People will not shy from hyperbole and point to metrics that matter to them, as if it is the law school that actually makes you. I was in the same boat as you 8 years ago, and chose RGNUL. Don't regret it at all. Made some great friends, mooted quite a bit, explored adr comps, interned, and got a tier 1 ppo (which i will leave soon so that my brain doesn't turn to mush)
I have no doubts that HNLU is a great place. My reasons for choosing RGNUL were personal and not based on the metrics that other people pushed down my throat even then, just as they're doing now. I decided based on HNLU's remoteness, its stifling administration, its significant reservation, RGNUL's infrastructure (which is much better than almost every other nlu, including HNLU's which I have visited), and RGNUL's proximity to Delhi and the hills of Himachal and Uttarakhand (which I explored fully).
No matter what you choose, you won't go wrong as long as you keep doing things without being stagnant. All the best.
