I have personally seen TNNLU kids, won't say they are the best when it comes to talking or even presentation, but their work is pretty neat. Also, they are indeed very humble. I think it has to do with the culture back there too.
I have seen kids from DSNLU too and it is fair to say that TNNLU students fare much better. DSNLU is also heavily ridden with reservations, but I have seen the pathetic batch quality and poor performance in internships barring a few kids. I remember some co-interns from DSNLU who actually left a bad impression because of their conduct, constant roaming around, failure to maintain courtroom decorum, poorly dressed etc. all this in a judicial internship lol.
There is this huge language problem that I noticed in TN, where a majority of these kids are not able to speak English fluently nor do they have the exposure.
TNNLU on the other hand may have a lot of reservations etc. but still has kids that actually cleared CLAT and do have decent exposure. I won't say they are pretty great when it comes to advocacy and even communication but their work submitted in internships is pretty decent and consistent.
1. Tamil Nadu is a wealthy industrial state with global reach - Chennai is an Industrial behemoth and it's companies do business across the world. Most students in TNNLU would easily get jobs in Chennai.
Tons of legal jobs in Chennai with relatively low competition. Jobs in Chennai doesn't have national competition which cities like Bangalore/Mumbai has because of the language barrier. More legal jobs will come in Chennai. Chennai has a lot of scope for expansion of its legal market.
2. Lack of quality law schools in Tamil Nadu - most of them are not good, colleges where students are not well versed in English. There is no Symbiosis, Jindal/Private likes. Saveetha and VIT can't match up to other private law schools in the country.
So if any corporation or law firm in Chennai wants to hire - they have only few options - TNNLU, Dr. Ambedkar and Sastra. Employers do have the NLU bias which again helps TNNLU.
3. Money, Government Support - Tamil Nadu government largesse. 150 crore? No big deal for Tamil Nadu government.
4. Very humble students - I have colleagues from TNNLU. Especially tamilians they are very friendly, progressive and hardworking. Never came across arrogant or flashy kids. I would happily hire from TNNLU/DSNLU than Jindal or Top NLU where I have to tolerate arrogant behavior.
The student crowd and the facilities are comparable to NLU-O and NUALS. At the end of the day, it's just clear that TNNLU is a much better university than the MNLU's.
Further, NLU Nagpur's graduates are also pursuing/ have pursued BCL/ LLM from Oxford, Cambridge, Queen Mary and Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights.
