Par chalo main toh 1 - 2 saal mein nikal jaunga,28 waale dekh le ab college ko kaise bachana hai.
And no if you suffer from a genuine ailment, the college does not take that into consideration. I know batchmates who have had to voluntarily discharge themselves or sit in class with a highly contagious disease just to ensure that you don't get de barred. Law school is about studying hard, I get it, but the need to sit through a bad class simply because you need attendance is detrimental to the students
A. - NLU
The VC or at least the ex VC has been more concerned with her own reputation rather than anything to do with improving the college, and she has largely taken a back step for many years now. Which combined with the fact that the NLUJ act gives her a lot of power means that nothing much gets done
Now lets look at the dean, the dean is a man well into his late 80s early 90s, who would have no issues watching the college go down the drain, because his view for nluj is to simply treat it as a local college where there are absolutely no standards to be maintained
Would you mind creating a thread asking for feedbacks and suggestions on the new interface, as active users on the platform we should have a say na. What do you say? 😄
As for attendance issue, you are getting a whole 30% concession already on attendance. Don't say that you are not getting any. If you choose to squander that concession by not attending to class voluntarily and then ask for additional leeway on health grounds, that's entitlement on your part, not necessity. Again, if someone suffers from a genuine ailment that makes them lose out on 30%+ classes, then I am sure the authority will consider that. If they do not, then protest against that, not for your own entitled version of your right not to attend classes. Maybe if you people actually attend the classes and do the readings, then you won't need a 'backlog system'.
Law school is supposed to be a place where people should study hard and not hardly study. If you can't cope with that, then choose a different discipline that suits you better, or a different institution.
NLUJ does not have a backlog system, if you flunk your exam you will be awarded one more opportunity and if you fail to pass then you have to repeat the entire semester next year.
This combined with the lethal BA faculty means that the batch of 120 loses at least 10 people to this system.
Attendance Policy: You don't get any concession whatsoever on Medical Grounds, you need to maintain a minimum 70% attendance, while it might appear fine, one of our uni's graduates used to attend lectures on a ventilator during COVID (he unfortunately passed away), others this past semester attended college while they had chicken pox, as they know they will be debarred and will have to repeat the entire semester next year so they have no choice but to attend.
Especially the ▮▮▮ faculty.
Hell, even my school teachers had a better methodology than half of these teachers in 3rd, 4th and 5th year. I would’ve been better off if I got a lesser rank in CLAT and went for GNLU or Jindal lol.
- The admin is absolutely stale and has no vision for the university, has a ram bharose attitude towards administration, with absolutely hostile attitude towards students.
Case in point: Attendance Policy, no backlog policy, curfew timings, exam pattern etc.
- There is absolutely no dilution of student quality, NLUJ is probably the only NLU with no state based quota and amongst a few who have no OBC quota, with a batch strength of 120 from a very long time, I don't see any dilution from the side of the university, the pandemic has however changed things with many 3rd years having no basic knowledge of core subjects like crime, contracts, constitution etc.
- Very true, there is not a single permanent faculty in NLUJ, good faculty come and after seeing the contractual nature of the job leave, the court infact ruled against their contractual
and hire and fire policy (HC) but a stay on the same was granted by the SC.
Young faculty who join the university leave after getting their PHDs.
- I disagree Jindal and other colleges have not being able to steal the thunder of NLUJ just yet with NLUJ having placements at par to WBNUJS and NALSAR with a smaller batch size. We also have maintained the two vac schemes per batch statistic for a long time.
- Literally no support from the state government, due to the tussel between the two regarding the Domicile policy and appointment of registrar the University has not seen any flow of substantial funds from the government.
The VC refuses to bend over backwards for the receiving of more funds. (As evident by her speech)
- I can write whole paragraghs, what you call poor work ethic is just gen z standing up for their rights and not taking abuse from the superiors, as evident by the decline of ragging culture or be it students protesting for their rights against PPS and admin.
Just wait for 5 months, the tenure of PPS is about to end, I am quite hopeful that we as an institution will rise and again regain our past glory.
We just got 3 offers from london firms
If we talk about the perception of a candidate who is appearing for CLAT then GNLU seems a more compelling choice as compared to NLUJ. Gone are the days when a university was judged on the basis of it's establishment year, and it's quite practical also. I encountered one of the aspirant switching from NLUJ to GNLU due to poor facilities in the hostel, it might not go below NLIU but it is surely not taking over GNLU in the next 5 years or so.
I'm not going to turn this into another NLUJ vs. GNLU but what the OP suggests has credibility to some extent.
Some theories I have heard from people regarding NLUJ's decline are:
- Stale admin with no vision and reluctance to involve alumni
- Dilution of student quality because of various reservations and quotas
- Departure of some good faculty
- Rise of Jindal and some new NLUs, taking way jobs that may have otherwise gone to NLUJ
- Lack of support from present government
- Alleged poor work ethic of Gen Z (people make the same complaint of other law schools too, so I would discount this)
