We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

1. Seniors, what are some good places to hang out near NLUJ? Like where do you guys usually go out to chill? (I heard something about an SDL park). And how is the city of Jodhpur in general? Are there enough walkable places to explore?
2. Is managing the exam schedule as difficult as it is made out to be? And with the new VC are there any changes expected?
3. Should I prefer BBALLB over BALLB? Or is the faculty/situation different from before?
4. Do you guys have any group of sorts to help juniors? (Like some seniors at NLIU/NUJS seem to have created one for their juniors)
I'm not an uptight guy, and you will see that when we do meet. This system is at least better than my former college where the students are left to fend for themselves for everything, and seniors are too busy to take any interest at all.
play your cards well in BBA (read: cozy up to the right teachers in BBA) and you will sail through without ever worrying about your GPA
Bottom line is, you can expect to score better in BBA, but BA does not prevent you from being the batch toppers
its just that BA will generally keep you at a GPA disadvantage (work more hours to get the gpa BBA ppl get aka, unnecessary stress for no reason)
faculty in both stream is mediocre at best, some can be downright disastrous (for both the subject and your gpa-history esp)
SDL is like a wedding venue with a pool, most of the alcohol parties are organised there only.
Nearest Market area is Mandore roughly 1Km from the campus gate, you can utilise the campus shuttle bus, Auto or the City Bus to reach there, we have a place called Mandore Garden where you can hang out.
People typically venture into the city to hang out as most of the good cafes and restaurants are there only, roughly 10km from the college. (Old City and Sardarpura)
2) The schedule is hectic, there have been days where I had 10 days of continuous tests and assignments back to back, but it is manageable you will get used to it.
The pattern is roughly like this per law subject:
4 Continuous Assessments along with a CRE (Moot) a project/midterms and a final end-term.
I have noticed changes with the arrival of the new VC, it has roughly been 2-3 months since her arrival, let's give her some time to see the complete results, but one thing is for sure she is much better than Poonam Pradhan Saxena.
3) I would recommend you prefer BBA LLB as BA faculty marks very badly, especially the History faculty, granted the BBA faculty is more strict but the mark disparity is very clear.
As you study BA/BBA till the third year choose wisely as a wrong stream selection will make your life a lot harder.
4) The ASLC has a mentorship program where each fresher receives a mentor from a pool of volunteer 3-5th Year students.
Ragging (As some of my peers like to refer it as Positive Interaction) is quite common and something which the university turns a blind eye to (atleast the Poonam Pradhan Saxena era administration) you can definitely avoid the same just takes a little effort.
But there are some stupid rules created like you cannot walk on the grass, not wear shorts and not hangout in places near the campus etc.(I personally did not follow even a single one, you may choose to follow or not follow the same)
On the food and drinking scene, you'll pretty much get everything on campus as swiggy and zomato work just fine with a 70/80 rupee delivery charge. The city has cute cafes and the rooftop ones near Mehrangarh are a uniquely jodhpur phenomenon that you must experience with friends in the evening when the fort gets lit up.
Utilize these 5 years properly and ensure you keep doing something other than just acads and college activities, explore the city and if budget permits, rajasthan has great places to see and most of them are about 4-5 hours away from jodhpur due to its central location. I personally have loved the experience of living in a tier 2 city after coming from a metro - it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for college. It makes you realise that there is a life beyond delhi/mumbai/bangalore and much of India still lives outside these places.
ALSC has an institutionalised framework to assist freshers and I would suggest you to actively approach seniors as most of them would be happy to help - use your school/city/coaching networks to find people and they would be able to guide you in a much better manner in my personal experience.
As for the Aslc process, when does it start? I'm guessing probably a month or two before induction? Is there any way to connect with seniors beforehand? I know LinkedIn is an option, but it seems kind of weird to just approach them out of the blue there
Also as for the ragging, yeah I don't mind that much. I know what to avoid and what to settle for, and I am sure I will sail through if I find more helpful seniors like you. Thanks for your tips!
you will receive emails from the uni about when to pay the fee and report to campus. Essentially, anything that you must know, will be told to you. Don't worry so much! hope this helps!
