what did you get at NLIU which is not there at NLUJ!!??
To OP - please ignore this loser spreading unnecessary negativity, NLUJ is great!
on a separate note - and to answer your question - nluj can be a great great place if you learn how to balance your time. tons of good times and partying, but at the same time tons of opportunities to really make something of yourself there. there will be certain cons at any and every institution, but whats important is what you make of what is given to you! pls dont be afraid to put yourself out there in terms of participating in intras or applying for positions that are opening up or anything else for that matter - i promise that it will pay you rich dividends eventually. there will be a lot to look forward to, and so heres to wishing you the best!
There are some people badmouthing NLUJ here
Trust me on this when i tell you, it will be the best decision you will take - there will always be some losers who couldn’t handle college life who will be bad mouthing it
You are coming to one of the most prestigious NLU in the country so make the best of it
Some pointers as an NLUJ Senior
Take BBA over BA if you want better CGPA (incase CGPA matters to you as BA is low scoring comparatively)
Make sure you’re in top 20 and atleast in top 30 if you want a stress free life in case you want to end up in a law firm as it virtually makes it a 100% chance you will get places in a tier 1 law firm
Now coming to the fun part - The campus is big and beautiful- through infrastructure wise not the best (new vc is working on it)
If you are a sucker for sports, it will be the best NLU in the country for you. NLUJ leads in almost all law school fests as it has great sports infrastructure and culture
It also has the best Mooting and ADR culture in the country currently so make sure you take guidance from your seniors especially from BO’26
Academic pressure has reduced dramatically since new VC - you will have 3 CAs instead of 4 plus we dont have classes on saturdays anymore
However please keep academics at the top of your priority
Party culture is again great- however, please be careful to not get into alcohol and avoid drugs
I have noticed a lot of time first years go in the wrong direction when experience such freedom and independence for the first time - be mindful as there will be seniors actively trying to make you drunk at parties (ofc with no bad intention its just a culture where seniors make juniors drink, you can say no if you dont want to)
Liquor Parties happen mostly at SDL/ Kokum
People hangout a lot at laxmi or noksh etc for snacks suttas etc
Basically University has everything you need, its how you make it
Another advise for you would be to not do things just to fit in- its okay to be in FOMO rather than doing things and regretting it later
I have seen some juniors getting into smoking up (ganja etc) and now are addicted.
Make good friends who are smart and have personality too and are ambitious plus know the difference between right and wrong- falling into the wrong company can also be detrimental
Baaki you have a lot of parties, you can go to city and visit all the historical places jodhpur is famous for
There are loads of good restaurants and cafes around the city
There is no hostel timings so you can hangout in campus as long as you want
- Big Green Campus, 55 Acres in fact (There is a reason why we also call it National Lawn University)
- Single Rooms from First Year, also first years will get new renovated washrooms and pantry which look very fancy. (You can also install ACs)
- Good Party Culture (Just ask any senior about the Haveli/SDL/Kokum stories)
- Good Sports Culture (One of the best sports contingent across all the law school circle)
- Very Good Library, the infra is getting updated and upgraded at a very fast pace thanks to the new VC.
- Very good ADR, Mooting and Debate Culture.
- Epic Fests: NH-65 and Yuvardha are really good
Supposed Cons:
- Summers are really brutal, but fortunately you can install ACs in your rooms.
- BA Faculty (OP, Asha the less said the better)
- Food: Good enough if you are a vegetarian, but non-veg variety and taste is seriously lacking in the Jodhpur and Rajasthani Cuisine.
- Toxic: People love to back-bit*h and love spreading rumors, toxic competition, groupism. (This problem is in almost every T1 Law School)
- For some T1 city folks Jodhpur as city might not be too exciting as it is slow-paced and conservative.
- Public Transport: Auto Mafia and local city buses all the way, poor transport situation after 10 PM.
The teaching pedagogy depends from professor to professor, some faculties really live up to the NLU hype like Renjith Thomas and Sayantani Bagchi, who encourage critical thinking, self exploration and research.
Every other college is bad. All the posts on LI point to this.
Prabhash left...another left to join NLUD. So u can decide.
Sports (Badminton, Tennis, Basketball, Cricket, Volleyball, table tennis, Football, E-sports) Just check out the Instagram pages of Polemos and Yuvardha.
We also have a recently renovated gym, with a good collection of machines.
Big Campus: If you are not a sports person, you can look forward to a large, green, peaceful 55-acre campus. We are also known as National Lawn University ;)
Cultural Events: ASLC and the Cultural Committee conduct various events, such as quizzes, movie nights, etc., throughout the year. NH-65 and Yuvardha are amazing fests; check their Instagram pages for more info.
Feel free to ask more questions.
