Experiences at Symbiosis Law School (SLS) Pune

Symbiosis Law School, one of the countries most prestigious law schools. Legal education is popular and prestigious, because firstly, you will know your own rights, and secondly, you will be able to help the society that faces unjustified injustice. If you think you are not educated enough to study here, you should sign up for training courses and use 123helpme for third-party help. The place everyone dreams of but only a few get into it. One of those intelligent minds who make up till there is Avadhoot Potnis. Let’s hear it up from him what is it to be at the Symbiosis Law School, Pune

When I look back, I feel time has passed too quickly. It feels like only yesterday I finished my board exams, and ended one of the most enthralling journeys of my life: The School. However this end was just a beginning, as it always is, a new start picks up where the old ends. It was time for college education.

Now that I find myself writing in the deep night, one semester down, of the experiences I encountered in my college, Symbiosis Law School, Pune… A smile escapes my face. Time yet again had run my past my being, passed too quickly, leaving behind a trail of memories.

If I had to explain my 1st semester in one word, that would be Divergent. It was different, a
completely new experience, I had faced nothing like that in my life before.

So, the college in which I am studying, Symbiosis Law School, Pune, was founded in 1977, and since has been one of the premiere institutes imparting legal education. According to the rankings, we are 4th, but personally I feel that’s all hyped up, but yes we will definitely rank somewhere between 5th – 7th place. It is one of the decent law colleges of the nation, contrary to the notions of some people who consider it a very degenerative place.

In my case SLS was not the plan, it was more of a backup sort. CLAT 14 was a major screw up, and I ended up here. However, I was not the only one. SLS is full of CLAT screw ups, who deserve to be in an NLU but do not get through in a good college because of the way that this examination is conducted, reservation system etc. Which according to me is a good thing, for the level of competition is pretty good. Academics are decent, favours tipping more in the side of good than
bad.

In Symbiosis, the batch sizes are huge, which have a paramount effect on college life. The amount of talent we possess is amazing, simply because we formidable bench strength and more number of
people. May it be co-curricular or extracurricular SLS has made a mark on everything. There is no
dearth of opportunities for those who earn it.

Life at symbiosis is a party, literally. College is filled with party freaks. This doesn’t mean we do not study or shit, it just means that we work hard and we play hard. College is not as strict as the NLU’s and gives a lot of personal space, but it also maintains a strong control over academics, attendance and assignments. You can find students from all walks of life, crazy party animals to geeky book worms. It is a learning experience when you interact with them, you get to learn and improve on so many things

SLS gives the added advantage of Pune, which is awesome. Hands down, Pune is a chill city. From its roots in deep history to its modern face, it is a much loved city. We just moved to a royal campus in Viman Nagar, which is one of the most posh and happening areas of Pune. But whenever there are talks of the old campus, all the seniors have a nostalgic smile on their face, and they still fondly remember the SB road campus, which was in the heart of the city.

In all my experiences at SLS were all pointing to one thing, constant learning and change is needed for survival. It was a learning experience, it had ups and downs, a lot of confusion, and I made mistakes… It was a roller coaster ride. I still feel it’s too early to pen down all of my experiences, I have spent too less time here to understand it fully.

If someone really wants to take a peek into the life in symbiosis law school, and is thinking of joining it, I would suggest to read this article by my senior Neeati Narayan 

That’s all from my side, I guess!
