Clat paper came very easy this year and a lot of deserving students didn’t get any seats. But the bottom rung got undue advantage and you can see the quality of toppers now…
Dilution in quality at top 10 NLUs started long back, with increase in reservation to an extent far more than IIT and IIM. In comparison with IIT and IIM, the percentage of merit seats in top 10 NLUs are very few. We need to first follow the IIT-IIM model and lower the percentage of reserved seats across top 10 NLUs. For example, there are 60 to 100 meritorious students at non-NLUs like Jindal/Symbiosis/GLC etc who get T1/T2 law firm offers every year. Most of them turned down seats at lower tier NLUs like Patna, Ranchi, Shimla etc. These same students would have made it to the Top 10 NLUs if each of them replaced 10 quota seats with 10 merit seats.
So True, at a rank of 800, I was getting a top tier two. Had there been lesser quota I would have atleast made it to NLIU/GNLU. Instead I chose to be closer to home at one of the good Non NLUs mentioned. I really would have loved to be at NLIU, on my complete merit and hardwork. But almost more than 35% is reserved some places reaching 50 if domicile is counted. Was very heartbrok
I know a girl who chose Jindal over HNLU. Her CLAT score would have got her into a top 4 NLU has there not been reservation. Reservation has really gone too far in India. We need to scrap all reservation and have 100% seats on merit.
Exactly, imo the only people who do deserve some protection is the ews only that to based on their merit. Like genuinely ews who never had the resources to actually study even basic subjects. But the same should not be as exorbitant as the reservation is currently.
State NLUs are state universities. They'll never behave and act like national institutions. The INI status is only for those universities that are or have the potential to contribute to a national priority. Even the top state NLUs don't fall in this category. A high degree of reservation in the state NLUs ensures that good meritorious students move to "lower" state NLUs so that talent does not get concentrated in a few NLUs and the overall quality of lower NLUs is bumped up. Over time, the artificial difference between the so-called T1, T2, and T3 NLUs shrinks.
Okay, Khyber. We all know how so called national universities like your precious NFSU has been faring since they started. Badly insofar as law is concerned.
Ha, ha......see the fear and jealousy NFSU instills. Trying to wish way NFSU is both futile and insanely foolish. NFSU is a reality - a well-funded national university with a clear mission and value proposition thriving, and growing in impact, influence, and visibility.
And you sound like ChatGPT, trying to peddle a place that's a nobody in the legal education sector in this country. Fear and jealousy, lol! Delusional much? Most of the readers know by now that you occasionally comment through the Guest handles because you are the only one who gets paid to sing praises of NFSU.
Challenge, lol. These are useless exams, selecting wrong students every year, who are not at all the right people to study law. That's clear from the very first year onward once they finally join.
because when the paper is extremely easy, other factors come into play. When multiple people get the same marks, as they're bound to in an easy paper like this one, the tie-breaker is things like age, which is outside one's control. luck also comes into play when the paper is overly easy, and the effort people have put into learning to deal with a moderate/difficult paper are wasted, at least from an exam point of view. if the paper had been hard instead of easy, the people who top it are different from the ones who have topped it now. this is not an insult or criticism, but fact. for example, if you look at the toppers of ailet (a difficult exam) and clat (an easier exam usually) there is some overlap between the toppers but not enough to prove that the same people top an easy and a difficult exam. different skills and factors come into play in easy and difficult exams
And this is why despite all the criticism, NLUD should never join CLAT. Without AILET and the folks who join NLUD through it, NLUD would've never risen to the top as fast as it did.
You’ve been marked trollish because everyone knows you’re a guy who couldn’t crack AILET and needs to satiate his pathetic ego by spreading false information. NLUD is by far the best NLU option for aspirants today. NALSAR a close second and only then NLS.
It is not that they did not score high - many did, both deserving and not-so-deserving. The problem is that an easy paper cannot differentiate between the deserving and the not-so-deserving. It is not a reliable instrument for evaluation (and ranking).
IMO this can be a solution to the reservation problem, which appeases SC/ST/OBC vote banks and also protects the general category EWS class:
- 0% reservation in universities
- 0% reservation in private sector
- 80% caste reservation and 20% EWS reservation in all public sector jobs, from Group A to Group D. Allow those with merely school-level qualifications to appear for exams.
- Abolish the above reservation in 2100.
I am sure 99% of SC/OBC people would prefer a guaranteed government job over a guaranteed university seat.
