Between Jamia and AMU, AMU is the preferable choice. The only drawback of AMU, as a law college, is its location. It is situated in a semi-urban area. This constricts the sea of opportunities that can come along the way if they were located in a completely urban area.
Despite the locational disadvantages, you should keep AMU as your first choice. Here are the reasons why.
AMU:
Culture:
It has a distinctive culture, unlike any other college.
Faculty:
The professors appointed have years of experience, they are one of the oldest members among the multiple law colleges across the globe.
Ranking:
In recent years the ranking for AMU for Law is as follows.
- 13th for LAW by NIRF’20
- 11th for LAW by Indiatoday’20
- 8th for Law by Indiatoday’19
JMI:
Coming to Jamia, the first problematic area of this college is the lack of dorm facilities. Students face, consistently, hostel-related issues. Unlike AMU, Jamia doesn’t have a distinguishable culture on campus, which equals dull campus life.
The courses offered by Jamia are as follows.
- Five years integrated BA LLB course
- Four semester LLM course in three different streams i.e. personal law, criminal law, corporate law.
- Ph.D. program.
The scoring of Jamia, based on different aspects is -
- Reputation- 11
- Academic input- 12
- Student care- 11
- Infrastructure- 12
- Placements- 13
- Perceptual rank- 12
- Factual rank (2020)- 9 (NIRF)
Therefore, from the above discussion of facts, it is safe to say AMU should be the first choice.
