Bro, NLUD is beyond competition for NLS, NALSAR etc. It is the best place to study law in India right now and the next step is to compete with global universities, not these state law colleges masquerading as national law universities.
Bhai NLU D is not even in the reckoning. NUJS may be. NLS and NALSAR are the OG Tier 1s. Even as per your latest NIRF you are just 0.2 points ahead that too after lying on one of the most important metrix that is placements. NLU D has misquoted a figure of 18lpa as average placement which is just plain wrong. You remove your lies then even as per NIRF you stand nowhere. Anyways NIRF has been unanimously bashed on this forum. So let's not go into that. Placements, Infra, NAAC ratings, alumni network everything taken together NLS and NALSAR are the real Tier 1s with good competition from NUJS, NLUJ, GNLU and these days yes NLU D also.
You are just salty about NIRF data because you couldn't get through AILET, Other than that one median salary mistake, NLUD has been ahead in all metrics compared to whichever law school you are from. NLUD faculty are best in research compared to all others. Example, even though Mrinal and Aparna were doing good research here, once they got kicked out and went to NLS, their research output has dried up completely. The number of quality publications by NLS faculty during Sudhir's tenure is minuscule. As for NALSAR, they don't even have a single good faculty known for research. Even Dhanda is not really there anymore.
What a lovely clip! Does anyone remember the host, VJ Craig from SS Music? He used to be wildly popular. Never reached the level of Nikhil Chinapa though.
Weirdly, they look, dress and behave a lot like our generation!! π€£ Geeky computer guy, studious library girl, feminist haircut girl, mooting bro, fitness dude... Their hostel rooms are also similar, with speakers on the floor, untidy cupboards etc. The only dated things I spotted were the boxy desktop computers and the traditional dresses worn by some girls.
Can we have a "Where Are They Now" post, after nearly 20 years have passed? Maybe library girl is now a professor and mooting boy became a CAM partner? Maybe feminist girl works for Lawyers Collective and fitness boy got fat after joining a law firm?
NLS and NALSAR are both has-been institutes now, with nothing left to show for other than these legacy reminiscing. NLUD has long left them behind and turned out to be the best and only truly national law university in the country. You can only eulogise your old alum, whereas our students are achieving things today.
Really interesting mix of public policy, academia, law firm partners, litigation and GC roles. If there was ever a post that showcased the achievements of alumni from top law schools, then this is it. Very helpful post!!!
One thing I notice is that the students are very polite and well-behaved, even though the anchor is very annoying and deserves a slap. You can contrast this with the arrogant kids during the Sadhguru event. Maybe the early generations of NALSAR students had less attitude, as the college was very new?
I'm not going to get into names because all these people deserve their privacy, and some are no longer among us, but they were wonderful back then and grew to be even better over time.
Request to admin. This was supposed to be a nostalgia evoking and all loving (no-hate post) but NLU D trolls have to make everything about themselves. They just don't seem to digest that they are not at par with NLS-NALSAR. Every time they have to take a dig at these two institutes. I mean this post is not even about them, yet they have to interfere and somehow seem successful in converting a harmless and historic post in praise of another law school into how they are better than everyone else. #PleaseBanNLUDTrolls
Keep burning. NLS and NALSAR are in their dotage and trolls like you can't handle the fact that you are no longer king of the hill, with your oversized batches, programmes that got nothing to do with law and declining funding. NLS is going around begging for land, where a sub-par ex NLS prof who couldn't cut it as VC at NLUD has now fled to NALSAR to take charge. With your domicile quota students who lack merit to earn their seats, you all are studying in state colleges, not national universities.
I wish there was some documentary for GLC Mumbai. Would love to see my college in all it's glory. With people like CJI, Nani Palkhivala, Seervai, Jagtiani, Jethmalani, even the shroff Brothers. It's very unfortunate that no such video exists. Faculties like Sir Dinshaw Mulla, Ambedkar, would have loved to have seen them in these kinds of videos.
NLS no longer the Harvard of the East but the Nalsar of Bangalore :D
