The high fees charged by private institutions are often due to the costs associated with maintaining their infrastructure, whereas "government" institutions may have different sources of funding.
So while Jindal charges 8 lakhs a year, we don't see more than 15 percent of the total batch even getting placed. The same cannot be said about an NLU. This is because of the quality of students and alumni base, where banks have provided flexible loans to meritorious students to study here, regardless of the bad faculty. And that is the reality until there is some recognition from a government for additional funding. Thereafter, the fees must be reduced.
So your argument totally fails regarding the incoming foreign law firms.
You seem to have some eerie vengeance against "rich brats" and you want to impoverish them. Is Jindal's top fee structure doing that? Or are the super rich and connected (not to be construed as merit) still getting an education, effectively shutting down opportunities for the poor yet meritorious?
I have seen several individuals claiming to work for firms like Singhania and Co. during their first year of study, which raises questions about the legitimacy of their claims. Additionally, I have come across profiles of students from the 2028 batch who boast memberships in international bar associations and even own startups and firms.
It is difficult to ascertain the authenticity of these claims, and it begs the question of whether there is a reviewing mechanism that LinkedIn should implement to verify such claims.
I don't know why you guys have to spot problems in a natural conditionality like those law and language professors in my class
