Extracurricular

Let’s talk sports
first. I would say sports facilities are not at all ignored either and the
college student teams are very active in sports events both at intra college
level and inter college i.e. the national level. The college takes part in all kind of sports
events and these sports teams do the college proud. The college cricket
and football team are especially good.

Another example
to prove that extracurricular is very important to this college is its moots.
College students here take part in all national moots and also organize moots
in their college. At the time of the moots the whole college is abuzz with
activity and students especially prepare for a coming national moot by
organizing and participating in various intra class moots.

Besides moots
there are debates, client counseling and other law related events which form a
strong foundation for a law student and at the same time have entertainment
value.

talk business which means lets discuss placements
talk business which means lets discuss placements
Placements
First option is
that the students get attached with lawyers i.e. the students start working
with lawyers soon after college. Members of the alumni association have been
seen working with district court, High court and Supreme court advocates. This
covers litigation.

explore is judiciary and very many are seen attempting and clearing these
judiciary exams to go on to become judicial magistrates.

Some love the
idea of social work and want to always feel the way they felt while working with
the legal aid clinic in college and therefore join NGOs. The college instills
in its students the idea that the foremost duty of a lawyer is to repay his
debt to the society and that is why many turn towards social service and NGO
work.
