Which is better for an LLB: SVKM's Pravin Gandhi College of Law or Mewar Law Institute and why?

In terms of career exposure, PGCL being in Mumbai, has a lot of advantages. However the choice and decision is dependent on career aspirations, academic inclination and financial viability and affordability (given the high cost of living in Mumbai).

Hi, I think Pravin Gandhi College of Law should be preferred over Mewar Law Institute. Now there are several reasons to why I say this. Firstly, Mumbai is the corporate hub of India. A lot of law firms in India have their main office in Mumbai which makes it easier to intern here. Secondly, in terms of opportunities available to students, the students of Pravin Gandhi College participate in a lot of debates, moot court and ADR competitions. These extracurricular activities are essential for a law student. These will help in securing good internships and placements. Now coming to the opportunities after the program, Pravin Gandhi College has a good placement record with a lot of top firms and corporates making job offers to students. Lastly, the attendance policy is not that strict here. So you can do various internships and competitions without worrying about attendance. Hope this helps.

Hi, I think that you should go for SVKM's Pravin Gandhi College of Law, Mumbai over Mewar Law Institute. I have a friend who is studying there and have interned with in-house firms as well as high court lawyers. This is because of their liberal policy with respect to attendance. It has huge locational advantage over Mewar Law Institute. They are associated with Mihtibai campus of Mumbai University and focusing a lot on moots, debates and other co-curricular activities which is a major pro of it. The con of it is the fact that recently Mumbai University was condemned of arbitrary exercise of checking the copies. But that should not be the sole consideration. They also provide additional courses such as Certificate In Securities And Corporate Law, which gives it edge over Mewar Law College which is struggling to get a decent crowd.

Hi, According to me, both the colleges are at par at their own level. However, it depends upon you to decide whether you want to go in the field of Corporate Law or Litigation. If you are interested to go for Corporate Law then according to me you should prefer SVKM's Pravin Gandhi College of Law because Mumbai is considered to be the Corporate Hub. The college is affiliated with Mumbai University and is liberal in its attendance policy a bit as a result you can go for ongoing internships which would be beneficial for you in the development in the field of Corporate Law. The college has great infrastructure, a strong placement cell where you can get the opportunity to work with the best law firms. Whereas, if you are interested to go for litigation then, I think you should go for Mewar Law Institute, Ghaziabad because in NCR, you would be able to observe the working of entire hierarchy of courts. Right from District and Sessions Court at the ground level to Hon'ble Supreme Court of India at the highest level. You would be able to grasp a great knowledge working with the great minds.

Hi, As per my knowledge, SVKM's Pravin Gandhi Law College is very good. I've heard a lot of positive things about this law college. The faculty in this college is very good and is co-operative as well. The college has focus on the overall development of a student as a lawyer and has very good academic events that are conducted. Also, the placements and internships provided by the college is again a positive side of the college which makes it even better than the other law colleges. Pravin Gandhi Law College has a Placement Cell that helps in providing opportunities for Part Time and Full Time jobs in reputed organizations to eligible students. In the past some of the renowned business houses and Law Firms have recruited students from campus. In addition to final placements, the college actively encourages students to take up internships during summer and Winter Break with NGOs, Regulatory Bodies, Corporates and Law Firms. Also, the Placement cell conducts INTERFACE where resource persons with rich experience are invited to share their perspectives on their area of expertise. The event aims to provide a platform to students to interact with legal luminaries which helps them in getting real life perspective on various issues hence helps them in becoming responsible professionals. This makes the Pravin Gandhi Law College better than other law colleges. On the other hand, Mewar Law Institute lacks a bit in all these qualities as a law college. The attendance is also not taken that seriously here by the students as well as the faculty. So my suggestion to you would be to go with SVKM's Pravin Gandhi Law College over Mewar Law Institute.
