Question 1

1. What is the mandatory attendance requirement?

Accepted Answer

In accordance with University of Mumbai and Shivaji University ordinances, as well as Bar Council of India (BCI) norms, a minimum of 75% attendance in each subject is strictly mandatory. Impact: If your attendance falls below 75%, you may be debarred from appearing in the semester-end examinations. Relaxation: In exceptional cases (like medical emergencies), a relaxation up to 65% may be considered at the Principal’s discretion, provided valid documentation is submitted.

Question 2

2. Is there a specific dress code for students?

Accepted Answer

Shahaji Law College maintains a professional atmosphere. While there is no uniform for daily classes, the following rules apply: Routine Classes: Decent formal or semi-formal attire is expected. Moot Courts & Formal Events: A strict "Advocate's Attire" (White shirt, black trousers, and a black blazer) is mandatory for moot court exercises, university practicals, and official seminars. Identity Cards: Carrying and wearing the college-issued ID card at all times on campus is compulsory for security and attendance tracking.

Question 3

3. Does the college provide on-campus hostel facilities?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the college offers separate hostel facilities for both boys and girls. Facilities: The hostels provide safe and secure accommodation with basic amenities including a mess, library access, and security. Admission: Seats are limited and are generally allotted on a merit-cum-need basis. Outstation students are advised to apply for hostel accommodation immediately after securing college admission.

Question 4

4. What are the passing criteria for LL.B and B.A. LL.B?

Accepted Answer

The evaluation follows the credit-based system of Shivaji University: Minimum Marks: Students must score at least 45% marks in each theory paper and internal assessment. Aggregate: To be promoted or awarded the degree, students must maintain the prescribed overall percentage for that academic year. Internal Assessment: This includes marks for tutorials, moot court exercises, and practical training sessions.

Question 5

5. Can I join a diploma course along with my regular degree?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many students choose to pursue a Diploma in Taxation Law (DTL) or Diploma in Labour Law (DLL) alongside their degree. Eligibility: Admission to these diplomas is usually on a first-come, first-served basis and is independent of the MAH-CET score. Advantage: These one-year courses are highly valued for specializing in specific legal sectors and are often scheduled to avoid overlap with regular LL.B lectures.

Question 6

6. What is the "Non-Grant" vs. "Aided" division system?

Accepted Answer

Since Shahaji Law College is a government-aided institution, it has two types of seats: Aided (Grant-in-Aid): These seats are highly subsidized with very low tuition fees. Admission to these is strictly based on high MAH-CET merit ranks. Non-Grant (Un-aided): These seats have higher fees as they do not receive government funding. However, the curriculum and faculty remain the same for both divisions. Note: Being admitted to an aided division in the first year does not automatically guarantee an aided seat in subsequent years if a student's merit rank drops significantly.
