Yes, no recruiter is concerned with a CLAT rank within the cohort itself, but there's still merit to making it to a better NLU. NUJS's high CLAT ranks is literally one of the main reasons it's still standing. Having a NUJS tag without as much merit does not mean much at all.
Best of luck with your eventual recruitment season!
- For a B.A. student, nowhere is it indicated that they are a NRI sponsored student during placement, while recruiters will know the entire BSc batch is at a lower CLAT rank. A lower rank would allow admissions to both, but only be clear and potentially act as an obstacle in one.
All NUJS CVs have the degree mentioned as the very first entry. If I see an equally meritorious BA and BSc CV, the BA CV wins solely because it's a better degree. It's the difference between HNLU and NUJS.
- The professor quality has degraded so much at NUJS that it really doesn't matter if they're the same or not. Being taught by KIIT peeps is not helping either batch. And the admin has been promising moving the BSc students to the main campus since the introduction of the course.
- Enjoy your better hostel rooms at present then please, don't lure anyone into it.
Your response is deeply appreciated. More than myself, It was my parents who insisted that I go with the NRI Sponsored seat at NUJS. Will definitely have a conversation with them regarding this. Thank you again :)
You would have no other choice but to do corporate, any other profession would not allow you to repay this loan.
You may feel that you will do well in college BUT what if you just could not? And godforbid by the time you graduate there aren't just enough high-paying jobs?
Committing to such a loan would burn more bridges then creating. Hence, I would strongly suggest, settle for a lower NLU. NUALS has got a Rhoades scholar, RMLNLU rocks the public service examinations, NLUO has performed really well in recent years, CNLU also has a good record in judicial services examination, MNLU-N has got a freaking course for judiciary. Explore your options wisely, you can also consider taking a partial drop while taking admission where you can and re-attempt next year, this might save you 50 lacs. Hope this gave you a fresh perspective.
The reason why i’m going for NUJS is not just because of the placements. The networks, exposure, crowd again differs a lot from a Tier 2. and overall a better college life. And besides, we’d not be taking a loan for the entire amount, only part of it. What do you think of this?
I’m very passionate about this field and I’m sure I’m gonna do well in College.
We come from a Middle Class Background, but this NLU can change our lives. I was contemplating taking a loan. I know that you’re not guaranteed placements just because you’re from a Tier 1. But if I do well and manage to bag one, I feel like this would totally work out.
Is this stupidity? I have nobody else to ask and I self studied for CLAT so no mentors either.
