So yh those who do well at sls pune r doing much better than the avg nlu grad working in some random indian lw firm
Anyway faculty and facility wise sls is prolly better than most nlus except nls.
5 yrs itself feels a lot for law, 6 yrs now way!
Also ppl have no idea how difficult slat was this year. Many of those within air 500 in clat didnt get sls pune so yh its damn good if u did actually get sls
Covid happened (so 0 hostel fee) and we got a discount of 30k in our 7th sem (since 6th sem fees was fully paid but services were availed for 45 days) so I had to pay 1.07 Lakhs in my 4th year. I had to pay 1.37 Lakhs in my 5th year.
All in all I had to pay a little under 12 Lakhs for the 5 year degree.
The first 3 years were definitely difficult for my family, they sold an old car we had, pawned some jewellery for a gold loan etc, delayed paying our home loan instalments, and none of us had any health insurance (huge risk in covid) and plenty of other things.
Hope this answers your query.
Additionally, a huge number of people lose their scholarship in Jindal for any number of reasons because the policy is created that way — getting the scholarship is easy, retaining it all the way is not.
As such, even if you have the money, I'd highly recommend re-taking CLAT under better coaching mentors and utilising your privileged command on English to eventually end up at an established NLU that opens up many more options for you.
Given that there isn’t a great record of placements. How is this money going to come back to you ? Assuming you do the best that a student from Jindal can do and you get into a T1, how long would it take to earn back 60 lakhs ? 5 years ? Is that really worth it ?
If you have the option to join an nlu - you should. If you have the option to get a legal education anywhere else for less money- you should take it. Cause the ROI for this degree isn’t there.
And I hate to say it - but a lot of the stuff admissions teams promises you isn’t there either.
