Wise to take one more attempt at CLAT to get NLS Bangalore if you can.
Don't worry about the replies OP, it happens. You'll meet more A-holes like this in law school & in the profession. Simply avoid them and toughen up.
Regarding your query, I assume you meant NLIU Bhopal. Well, it definitely is a tier 1 but well below NLS, NLUD, NALSAR, NUJS & maybe at par or below GNLU & NLUJ. Having said that, it's not a bad NLU, there is plenty of opportunities to do well. Sure the higher the NLU tag, the more opportunities you get. However that's absolutely upto your hardwork and networking. If you're interested in litigation, judiciary, civil services or academia, it's fine to continue there. Top NLUs mostly help in corporate placements.
My advice would be to join NLIU, then appear for clat again if you wish. In case you get a better university you can move, albeit you lose a year. If not you can continue at NLIU and you won't be wasting a year.
Whatever your choice, keep in mind beyond the next 5 years, as to where you want to see yourself. All the best.
I understand this might be controversial, but it's crucial to accurately rate NLUs on a scale of Tier 1, 1.5, 2, 3, etc. Many students often assume that if NLIU is labeled as Tier 1 and so is NLSIU, they are both equally matched in terms of educational standards and outcomes. However, any informed individual with a fair understanding of the industry would easily tell you that this is not the case.
There are only four Tier 1 NLUs: NLSIU, NLUD, NUJS, and NALSAR.
NLIU is a Tier 1.5 NLUs, not as prestigious as Tier 1 but certainly better than Tier 2 (for example, RMLNLU). Other Tier 1.5 NLUs would include GNLU and NLUJ.
Apart from this, your advice is perfect.
