In toto, EPs are not as good as you believe them, the only thing they are good at is making money for themselves, which current NLU VCs are.
The truth is private higher education in India is a den of corruption and mismanagement and there is no room at all for academic integrity or honesty. It is a bad bargain to accept that in exchange for a couple of more electives on corp law and not having to study sociology.
Government universities at least in NLUs- provide little room for petty corruption ( cash for grades) and are usually so well regulated that any higher level corruption is usually exposed and censured. your professors dont have to worry about having to do the VCs laundry to get promoted- once they are hired on a permanent basis there are clear regulations for promotion that you can litigate in court should there be a violation. They don't have to kowtow to whims of administrators or engage in corrupt academic and financial practices as much as those in private universities. This means that they can actually induce some semblance of academic rigor and standards- thats what builds brand value. You will lose the brand value by taking NLUs and throwing them into the hands of the private sector. Equity partners at top firms are idiots in the education space. Worse than idiots. And not everyone who enters law school pursues corporate jobs. Fewer people stay in corporate roles even 5-10 years after graduation.
Those who want to attend private universities could actually go there instead of asking for privatization of NLUs.
