However I don’t like seeing anyone spending lakhs of coaching on clat
Secondly, It is immaterial by what strategy one secures the AIR (coaching, luck, meditation), as long as he actually secures it (in reservation one does not, one is instead provided concessionary seats) on the same test, exam time, centre, etc as everyone else.
Lastly, it is quite backwards and asinine to bring up post-selection performance when the grounds of selection are being called into question. Practical realities demand that a vast majority be eliminated and only a few let in. How, then, has performance 'inside' got any relevance with the buisness of entering inside? Are you merely fond of birthing disingenuous, paradoxical impasses?
To be clear - strictly speaking, the cream of the crop has increased in size at NLS. We've gone from 60 or 80 students net to nearly 100 All India General Gender Neutral Non-PWD seats (it's a sad day when you need so many adjectives to describe the only right way to get a seat). The cream has shrunk in proportion to the pot, but there is more cream than before, to be sure. Hopefully this cream will become the big cheeze and uphold the weight of the NLS tag on its shoulders. Atlas-style.
But at the same time, increase in Batch size in 5 year program and massive hike in reservations (from 20% in the past to 60%) will defenitely have an effect - it will decrease the quality of placements. It will not hurt NLS - it will give chances for more law schools, because firms will try for the best of the batches in more law schools than going for the worst in NLS with massive batch size.
