NLU Mumbai, the only one of three national law schools to be established in Maharashtra that previously appeared to be on schedule after appointing vice-chancellor Bhavani Prasad Panda, has been plagued by bureaucratic roadblocks, reported the DNA.
The university would be unlikely to be able to offer admissions in the 2015-16 academic year, an unnamed official told DNA: “Prof Panda has been running from pillar to post to meet the CM to set the ball rolling for MNLU, but to no avail. Babus in the chief minister’s office and the higher education department have kept the ace academician waiting for the past one and half months completely, ignoring the urgency of the matter.”
Panda, however, remained optimistic to the paper, saying: “I am still hopeful to start the MNLU this year provided the government gives me a temporary campus. I have been put up at Ismail Yusuf College in Jogeshwari. A few rooms in the same campus would be fine to start with 60 students. This campus is spacious and has surplus land. The MNLU can be established here later on. This place is close to airport also, which goes in its favour.”
And while the college had missed the deadline to be enrolled in the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) this year, Panda told DNA that he had “convinced” NLU Delhi to hold a join admission test for both colleges in NLU Delhi’s All India Law Entrance Test (Ailet), which is separate from the CLAT

NLS has no scams!! NUJS is leading the trend in terms of scams!!
running total
nls - scams relating to vandalism = 3
scams relating to construction = 2
scam relating to academics = 2
and of course venkat is one big scam himself =D
By that logic Nagarbhavi is far from Bangalore HC or any other 'commercial' district. NUJS is equally far from Kolkata HC and NALSAR is in a different district almost in nowhereland. NLU Jodhpur is ....wait a minute Jodhpur itself has no commerce or a HC LOL :D
And Jogeshwari is only an hour or two by train from the HC, no? That's roughly the same as NLU Delhi in Dwarka... (or Shameerpet for Nalsar, or Nagarbhavi for NLSIU)...
Churchgate is 35 mins by fast train and 45 mins by slow train!! Now an "hour or two"! and the HC is 5 mins (maximum) walking distance from churchgate station..
Fair enough, maybe it's not 2 hours, but it certainly feels like 2 hours in the middle of summer :)
what is wrong with 29 NLUs?? Are you insecure? Have a large heart my friend
