The National University of Study and Research in Law was formally inaugrated by the Chief Justice of Jharkhand High Court and Supreme Court Judge designate Gyan Sudha Misra On Monday, April 26, 2010.
The university becomes the 14th of the elite national law universities of the country. Initially it will be operational from its interim campus at BIT, Mesra. An MOU with BIT has enabled the law school to occupy the erstwhile building of small scale research and development organisation of BIT having 72 rooms. Arrangement has been made for the accommodation of 60 students of the new university at the BIT campus itself.
NLU Jharkhand is expected to start offering courses from July to 150 undergraduate students. Half of the seats will be reserved for students from the state. It will admit students through an all India entrance examination. A national law university in the state of Jharkhand was a dream of the first chief justice of the Jharkhand High Court, Justice V.K Gupta, since the creation of the state in 2000. A plethora of legal hurdles stalled its inception. The Government has already arranged for a corpus of Rs 50 crore and have appointed a core committee headed by Justice N.N Tiwary. The first task of the committee would be to appoint a vice-chancellor. Lets wish the infant law school all the very best for a radiant future.

People are soooo sick of the name thingy that the 6th college and onwards, they are simply referred by name of the city they are based in.
Boss think at least twice before making any comment. HNLU is not disaster. I do not want to start any debate on law schools, so it's better you don't reply to this message.
@ #2 - your comment is a bit strong. It is good to be moderate and place things delicately so that others are not hurt. Also, while HNLU may have done better w/o reservations, it has produced some great lawyers.
my point applies to all the others who have reservation....they should be called State law universities.
what a farce....they are just spoiling the name of the existing universities
I'm not here to debate upon the topic.. but the 50 % reservation has been inconclusive, atleast in terms of NLIU, and also HNLU.
Take the case of last year's clat... the state general category for NLIU closed 3 points below (at 153) the NLIU All-India General Category (at 157) in the first list, at the same time, one could get into NUJS with a 157 in the first list. If people on the other side of this argument do not understand what this implies, it merely signifies the fact that a person who crammed up the articles of the constituion better than another, or one who remembered which committee did what, and could recall this in the examination, and the other couldnt... the first one is a general category student, and the next is not.
And also, the CLAT is one such exam where the highest scoring candidate, might not be the most eligible one to study law, since its based upon parameters that a drop, or more hardwork, can improve, like GK, current affairs, etc.... So with a mere 3 point margin, I don't see how a national law University becomes a disaster.
And now on a personal note, since I am in NLIU, a college, which by your logic, is a reservation disaster... 2 out of the top 5 students are from MP. The team which won the Intra-Batch Moot consisted of 2 girls that came from Bhopal and Jabalpur and they beat a team with a guy from DPS, RKPuram in the finals. The only first year debater ever to break into the Debate Pool is a state category student from DPS Bhopal, and he's debate secretary now.
Im not trying to say that state category students hold the same merit. I'm saying that the criteria for merit is RANDOM. One cannot determine how well he or she might do in law school based upon clat marks.
Also, the highest ranked in the CLAT, in our batch, AIR in the 70s, failed most of the subjects in his first trimester, while the topper was a state category student with an AIR in 300s.
It doesnt matter, so get a life.
McDonalds has got competition in market coverage now!
I'm lovin' it!
I have face NLIU at moot court competitions and know people there. Its in all ways a good law school. And it is light years ahead all the new ones. But you cannot say there is no problem with a state quota. It kills a university. The problem of averages come out. You might have the best from the country at the top but then you also get people with quotas within state quotas with ranks which are beyond 2000 - which is a fair number. At NLS our average is good.
Thats what matters - recruiters look for the good average which counts for consistency. It saves law schools from the randomness of candidates.
With a better average - you have more people to do the same job. At NLIU, the people I know do everything.
I am from your university and I don't want to comment on the rest of your batch. Around 4-5 or may be 10 are good who belong to MP what about the rest? Well I would not like to comment on that and you also better not...
and I',\m not questioning your ability, I'm talking about the others...
Thanking You.
wen it happens wid others it can happen 2 d students of jharkhand.
r u ppl under clat?????????
wana know.........
b a part of d college as a student.
1) For those who think NLU jharkhand is going to be a disaster like HNLU....well it won't be!! that's bcuz HNLU in itself is not a disaster. If you don't believe me... check out the "india today" and "aaj tak" law college rankings...HNLU ranks 11th in the list. Hence, if HNLU can do it... so can NLUJ. To be diplomatic, after-all its an NLU and it will be far better than so many of traditional law colleges in India and at the end of the day it is going to earn a reputation. JUST BCUZ ITS A NATIONAL LAW UNIVERSITY :-).SO....CHILL GUYS!!
2) For those who say it is unconventional for an NLU to reserve 50% seats for the state students.... my dears...you might as well look at the number of seats. yes, there are 150 seats in total. thus 75 seats are still open for outsiders. that is perhaps more than what most of the NLU's have got to offer!!
3)For those who are worried about the rickety government issues... well its just to be optimistic. Take the example of other National Level colleges in jharkhand that have survived the governmental faliure in the state. . . . to quote a few names there are BIT mesra, XISS ranchi, XLRI jamshedpur, ISM dhanbad.....rather these colleges have evolved than taking a step back!!
END NOTE : AFTER-ALL ITS FOR THE WELL WISHERS TO BE OPTIMISTIC AND ENTHUSIASTIC FOR THE STEP THAT JHARKHAND IS TAKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE OF LEGAL EDUCATION IN THE STATE AND COUNTRY AT LARGE.
....AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A PROBLEM.... KEEP YOUR PONTIFICATING VIEWS TO YOURSELF...[...]
