More than 40 companies visit NFSU for placements. Big brands like Mercedes, Bank of America, Microsoft, Adobe, Salesforce, Reliance, Accenture, Grant Thornton, Emirates, ICICI Lombard, S&P Global, PWC, Micron, Deloitte, ABB, E&Y, KPMG, Tata Group, Adani, and leading Software Companies participate in the NFSU placement process. To add the law school cohort into this mix (when they graduate) will be an incremental step, as the employers are already aware of NFSU. The two 5-year law programs currently offered are focused on data science and corporate forensics.

Beyond placements in the corporate, 36 students have qualified for the UGC-NET. Obviously, this means that a significant proportion of students are motivated towards research and academics.

Your point on grants and funding is spot on. Another less-known fact is that NFSU is primarily a post-graduate institution, with a few integrated UG programs. The faculty are engaged in some amazing projects.
1. Small batch sizes
2. Lower fees freeing the students from the burden of loans
3. No domicile reservation on account of being a national institution
4. No backdoor entry via the NRI / NRI-sponsored quota
5. Locational advantage for law (by being in Delhi campus)
6. Exposure to other disciplines, complementing law
7. Funding ensures good overall infrastructure
8. Even aspiring faculty members will want to work at a national instiution
