With Sid gone and Danda retiring are there any professors of eminence left ? Looks like NLS poaching is going to kill NALSAR, NUJS, NLUD, GNLU etc.
It's soon going to be NLS and then the other T1 NLUs. With 300 + 180 (3year LLB) students in a year, NLS is going to stand as the sole brand that T1 NLUs have.
On the contrary, the 300 batch size is rapidly reducing CLAT toppers' interest in joining NLS.
Any evidence for that? The NLS cutoff was under 100th rank this year even after the massive expansion. NLS will always remain the first choice for toppers
you realize most of the expanded seats went to reserved categories and state domicile, right..
That's... not how reservation works. That's how blocked/earmarked seats work, which is not a system NLS follows. Reservation is a %, and it is not possible for a part of the whole to grow more than the whole itself.
The answer is simple: get a good NLU alum as VC. Remember that the TLC VCs are insecure and don't want to hire young, smart NLU profs as faculty (barring rare exceptions like MP Singh). So you need an NLU alum VC to correct things.
1. If that's the case, then how is Sudhir poaching those people from other NLUs? Clearly they had been recruited there by other VCs to begin with!

2. There's no NLU alumni senior enough working in India at present in academics to become the VC of another law school. Sudhir himself wouldn't have qualified had MPS not given his career a jumpstart back in 2008.
No, he became a professor only in 2017 at Azim Premji. Will have to wait till 2027 to apply for the VC position in any public university.
Its been coming for a while for nalsar. Attrition during FMs term was very worrying. So many good young people joined and left because of admin/student drama. post pandemic batches are not as employable. Time to buck up.
