P.s. There is no such thing as Tier 1.5, its either 1 or 2.
Hope this helped :)
Let's consider NLS, NLUD, NALSAR, and NUJS as Tier 1, and for example, RMLNLU, NLUJ, NUALS, and RGNUL as Tier 2. These classifications of NLUs into tiers are generally accepted without controversy. In this framework, where would you place NLIU? Is it on par with NLS? Certainly not. However, it surpasses RMLNLU, which makes it deserving of the Tier 1.5 designation.On a related note, let me explain why there isn't a Tier 2.5. The distinction between a Tier 2 and Tier 3 NLU is minimal, primarily revolving around student perception and, in certain cases, campus infrastructure. Conversely, the gap between Tier 1 and Tier 2 NLUs is significant. Just compare how much better NUJS is compared to RGNLU. Then, observe the relatively minor difference between NLUJ and DSNLU.
