Hey man I just don't want my grandmother to die, but I'll be sure to let her know the political forces are conspiring with anarchists to keep her alive.

If you love her, then drop a year and appear during the next AILET. That's what you all are asking for anyway. May as well allow those who don't have such objections to appear for the exam if they want to.

Okay. Just tell me when covid will "get over"?

Don't join there. That would teach them a lesson.

At which point of time was it tier one exactly? Not in terms of placement or any other recognisable metric. NLUJ, GNLU etc. have always been ahead.

Are you not tired up this tier 1 and 2 type of mentality? Grow up and respect fellow law students of other law universities. It is well established that in any competitive exam merit depends on D day performance, luck factor also. Any top 50 students may land up in next tier easily in next exam. PS : neither a law student nor intended ever

NIRF, you mean that system whose skeletons are tumbling out of its cupboard every month?

The only thing that means jackshit is these spurious and faulty rankings. Placements are a hard fact, especially when over 50% of the student population in any institution only join law school for that, like it or not.
NLUD's original good start is in the doldrums now, with its star faculty leaving for NLSIU and the founding VC's terms already being over. With litigation emerging every year, and the VC selection process having been delayed for over a year. Even an application from the students to the Chancellor has been summarily ignored.

There are people who have got into NLUD and sat for exams in the next year. As for placements, NLUD placements have never been anything to write home about. There have been years when certain tier one law firms have called their students to office for interviews and not made a single offer. There is no question of sour grapes, this is a fact. Even if there is a tier system (I don't agree that there is), then NLUD belong to with NLS etc. only in its imagination and PR.

Sorry. But no, not a single person from NLUD has done that. Name one if you have it on record. Otherwise, your comment is just more misinformed hogwash of the kind usually seen in this comments section.

And no, there haven’t been “years” where a tier-1 firm has called people to not make an offer. If you were from NLUD, you’d know that it happened once and not in the way you’re describing it. The firm didn’t make an offer after the Day Zero interviews and delayed announcing the results, so the students who sat for it had got other offers and chose those instead, since you have to send in the acceptance on the night the offer is made. So there were no need for forthcoming offers after that anyway. Stop with the misinformation. If your law school is certifiably better than NLUD, then you people don’t need to keep hiding behind the “NLS is the best so NLUD is shit” argument.

For the record, I don’t think NLUD is the best and it could certainly get worse in the future like NUJS has, but most of the nonsense here is just malicious rubbish.

By that undeniable metric, only NLSIU is a tier one NLU in this country at present. There are students who at least try cracking CLAT for NLS every year from all other law schools.

Again, like I said, not from NALSAR and NLUD. If you’re so sure, then I challenge you to give names.

@Punk: What makes you so sure? Have you checked all 65 odd students for 16 batches of NLUD, around 1000 names in all, for each CLAT since 2008? You wouldn't even have managed to do that for last few years since the whole rank list is no longer declared. You would know only if someone from NLUD first year actually cracks CLAT well enough to make it to NLSIU and then leaves. Not enough research on your side either to make the claims. So it's best both sides should cease and desist.
Disclaimer: I'm not the original claimant.

Abe chomu the fact that you need to go to such detail to prove your point only points to the fact that NLUD is infact a superb place. Other NLUs apart from nalsar or NLS people will take it at face value that students sit the exam again, because it is common knowledge. Get real man. Accept NLUD and NLS are the only two brands worth it in india with respect to law.

The delusion runs deep and strong. Casually stringing NLUD along with NLS in your twisted logic as if they're in any way or manner the same. NLS is a legacy brand, with its alumni deep-rooted in every field of legal service today. NLUD in comparison is absolutely in its infancy. And as far as "brand" value goes, NLUD is simply a corporate feeder, as are most other NLUs. If you're going to determine brand value basis the intake of law firms, then you'd still be wrong because plenty of other NLUs can stake claim to stellar placements that rubbish your notion of NLUD being the "only brand worth it".

Is this what you kids tell yourself, these days? NLS/NLUD or bust? Outright stupidity.

Not that much of a corporate feeder either. NLSIU is the undisputed numer uno. NALSAR is firmly in the second position. NUJS has fallen back over the last 4-5 years, and though it is still considerably ahead in student performance and graduate outcome to the rest of the NLUs (other than NLS and NALSAR), nobody who gets a chance at the first two would opt for it unless they really need to stay in the city. This goes for faculty and student both. NLUD could have become third and offered real challenge to NALSAR with the promising start that it had, but given the recent developments, I doubt that is going to be the case. It had an excellent PR team and decision-makers under RS, and a group of bright, young faculty members. But trolls always keep claiming laurels for it that it has not earned yet. After RS leaves, with several good faculty departing, and people like PSJ at the helm of affairs, it is going to be sorely tested to even hold on to its existing achivements, let alone proceed to higher levels. Two things are in its favour though. Proximity to Delhi and funds. Both still require good people in charge to be made the best out of. Their earlier focus on faculty research, if continued and not limited to the few (around 15-20% of existing faculty), might also yield rich dividends.

Yeah!

Yes, because all government activities are completely efficient and accurate and brook no challenge whatsoever. By the way, I'm from Law School, and still believe that NIRF has a faulty methodology and lack of data verification. In fact, they are now asking all participant institutes to send criticism after all this controversy broke out.

Does your NIRF ranking help you get a job, help a client, get a scholarship, crack competitive exams, basically anything other than your superficial boasting at all? It doesn't.

NLUD is more like Prithvi Shaw at this stage. Loads of promises and hype, without a lot of substance to back up claims.

Buddy, NLUD has ranked twice in NIRF. So how can you say there is no substance? In comparison, NUJS people just live in the past and invoke the Menon/Chimni/MP Singh legacy. Please also note for the 100th time that law firm placements are just a tiny feature of rankings. You need to see faculty + infra + other graduate outcomes (e.g. UPSC, LLM scholarship, chambers of top lawyers etc).

Apart from UPSC, NLUD students have never performed better in any other graduate metric compared to students from NUJS. Be it LLM scholarships, or lawyer juniors or judicial clerkships. Apart from NIRF ranking, which itself has been recognised as s flawed system, what else do you have?

Yes NLUd has produced several road scholars and its students have joined chambers of flop lawyers and won several international moots, more than nls in fact. Even the janitors, security guards and mess staff get a job at law firms easily cause they are at nlud. Thus it has 140%placement at nlud. Only students of NLUd can crack upsc. Nlud has special tie ups with several coaching institutes , where no fee is taken from them

The infrastructure is also very important for an institution to determine its importance and its ranking. If infrastructure is not good then universitiy is trash. Though nlud has good infra, it could have been better, maybe like jindal, if the gov was supportive.

It organizes events throughout the year whose expenditures goes in crores. Its faculty is star studded like JINDAL, who know to teach. (It should be acknowledged that jindal has best faculty. Any random person with foreign LLM gets chance in Jindal gets to be professor because Jindal recognizes that if u have foreign llm then u must be special. )
Its a pity that it doesn't get any funding from state government to conduct conferences, workshops or mooting debating. On the other hand state gov is always interfering in the matters of NLUd.
Even then nlud has managed to do such great things that no one could dream of.
It should charge more from students in AILET. Maybe 10000. Currently it charges only 1 Rs. Whereas clat charges 4000. This is not fair nlud promises so much and is forced to charge so less, just because it is conducting a separate entrance.

I feel so jealous. God i wish that i was in nlud, then maybe I could have been an IAS officer or got some scholarship, won tons of moot. There is no cllg better than NLUd. Dont join others, you will get nothing may be only placements. NLUD should be no. 1. NLS must be bribing nirf.

Does it mean that if NUJS was included in the World Cup, we might have won it?

I know, right? All the culture is of course wasted on the likes of you cow-belters.
