The faculty of all subjects are really good, and their teaching methods are based and cover practical and experimental aspect of subject.
The campus life good as the campus is open late night and also covered by green trees.
The students and its environment are diverse in nature as they come from the different parts of India

Dislikes

There is no general store within the campus as result have to go outside the campus.

Student Snaps:

Admission:

I have chosen this college because I had heard about its academic excellence, dedication and moot environment. it is also located in the middle of the city, which provides access to almost all the services. I had also received an admission call from the HPNLU and the Indraprastha University. however, I did not go for HPNLU because it is too far from the city and it is still developing its academic.

Likes

Nearness to main city is very advantageous. Every essentials are available near by.
Access to transportation is also good. A train station is not very too far. I f one wants to access the airport that is also very well connected.
The class timings are less. It helps students to focus on other activities.

Dislikes

Placement scenario is not very good. Not all students who want to get placed get placed
The college has a very small area which results in having a small playground and very less area.
Faculty at most is good but sometimes oneight find them boring. The student crowd, too sometimes could be found to be slacky.

Admission:

I got TNNLU, NUSRL and CNLU. I chose CNLU due to its proximity to my home. Additionally, other colleges were not very far better than CNLU. The admissions in CNLU for UG courses are held through CLAT consortium only or through their vacancy list but in CLAT marks and category of the student.

Likes

Infrastructure is nice. The classrooms are high-tech. The library has decent books.
The culture of CNLU is vibrant. There are book clubs and other committees.
Seniors are helpful and there is a lot of collaborative effort.

Dislikes

The college is comparatively new and hence the alumni base is not as strong.

Admission:

I also got accepted at NUSRL, Ranchi but did not opt for it as most of the things about it are similar to CNLU. However, one x-factor which probed me to join my current college was the appointment of Faizan Sir as the VC of our college.

Likes

i liked about my camous that it has a wonderful infrastructure as there is every amentites available like library, ground for sports etc
i liked about my college that many students tends to opt for diiferent fields after graduation like UPSC, BPSC, judiciary ,litigation etc
i liked about my campus that teachers here are so knowledgeable and their way of teaching is very good. Also their way of delivery is very good such that students tends to grasp those understandings very easily.

Dislikes

I disliked about my campus that although faculties are living in the campus but there are no interactions of students with their teachers so i think my college is lacking in this.
I disliked about my campus that there are animals freely roaming like snakes dogs etc which tends to harm students living in the campus.
I disliked about my campus in the aspect of not providing as much internship as it is needed because there are much less internship opportunity comparing the number of students

Admission:

The admission process of this college is by giving the CLAT exam which is held in whole of the India and nealy 300000 students give this exam.There is also ranking of colleges so if u get better marks in CLAT exam than you will be eligible for better colleges in India. I applied for Gnlu which is in Gujrat and that college was my dream college as it has eveything that i needed in my whole life but my rank was not upto the eligibilty criteria of that college so i got admission in Patna. But there was a sense of relaxation that although i didin't get that college but this college is near my home so it's good to have here.My college is mush better than other colleges because first it has a great infrastructure and second one is that it is in middle of the patna so you can avail anything by nearky travelling half an hour and it's a very plus point for Cnlu.

Infrastructure is good. We have smart classes in all classes
Campus life is great. You get to take part in a lot of competitions and programs.

Dislikes

Faculty is not so great. Except some, most don't know how to teach

Admission:

To get into a national law University, you have to appear in an entrance exam called CLAT. there are 25 nlu in India. On 1st rank there is Nlu banglore, 2nd there is Nlu Hyderabad and the list goes on. According to your rank in CLAT exam you get Nlu's. Mostly students either prefer a college which is high in rank or a college close to their hometown. Cutoff varies every year. Sometimes paper is easy and cutoff goes high sometimes it's difficult so cutoff comes low. For general category, You have to be under 2500 rank to get admission into an nlu. The admission process is quite simple . Everything is done from the CLAT official website. According to my rank which was 15000, I had 3 options - CNLU, NLU Orissa and NLU Ranchi. I chose Cnlu because it is close to my hometown and it was better than nlu Ranchi and on almost same footing of nlu Orissa.

A lot of scope for improvement

Likes

The campus ambience is calm and relaxing with trees all around to give it a soothing environment
The Library is quite resourceful and late night accessibility is very helpful for students.
The classroom infrastructure has been recently changed and new smart classrooms have been installed, which also allows for attending the classes online.

Dislikes

The mess food is not up to mark. The administration tries to bring in different mess tendors to improve the quality but it's still not good
The university is built in a small space and therefore lacks sports grounds. But a single space can be turned into a multi sports complex
The medical facility is also not very good.

Student Snaps:

Admission:

The university is an NLU and therefore for taking admission, the applicant must appear for CLAT- UG . After the results, the CLAT consortium releases a merit list and then if you are eligible, you get to fill the preference list of all the NLUs. For taking admission in CLNU, the general cutoff for round 1 , 2024 was 322(opening) and 1236(closing). The university offers a state reservation to all the category candidates. Every semester there's a mid semester exam and an end semester exam. Every semester also includes a project work in each subject. Passing in end semester exam and projects respectively is compulsory for clearing the semester. The admission process is completely transparent and it is not done by university but through the CLAT consortium itself. The university offers PG course as well, for which the university takes the admission test itself.

I liked that the Administration is very supportive and listen student's concern. Before implementing any rule the reviews of student is always taken. Placements are increasing and are given more focus on placements.
Campus is very beautiful though small but is very neatly decorated with plants and tress. We have all amenities available whether it would be canteen or unisex Nescafe. Food quality in the mess is also very good .
In our college social life is very good and we don't feel that we are residing in Patna. People here are open mimded and most importantly seniors are very supportive they ae with us whenever we needed. Placements are increasing very rapidly

Dislikes

The college is situated in Patna, it may hamper to someone who comes from metropolitan cities.
Sports environment is not there. There should be a overall experience rather than only academics.

Admission:

Before enrolling into any National Law University, a student has to appear for the CLAT exam, and based on the rank scored in the exam a student gets the college. If a student got the CNLU so all the communication is done by the email provided to the consortium. Cut-off of CNLU depends on the difficulty level of the paper of CLAT. CNLU has 20 seats for SC students of Bihar. Other SC student outside of Bihar is not considered. Application forms can be found on the website Consortium of NLU and all the details are available there regarding the question paper and the information about the college. The application fee for general category students is 4000 and for SC and lower caste students is 3500. The CLAT exam is held annually in December. The difficulty level of the paper depends on the question paper setter. The admission process is vague. As it only admits students who are good at English reading. The CLAT exam depends on the reading speed of the candidate. Real talent is not conside
