Please also clarify if this was a paid feature.
1) I agree that the quality of faculty is important and Jindal probably has the best faculty in India. But fees is also important and the fees at Jindal is too high.
2) Quality of placements and average starting salary is also important. The top 4-5 NLUs have great placements because of their alumni base, a reputation for having the best students and a small batch size. If Jindal had a batch size of 60 or 80, then it would be fairer to compare. But it has 400 to 500 a batch which is too many and cannot guarantee placements.
3) Having so many students also means that a large number of non-meritorious students get admitted, in contrast to NLUs. Thus, the student quality suffers and the quality of the peer group may not be as good as the NLUs.
4) It is wrong to say that the LSAT is a better test. It is important to have good GK. Also, it is good to test mathematics because it shows good analytical skill. The CLAT tests many things, whereas the LSAT only tests a few things.
It's not difficult to arrange for the faculty list of all the Universities (since everything is available now a days on Universities website).Try to compile a list of Professors, Associate Professors and Assistant Professors and publish that in one article before the CLAT result comes. You can also specify the placement record (if manageable) and moot record of these Universities. This can be done on the yearly basis around the month of March as it will prove to be very helpful for law aspirant student.
Hope this helps.
Also, we don't have campus managers. Should we? Managing them is quite hard work, and then getting interesting information out of colleges via campus managers is also hard and patchy, depending on the quality of managers that you have in each.
Re list of professors, etc, that's harder than it looks - many websites are ridiculously out of date and still list old faculty or don't list old ones.
Placement and mooting records, yes, you're right that would be useful.
All that said, been thinking of something along these lines though, will try and do something when there's some time that we can hopefully build up from and at some point do videos too.
I read that JGLS has signed a pact with Arizona Rogers Law School and Indiana Bloomington Law School.
Wanted to know whether 3 year LLB students are eligible for this US JD or not? On what basis are they considered - grades at JGLS?
Also what are the placements like for the 3 year LLB graduates at JGLS?
Thank you.
