Reasons
Mumbai University(MU)- just like India were fragile and helpless under British rule, same is with GLC, Mumbai has made sure that such GLORIOUS institution is destroyed.
Imagine having the legacy of 165+ years and be like this. It is the complete failure of the Maharashtra Government and Central Government to not make this alike to contemporary Law schools in India and create an institute of eminence.
Having studied in College where GOATs have studied and now just any other building in Churchgate.
The syllabus is older than Elizabeth queen. The same old method of cramming and mugging all of it and spit it out in an answer sheet on the D-day of examination and hey if your writing and luck are in your favor, you're topper of the Uni.
This institution is only alive because of its students. While the state reservation is way too much but still nevertheless most bunch of people are good to do.
Committees- This is the only a good thing about GLC, to be honest, so you can see the standard. The only way you can create a network or else you're gone for life if you do not join any committee. Most students join them and it's the only way to interact and plus these committees are very active and fun so yeah credit where it is due. The only spice of law school that you get to enjoy the most. while other colleges must be thinking, what's so exciting about it? well, in other N schools, even if you do not join many committees, you can still do good but very rarely a person not involved in committees has fared well in GLC. not saying committees contribute in any skill set or distinct personality but that's how new opportunities open up.
Placement- while I can only review my placecom till the time I am/was there. In our college, most students has secured their way to the job without any contribution of the placecom. this committee is mostly lethargic and incompetent. you can ask them for the number of 2019-2020-2021(lmao) batch placement report. they think they're sitting on the legacy of the GOATs and therefore, the recruiter will come to them and say please please get me students of the current batch at any costs. while you'll think there is a bit of exaggeration in this particular indicator but tbh, it's worse without it as well.
they hardly take any effort while I see the contemporary law school taking so much effort to find jobs on job portals and LinkedIn (One such mention is of AIL, Mohali who are so active and making an effort) and get their student placed. As a student, I know the situation is adverse in job markets but as long as you see your committee making efforts for you, you're content at the end of the day. but students who are in such a position of the committee might not come from a background where they've struggled for things and therefore, they don't have a knack for putting in extra efforts.
Fact for you to believe me
In GLC there is a good amount of students from other states and from out of Mumbai city and suburbs. but still, the committee went ahead and conducted physical interviews in the middle of the pandemic with no sense of empathy and understanding that there could be people who can't come to Mumbai solely for an interview due to these difficult times. there were very few virtual opportunities that we didn't hear of till now.
Absolutely fails in forging a relationship with a recruiter, you will see only 2-3 Tier one firm coming and taking only 1-2 student from a batch 280+320 (total batch size including 3 years and 5 years students) out of which only 70-80 would desire to sit for placement which speaks of the confidence of student that their placecom is good for nothing. Mumbai being the home for the corporates still you'll see not corporates taking the recruits from our college.
