Here's an excellent piece by Maheshwar Peri of Careers 360. While this talks about all fields of education, it also applies to law. BITS Law and IIULER have set new standards for exorbitant fees. Within five years, they will top ₹1 crore for a five-year degree. But that can still be understood that these are private law schools. He mentions NLUs. The biggest culprits are the state NLUs. They have been raising their fees beyond affordability levels for most. Education loans make the problem worse. It is a case wherein the solution is worse than the problem, and coupling this with the ease with which aspirants are advised to take drop years we have a death spiral in hand.

the TFR for WB has been below 2.1 since early 90s. The TFR in kolkata has been at 1.1 in 2011. The current estimated TFR in WB is 1.4 and falling.

All southern states have been following the same trajectory.

Despite the northern states, the total number of births in India per year has been falling since 2001. The population is still rising because the people are living longer. The population of India will peak sometime between 2050-2060 to around 1.6-1.7 billion and then decline.

The TFR of muslims are also declining in India but slower than hindus of similar economic status. This can be tackled by improving access to education and employment for muslim females (Bangladesh model). If you have time read the book 'The Population Myth: Islam, Family Planning and Politics in India' by SY Quarishi. The document which came out just before final phase of election which stated that Muslims will be the dominant population group in 2090 or thereabouts makes that calculations based on the current projections but holds the rates to be unchanged for the next 70 years.

Understand facts and not just get degree from whatsapp uni. I wish everyone would have some basic knowledge of statistics and not just be like NLUD during NIRF.

Yeah it’s because of inflation and that these nlus get next to no money from states or the centre anymore because the governments want to push students into private universities. Name one good university built during Modi raj ?

These universities survive on a shoe string budget as is. Sure maybe one or two faculty here and there don’t do as much as they should - but the cost of firing them - the additional work load on other professors - is far higher.

Chill. Don't mistake a tiger cub for be domestic cat simply because it looks like it in its first few weeks after birth. A tiger cub is still a tiger, albeit a young one. NFSU is not sitting still. You will hear more and more about it in the coming weeks, months, and years. Already in two domains / subject areas, NFSU is getting a higher preference among JEE mains candidates over the older NITs.
