What makes you think the students of GLC do not have "potential and calibre"?
Better to give MHCET again and try to make it into GLC rather than live your life in such a ▮▮▮ way.
Wishing you the best.
Sincerely,
Disappointed.
▮▮▮. If PGCL is like Mithibai, they will send letters to your parents and try to stop you from taking exams if your attendance falls below 80%, denying you opportunities to spend your time more constructively.
ALSO:
- Extra-curricular and co-curricular activities are better at GLC.
- PGCL has a 50% Gujju quota, and the Gujju population will be closer to 80%. Not diverse at all...
Ek din NLUs bhi GLC jaisa banega
I loved my time at GLC. The freedom is extraordinary, and you are actually treated like an adult. Some of the teachers are very helpful and will mentor you actively if you reach out. I mention Professors Shamim Dalvi and Krishu Daswani especially in this context. The visiting faculty, who do take regular lectures, are also great. I don’t know if any NLU has an AZB partner teaching arbitration or contracts; it is true for GLC.
Now the negatives:
- There is no spoon-feeding whatsoever. The lectures are based on the MU syllabus, and are not designed to train students in critical thinking.
- GLC is not particularly academic, and the culture is exam based not assignment based. The few assignments that may be required (I have heard that MU has made assignments compulsory now, and they make up part of the grade), will likely be cut paste jobs/poor quality.
- Some of the teachers are of very poor quality (but I believe you will have them everywhere).
- NLUs are definitely more rigorous, and passing through one will guarantee that you will be a graduate of a minimum standard.
- No forced discipline. You must be self motivated.
While it is not difficult to meet the same standard at GLC, meeting it would be due to your hard work or initiative, not because of the academic requirements of the college. The best way to for inexperienced students to level up is to join one of the more “serious” committees/clubs: ADR, Moot Court, Law Review, and to do more than level up, do an internship.
An interesting point to consider:
What you must understand is that GLC is a traditional law college with immense diversity. Our fees are negligible and we have a 50% quota that brings in people from weaker sections. For most privileged people (who make up the bulk of NLU students), “quota students” with different accents, attitudes and life experiences often comes as a culture shock.
I, however, feel that this is an enriching experience, bringing people out of echo chambers and forcing them to look other realities in the eye, and make friends with people from all walks of life.
Good luck!
I am currently in tier-3 nlu but i am going to write CLAT again this year but i am uncertain about MHCET because I don't know if it will be a big upgradation. How is GLC doing as an institution in 2022 is it worthwhile to write MHCET for it?
