We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

- NLSIU: Again ranked. Also a big jump in global ranking, from #201-250 band to #101-150 band
- NLUD: Debuts at 201-250 (where NLSIU was previously).
- NALSAR: Debuts at 351-400
- IITKGP, DU and Symbiosis also feature
Here's a detailed analysis of parameters:
- JGLS scores well in H-Index in citations and a good rating in academic reputation. Jindal pushes profs to publish in Scopus journals and they get good feedback from QS surveys sent to foreign universities, because of their tie-ups. This is their hack.
- NLSIU is ranking solely on the strength on employer reputation. Possibly good feedback from foreign law firms and MNCs, who were sent the QS survey.
- Ditto for NLUD and NALSAR.
Thus, faculty research at Jindal and alumni accomplishments at the top 3 NLUs are doing the trick.
Coming to DU, Symbiosis and IITKGP: once again, it is employer feedback that is pulling them through. What's less clear is if the people who filled up the survey were referring to the universities as a whole, or just the law school.
