A few years back a friend of mine was in a situation when he had to make a choice between lower ranked NIUs and Bennett University. After much consideration he chooses Bennett. According to him, it was the best choice. He had a great experience at the institute. 

Here is his input about the BBA LLB course at Bennett University. 

  • Faculty- In the School of Law particularly, the faculty appointed is unmatchable even by the top National Law Schools. Bennett has the best faculty with professors holding PhDs from top institutions such as the London School of Economics, and in India, such as IIM’s, NLS Bengaluru, NALSAR Hyderabad. They impart education in the most modern ways.
  • Tech Learning- All the learning is E-learning through modern methods acquired from international universities such as Cornell University, New York, USA. one simply needs pen and paper only during the exams.
  • Association - Bennett University is associated directly with Johnson Cornell University, New York, USA. The teachers from The Partner University visit Bennett University for teaching. Bennett has exchange programs and other international cultural programs with these partner institutes.
  • Law School Events- The Law school in its 1st year of formation conducted various events and even an Intra-Law School Fest with sponsors such as The Times of India, Manupatra, Law Skills, Contrario, etc. The fest involved the participation of Professors as well as Students. 
  • Student Bar Association- The Student Bar Association is a student-run body that takes care of the student’s aspects and the running of the School of Law alongside the administration. There are many clubs and committees under SBA which are managed by student moderators with the members. 
  • Law Library- The BU SOL has a Law Library inaugurated by Shri Ram Jethmalani Ji. The library is vast. In addition to the books and e-books, it contains various law Databases such as West Law.

Hope this gives you an idea about the course.

If you want a career in litigation, then Allahabad University is a good option. You will get ample time and resources to build required skills. Allahabad High Court and lower courts will assist in clearing your basics and make you a professional. It is a good option for judicial services too. You will be able to manage your preparations, as attendance rules aren’t strict. 

But for corporate sector jobs, Allahabad University isn’t a good option. Very few companies visit the campus placements. 

Allahabad University law degrees are cost-effective compared to NLUs. The total tuition fee for LLB at the university is only INR 2.3 Lakhs. Also, Allahabad isn’t a costly city.

Exams are simple to pass, however gaining necessary information is a little tougher. It's the right technique to make your concepts obvious, mentioning sections and focusing on the bare act. Doing the following would be a lot easier method:

  • Classroom lectures are always the most effective.
  • Making running notes entails writing down what you believe is important.
  • Choose a standard reading book (textbook/reference book) for each subject. 
  • This is the only book you should read if you want to pass your examinations. 
  • An author’s book, often known as a "Commentary," would be beneficial for conceptual clarity as well as legal expertise and terminology.

Presentation is another useful tool. You could present the answer in your own distinct style. Make a clear format for how you'll write your answers. The following is an example of a possible response:

  • A brief introduction (A line or two introducing the answer to the question)
  • The case's/facts questions (if any)
  • Provision of the law (Includes Section, Article, Clause if you know it)
  • The inference made by you (the actual answer that is examined)
  • Jurisprudence (if any)
  • Conclusion

If the issue is for lower marks, your structure can be simplified, but the Section, Article, Clause, and Case law should still be included.

If recalling Sections and other details is tough, focus on the most important ones. When a topic is presented, the rest of the book can be read leisurely with consistent and pertinent references.

Once you enroll yourself for any law course with KSLU, you will have to complete the course within the prescribed time by the university. 

For example, if you are in the 3 years course of LLB then you will be given +3 years to finish the course (i.e, 3+3). If you surpass the time you will have to enroll for the fresh batch.

Otherwise, you can also keep the course going and be enrolled, take a year's break, and get back. But it is difficult to catch up with the academics considering a break since they take time to follow up. 

Also, it is heard in rumors that KSLUs evaluation system is unfair and has left students in much agony.
