There are a lot of private law schools. But i want to know which are the ones that should be given preference. Like Symbiosis is good i hear… What about NIRMA ? is it a good law school in the long run? And what is its present scenario? What should i consider as my other options?

Here’s a list of the good (at least decent) ones (not in any particular order)

Symbiosis Pune and Noida

Jindal Global Law School (Note - Really high fees)

Christ

Nirma

Kiit School Of Law

Symbi Pune is usually the first choice for anyone looking for a private law college, therefore it has a good reputation. There are some other good law schools which are not completely private but are non-NLUs, like ILS Pune and UPES.

That looks like quite a reasonable list! The best option is to visit some of the campuses, if possible, meet some of the faculty and students and ask them about the place and what it’s like…

Update: here’s a reply from Rounak on our Facebook page:

[quote]Christ take students solely on their merit. It has good exposure. Fees are reasonable. Faculties are friendly. So is the authority! Jindal’s fee is too much. It will negate many students. Is it possible for ppl to pay 6.5 Lakhs as annual fee? Symbiosis : fees high, but has good exposure. KIIT : Fees are too high! Though facilities are good. 1st batch got 100% placement[/quote]

Private collge depend on faculty, environment and placment. i would say ki there r 5-6 gud private law schools.

1) KIIT Law School

2) Symbi (pune and noida)

3) Amity (IP)

4) Christ collge

5) Nirma

6) UPES

7) Alliance law school started last year

in my opinion students shuld visit the campus and chaeck out the placment record and faculty . then it is esay to decide..

It’s quite true (and unfortunate) that fees are high in almost all pvt colleges. However, some of them (esp. Kiit and JGLS) do offer scholarships to the students who secure good marks in the entrance exams.
