Question

Abhishek Vikram · Answer

Hi there, Well, Lovely Professional University has earned a good reputation in field of education owing to its huge infrastructure and also quality and standard of education. Though it is a comparatively new institute but has some good recruiters such as Google, Microsoft, etc. Also, the placements are quite good for students here as it has in other branches of study. Heritage Law School would serve you no better than providing a degree only and also, you won't find the culture that LPU has. Also, LPU is growing rapidly as an institute and has shown some tremendous growth as placements here range between 70-80% for students which is a good sign. The scope of growth in LPU are better as it does provide you the right exposure and the right directions. Also, university has some very good corporate and educational ties which makes internships opportunities for students easy and qualitative. Also, you really have a world behind the walls of the huge campus. Thus, LPU must be the preference.

Hi, The choice of an organisation relies on the different factors, for example, the foundation of a college, educational plan, Placements, Accreditation, Infrastructure Facilities, the most important the knowledge and experience of the Faculty. Therefore, in my opinion, I would recommend LPU because the School of Law is governed and regulated by the Bar Council of India (BCI) and its curriculum is also provided by BCI. Students have experienced internships at various High Courts, law firms, law chambers, commissions, corporate houses, and NGOs. LPU provides Experiential learning by Regular Open House Discussions to generate awareness about contemporary issues to identify corresponding legal challenges and implications. Effective learning, according to LPU, occurs outside of the classroom. As a result, students are motivated to augment their classroom learning by engaging in specially organized moot court and debate competitions. Moot Court contests held around the country have rewarded LPU Law students with awards. Moot court tournaments have also been held at the university on a national level. In addition, the department invites eminent guest lecturers from the legal profession, such as Advocate Rajiv Kumar, Advocate-On-Record (Supreme Court of India), to talk and encourage future lawyers. The aim of these guest lectures is to familiarise students with the intricacies of legal discourse. The School of Law is also known for hosting prestigious national and international conferences on a regular basis to provide academic support to students. In November 2017, LPU hosted the National Conference on Cyber Law and IT Security. Coming to the placements, LPU grooms the students for a successful professional career by offering soft skills classes that offer guidance on how to face interviews, dress code, preparing an impressive resume. Professional grooming combined with strong academics has helped our students to get internships and placements with companies like MAP Legal Corporation, Manupatra & Co, Integrity Associates, LEGASIS, Thomson Reuters, Chandigarh Bottle, and Distilleries, Sumati Legal Corporation, SNT Control Limited, JLL India Limited, etc. The Alumni are working as Judicial officers, Legal practitioners, and Corporate advisors, and Civil servants. I hope this helps! Thanks.

Hi, Coming to the question directly, I would prefer Lovely Professional University over Heritage Law College. LPU has a great infrastructure, organizes several extracurricular activities for the students. It also has comparatively better faculty. Further, LPU students also participate in various endeavors such as moot court competitions, debates, seminars, conferences among others. These activities play an instrumental role in providing great internship and job opportunities. Therefore, I would suggest you prefer LPU.

Rohit Sharma · Answer

Hi, I would prefer Lovely Professional University, Punjab over Heritage law college, Kolkata. Heritage Law College is comparatively new private college compared to Lovely Professional University, Punjab. It started two years back only and I think the only good thing about it is the fact of their effort to improve in placements, debating, less fees and the locational advantage. Lovely Professional University has better faculty and better infrastructure. Heritage Law College provides you opportunity to intern with some phenomenally well lawyers in Calcutta High Court and if you are going for litigation, it can be a good choice. However, the fact that it is very new is a major aspect to decide a college. If I were in your place, I would have choose Lovely Professional University.

Krishna Rodge · Answer

Hi, My suggestion to you would be to go for Lovely Professional University over Heritage Law College as LPU has good campus, hostel facility, good academic activities, library and placements. All these points make the Lovely Professional University as one of the best private Law Universities across India. On the other hand, Heritage Law College is very newly established hence it lacks a bit in various facilities.
