HPNLU Shimla After 4 Years | The Honest Student Perspective ft. Himanshi | Law School Talks Ep.30

Welcome to another episode of Law School Talks. In this episode, I am in conversation with Himanshi, a Batch of 2027 student at Himachal Pradesh National Law University, Shimla (HPNLU), who is entering her fifth and final year of law school. Having spent four years at HPNLU, Himanshi shares her experience of life at one of India's newer National Law Universities. We discuss academics, faculty, internships, placements, mooting, student culture, hostel life, the unique experience of studying law in Shimla, and the opportunities and challenges that come with being a student at HPNLU. We also address some of the questions that prospective students frequently have about HPNLU, including whether the university is worth considering, how much its location affects student life and internships, and how it compares with other NLUs. Most importantly, this is a conversation based on four years of lived experience, rather than simply a discussion based on rankings or online perceptions. In this episode, we discuss: • HPNLU and the journey to law school • Academics and faculty • Internships and practical exposure • Placements and career opportunities • Mooting and extracurricular activities • Campus and hostel life • Student culture and peer group • Life in Shimla • Advantages and challenges of HPNLU • Expectations versus reality • Whether HPNLU is worth considering • Advice for CLAT aspirants If you are considering HPNLU or comparing different NLUs, this conversation should give you a more realistic picture of what four years at the university can actually look like. 🎥 ABOUT LAW SCHOOL TALKS Law School Talks is a student led interview series hosted by Ajay Kumar Choudhary (Kaey Cee) featuring conversations with students from law schools across India.
