Are NLUs for those who can afford it?
That’s how universities abroad work. They admit rich kids to pay full fee, and they use that money provide scholarships and waivers to poor students.
Heard from seniors at NUJS that the son of a well know Cal HC advocate who may have served as PP or GP in HC during Left rule was the beneficiary of merit-cum-need scholarship. The father came from an illustrious line of lawyers, judges; was financially well-off (Durga Puja in their house saw a steady stream of high and mighty from Cal HC).
This NUJS alum's near relatives were HC and SC judges. All those "connections" helped him. He is close to a certain ASG in SC and it remains to be seen whether he will switch political jerseys.
This alum isn't important. Point is how did he "manage" the scholarship, which would also reveal how the policy of scholarships, fin assistance etc is actually practiced by theVCs and their cabal of petty officials and teach.
