Go to any conveniently located 3-year college in Bangalore, start practice and forget about the whole "NLSIU 5yr v 3 yr v Jindal v NUJS" crap. Do your best and then focus on your clients and the profession will reward you even if the trolls snicker. Unless you have a golden family entry ticket, law requires and invites you to make your own way. Get in somewhere, do your work, and serve your clients faithfully, you'll be perfectly happy in life.
KLE is a great college; however, it is affiliated with KSLU. I don't study at KLE myself, but being under KSLU, I can attest to its terrible reputation. The exams are fairly easy, and the syllabus is quite good. The syllabus, along with the way exams are structured, expects you to thoroughly understand the law. Additionally, KSLU places significant emphasis on learning the practicalities of the law. A substantial part of the syllabus comprises practical training subjects such as ADR, moot courts, internships, and court visits. Students are expected to shadow advocates, maintain diaries of their work at law offices, keep a court diary, and have a case diary (where they follow a specific case, attend hearings, and record arguments and such). KSLU has a strong focus on litigation.

The problem with KSLU is that they do not carefully evaluate your answers. Evaluation at KSLU is subpar, and not many students pass on their first attempt. In fact, the pass percentage is so low that no student expects to clear all their papers in one go. However, most students who initially fail end up passing after re-evaluation. It's not impossible, and many students do pass all their papers in the first attempt, but succeeding requires much more than just writing well. Moreover, since it's a state university, there are administrative issues to deal with such as delays in announcing exam dates, making it challenging to plan internships.

This is not meant to discourage you. Students at universities affiliated with KSLU are still succeeding. You just need to put in a bit more effort compared to NLU students. NLS is a great option if you can afford it, but remember that their 3-year program is new (only in its second year). You're better off choosing a college with a strong alumni network and a well-established program. Just ensure that whatever college you choose has excellent administration and a robust support system. KSLU is already challenging to deal with, so don't add a bad college to the mix.
