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.

Look at the ROI NLSIU gives you now. Fabulous placements and fantastic faculty who could be teaching anywhere abroad. All for a fraction of the cost abroad. Yes, the hostel issue is a but challenging now, but it will be solved with new construction.
Even Harvard will not necessarily give you such ROI.
Or Oklahoma, Hawaii, New Mexico etc in the US (I know JD is a postgrad degree, but what if it’s a BA, or what if comparing with the 3 year LLB?).
Or Deakin, Bond etc in Australia.
Or even places in NZ and Canada.
Basically places whose degrees would be recognised in India for the Equivalency Exam, should one wish to return to India.
Would you choose a free ride in such colleges over even NLSIU, despite NLSIU’s unofficial title as the Harvard of the East? Also, historically, are there examples of anyone turning down full scholarships at a university abroad to join NLSIU?
For context, Kim Wexler in Better Call Saul studied at University of New Mexico. Is a partnership at a firm like HHM in the show reflective of how tier 4 grads in the US do? Would an average NLSIU grad be better placed?
