The coverage was good for nothing. I am a running student at RGNUL (penultimate year). Here it’s still stable. From what I have heard ‘only’ one person got a Tier-1 offer in 2024 batch (prolly) and that too via personal contacts at NUSRL. Just like CNLU the new batches are not that impressive. So it’s counter-productive to say the least.
And every tier-3 nlu has been boycotting some other classes for the past 2 years. The admin won’t budge. These universities are a dead end.
You can't blame LI. You need to take the initiative and hold protests, as was held in so many NLUs. Even tier 3 NLUs like Patna and Ranchi have held mega protests and got MSM coverage.
My dear friend, your concern for others is appreciated, but it doesn't identify the entirety of problems.
The fight is for changing the system. Problems with Tiers are just one of the results of the flawed system. What Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3. NLUs are failing. And not just Tier 2, Tier 3. But ALL OF THEM including Tier 1. People from Tier 1 come and bicker here to prove why one University is above the other. All NLUs and not just Tier 2 & 3 promote exclusionary education system. You would rarely see people from humble background taking admissions in these universities. If 5 people out of 120 belong to such background, then it's an exception not a norm.
Fees: Every NLU and not just Tier 2 & 3 charge exorbitant fees. Rs. 2.5 lacs per year could be now easily called as average fees for NLUs. Majority of people in this country don't have an annual income to that amount. And one wonders why does a degree in law require such heavy fee burden.
Every NLU and not just Tier 2 & 3 have admin issues. While I may agree that the authorities at 2 & 3 (generally) are more tyrannical (due to lack of proper representative authority of students, no pushback from Alumni base), Tier 1s have not completely shrug of such issues.
All NLUs promote corporatisation of legal system. While money remains one of the foundational ideal goals of an individual, NLU system has struck a deep blow to the traditional practice of law.
Not to mention, how NLUs have converted themselves into a place where students with deep pockets, who are brats of wealthy advocates and judges, take over the system and virtually diminish the balance which might be caused by an organised system.
And there are concerns. You yourself can better recall and summarise them.
Clat retake kar nehi toh end sems ke liya padhle. Aise LI peh crib karne se kaam nehi chalega dada.
Also along with NUSRL , DSNLU has a very pathetic placements cell. The professors in both of these colleges are biased and prefer their pets. Just an observation :)
Retake clat again if you feel unsettled in your tier-3 nlu.
IF you feel nervous to retake clat, actively work hard here. Reach out to professors and practitioners on LinkedIn, most importantly your alumni who made it into tier-1/2 law firms (I am sure there must be some) on how to improve your CV and portfolio.
Reach out to folks pursuing LLM at a decent foreign university. Make new connections with T-1 NLU ppl.
Improve your writing skills and article constructing style. Work really hard. Maybe you start your journey at a boutique firm but from there you can even go toe in toe with other law schools’s alumni if you are really that good.
I get it. Tier-1 NLU has an amazing tag. But what about the suffering tier-3 nlu ppl face? That’s never highlighted here.
What about the hostile administration at TNNLU, poor faculty at NLUJAA, worsening placements at NUSRL and inferior student quality in all of them including Jabalpur/Sonipat? Also bad conditions at MNLU Nagpur
We are human beings as well. Bura lagta hein jab aap suffer krte ho and the tier-1 nlus who are supposed to help you fight for their first world problems.
And every tier-3 nlu has been boycotting some other classes for the past 2 years. The admin won’t budge. These universities are a dead end.
So just boycott classes and go on strike.
