It has good judging, a problem framed by Niranjan V. and healthy participation.
It features nowhere in the MPL. Why?
Dumbo, the last line of the articles says that it has been added as a tier 5 international moot.

ILS didn't qualify. Just because you won jessup south, don't show off and comment on every page.
What on earth gave you the idea that I am from ILS? Sarcasm, mate, sarcasm.
Chill out, dudes. Oxford and Leiden are hardly going to rig their selections. So obviously ILS will not participate, or if they do, will not qualify. Such is life.
NUJS did not participate in the Oxford - IP Moot this year.
so before passing snide remarks......
Which Tier is it now?
Or is not there at all in the MPL?
Let me clear a few things first. The various criteria used in the inclusion of a Moot in the MPL are the number of teams participating, the popularity of the moot,etc. The organizing college is never a factor here.
Also, we have never said that a moot cannot be added at a later stage. In this season, the Commonwealth National Rounds and the Leiden Sarin Air Law Moot were added to the list of MPL Moots at a later stage.
Right now, we are internally deliberating about the inclusion of Fiat Justitia in the MPL.
Hope that answers your questions!
Best,
Prashanth
Thanks for your supportive response. I hope we will be able to see 'Fiat Justitia' either in Tier 4 or Tier 5. Thanks for adding Leiden Sarin.
I know popularity is important factor, thats why BCI International Law is being placed in Tier 3, even though the problem this year is not according to the traditional BCI moot, which is not happening this year.
But I dont see marks of Leiden Sarin Air Law to be updated in the recent standings, as NLU Delhi is still on 71 points, even though they have won national rounds and best memorial. I hope we will see these changes soon.
Thanks,
Prashanth
Expected. It wasn't rigged, so obviously they won't come.
You people cant digest the fact that you lost.
Thanks,
Sanjay.
