The placement opportunities at the Department of Law, University of Calcutta are mostly practice-oriented, with students able to acquire jobs in the legal departments of companies. However, campus recruitment drives are not very common.
Every year, a good number of law firms visit the college for campus recruitment and select a significant number of students. The salary range for these placements is typically between INR 15,000/- to INR 20,000/- per month.
The college also provides compulsory internship opportunities for students in the District Court and High Court after their 3rd and 5th semesters, as part of the curriculum. While the college has had a good record of placements in various government sectors in the past, it is now also focusing on placing students in private sector legal roles.
However, some reviews suggest that the placement cell of the department is not very active currently, and students mostly rely on their own efforts and guidance from seniors to secure internships. Thus, the Department of Law at the University of Calcutta offers a mix of campus placements, internships, and opportunities in both government and private legal sectors, though the placement cell could be more active in facilitating these opportunities for students.
However, no authentic data is available regarding the latest placement drive conducted in 2023 at the Department of Law at the University of Calcutta as the official data is yet to be released by the University.
