There are no hostel facilities available for law students in the campus, except only for 5th year students.

What are the best things about your law school? *
Best things are the campus, the library and the ever growing mooting culture of our institute.
.
ILNU recently won prestigious moots like NALSAR moot, BCI Moot for the 3rd consecutive time and other major moots of the country.
.
The students of ILNU have left a mark at the national as well as international mooting arena in the recent times.
What are the worst things about your law school? *
The worst things are the attendance criteria which is 85%, college timings which are too long for any law school, unnecessary harassment of students by taking exorbitant fines like Rs 5000 for getting caught with mobile in the class, or Rs 5000 again for Term Not granted (when you fail to pass a subject based on your internals as well as semester end examinations).
.
Most of the time, the grievances of the students are unheard even though we have a grievance redressal committee, and administration uses the high attendance criteria mostly to harass students.
Other things?
Overall if you’re ready to bear the long college hours with the extra burden of projects, assignments, exams all at the same time, coupled with high attendance criteria and strict teachers, you will find ILNU to your liking. Academically ILNU stand with the very best of law schools in the country and the ever growing mooting culture is one of the perks of being here.
.
The library, the campus and the sports complex are top notch with other major facilities like remote access to database, WIFI, AC, Moot court halls, Reading Room, Cyber lab, Classrooms equipped with projectors and charging points and Common room for girls as well as boys are also of the highest standards.
.
You will find really good crowd of students here mostly which are from Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat and some of whom will become your friends for life.
.
ILNU is far better than lower tier law and even some of the medium tier law schools. The standards and stature of ILNU is increasing with every passing year and the students and the teachers have a major role to play in it.
