Few private universities pay that salary, most pay less. Jindal pays much more, but it will differ for differently people based on negotiation. Freshers recruited as junior or senior research associates there with foreign LLM degree usually start with around 1-1.2 lakh per month. Assistant Professors with around 1.5. There's no slab as such for people at higher positions. Hope this answers your query.
Hear me out: At NLUs (no idea about private), I have to teach for 2-4 hours DAILY, which I have to do here fortnightly leaving actual time for research and other things. So it is also not JUST about money, even when JGLS pays 3x that what NLUs may pay. European universities pay 6-7x (US universities would pay 8-9x but living costs are 2x that of Europe). For the record, many NLUs just do not even bother granting interviews to foreign-qualified candidates: happened with me and too many friends for it to be a mere coincidence; not speaking about NLS though - have no experience.
I was thinking Ashoka may be legit quite good because they have a thin teaching load but they do not have a law school (even though they have some law subjects taught in other degrees) so they need only a couple of law professors which they already have.
Moreover, if I want to have a family, I do need a stable job location-wise, you see; I just cannot work for five years in Delhi, then five in Mumbai and then Bangalore. It would be unreasonable to demand that from my partner.
