NLSIU #1 yet again. NUJS #2 and NLIU #3. However, NALSAR, NLUD, NLUJ and JGLS did not participate, so this ranking is not reliable unlike NIRF, where everyone participates.

"Over the past year, we have built and deployed an online learning management system that ensures structured and reviewed syllabi for every course and easy availability of reading materials. NLSIU’s Elective Course programme has integrated external and internal faculty offering new and intellectually-challenging courses. As many as 55 external/ guest faculty have offered elective courses in the academic year 2020-21.
We adopted new academic and examination regulations for three major programmes to streamline academic processes and strengthen our ability to deliver high-quality programmes at scale. The examination process was facilitated via the learning management system and remotely proctored. Evaluations were done online and special arrangements were made to make the examination process accessible to differently-abled students. Students with limited or poor access to the internet and other related facilities were given financial subsidies. All activities related to campus hiring were shifted online due to the pandemic. While a more flexible approach in carrying out placements had to be adopted to cater to this shift, the hiring trends have remained consistent with previous years. There was no dip in hiring.”

"The first thing we made sure of when the lockdown was announced was to complete the examination of final-year students and bring out their results by June end since the placement process for the batch had already been completed and they were supposed to join work by the first week of July. This year, we had 100 per cent placement as all 90 students, out of a batch of 125, who applied, got recruited by top law firms. From the beginning, we ensured online access to our library by making-400 odd e-books of law and social sciences available to students. We also provided students with counselling sessions.
Special virtual lectures by experts on contemporary law, artificial intelligence and corporate law were incorporated into the schedule to help students, come placement time. Since organising physical mock courts and preparing students for arguments and court procedures are integral parts of a law course, teachers organised virtual court rooms and prepared students.
NUJS also brought a 100-odd final-year students—residents of remote areas who had been facing connectivity issues—back on campus to help them through the placement interviews within the campus environment while maintaining Covid-19 protocol. Moreover, NUJS reduced its fee structure by 30 per cent, keeping in mind the difficult pandemic situation.”

Congress spokesman and NUJS alum Jaiveer Shergill is boasting about NUJS getting 2nd rank in the ranking on Twitter. 🙄 I don't want to make it political, but this is another example of the kind of misleading information Congress spokesmen are tweeting day and night. This ranking did NOT consider NALSAR, NLUD and NLUJ, all of which are ahead of NUJS in NIRF. How can NUJS alumni take credit for this?? 😡

Chill bro, you don't need to feel sorry NUJS. Just cause one of the alumni is celebrating doesn't mean NUJS students or other alumni are celebrating. I didn't see any NUJS student celebrating.

You don't discredit the QS rankings or other world rankings just cause some of the Indian university did not participate. Similarly not all law schools participate in NIRF, that doesn't mean NIRF rankings should be discredited. (Not saying that NIRF ranking is correct and has no issues but still it more or less gives an idea about top 10-20 university in the country not necessarily in correct order)
