NLU's are more like a full on 5 years of campus life like you have in IITs/Western countries. Here you have to study almost 4/5 years.
Question is do you want to have a campus life or just want to start interning from first year.
Placecom is for the rest of the kids who fail in landing a ppo. Kids who get internships through placecom don't have any work ex as the hrs rely only on marks and other bs criteria and 90% of these kids suck at their job don't get call backs and ppo and end up doing free labour for 1-2 months at various tier ones.
The smart ones don't even care about the placecom, they have been interning with tier ones since the 2-3rd year it self and have enough contacts (associates, friends etc) to apply on their own in their preferred team.
I have been interning for 2 years now and I have ppo interview scheduled with a tier one for next month and have never even applied once in rcc
Moreover it is to shut other NLUs up who have 3 threads a day comparing mediocre placements whilst shitting on GLC.
Crowd is irrelevant because there is hardly any college life. In GLC there is no one to blame, failure to land a job is completely ones fault. And trust me not landing a job after spending so much in sls feels more terrible compared to GLC.
Slsp is a great college but it isn't as rosy as you think and GLC isn't as bad as you think.
I am a second year student at GLC. I am absolutely astonished with the number of firms, chambers and companies that are taking interns from the college throughout the year! Its crazy. Everyday we are getting multiple notifications of internship opportunities from the placement cell. My point being that aspiring law students should absolutely consider GLC over T2 NLUs. If we take a pragmatic approach all of our ultimate goal is to get a good job and I believe GLC will at-least get you in the right places. You just need to be able to use the hundreds of various opportunities presented by the college. Plus the ROI is also much much better as compared to any other law school, since the college is heavily subsidised by the government. So even if you are unable to find a job with a few months of graduation, there is no looming threat of upcoming loan repayments.
