Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
1) IIULER is not an NLU (National Law University)
2) It is not a Government University/Government-Funded University
3) IIULER joins CLAT Consortium illegally by violating the Bye-Laws of Consortium of NLUs (Refer it from the official CLAT Website)
4) IIULER is a Private University but they try to brand it as a Public University
5) IIULER is not owned by Bar Council of India. IIULER is owned and managed by BCI Trust - PEARL FIRST (BCIT-PF) which is a separate and independent body that is not a part of BCI (Refer document countersigned by BCI Secretary in the official BCI Website)
Why I discontinued from IIULER (PhD)
1) They did not follow UGC PhD Regulations, 2022 (If it is not followed, your degree will be challenged later)
2) Even after 10 Months of commencement of PhD, they did not conduct Course Work Examination (which should really be conducted at the end of the first six months)
3) No Stipend/Fellowship were given to Scholars (even for JRF Holders of the batch)
4) They did not admit anyone as Full Time Scholars (I repeatedly requested to admit me as a Full Time Scholar since I have resigned my Job as an Assistant Professor (Law) to join IIULER). In their admission notification, they stated that they will admit as Full Time Scholars
5) Since I was not admitted as a Full Time Scholar even after 10 Months, I lost Scholarships/Fellowships for doing my PhD and the worst part is that, I resigned my Job as well for this!
6) IIULER doesn't care about UGC Regulations as even the then Hon'ble Vice Chancellor violates that by acting as Research Supervisors for PhD Scholars (No one can be a guide, co-guide or supervisor once that person crosses 70 years as per UGC Regulations)
7) Faculties are changing rapidly. When I joined there were 10 Law Faculties, but 5 of them resigned from there in 2023-2024 and 1 more in 2025
8) Due to word from Vice Chancellor, APRO and PG Coordinater, I even took an apartment there to do my PhD as a Full Time Scholar (They will not provide Hostel for PhD Scholars and they told me to took one in Jayaram Nagar itself so they will arrange the mess facilities for me from the Hostel), and I paid the Apartment Fees for 10 Months! But not even a single day, I was able to stay there since they don't adopt me (or anyone) as a Full-Time Research Scholar
9) When I tried to resign from there after 11 Months, I got admission in another Famous University in India for doing PhD, IIULER does not provide me Transfer Certificate or Migration Certificate, so I was not able to join for PhD in the other University since these are mandatory (Now, I got it from IIULER after several legal fights and explanation from Higher Education Department but anyway I was not able to join for PhD then since IIULER did not provide certificates on time)
10) Even the Vice Chancellor, Faculties and Administrative Staff deceive everyone as IIULER is a Public University (phone recordings are also available). It's so disgusting to deceive people and students (they even deceived me in the initial Doctoral Interview also as a Public University and whenever other people call and enquire with them!)
11) More than 6 times, I visited many authorities at IIULER to discuss the issue regarding the PhD, fellowship, Coursework problems and violation of UGC Guidelines
12) We didn't even get an ID Card from IIULER!
13) We didn't get any single Database/Remote Access after paying India's highest fees for PhD!
14) I paid Rs 1,35,000/- (as fees only!) for one year and they offered nothing in return (even not conducted classes properly)!
15) As per UGC Regulations, PhD Coursework is a 12 Credit Course (which means 12 hours lecture per week that too in offline mode). While IIULER conducts only 23 Sessions (1.5 hour each) through Google Meet (online) in the whole 10 Months still I was there and additionally a five day Research Colloquium (offline). They didn't even care about the existing UGC Regulations or standard of Doctoral Degrees!
16) There is no Administrative Officer in IIULER like Registrar, Pro Registrar, Pro Vice Chancellor, Controller of Examination, Assistant Control of Examination, PhD Coordinator or even those personalities as instructed by UGC in Higher Education Institutions for the betterment of Students!
Finally, "it is your personal decision to join IIULER or not!"
Opinions and Preferences will always differ. Anyway, these are the statements from my side. For any further details, please check authentic resources and governmental documents like Gazette Notifications, file some RTIs etc. Be focused in life and choose the best for your career!
The VC of NUJS would know since he was very much present in one such blacklisted and subsequently platinum washed institution. The Noojies have no idea who they are dealing with.
