How do the top private colleges compare with the top government colleges in India?

There is no straight jacket formula which applies to all government colleges or all private colleges. I will give a brief idea about both of them, along with NLUs as a separate category, based on certain criteria: Fee: While considering a degree, one definitely has to look at the fee structure of the course offered and whether or not it will be a potent future investment. Government colleges, as is known, have the most affordable fee structure. A post-graduation LL.B. From Faculty of Law cost less than Rs.10,000/- per annum. NLUs are slightly steeper in their fee structure, which can easily be over a Lacs per annum, for both tuition and hostel fee. Private colleges, in terms of fee, are the most expensive, reaching around 1.5-2lakh per semester, only for tuition fee. Residence, often, is not given by the college itself. Faculty: In a course like law, faculty is of prime importance, especially for someone pursuing law straight after school. Government law colleges are not really known for their faculty, which is, in most cases, just about average, even though some professors may be exceptionally brilliant. NLUs, on the other hand, have been known to house young and dynamic faculty, most of whom have done their higher studies from renowned colleges in US and UK. Private colleges have a mix of both. It is difficult to generalise. Infrastructure: NLUs have been known to have very good infrastructure, with well stocked libraries and comfortable hostels. Some also have smart classes. Private colleges also are rated well in terms of the infrastructure that they provide. Government colleges are not relatively praiseworthy when it comes to infrastructure.

Future prospects: Top-rated NLUs are known to get the best placements, with students bagging PPOs (pre-placement offers) in the most coveted law firms. Even private colleges these days have started guaranteeing their students assured placements after college. Government college placements can vary as most Placement Cells are run majorly by the students itself, and depending on how much effort every batch puts in, these can vary greatly.

Well, if you look for a comparison between the top government colleges and top private colleges, then you must compare them based on certain criteria. These criteria include the infrastructure of college, the academic status and standard, the faculties, the placements and past records from batch to batch basis. The year of establishment may not be a necessary criteria to look for, as many new institutes turn out to be better than already existing one. Now, the infrastructure includes not only the buildings but also a well-equipped library is required for study and reference purposes. Also, whether or not the faculties are concerned about their teaching affairs is another criteria and the kind of classroom activity and participation is also important. Placements are important as a reputed institute receives more recruiters and also it shows the quality of education there. Thus, for your prospects you must check for these criteria before choosing a college.
