I have had the fortune of being associated with all of the aforesaid institutions.
With all the respect one may have for JNU, it will never produce a candidate who may compete with NLUs and Jindals. It may, however, produce very good researchers, policy enthusiasts in which space, perhaps in the longer run, even NLUs and Jindals may fail to match JNU. But overall, (i) NLUs + Jindals, (ii) DU and other Central Universities, and (iii) JNU would continue to hold the fort for various classes.
JNU has always been a #1 ranked central university for research and academia in social science. Moreover, there are only two major centres specific for law. The Special Centre for law & governance and the Centre for international studies.
The Centre for L&G is only for PhD, not ug or pg, and they only accept JRF qualified candidates ! Moreover it's open not just for law, but from all social sciences, so you can see the competitive quality itself. Also it has globally renowned names teaching in the faculty, that are also given distinguished titles in tier 1 NLUs. Go visit the faculty page.
The CILS faculty has people from international relations as well. Moreover it boasts of the biggest names that studied and researched in India in the sphere of international law like Anand, Chimni, Desai etc.
So before you go barking out like a mad dog, go and learn a thing or two. Seriously, the NLU bubble that most people live in is ridiculous.
