Some tier-3 nlus do not even have a stable placement cell. And those who do have - are likely inactive because nothing good is going on there aside the nlu tag. MNLU Nagpur kids feel that they own the world whereas in reality the placement stats are not even out and they don’t have ANY tier-1 recruitment drive.
NUSRL and DSNLU are sleeping with problems plaguing their administration.
The only stable nlu like NUALS is still the hope.
Any solutions for these nlus?
Solution is simple:
1. Have all law students in India enter through CLAT, like NEET, this will decrease the number of law students and increase value per student
2. Make AIBE multi parter, like in the UK, this will further filter out inadequate candidates, which again will increase value per candidate
3. Newly opened NLUs should give 20k stipend for students who want to practice at HCs, like GNLU, for 2 years to differentiate themselves from similarly perceived private colleges

Then how can u say that they won'tgo after gnlu/nliu
Talking about ties, then no law school will ever lose placements, law firms used to go to GLC and ILS a lot, now they hardly hire from there (except PPOs) NLIU used to have a very good placement record, now it's in shambles. A similar thing will happen to the lower NLUs in the coming years
The idea posed by the OP was that MNLU-N is on a downward trajectory and he/she also reasoned his/her assertions. I think everyone got what he/she meant and it wasn't necessarily untrue.
There have been many administrative issues resulting in a situation where an NLU sank. Take NLIU for instance which is the 2nd NLU to be established after NLS, when the director resigned after a week of student protests, and the registrar was suspended for selling fake degrees in the same term. If that episode did not happen, one could argue that it would've not been where it is currently placed.
You may also take the example of HNLU, whose perception sank after the perennial hard-handedness of the administration came to light in 2018.
So, an NLU isn't as sink-proof as his highness might think.
PS: use the tags judiciously.
To clear firstly about the funds.
NLU Nagpur is the only NLU in Maharashtra which is making it's name in the state's annual budget since last 3 years for each year's basic administrative & functioning Aid.[Verify it by going through the Maharashtra Annual budget Pdf for the past three financial years]
Coming to placements
Yes the On Campus placement scene is not as good as what others well established campuses have but we are definately improving on that front too .
Could confirm a MNC visiting for on campus placement drive for batch of 23 . But yes the on campus placement is not that attractive.
But the environment here is well enough that if you're determined you could easily crack and secure PPOs at Trilegal[2 PPO for batch of 23],Khaitan,Argus & Fox Mandal.[ Kindly do some efforts in 'LinkedIn hunting' for gathering credible information rather than throwing comments in the sky]
No new NLU from the time and around the time when NLU Nagpur was built has ever published placement data for their first batch but placement stats for our first batch of 21 is available publicly that to on NIRF.
Coming to the amount of fees which the University is charging, Please come to our University as then only you would realise how that every penny which is being charged is being utilised to keep the standard of the Infra in the Campus High in comparison to other dilapidated NLUs Infra.
Adding to the high fees component criticism ,The University is the foremost collaborative with other state government for ensuring that scholarship scheme of different states govt is easily availed at NLU Nagpur.
Students from MP,UP,RJ & MH are the one who mostly enjoy these benifits.
The university is expansion mode ever since it's inception it started with the humble intake of 60 students and today it welcomes around 250+ students every year.
To give you a spoiler, the numbers are over 70 in toto. Out of which 40-45 are tier 1s or so to say the firm's who pay salaries above 14 LPA.
