NLIU should be de-recognised by BCI and UGC at once. The current students can be shifted to somewhere else like the new law schools in Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam etc. Controversies hav dogged NLIU since day one and they are bringing a bad name to other NLUs who take part in the CLAT.

Whats wrong with you people.. what do you gain by mudslinging..
There were a few teachers who don't deserve to be faculty at a premier institution and were sacked.. credit should be given to the Director for identifying and sacking these people..
Other Universities have the same problem, but the spineless administrations do nothing about it..
We should be applauding the NLIU admin and Executive Council for their efforts.. and not make immature comments like those above..

No one is suffering in NLIU. We are doing very well for ourselves:
-Students are doing very well in Moots and often represent the country and Stetson and Jessup International, apart from very well in National Moots.
- The placements are always decent with 40 of 50 students getting placed, with salaries as high as 13 lakhs in firms like AMSS, Trilegal, LKS, Khaitan etc.
-We have fantastic infra and great campus life with floodlit sports facilities, air condition classrooms, great landscaping and single room hostels.
-With those few teachers sacked, even the quality of academics will go up..
Life is great.. So stuff it...

The placements are the worst amongst the NLUs. The city is Bhopal which sucks. The administration is corrupt which sucks. The faculty too is poor in quality.

That's why most people in the legal industry rate NLIU below GNLU now.

NLIU becomes worthless by sacking two of its prof?... wow!! Go get some sense @5
I can understand your angst and frustration as GNLU is not even talked about in the same breadth. NLIU has 9 batches in the market (the most after NLSIU, Banglore) the same as NALSAR. Its students are doing well whether in judiciary, litigation, industry or law firms. It has one of the best infrastructure with decent faculty (mostly from DU, JNU and AMU). Bhopal is a beautiful city with rich history and culture and to top it all is the location of the University i.e. overseeing hills of Vindhya mountain ranges and the great lake in its vicinity. And most importantly, the students are a happy lot.

A word of advice to all those who are ingrained to jump at negative conclusions: For anyone who has been a witness to NLIU this repeated barb does not cut the mustard. So put your energy towards bringing good name to your university rather than trainin your guns at others.

Kian it s good you are covering stories of corruption in the judiciary but please do not forget the case of Prabhu Chawla's son. There has been a blackout in the media on this very important news and we can only rely on websites to give us the info (as had happened in the radia case, where initially all the papers and channels did not cover the Open magazien story and they reacted only after pressure from netizens).

Our media is two-faced. These Congress bootlickers are making a fuss about Kiran Bedi claiming airfare charges but they are quiet about this case and also many other cases.
Placement was never a criteria 20 Oct 2011, 08:31

for those who still use Placements as an excuse.

NLIU gets only 30 odd GENERAL category students and still places 40-50 students.

Other NLUs get 80-90 General Students and place only 65-70 (NUJS, NLU).. so stuff it !

Do not talk about placements of NLIU. 30? What are the kind of placement, would you mention that? 3-4lakhs/annum ? Am I right?

Only 17 in Law Firms? and too most of the placements in tier 3 firms?

One of the reasons why people are having a go at NLIU because their students/alumni are a real pain. There at least 5 national law collegs that are better than NLIU (NLSIU, GNLU, NALSAR, NUJS, NLU-J) but these people act like their college is better than Harvard. Why are you attacking GNLU for no reason? First improve the mess in your own college.

Forget the present scam, there was an even bigger and more shocking scam earlier. It was reported in a major national newspaper.

In every law school there are a couple of teachers who are horrible.

If, as pointed out by someone, that indeed was the case with these teachers then kudos to the director.

NLIU faculty quality and placements are below par. It will be really nice if LI can give us more details on this case and other flaws of the college.
