Jokes apart NLS must strive and it indeed deserves to break into top 100 law schools globally.
1. Harvard
2. Oxford
3. NLS
4. Yale
5. Stanford
- Oxbridge
- LSE
-KCL, UCL
- NLSIU
- Edinburgh, SOAS, Warwick etc
Note also that many NLSIU alumni teach at Oxbridge, LSE, KCL etc. So these universities themselves recognise the worth of an NLSIU degree.
Making it to Top 100 and then Top 50 in the world will be a great deal for NLS or any Indian law school.
Jindal has broken into top 100 and maintaining it for last 3 years.
Wish NLSIU breaks into top 100 soon.
2 - Oxford3- Cambridge
7- LSE
14- KCL
15 - UCL

32 - QM
46 - Durham
56 - Glasgow

59 - Bristol
88 - Nottingham
99- Leeds
101-150 - Warwick, Birmingham etc.
150-200 - SOAS, Cardiff, Sheffield, Liverpool etc
Currently, NLSIU is ranked even below 200, in the 201-250 tier. It shares space with lowly regarded colleges like Newcastle, York and Essex. Very obviously, this is not a fair ranking for NLSIU, if we consider alumni achievements, placements, moot courts and success in Rhodes and Gates scholarships. Faculty quality is one criterion where NLSIU was lagging a bit, but Sudhir has changed that by booting out mediocre TLC profs and hiring star alumni profs.
Thus, what would be a fair ranking for NLSIU in the Sudhir era? Can we say in the top 20, at par with KCL/UCL/Edinburgh? Or do they have superior placements, alumni, moot court achievements etc?
How about at least top 50, at par with QM, Manchester, Glasgow etc? Surely they can't be much ahead of NLSIU?
What do you think, friends?
