NLU Jabalpur is slated to start its first semester of its LLB for 120 students, who are to be admitted through the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2018 this August, from a temporary campus leased on astronomical rent.
Its director Prof Balraj Chauhan told us today that with state government support of Rs 5 crore the NLU was bearing the monthly rent of Rs 27 lakh for half a building and two hostel blocks in the BSNL training centre in Jabalpur which comfortably accommodates one batch of 120 students.
The NLU, Madhya Pradesh’ second after NLIU Bhopal, will publish its first list and its waiting list of selected CLAT 2018 candidates on 20 July, conduct admissions between 21 July and 27 July and begin its session by the first week of August.
The fee for its BALLB degree, the only one the law school is offering this year, is fixed at Rs 2.5 lakh.
Chauhan said that he was waiting for state government approval for its faculty recruitment notification, and that he aims to recruit around 18 teachers, including law and arts subjects.
Construction of the NLU’s permanent campus is yet to begin on the 120 acre land allotted to it by the state government near the Jabalpur airport, he said.

Quite simple. The local MLA/MP get to swell their chest to their constituents and say, "hum laye hain yeh apne kshetra mein." The way states used to point to burgeoning engineering institutes in the 90s as a reference point of what they were doing for education, they do so now through law schools.
Have VCs attempted lobbying?
I know they did so immediately after NDA government was sworn in back in 2014. I also know that they were told that the government was disinterested.
They have since tried to reach out to the judiciary. Earlier this year, the Supreme court asked the union government to file a response on NLUs as institutes of eminence in the Shamnad Basheer litigation. These things don't happen without catalysts. One of them being individual pushes in the direction.
The VCs have a vested interest in getting the same for the NLUs. The good and progressive ones can actually hope to fend off the rising private institutions by offering better terms, while the corrupt ones will have their hands on a bigger pie. Don't assume they are disinterested, though some certainly are.
