Tell us about the co-curricular and extra-curricular activities

Life outside the classroom is truly one of the highlights of KPMSoL. With over 10 vibrant committees—ranging from Moot Court and ADR to media, dance, drama, and literature—there’s always something exciting happening.

These platforms offer students opportunities to explore new skills, take initiative, and collaborate closely with seniors and peers. Additionally, frequent interactions with real-world professionals—judges, advocates, even commissioners—often open doors to internships. It’s an incredible space to grow, network, and genuinely enjoy the law school journey.

Rating: 4.5/5

How are the placements in your college?

Placements at KPMSoL benefit significantly from one key advantage—its location in Mumbai, the legal and commercial hub of India. Whether you’re aiming for litigation, corporate law, arbitration, or even niche fields like sports or media law, opportunities are plentiful.

Top firms like SAM, Trilegal, and Khaitan have hired from the college, and many students independently secure internships or pre-placement offers. While a placement cell is in place, the system especially rewards those who are proactive. The support is available—you just need to seek it out.

Rating: 4/5

How are the hostels in your college?

The hostel system is more flexible than traditional setups. While there are a few college-hosted accommodations in PG-style arrangements, most students opt for private PGs nearby—and there’s no shortage of options. Whether you’re looking for something budget-friendly or more premium, you’ll find places within walking distance or a short commute.

This flexibility allows students to choose what suits them best, and many feel that this independence enhances their overall experience of living and studying in Mumbai.

What are the best things you like about your college?

What truly stands out is the location—right in the heart of Mumbai. This means easy access to courts, law firms, internships, and networking events, making professional opportunities almost effortless to pursue. Although we’re a relatively young law school, established in 2013, our alumni have already made impressive strides in the legal field, and that’s something we’re genuinely proud of.

Adding to that is an incredibly diverse and driven student community. Whether you’re passionate about mooting, legal writing, business, or the arts, you’re sure to find your tribe here. Each year feels like a fresh chapter, full of new possibilities and experiences.

In your opinion, what are bad things about your college?

To be fair, most of the so-called ‘downsides’ are really just perspective-based. If you walk in comparing everything to an NLU, you might feel the difference in legacy — but that doesn’t mean the opportunities here are any less. In fact, the infrastructure is strong, the location is unbeatable, and the environment encourages you to take charge of your growth.

Being a newer law school means there’s still room to shape its identity, and that’s actually a great opportunity for those who want to stand out. At the end of the day, your experience will reflect how much you’re willing to make of it.

Anything else you want to share?

If you’re thinking about KPMSoL, here’s something to keep in mind — your experience truly depends on what you make of it. The college offers a solid foundation, a vibrant environment, and the unbeatable advantage of being in Mumbai, with its endless opportunities.

Whether you’re focused on law, leadership, learning, or networking, there’s plenty of room to grow and thrive. Every student finds their own rhythm and path here, so come with an open mind, stay curious, and don’t hesitate to create your own journey.

It’s not just about where you study, but how you make the most of everything the college has to offer. And believe me, there’s so much here to build something remarkable.

How would you rate your college overall on a scale of 10?
