Well, angry DSNLUite, that college will always remain in the shadow of NALSAR, which is the harsh truth. As to your second objection, not really. RGNUL Patiala, RMLNLU Lucknow and other upcoming colleges have done really well with finances.

better be a bit intelligent. RGNUL used up 7 whole years, and the campus is still in the offing. It would need atleast another 2 full years to get the university functioning.

On RML and HNLU, the latter'd always lacked infrastructure, and the reality vis-a-vis the former, you know the univ. was cash-rich on account of the largesse showered on it by the so-called leader helming the state.

You wrote for RML, "the univ. was cash-rich on account of the largesse showered on it by the so-called leader helming the state", well don't you think that its the duty of the state to ensure the sustenance of the university if it goes ahead and launch one?Schools like DSNLU are a reminder to not join the NLU bandwagon without doing your homework. Joining a new NLU can be a risk (which is fine) but it should not become a mistake. Even when there was a political change in UP, RML never suffered through any setback and continued to grow. AP govt too must make sure the same regarding DSNLU so that students do not face any adverse situation.

Joining a new NLU may be a mistake in terms of [not] getting placements, but even the new NLUs are better places to learn the law than many traditional universities, barring a few. Learning the law does not really depend on faculty alone, but on the culture and pedagogy, including moots, projects, presentations, etc. It is about learning to think like a lawyer.

Let us not dishearten the kids who have joined the new NLU. It is up to them what they make of their 5 years there. I hope the new NLU has a couple of decent faculty members to teach legal methods, contracts, con law and IPC in the first 2-3 semesters. The rest of the learning will take care of itself, especially in a new NLU where some kids will be "hungry".

I have 8 letters and one punctuation mark for you - bahahaha!

Quoting BPS:

Haha, people will come to NALSAR no matter which state it falls in. DSNLU, on the other hand, has no future. This mushrooming of law schools all over the country is a phenomenon that ignores the fact that there is a lot more supply in the market than there is demand. While everyone may not want a law firm, most students turn up for those big-bucks job.

In short, na modda DSNLU! thoo!

you are spot on. But, nothing vituperative of the college is expected on a forum like this.

"[...] unless it manages to get its infrastructure in place it will not receive central funding"

What funds? I thought the older NLUs did not accept funds and grants in order to remain independent?

Quoting subhros:

I dont understand this - how can there be two NLU's in one state?

There is no law stating the otherwise. Hence, the present situation.

Quoting ikra:

We also have the same doubt. How come 2 nlus can exist in the same state? But whatever it is the truth has now popped out. Frankly speaking DSNLU has the worst kind of scenario. Hostels are situated in different locations. And more importantly breakfast is not served at hostels it is served in the main building i.e. the university. There is huge lot of inconveniences and on the top of it horrendous faculties.

RGNUL, for example, was in no better situation. The Univ. was super far from the univ.
