Since the release of the CLAT first list, I have been reading up on NLSIU on this forum, and I cannot help but feel scared. I have been reading posts ( like https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/309689-why-hasnt-nlsiu-released-their-placement-stats-for-over-half-a-decade-now%20 , https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/272682-why-was-nlsiu-day-zero-a-flop-show-or-was-it%20, https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/282300-nlsiu-a-jindal-in-the-making%20 etc ) , and I'm feeling extremely nervous.
Will joining NLSIU be a good choice for me, or am I gambling away my future? The problem for me is that I did poorly on AILET, so NLUD is not an option. I did quite well on the LSAT and have received a 50% scholarship for Jindal, but my parents are totally discounting JGLS and won't let me join it.
I think the moot question is whether joining NLSIU is a good option?
STOP BEING SUCH AN INGRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can get the syndicate gc chat link from any incoming nlu student
Amidst the sea of choices vast,
Where uncertainty grips steadfast,
Take heart, dear soul, and do not fret,
For in the journey, lies your bet.
Gather knowledge, let it bloom,
Illuminate your path from gloom.
In this maze of schools, don't be led astray,
But seek the one that lights your way.
No single "best," no golden rule,
But what aligns with dreams, the jewel.
So, with clarity and focus sharp,
Craft your future, let doubts depart.
Informed, deliberate, let your choice be,
A beacon bright, for you to see.
For in this journey, yours to claim,
Lies the key to your rightful fame.
If your options are nls or Jgls - and you’re having trouble choosing - god help you.
Even if there are valid questions about the direction that NLS is going, it still has a formidable brand name, and excellent staff and facilities. To add to this, most of the All-India toppers are still picking NLS.
Think about it for a moment- all of them also read Legally India. They have access to the same information you have. And by all accounts, they are delighted that they got into NLS.
Do you have good, concrete information that will prove 100 people wrong, and you right? There are a hundred other forums there. Go to Reddit. Go to FB. Go to Twitter.
If you're still jittery, just join. You don't just have a bird in hand, you have a golden goose. You can always drop out and go to a different law college after a year, if you're not convinced with Nagarbhavi.
SAYS A RANDOM PERSON ON AN ANON FORUM!
If you really want a true picture why don't you ask some students/alumni of the institute?
BTW NLSIU is way better than JGLS, but don't take some anon's word for it, DYOR!!!
Jgls with 50% scholarship is tempting. You can leave gnlu, hnlu or nlu jodhpur for that. Not NLS or NALSAR.
You're forgetting that NLSIU has the most foreign collaborations and the best faculty out there

Improve your typing speed.
Learn about citations.
Read up on legal methods and how to write legal papers.
Start reading Pindyck for microeconomics.
Mankiw is the GOAT for introductory microeconomics!
For a little more advanced book read Koutsoyiannis, dense but hugly informative and somewhat unconventional.
Abhor Pindyck!
Even nls dogs could recite last 50 years SC judges and their lineage in their sleep, and dobby already has a ppo from trilegal.
Listen kid, you are just overthinking! Just go for NLS. When I was seeking admissions, I would have literally killed for NLS.
Think of it this way: the debate between NLS and JGLS is like the debate between a Merc and a Maruti. Are they both cars? Yes. Do they both have good gizmos? Yes. Are they equals? HELL NO!
JGLS is indeed one of the best law schools in India, but NLS is the best; that’s the difference. Hope this helps.
