Exposure: extremely poor
Student quality: it was good before but now dampening batch by batch
Placement: this year's was good because of exceptional students who would have aced irrespective of the batch. But placement is extremely poor otherwise. Not a single tier 2 firm came for placement.
College Life and cost: horrible as it can be. Cost is around 3 lacs fees exclusive of living expenses. Living expenses cost around 1 lac. Most of the students have rich background. They don't care about making career but are here to chill and enjoy life
No!
1) Most teachers are inexperienced and don’t even teach the most basic parts of the subjects they teach. A lot of good teachers have left recently. Now the teachers who are teaching there are people who are pursuing PHDs from GNLU. They’ll leave soon if they’re good.
2) Placements are a nightmare. The placement cell is lazy and didn’t even approach any law firms for placements for the last two years. The placement record is absolutely awful. This year only 4/240 students are going to tier-1 law firms and they also got it via a PPO.
3) The college is not at all supportive in terms of co-curricular, extra-curricular and attendance. The rule is 85% and they are pretty rigid about it at times. Hence, students can’t pursue side internships as well because classes go on till 4PM from 9AM in the morning.
4) Life in Ahmedabad is difficult because a lot of firms in Ahmedabad are at max capacity and don’t easily take interns or give offers to people. Plus it’s not a city like Mumbai or Delhi or Bangalore where opportunities are endless.
5) The infrastructure is a hoax. The law building is a very small part of the overall university campus. Not enough classes so students are seated in seminar halls, reading rooms, etc.
So the crux is that academics are bad, zero support, and most importantly placements are at an all time low with the highest campus placement being that of 10 LPA (CTC).
The one thing that Nirma teaches a law student is to manage everything on their own. This is why you see Nirma recently performing fairly well in Moots, Debates, ADR and Publications. Very few of the batch of 300-320 (Yes new batches are of this size now) are doing good now.
