I checked out https://community.lawschool.cornell.edu/academics/degree-requirements/dual-degree-programs/

there it says that JGLS students 'must complete 62 credits at Cornell over two years.'

so JGLS students have to spend 2 years in Cornell, however, the JGLS website https://jgu.edu.in/cpgls/special-pathways/ says that the JD + BA-LLB is 6 years combo, so do they spend 4 years in Jindal? if yes, how does the Indian law degree work? as BCI rules clearly state that after +12 there must be five years of classes for an undergraduate qualifying degree in law. They made this clear a number of times esp in relation to foreign degree qualifications (where undergraduate after +12 is for 3 years, like in the UK)

my maths doesn't seem add up, can someone from JGLS clarify please

I think what they do is give you a BALLB degree, instead of BALLB (Hons). That saves a few courses and a few months of study, but both degrees are eligible to qualify as advocates. Then they also perhaps cut down the internship period and replace it with courses. All of this saves a year or two, I guess.

Anyway, even if they don’t comply with BCI rules, you have children of senior ministers in this law school, while politicians across party lines dance at the owner’s daughter’s wedding. 🤣🤣🤣 Who will dare to act against them?

can someone please explain how JGLS makes BA LLB and JD work?

https://jgu.edu.in/cpgls/special-pathways/

from the website I can find that for BA/BBA LLB + JD its 5 + 2, instead of normal 5 + 3

BCI has a clear rule that not more than 6 months of credit can be transferred back to any law degree, so the max time that one may spend in US is 2.5 years, how do they get credit for extra 6 months in the US (as surely Cornell will not allow for Indian law degree to be counted)?

Can someone who has gone through this path explain please

Nepo kids traditionally went to GLC or abroad. Now they go to Jindal or abroad. But the big change is that the children of NLSIU alumni are the new generation of nepo kids. They are studying alongside children of the old guard senior counsels and law firm owners. Thus, the present nepo generation is twice as large as the older one. Once the children of other NLU alumni turn 18, the nepo generation will probably be 10 times as large! They will all graduate from IB schools with very different mindsets as their middle-class parents (who too will become upper class elites).

The other day I met an NLSIU alum who said he will advise his son not to even sit for CLAT and instead do a dual BALLB-JD from Jindal and the US. I’ve even met NLSIU alumni from reserved category backgrounds being snooty and saying they want their kids to study abroad, rather than with “common” children (words to that effect). Twenty years from now, thousands of NLU alumni will be thinking like this.

I can’t help but wonder if this will impact recruitments down the line? Children of NLU alumni will obviously get preference in recruitments. So will we be in a situation where all recruits are graduates of foreign universities or Jindal? And maybe international law firms may even prefer foreign grads over Indian ones?
