Which are the best private law schools in India
31 Mar 2010, 18:16
Dear All,
I would like to know, apart from the nationals which are the best private law schools in our country.. Over the last few years the private law schools have really done various commendable activities both in studies and extra-curricular.
Here are my picks:
1. Symbiosis, Pune
2. Army Law School, Mohali
3. Christ, Bangalore
4. ICFAI Law School, Dehradun
5. Amity, New Delhi
Please add more.

Symbiosis is no doubt a stand out in that league.
However, I do agree that ICFAI, Amity, Christ and Army are also gaining good reputation.
BILS, Bangalore is also good, i guess.
There are a few more private colleges such as Nirma, KIT, UPES.. but they are far away from being the ‘best… Symbi no doubt is the best pvt. law school.
Try for National Law school always. But for pvt, go for symbi or amity though I am not sure anymore about these college though I passed from symbi only.
Like things have changed and placement was not good this year in symbi. Fees is high. No such good faculty anymore. But overall, a good college. but go for this college only if you have no option in national law schools.
@ LAW STUDENT AMITY NEW DELHI IS GOVT N AMITY NOIDA IS PRIVATE.
upes is the best bcoz it is the one which emphasises in energy laws in south east asia
if u can’t get thrgh N Schools den try form Army Law School, Amity or Symbi…but i dont think dat symbi is better den Army or Amity…all three are on d same platform…
UPES’s positioning is marvelous. They have tried to specialize in a field which is upcoming and prospective. However, from what i hear, they lack in good faculties and still have a long way to go in order to get counted among the best..however UPES is prospective..
UPES????have u ppl lost ur mind…i have met ppl studying dere…how can u compare it to symbi/amity????UPES is in no way even close to symbi/amity…infact IP University is better den UPES…
ICFAI is also gud..I came to know ppl are placed at big corporates & law firms
@guest: i think u r right. even i have heard of ICFAI having decent placements this year.with few managing at big corporate houses and law firms..Whereas a few nationals had a bad year with regard to placements..especially HNLU..
Symbi had 25 placements dis yr outta a batch of 150+ n trust me 15 r placed in LPO’S …so check all pvt law school records before joining.!!!
Symbiosis is a decent law school. I can’t say much about the other law schools however most students at Symbiosis are articulate and well informed. Further unlike the other schools Symbiosis allows one to pursue one hobbies and indulge in extra curricular activities as well. The competition is healthy if not cut throat and there are some exceptional students enrolled. It also encourages students to motivate themselves instead of spoon feeding them.
tHE BEST AMONG THE “WORST law colleges”
JOIN them only if you have good references:-
Symbiosis:NO proper classes, no attendance records,No permanent campus gud exposure though bcoz of brand value, participation in moots n conferences, Gud alumni records though most of them have been absorbed through PPO’s.Check there 2010 placement brochure.Its not upto the mark.
ICFAI a close second, catching up.Academics are very strong,Attendance mandatory, Regular exams in forms of test & Terms which is a strong criteria for gud CGPA, EXPOSURE NOT THAT GUD bcoz of usual tests students are not really encouraged to participate in Moots & Conferences, However participation is seen in past events.International acclaim/participation is yet to come.However some Internships & Summer schools participation is there.Check their Placement brochure.Exceptionally drafted.No flaw except the achievments corner.Students are gud but not much encouragement form Management side.Two batches passed out with a decent placement in law firms & corporates.Very gud Internships of students, although dont know through References or merits.Whatever it is, Legal fraternity in India are recognising it.
Amity dont even considering joining it unless you have a lot of money and dont really intend to start from scratch.The worst of lot.seems like a coaching instuitution because of its advertisements rather than a law school.No academics, No attendance, Though some sort of encouragement is there for participation in moots and conferences.
Rest all…bhagwan bharose.
ALL Information through students & placement brochure!
You can also contact the tudents through linkedin , As i have done it.
It is my opinion that prior comments in this section have been impaired by the lack of information with respect to several privately run law schools in the country. To put things into perspective here, one must take into account several arenas where these schools may be allowed to compete simultaneously. Running on mere assumptions makes this discussion seem rather obtuse.
The basis for this comment lies in some degree of information accumulated through my time in law school and consequent interaction with various people from the above mentioned schools.
Amity, Noida: Scarred by the name and the repute. The student populace does not do much to improve the state of things anyway.
Amity Law School, New Delhi: The better cousin in the Amity family. Has decent mooters and participates in quite a few competitions. All in all, a good place to study. (I am ill-informed to comment about their infrastructure or faculty.)
Symbiosis, Pune: Defintely one of the best private law schools in the country. Provides unmatched opportunities to hone your skills in extra- or co-curricular activities, but that’s probably due to their attendance structure. Boasts of a good student base, on an average, placements (with respect to private schools) and once-was faculty!
AILS, Mohali: What this institution lacks in infrastructure, it makes up for by its faculty and a small but commendable student base. Not very well ranked, but has potential to match upto some of the best in the country. Only time can tell.
Christ, Bangalore: One of the most upcoming law schools in the country. Has good infrastructure, student base, resources, proactive participation. However, faculty and management remain as concerns. Only 5 years old, this law school will churn out its first batch into the industry this year. Quite a substantial brand name as well, under Christ University.
ICFAI/ UPES/ Nirma/ Others: For either the lack of information or sub-standard presence, one can not comment much on their quality or standing. However, the author is open to comments and/or suggestions in view of the above stated.
Ranking: 1. Symbi, 2. Christ, 3. ALS, New Delhi, 4. AILS, Mohali
BILS Bangalore is infact a good law school. It has link with NLSIU in some aspects and now the course curriculum is extremely modernized. Now it comes under Karnataka Law University.
from the 1st time my initiated this topic, seems there has been loads a good activity. thanks to all of you, the law school aspirants will now have a good idea of which private law school to join in the coming months.
the last two posts being very articulate and well drafted.
I specifically like the draft: ‘Best in the Worst’ post. Man, got to agree wit you.
the last post also is well drafted but not very well researched, you should have looked into the placement brochures of these law schools as they give you a good idea about the school, course, activities, interns, placements, etc.
In my opinion:
While Symbiosis maintains its status quo (though may be sliding a little), ICFAI AND CHRIST ARE THE TWO LAW SCHOOLS TO LOOK OUT FOR, both are taking huge strides ahead. Army is also a good college. But as for the rest: Amity, UPES, Nirma, BILS, ULC, Ramaiah none are prospering well and may be termed as “Ram Bharose”.
Be ready to face all the challenges, defects & deficiency wen u join a pvt college.However i feel the same for the Nationals also except the top 4:- NLS,NALSAR,NUJS & NLU.
i would recommend a symbi or ICFAI dan a hnlu or rmnlu or cnlu…
GNLU is still better.
The National tag is not enough to excel.Tobe a good student in the National(Apart from the best 4) is more Important.You have to be in fore frunt in the less acclaimed Nationals.
Bein a topper in the private is more benificial than being a mediocre-average student in the less acclaimed/ new law colleges.
@Guest: totally agree with u.
Top 4 NLSs’ are a class apart. GNLU has amazin achievements but poor placements, frankly speaking i dnt understand why GNLU’s placements are this poor..
Sybmi, ICFAI, Army are much much better than HNLU, CNLU, RMLNLU, RGNLU, etcs.

yaar…ILS, Pune is far ahead of all other private law schools what your suggesting…
Come to ILS & tHEN SAY!
btw, is ILS Pune a private law college or a govt. law college? Besides 5 yrs back, ILS Pune was a great name both in respect of activity and placements but today we hardly find a mention of ILS Pune. No doubt the college has immense potential and history but what is going on these days?
Jindal Global Law School is best out of all private colleges in India. Excellent Faculty, international exposure. Its affiliated to US bar. Infrastructure is awesome.
According to me if u wanna join any cllg aftr nationals join Jindal Law school.
I an not a student of JGLS, but still I would suggest it.

Mr. Big Boss
to earn the name of the best private law school in India, the law school has to be in existence for a few years.
JGLS has just flagged off and thus, i m a little surprised by your premature and excited evaluation. JGLS has huge prospects but as on date how many moot/ seminars/ conferences did d students participate or win prizes in? hw many fests did JGLS participate in? Wats the placement scenerio? i can go on settin parameters but the fact remains the same that JGLS as on date has achieved nothin considerable, mainly because they do not have a batch yet. Let the admissions take place and students start participating etc, then we can make a logical evaluation.
JGLS might be a huge prospect for the years to come, but i m afraid given the stats as on date, cannot sincerely agree to your views. ATB to JGLS for the future!
@JGLS
We sincerely hope quality legal education in the country, so heres wishing the college & students all the best.
But do not unnecessary anticipate sum results.First deserve and den desire! so u have 5-6 yrs time.Prove yourself first.
yes army institute of law…is gud..cause i have studied there
hOW IS CHRIST LAW AS I AM PLANNING TO JOIN THAT??

@Parth: Christ is a good college buddy. I have met many of their students at various conferences, sports meets etc. It also gives students decent exposure. And B’lore is a great place to study law with NLS being there one can always actively participate in the seminars, symposiums and conferences organised by them.
u all people are trully […] !!!!
to b a law student all u guys need is the lust for law nthing else !!
according to me…
bst is amity delhi, amity noida, then symboisis…
all thez christ/upes/nirma/…they all SUCK !!
amity noida is bst, they’ll make u wat u wana b in law if u corporate !!!
not to mention they have awsome placements, infrastructure, faculty…and above all the quality and the capability combined packed in one !!
despite of all the rumors and defame regarding its high fee structure and other stuff…m going for it !!!
if u dnt agree…[…]
Well..
no need 2 get abusive..er..
@Ripper: Surely, it does not seem u r an aspiring student about to join Amity Noida. You would not have been so personal otherwise. thus, either ur related to the owners of Amity wit vested interest or u r a student of Amity Noida who clearly shows wat we can expect of Amity Noida.
I know very many guys from your college buddy and i wnt comment on the sad deplorable condition they are in. wat placements r u talkin about dude? how many are placed from the current batch?
besides, we are here in a healthy discussion wit respect for all law schools. So, keep ur slangs to urself and remember truth does prevail over evrythn else. I understand deep down you feel personal about your college and want to say good things, but in the process dnt set a sad example like you did.

ya dude i agree with you but when there is a question from a law aspirant about best law school it means ‘what would b best law school at d time he/she pass out?’ nt when they join..
Dearest Big Boss!
Dude, if u wanna join a college because of what it might turn out to be after five years and not make a decision based on the ones who have proved them for more than five years as on date. U’r most welcome. To me you sound like making assumptions and decisions based on what might happen and not on what it is today.
All the best, believe me, u need it more than u know!
hey! the idea of picking up a pvt law school is to suit ur needs!!
if u interested in litigation at the end of ur 5 yrs, amity wud suit u better given the proximity to the apex court and the multitude of children of eminent lawyers n jurists, who shall provide u with good internship options.
If you lookin at corporate side, i think in the last 3 yrs Symbiosis, Pune has outshone all other pvt colleges, in terms f mooting, sporting, placement achievments. If u r a sports fanatic, symbi s the place to be, those guys play some really good sports, besides the course structure is lucrative for multiple corporates and esp banks!
Christ is a decent option if u wanna stay in bengalooru but on a national approach loses out!
and last but not the least, why dun u just write the clat a lil more sincerely and save 75% of the money u r gonna blow in these colleges!!
Private law school’s. Will give hands up to Symbiosis; Pune. Even you can go for ILS pune. Both the school have good reputation. If you want to go for litigation; though it seems unlikely; you can opt for GLC; even the best firms in Mumbai will pic you. Returning to pune; BVP Law is also a good option; especially the BBA.LLB; which is a better option than B.A;LL.B. And it has a semester abroad in Uk- choose from Sussex University; Kings College London or Leeds university.Symbi has similar arrangements; and they have a great BB.A; LL.B. program.
lets not forget that sybmi began long back whereas dese law schools with whom it is compared here are comparatively very new. thus, in my opinion symbiosis hasn’t really done that well comparing the numbers of years it has been in existence. the placements have always been dismal and the percentage is dipping every year. Besides except good performances in sports meet n fest symbi’s performance/participation in moots/conferences/symposiums aren’t quite impressive either. Students of symbi themselves complain about d laid back attitude of the management. attendance n make up exams are no worry as all can be arranged. thus, i d say symbi is way ahead no denyin bt wit other law schools lik jgls, amity, army, icfai and christ spreading their wings soon there wil be many more good law pvt law schools to look up to.
Christ law is good.. the faculty is good .. infrastructure awesome… Most importantly these people have it in them to rise to the top..& are aggressively pursuing many things to be there…i won’t be surprised if Christ beats symbiosis in the next 3-4 yrs… christ has a bba llb course.. which some prefer over Ba llb
Also, Bangalore is a good city… but a lil on the expensive.\ side.
If u r into singing/dancing/theatre/sports and want to all that along with law.. Christ is the place to be..The exposure u get for such activities is the best!!!
The minus points are the obvious.. not even a single batch has passed out…(they first batch passes out this yr) and the management (the administration of Christ university) is in one word—> pathetic
Also, You may wanna chk out the problem with the deemed university status.
I’ll go with Symbiosis. Gives you decent placements (if you do well).
ICFAI, UPES and Christ have good potential. But UPES and Christ are too young to comment upon.
LegalPoet has truly said it all. The ICFAI, Christ, UPES law schools along with symbiosis are undoubtedly the best among the private law schools today.
Hi. I’m a first year student at Jindal Global Law School. There have been a few posts about Jindal in this thread and I would like to give you first hand information about my college. I agree with a lot of comments with regard to the fact that since Jindal is a new college, one cannot rank it among the best as of yet.
But I still encourage you not to completely write it off. Considering that we’re still settling in, our Moot society is yet to show great progress on paper. But we did participate in KLA and will be participating in all the major moots in the coming year. Our academic year starts much later than other colleges( in September),hence we do miss out on initial events. We also participated in a couple of events at NUJS and Admit One at NLS( we placed 2nd), so we’re slowly gettting there. I assure you that you will see a lot more of us at fests, debates, moots, MUN’s. sports and more.
About 30% of our students have Haryana domiciles. Among the others there is a large number of those who got into the lower rung nationals right from GNLU onwards in CLAT 2009. There are quite a few students who quit Christ and came here( not only are they relieved considering Christ isn’t a deemed Uni anymore, but they claim that academics too are far better here). We even have a student who quit NLUJ to come here. Practically half of us got into Symbi, a lot of us in the very first list itself. The decision to choose JGLS over all our other options(Christ, Symbi, lower rung nationals) wasn’t easy since JGLS was a new college- we had no info or stats about placements, activities, future prospects or anything. It was a risk we all took. And an expensive one too. Our fees are exorbitantly high. Those with domiciles have upto 100% scholarships. The rest of us too have studentships, scholarships and fee concessions, so it makes it easier for us and we work harder in order to save our scholarships. So it isn’t like we’re all rich brats who came here because we had nowhere else to go.
I agree that JGLS currently has nothing to show on paper if your criteria for choosing the best would be- placements, mooting and academic acheivements etc. But seriously, if you read what the Uni has to offer( and I can assure you that they’ve atleast delivered all that was promised ), you will see that our faculty is incomparable- they’re all scholars from Ivy Leagues or the top Uni’s from across the globe. Professor Schuck from Yale taught us in teh last semester. We have frequent seminars and debates. Most importantly, the professors are actually as good as their achievements, and they CAN teach. They’re young and very approachable- some of them are awe-inspiring. Being in the first year itself I have had so much exposure considering we have no seniors. The amount of exposure that can be used to one’s advantage is tremendous. The contacts that the faculty and administration have is incomparable- so I’m not worried about placements. Moreover, we are encouraged to weigh our options beyond the Corporate sphere. Some of us are interning with Additional Solicitor Generals and advocates from the SC. Every student here is mentored personally and given attention- our batch is even split up into sections for a better student-teacher ratio. JGLS takes itself very seriously
So, please, don’t write us off completely as of now. I’m sure you’re going to hear so much more about us in teh next three years. As of now, the word-of-mouth review has been exceptional.

.
Christ and ICFAI have lost their deemed university status so, I don’t consider it fit to study there although the website of Christ University still claims to be recognized by the UGC.
Can anyone tell me about bharati vidyapeeth’s new law college???

What abt the placement records of bharati vidyapeeth???

i am not from Christ..i got few friends there..are you sure they do not have Bar Council of India recognition? Because, if they do not..then it should be a huge concern for them as they will not have a license to practice ever..I personally don’t think you are right here..No college will be that foolish not to take BCI recognition..
hey champ i work in a corporate firm and i hav a son who passed class 12th in dis year only…coz of unsuffi. time of preparation he cudnt able to crack clat…so i decided him to admit him in christlaw college as he cleared d test bt after knowing dis institute is not recognised by bar council of india i admitted him in ms ramaiah law college,bangalore…vch is a great college.it has a brand name,a huge campus and it ranked 19th in all over india in 2007 n 2009…
Pl. go through BCI site and down load list of approved colleges.
Christ college is very much in the list.
Why you all advocates and would be advocates are wasting time on such silly issues. Its one of the reason why in India cases last for years.
any more comments on icfai dehradun?
GUYS PLEASE CHECK OUT THE FACULTY PROFILE OF KIIT LAW SCHOOL I CAN BET IF YOU GET BETTER FACULTY THAN KIIT IN ANY OF THE PRIVATE COLLEGES…THOUGH ITS FIRST BATCH HAS NOT BEEN PASSED YET BUT AS SOON ITS FIRST BATCH WILL PASS OUT THE RESULT WILL BE IN FRONT OF ALL OF YOU.
I CAN SAY ONE THING THAT IF YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDS THAN FROM ALL OF THE PRIVATE COLLEGES YOU MUST OPT FOR KIIT. AND IF ANYONE CAN BET IT WILL BE THE BEST PRIVATE LAW SCHOOL IN THE UPCOMING PERIOD.
I’m from Symbi and they were 80+ placements out of 140… in symbi you can choose whether you want yo sit for them or not… not extraordinary but numbers are ok…
i m a first year student of Symbiosis Law School, i left hnlu raipur for SLS n i m happy. But now a days when gnlu had 12 for amms, nlsiu 8 n nujs 9 what kind of placement do SLS has?
Does AMMS also recruit students from our college
@Nightcrawler- what is ur name?
Dear Lawyered,
I would like to request you not to use the term LOWER RUNG for GNLU. GNLU is coming up as one of the best in business, So far 30 students have been placed in the top notch law firms of India (14 in Amarchand alone) and still the placement weeks are due to come in the next semester.
I would also like to inform you that where your college was placed 2nd in some competition in the first year, my college won the Surana Moot in the same, also we ‘ve won many national and international competitions in a short span of 6 years which any other law school would only dream to achieve. these competitions include not only moots, but also conferences, debates, MUN’s and many more.
while others think of participating, we think of WINNING, and still People like you call us a LOWER RUNG NLS.
Ignorance is bliss, and if you were ignorant of these facts please feed them into the hard drive of ur memory. And yeah..please dont use that term again for my UNIVERSITY.
Your well Wisher,
Student from GNLU
Google Law School Rankings and you will come up with any number of article which rank law schools in India.
e.g India Today ranks the private schools as - Symbiosis (5), ILS(7), Amity Delhi(10) - Figs in brackets indicate overall rankings.
Outlook - Symbiosis(6), Amity Noida(8), BILS(9).
There are many more such rankings so you can take your pick. Many of the comments on this forum offer insider insights which may help.
Dude ! i think u should check this years placements …for GNLU…its only 7yrz old…n only 2 batches have passed out so far…n its not fair to judge a college so early…but how ever…this year placements in GNLU are showing very positive signs…It is there 3rd batch…and Amarchand recruiting 15 students …which is the highest intake by AMSS from any national law school..this year… d kind of growth GNLU has shown is indeed phenomenal… in my view it is undoubtedly the next National law school entering the Tier 1 league…my friend from GNLU informs me about the majestic campus which is underway…and undoubtedly the students have proved themselves everywhere… and more ov after the inception of CLAT i personally feel that there is hardly any difference in quality of students in the top 6 NLU’s…namely NLS,NALSAR,NUJS,NLU JODHPUR ,GNLU N NLIU BHOPAL…
2nd year
NUJS…
It is useless to judge which law school is the best…be it private, be it Governmental. The point is how is the law school performing in the recent years.
A few things does matter a lot, such as:
: A good and industrious Vice Chancellor.
: Good overall performance in the academic and co-curricular activities.
: Good mooting atmosphere.
: Good recruitment.
: Good faculty quality.
Sorry to say but most of the colleges lack good faculties and that is the reason Mr.Veerappa Moily is setting up institutions specially to improve standards of these faculty members.
I am of the opinion that there is no rankings as such. All are fixed previously and there is a big business that goes on under this banner of rankings.
And yes, GNLU got AMSS because they have AMSS head in their boards - Res ipsa loquitor.
Colleges like HNLU are coming up pretty well the only fact they are not highlighted is that they do not brag!!

Hey, I listed almost 20 good pvt. law schools, you may prefer them in given order or as per your judgement
Symbiosis Society Law College, Pune
Indian Law Society Law College, Pune
Amity Law School, Delhi (Aff. To G.G.S.I.U. Delhi)
Jindal Global Law School, Sonepat
Army Inst. of Law, Mohali
New Law College, Pune
Bangalore Institute of Legal Studies
D.E.S. Law College, Pune
KIIT Law School, Bhubaneswar
Institute of Law, Nirma University
Christ University School of Law, B’lore
KLE Society Law College, Bangalore
Kerala Law Academy, Thiruanantpuram

M.S. Ramaiah College of Law Bangalore
Amity Law School, Amity University, Noida
Faculty of Law ICFAI Hyderabad
ICFAI Law College Dehradun
UPES Law School, Dehradun
This ranking is really genuine , but i would suggest dat i.c.f.a.i and u.p.e.s should be placed a little higher in the ranking !!
With Respect to posts regarding the University Status of Christ : Christ has not been stripped of it’s university status, and proceedings in the Apex Court suggest that Status Quo would be the call for the day. In any way, the final posting has been scheduled for the 11th of January. Status Quo remains- Christ is still a University.
Also, it is a BAR Council of India recognized University. Really astonishing as to how certain posts have outrightly claimed it to be outside the BAR. Please read up on facts, as to how it was our Union Law Minister Mr. Moiley who fought for University Recognition in the first place at the BAR.
Claims in a certain post as to moving one’s child from Christ to Rammaiah based on information gathered upon the non inclusion of Christ University into the BAR recognition is a good laughter pill in this thread.
Final Remarks
1. School of Law, Christ University holds its University Badge.
2. Hearing is in front of the Apex Bench on the 11th of January.
3. School of Law, Christ University is a recognised BAR Council of India University.
Hope that cleared all doubts.
This is regarding Christ. It has got its pros and cons like any other institution. The good things are it has got one of the better infrastructures, faculty, library and even placement opportunity even when compared to national law schools. however after being a part of this college for some years now I am just dying to pass out considering the way the college runs. Students have no liberty in here. No body asks for students union but what is outrageous in it makes fun of students rights.
and if you are a girl you might also run the risk of being molested by a father. the minimum attendance is 85% and even if one misses college because one’s father passed away one has to pay the fine. there is no declared tariff for fines. whatever the father decides goes up on the slip.
your parents can be called for issues as trivial as not being in uniform and then they might not be given an appointment till 1 week of running hither tither. if your mobile phone gets confiscated your sim cant be taken out nor can your memory card. the fathers would like to check your private data. you have to have 85% attendance and anything short of that would ensure a guardian call. even if its falls in between where one still has enough time in hand to make up for the attendance at the end, his/her parents would still be called. Almost all the rules suck and the management is not at all approachable let alone be friendly.
I would not have chosen this college even though it comes with an assurance of an atleast 15 lakh package at the end for every good student. this is my experience at christ at the end of 4 years.
hahah christ promissing 15 lakh p.a placements..? ? you must be blind and stupid to believe that… dont go by the looks of the college…look at the faculty and their experience which is nothing
.only lift themselves on a pedestal.NALSAR placement have student being picked up for 10 lakhs per annum and you expect christ to better that…lol…Christ is a waste of time and money…seriously 1.45 lakhs p.a fees !!? ?
Better colleges in bangalore which charge below 50k .They dont even have decent mooters and debators(mooting premier league).Its just the name of the their branches of colleges that they have is why they have got the name.
The management is good though .You are a professional act like one stop complaining about attendance and other issues…grow up.
ther are other private colleges in bangalore which have brilliant mooters
ULC
KLE
CMR LAW
(check mooting premier league status of these colleges-google)
BILS is not a good college
Good luck
Placement in Christ would commence for the 1st time in a weeks time for the final year students.
So anyone commenting on it, is mere speculation and serves no end.
Like above mentioned, they have a brand name and very capable of roping in big names for placement purposes.
Again, lets just wait for the placement period to end, following which further info based on facts can be produced.
Also, coming to the fee i would surely say it is justified. It is definitely on the expensive side when compared to colleges of repute like ULC, GLC and ILS( just random examples) but the facilities, the seminars and the law building in itself( also the 4 floor library under construction currently) are lovely.
Finally, as per the Mooting, all the big teams are entering into moots starting from this month.
Our 1st year teams finished quarter finalists at BSLS 5th National Moot and the NLS-Bhopal Moot as well. Admitted, we have not won many, but this is bound to improve with time !
The newly established ITM Law School at Gurgaon has all the potentials to emerge as one of the best law schools of the country
can u plzzzz give me some useful info regarding upes …
Amity Law School, Delhi is not a private Law School. It is affiliated with the GGSIP University, which is a Delhi Govt. aided univ.
Today jindal global law school is the best pvt law school .Any one can see its faculty infra-structure, liberary ,tie-p with all world’s best universities,internanally exposure to students student exchange programme to world’s top universities/law firms …But one thing it is HIGH fees
Who says its the best law school//// is it all about money only… JIndal law schoool has no stand… no placement… nothin… not a single renowned faculty… in the end pls dont recommend jindal law school to anyone… specially one who wants to make a career in legal fraternity
I am continually surprised at the amount of energy spent on these fora to attack other law schools. While pride in one’s own institution is laudable, criticism of others especially when totally without consideration of facts indicates lack of confidence. Some of you guys need to take a chill pill and explain why you think your school is the best instead of trying to denigrate another.
Are you stupid?
How will Jindal have placements? It does not have a graduating batch! You guys are so silly man.
Also, no renowned faculty, again, who is renowned in your opinion. It has the best faculty in India currently because they pay their teachers enough, again because they have high fees. It’s okay not to have a good opinion of that college, but for such arguments. I pray to God that you do not become a lawyer, because take it from a practicing lawyer, you’re not going to progress beyond 5K a month
i got into jindal and upes and am now confused as to where i should join…plz help
Give a choice, I would take Jindal. But it really is your decision
What about Jindal Law School
if its ICFAI, only dehradun campus is worth taking admissions.
hey! i was just goin through the jindal website, and i wanted to know how many seats they offer and the quality of teaching. and also what about the jd programme? could you explain it please?
cheers!
UPES Dehradun how is it for law?a friend of mine wants to do his bba-llb in corporate law, he has found the right place and thinks UPES Dehradun is the option he must go for. i heard upes placements are good but i want to know how it is as a college overall, plz help!
I’d like to bring to your notice “Bishop Cotton Women’s Christian Law College”, Bangalore. It is the first of it’s kind, all girls law college. It falls under Karnataka State Law University. Not very well known yet has slowly been doing it’s bit. It has been nurturing budding women advocates for 10 years now :)
the identity of this college is arcane yet it is silently popular in it’s own way !
Wat does energy has anything to do with law here
Abt upes i doubt not a good college in dehradun icfai is good i suppose
THE BEST PRIVATE LAW UNIVERSITY ACCORDING TO STUDIOUS ATMOSPHEAR
AND BEST FACULTY -ICFAI,DEHRADUN .
India does have a few good private colleges for studying law. I believe that Jindal Global Law School would rank first, followed by Symbiosis Law School, Pune and a tie between KIIT School of Law and School of Law, Christ University for third.
[quote=“ok” post=5526]if its ICFAI, only dehradun campus is worth taking admissions.[/quote]OK
Symbiosis is the best option as law school
wow, how mis-informed are you man?
Frankly no private law school comes close to JGLS if quality of faculty, infrastructure, international exposure, etc given priority. Even the good student quality is evident from their recent moot performances (See MPL on LegallyIndia).
However given its high cost, Law Schools like ILS Pune, Symbiosis Pune, Nirma Ahmedabad, Amity, Delhi, Christ Bangalore, KIIT Bhubaneswar, Symbiosis Noida, Kerala Law Academy, UPES/ICFAI Dehradun, VIPS Delhi etc. could be next better options to choose from among private law schools.
What was the last year lsat india cut off of jgls
The best law school onecan have is JINDAL its faculty is more than what we expect and foreign tieups are best in jindal recommend on university which has foreign tieups
Amity Delhi is not a private law school.
Amity Noida is.
Both are similar in terms of curriculum and infrastructure, but you would find a better crop of students in Amity, Delhi. There’s good and bad in both, but you might find Amity, Delhi to be a safer option.
Some private law schools are Symbiosis Law College, Pune; ILS Law College, Pune; Amity Law School, Delhi; The Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University, Chennai.
@Sheena…The Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University, Chennai is not a private Law School…

Hi, if you are looking for best law schools in India.. then I can thin of only 2 universities.. UPES-Dehradun and DU-Delhi. However, UPES is the only one which is offering specialized and integrated courses. DU is offering basic LLB courses. So, choose wisely.

Hi Sakshi, you might want to mention in your posts that you’re an UPES alumni?
