Whose performance was better? Who had the better "strike rate"? By 2011, NLSIU's achievements were:
- Partners in Magic Circle and White Shoe firms
- Establishment of a T1 national firm (Trilegal)
- Faculty at top universities abroad (then at Associate/Assistant Professor level)
- Rhodes scholars
- No Senior Advocates or judges as yet, but several who were doing well at the Bar and being talked about
- Excellent brand value, PR and media relations
How do NALSAR and NUJS compare? In what areas are they comparable and where are they behind?
Incidentally, one area where NALSAR and NUJS can be considered slightly ahead on strike rate is Senior Advocate designations. Avinash Desai (NUJS) and B Mayur Reddy (NALSAR) were designated in 2023, whereas the first NLSIU senior (Akshay Bhan) was designated in 2014, just after 25 years of NLSIU. Also, Deep Kabir (son of former CJI Althmas Kabir) is an NUJS grad who was designated in 2025.
