merit or need. Additionally, government scholarships, private grants, and student loans are available to help cover fees.

    It's important to research
