IIULER was constituted India International University of Legal Education and Research of the Bar Council of India Trust at Goa Act, 2021 (Goa Act 16 of 2021) - It is the only PRIVATE UNIVERSITY in the State of Goa.
Refer UGC Website to know IIULER is a PRIVATE University: https://www.ugc.gov.in/universitydetails/university?type=0wBmFB1Rb4JGVzq9UP/iOg==
They are actually deceiving people and students by stating it as a Public University!
Never ever fall in their trap!

2. More importantly, they aren't making outrageous claims about how they are the best in the country in every aspect without having the facts to support such claims.
IIULER has offered to give a 50% discount on their academic fee for the first year of 5 year course, which is still an exorbitant amount and it's even higher than Symbiosis, Pune (incl. accomodation).
They've said that they will update about next year scholarships based on results (so it could be anything from 5% - 50% concession for 2nd years).
Nevertheless, I would like to update my stance as I've been quite rigid about the prospects in my previous comment. You can consider it an okayish option if:
1. You've enough resources to finance it.
2. You don't seem to have a scope of clearing CLAT/SLAT/MHCET.
3. You're not in a position to take a drop year/another drop year.
4. You've a genuine interest in researching the unexplored legal domains (Space laws, Marine laws, Data protection laws) which haven't been delved into by India.
5. You would like to have a comfortable 5 years partying in Goa.
Other than the listed situations, I can't think of any other situation where one should be joining this scam of an institute.
Legal question: Can a regulator enter the field as a competitor of what they are regulating? I as a lawyer deeply doubt this but would love to hear from my friends.
1. It's in the middle of a jungle (literally), the campus which is being constructed is on peripherals of a reserve and some mill.
2. You'll be the first batch.
3. You don't have a VC yet.
4. It's going to take 3 years for the main campus to be built. (Could be more)
5. The current campus has been a controversial building as well, it has been scrutinized in the past for being poorly administered after it's construction.
6. BCI Pearl Trust is NOT a government entity, it's just an association and it's going to be tough to raise your voice against mishaps which is the case in most privately run institutes.
7. And the most important deal breaker, fees. I've already mentioned the scheme of IIULER in https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/232734-Is-IIULER-worth-it-#comments (Alias Aspirant Ash)
8. Let me elaborate more on the fee front which is about 10 Lakh for an year i.e 50+ lakhs for 5 years. Even if you're thinking that you'll manage the 40% Scholarship the fees which will be about 6 lakhs and mind it that it's based annually on your academic performance, so you've to perform exceptionally well for 5 years to redeem that and even if this is not enough to sway you away, they have the audacity to mention that they'll raise the fees by 10% (not kidding).
9. If you were planning to take an education loan, just imagine paying that kind of money. You've to work 3+ years without any savings to pay it off, probably more. Daunting, isn't it?
Although, if you wish to stay in the middle of jungle in the state of goa being the first batch of students with oddly 30-40 elite people who are there because of daddy's money then go for it.
Note: The uni hasn't specified the batch size yet, from my insight it won't be above 150 students including the LLM candidates because of such extravagant fee.
This university smells sus, I would advice to steer clear mere bhai ❤️
Anyways I wish luck to IIULER but just talking big on website doesnt help, let them actually show some results and one can then consider and rate them.
Of course, it will. Only the privilege lot will get entry and by virtue of being privileged they will have better opportunities and hence better career.
IIULER's entrance is going to be held on 4th September this year and the first batch is going to start from the third week of September. The infrastructure campus (though a transit one) looks absolutely fantastic. The hostel rooms too, prima facie, look no less than hotel rooms. As per their website, the college is going to provide internships and placements under renowned advocates and national/INTERNATIONAL law firms. It will also be having three compulsory foreign University visits throughout the 5 years. The fees looks to be a bit hefty though; slightly more than Jindal. Many advocates are of the opinion that IIULER will soon over take the NLUs. Legally India readers, what are your opinions on this?
