What is the scoop? Is FM getting a third term as NALSAR Vice-Chancellor? Most faculty and students that I've spoken to seem to be in favour of continuity. NALSAR has just started a 5 year Integrated Programme in Management this year so they will need to first develop the necessary infrastructure to support that (classrooms, targeted faculty hiring). They seem to be almost done with new hostel blocks and additional halls in the dining area. It is doubtful that they will straightaway start a 3 year LL.B. in 2022. That could perhaps take another 2-3 years to materialize. Knowing FM, he will not make impulsive decisions even though sometimes he makes grand and impractical claims.

In fact, NALSAR planned a 3 year LLB much before Sudhir, plus a plot of land in central Hyderabad and 2 extension centres in Warangal and Nizamabad were promised by the government. All this got shelved because of the Covid chaos and drama regarding OBC reservation, then Sudhir cleverly took the idea and now NLSIU will troll NALSAR and accuse NALSAR of copying them. 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡
