Hi, I got a rank around 1000s in CLAT. However, I'm looking to upgrade with vacancy, currently I think I will get NLUO.

How high should I aim for? Can any student in RML, HNLU and RGNUL please give a short pro-con for joining their Universities? We aspirants have to blindly trust coaching rankings and we have no true information about the insides.

I also have been selected for SLS Pune's interview rounds and I have Jindal in my pocket already. Please guide.

Thank you.

If its not a huge financial burden for you, Jindal for SURE. Same for SLS Pune as a next choice. Then look at the lower NLUs.

If you’ve got money go to Jindal with eyes closed. If you’ve got a little less money go to symbi. this would be my list:

JGLS > Symbi P > NLUO > RMLNLU > RGNUL> HNLU

Jindal or sls pune is way better

Regarding Jindal, I would say that go for it over these colleges if you have no problem with the fee.

Ragging is bad? Wow! I was 2012 batch, and the entire batch was (in)famous for crappy fights and ugly boys and girls. Glad we graduated and rid the college of us. Is it even worse now? Putting down my two bits about RML:

(+) Lots of guidance on preparing for higher studies, judiciary, civils, other competitive exams, litigation, etc.

(-) Bad / limited guidance on corporate/ transactional law.

RML for litigation, HNLU for Corporate, NLUO and RGNUL if you want to try something different

Fights? Really? I didn't know about that part. Haven't heard anything of that sort in any other NLU.

Wow, we guys didn't rag our juniors, and they didn't get a chance to rag their juniors either. So I think your information is a little outdated.
Anyways reiterating your points..
Debating and Mooting culture is good.
It's Better than almost every other NLU in terms of govt. Exams.
A decent amount of people are going for foreign Llms too.
People are taking up corporate jobs too but the number is not that high.
Academic pressure is almost next to no, so you have a lot of time to do your thing.
Admin Is not all that great.

Gnlu is better than all other colleges

Bro / Sis, no one asked about GNLU

Don't even factor in ragging. How are seniors going to rag you over Zoom? Not a factor for this batch.

Physical classes would resume eventually.
