hey..
i came across to your profile thru the Faculty of law page on FB.
I am planning to join faculty of law this year but am apprehensive because of the things i have heard about really bad infrastructure, college life and stuff...
so i just wanted to know is it any good to join it? how is the college life, faculty, co curricular and stuff?

Great! you decided to do Law. That is a big decision. I surely want to know why you want to do law in order to guide you in a better way. but I must clear few things truly.
1. faculty of law, DU is best 3 year law institute as per India Today survey.
2. Infrastructure is surely not in line with international institutes and national law colleges. No wifi in campus, Stinking toilets may be worry for some time, but I am sure people do manage after some time.
3. college life is happening. read blog www.lawcentre1.blogspot.com
4. faculty is GOOD. Above average. there are new lecturers in faculty, and who don't have sufficient experience. but you may attend classes of senior faculty too from other sections if you have time too.
5. co curricular is good! read www.legallyindia.com and go to mooting premier league for current ranking in moot courts.
6. Law Centre1 organise debate, quiz, sports meet, cultural events apart from academic activities.
wish u all the best! :)

Why have i decided to take up law? Because i would love to make a change, socially.. I had always wanted that, but it was only after i took up graduation in DU, that i realized that i should perhaps do law..
and that's a lot of information.. thank you!!
well a couple of more specific questions...
1. Is it pretty easy to clear the entrance for an above-average guy?
2. How is the crowd.. like the average age, ratio...etc
3. I read somewhere online that the classes take place in the evening... is that correct? till when do the classes take place?
4. How can you decide as yo which law centre you want to join? are they different academically?
Thanks again :)

Great! Law is meant for changing life of those who are deprived also. You are welcome to law fac. You will find like minded people in fac. don't worry. after all more than 2000 ppl will be in first year with you in case you get selected.
answer to specific queries:
1. Entrance Test: based on GK, English and legal aptitude generally can be cracked easily if you read one newspaper daily and follow national and international event regularly. Further One entrance Guide will be available in faculty itself at "dinkar buk stall" which will surely help you out! In case you don't feel comfortable, you may join Coaching classes for entrance test which is generally held by political parties in campus before test.
2. Answered above. In morning batch : generally young crowd! afternoon batch: young persons with slight mix of working class. and in evening batch: large majority of working class, lot of them are intellectuals and on high posts, so you can expect healthy discussion in that class.
3. morning batch: 8,9 am to 2 pm; afternoon batch: 3-6pm; evening batch:
:6:15 to 9:15 pm.
4. depends upon the timing preference. faculty and the course content is same. although those having scored more and higher rank up to 600 approx. get the choice to join Morning batch(clc), this choice is not given to other students. but you have liberty to choose any of the centre, and you can change the centre in subsequent years as per your convenience.
:) I hope this is sufficient info for you! further you may get to know more from www.law.du.ac.in for any info on law centre 1. and for the common queries you may log on to orkut and join faculty of law forum. and then search for the last year help topics on entrance.

Hmmm
Well in that case most of the set backs which were making me doubtful about the college have been overcome i guess...
Infact i was most worried about the crowd and the kind of people i meet, but talking to you itself makes me feel relaxed about that...
I was confused among doing an M.Sc from UK, law from UK and law from DU...
I guess DU law stands as the best option as of now :-)
thank you...
