Does anyone know salaries for law professors in India (entry level, post-LLM and post PhD) across NLUs and pvt law colleges?
For the NLUs and government universities, approximately 9 lpa at entry level gross after the 7th CPC. I didn't include employer's PF contribution here, you can add another 60k-ish p.a. for that at entry level. An annual increment of about 40k p.a. (might be more depending on the DA being given by the government). You are entitled to an increase of about 60k p.a. after you have finished your MPhil, and about 90k p.a. after you have finished your PhD. Other than that, there are going to be 5 promotions throughout your career. One after 5 years (4 for those with PhD) (Senior Scale Assistant Professor), second after another 5 (Selection Grade a Assistant Professor), third after another 3 (this makes you Associate Professor), fourth after another 3 (this makes you Professor), and final one after another 10 (Senior Professor). Each of these promotions you are entitled to regardless of the vacancies available at your institution (these are under the UGC CAS system). You can try to shorten aforementioned periods by applying for any vacant Associate Professor or Professor positions directly after 8 and 10 years of service respectively assuming you've got your PhD. Each of these promotions come with an increment usually equivalent to the annual increment of 40k mentioned above (would be more when you become AP and P respectively).

Private universities follow whatever rules they want to. Jindal of course is the best paymaster. It offers around 12 lpa to freshers (can be upto 14 if you have got industry work ex), plus free quarters, medical insurance, and research grant. These are for their Junior and Senior Research Associates. Full time Assistant Professors can get upto 18 lpa plus said perks. Associate Professor can get upto 22-24 lpa plus perks. Professors upto 30 lpa plus perks. Perks would also increase according to designation. But there's considerable negotiation involved and differential pay for different people.
Of other private universities, a lot pay less than 7th CPC. I don't know of any private law university in India other than Jindal which regularly pays more than 7th CPC salary to all its permanent employees.

Hope this is of some help to you.
So so comprehensive thank you! Any chance you'd know approximately how much certain private unis like say UPES, NMIMS, NIRMA, KIIT pay?
UPES and KIIT pay 7th CPC. KIIT also offers certain opportunities to their faculty members to head additional responsibility such as coordinatorship of certain courses for additional payment. Nirma did announce 7th CPC implementation back in 2018, although I do not know anyone who is teaching there currently, so cannot confirm. NMIMS I cannot confirm either.
As someone who has worked at both NLU and JGLS, this is the best rough sketch anyone could have drawn for you.
How difficult is it to get a job though? How often do private universities have vacancies at all and how often do NLUs?
If you have got UGC NET clearance and/or PhD, then not that difficult. Especially if you have graduated from an NLU. A foreign LLM would help further. Private universities keep recruiting throughout the year still, but not all of them would pay Seventh Pay salary. NLUs recruit less frequently, about once every 5 years on an average for permanent positions. But there are many NLUs now, so there is at least one opportunity every year. Places like JGLS recruit on a rolling basis if your CV has got the NLU+ foreign LLM tag (some industry work experience would be even better).
Does recruitment become difficult if you graduated from private university but have forenβ„’ LLM? How to bridge the gap?
57,500 is not 9 lakh tho? And how difficult to get a job at private university??
57.5k is the basic pay. Along with it are the allowances like DA, HRA and TA. All in all, it comes to around 75k. You're also entitled to two increments immediately on entry for your LLM degree provided you push for it.
How much does Alliance University, Bangalore pay to associate & professor grade sir. Plz throw some light.
