NLU Delhi
NLU Delhi registrar Prof GS Bajpai, who has been in the role since 2014 under previous vice-chancellor (VC) Prof Ranbir Singh, has stepped down from the position.
At least two Indian law students have secured this year’s Rhodes Scholarship to study for a fully-funded postgraduate degree at Oxford University.

We can reveal that NLU Delhi’s governing council (GC) has just confirmed the next VC with Prof Srikrishna Deva Rao, the current vice chancellor (VC) of NLU Cuttack in Odisha, according to two authoritative sources.
Prof Ranbir Singh, NLU Delhi’s founding vice chancellor (VC) who has served in the position for 11 years, is due to retire tomorrow (23 September), though he will continue to stay at the NLU as professor emeritus from 24 September.
NLU Delhi‘s All India Law Entrance Test (AILET) has bitten the bullet and picked a date for its all-new offline exam.
After our report on Monday (27 July) of how cheating was practically possible and/or attempted (though not necessarily successfully) by a number of candidates taking the home-proctored Symbiosis Law Admissions Test (SLAT) 2020, a very daring / foolhardy and/or public-minded candidate who uploaded his entire cheating attempt to YouTube, has now removed the video and disowned his cheating attempt.
After initially criticising the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) national law universities' approach of holding centre-based law school admissions tests as everything from not “patriotic” and carrying the “risk” of “mass infection” of candidates and their families, NLU Delhi has done an about turn and announced that it too would hold a centre-based physical test.
NLU Delhi’s All India Law Entrance Test (AILET) exam has been postponed again from 18 August to an unspecified future date.

The Cold War-esque rivalry between NLU Delhi’s All India Law Entrance Test (AILET) and all the other national law universities’ (NLUs) competing Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) has intensified, with the former directly implying that the latter’s plan to conduct the admissions test would be unsafe and against government policy, amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.
The NLU Delhi students fighting for the continued employment at NLU Delhi of up to 55 housekeeping staff, via a third party contractor, have made an emotional video appeal and a written rebuttal to the university’s claim that it had “taken a decision to help on a purely humanitarian basis” by making “arrangements of their employment in the nearby areas”.
The standoff between the NLU Delhi administration and a group of students protesting for the continuing employment of up to 55 campus cleaning staff (indirectly) came to a head over the weekend as on Friday one student and one worker were allegedly briefly detained by the police after student protests outside the main gates.
