VBU Hazaribagh is a State Level University

I am a student of University Law College that is constituent part of Vinoba Bhave University Hazaribagh. It is a prominent Institute of Law, which provides legal education at a very affordable cost. Events are organised quite frequently in our Law department as well as on the campus. Many co-curricular activities take place here. The main factor that made me choose this particular one is the fees being quite affordable. Another factor was that it is a State level Institution.

I am enrolled in B.A.LL.B (Hons.) course, as I was always keen to know about the Law and my rights as a citizen. An entrance exam is held for getting admission into this University. Along with meeting the cut off criteria in entrance exam, one has to pass 12th standard in order to get seat. In some semesters, the marking is relatively liberal and average marking is done, whereas in others, it seems to be quite strict.

I am in third year of my course. The fees amount including tuition fees, admission, and registration fees is Rs. 15,500/- per year. However, there is a hike in fees for the students enrolled in year 2025. Scholarships are provided to reserved caste category students.

All the faculty members are very friendly and cooperative. The method of teaching of the faculty members is outdated. They teach on white board and there is no smart board present in the University. The teacher-student ratio in the University can be much better, as the number of teachers is very low and keeps on fluctuating. All the faculty members are very knowledgeable and are ready to provide assistance even when students need their help outside aacademics.

Hostels of the VBU Hazaribagh are available at affordable costs. There are separate hostels for boys and girls. The girls’ hostel is a three-storey building with multiple bathing rooms and two washrooms present at every floor. Two-seater and three-seater hostel rooms are available with mess facility. Hostels have all the basic facilities, and food provided in the mess is decent. Proper hygiene is maintained in mess and in the hostel. Along with the hostel, even the mess facility is also quite affordable. An amount of Rs. 1500/- is charged as hostel fees on monthly basis. Along with the hostel fees an additional amount of Rs. 4000/- is charged as mess fees.

The infrastructure of the University campus is quite good. There are canteens present in the University campus. Almost all the necessary facilities are there on campus, including workshops, auditoriums, courts for different sports, etc. We have two large playgrounds, along with various courts for different sports, a beautiful park, as well as a pond inside our campus. The classrooms are quite big in size, having seating capacity of 120 students. Security measures have also been strengthened compared to earlier.

Crowd in the University is good as there are no vacant seats left in any of the batches. There are many clubs present in the University like Literary Club, Sports Club, Legal-Aid Club, and many other clubs. Every year, annual fests are organised in the University. Along with the annual fest, various festivals like Holi celebration and Basant Panchami are celebrated in the University as well. Overall experience of campus life is quite appreciable.
