For namesake NLU
Dear All,
Let me tell you a very interesting story. In the year of 2008 there was a birth of a law university like any other law university. And in the year of 2013 that university was officially declared as a National Law University. I am talking about “DAMODARAM SANJIVAYYA NATIONAL LAW UNIVERSITY aka DSNLU” in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. Sounds so strange no… Now you must be thinking how come 2 NLU could exist in the same state? My dear, the very answer to the question is also not known to the student of DSNLU.
The university claims to be a NLU. The irony is the university is nowhere mentioned in the CLAT website. And moreover the basis of admission is your CLAT rank!!!ROFL. Now tell me on what grounds we can take it as a NLU.
The so called NLU has not got its campus. The students live in a very deteriorated condition and specially girls no security at all (There were interesting incidents…lets keep it for next time). The condition is no less comparable to living on roads. In reality we can better name them nomads as they do not have any permanent establishment.
The university has got its first batch and supposedly they are in 5th year now and they do not have any idea about placement…
Where this university aka NLU will stand god only knows. Will you recognize it as a NLU???

Hey guyzzz,
Check out this site https://dsnlu.ac.in/events/. You will be shocked to see no events news. The truth is that this university had only conducted seminars every once in a year. ROFL. Wait!!! there is even much more exciting gossips. Like schools they conduct unit tests prior to mid-sem. How is this possible in a NLU? It means you shall not be having choice for internships during non-peak time. And about holidays, the schedule is so idiotic!!! No autumn breaks. There motto is only study What study man when the faculties are so horrible.. Will you dare to join this university as a student. Trust me if you are planning then drop your idea. It is no more than wasting your life.
Stay tuned I will be back with more interesting stories.
Welcome back gyzz,
I am back with more interesting updates as I have promised you before. But before that let me ask you a very simple question : Who is supposed to be the chancellor of a National Law University? Now you must be thinking that why I have asked this question when it is known to everybody that only Chief Justice of High Court acts as chancellor. Now here is the twist. Do you know who is the chancellor of DSNLU? None other than chancellor of CNLU, Patna. LMAO. What all they can do when NALSAR took away the privilege? They did not have any option left and to give it a NLU feeling they appointed Prof. A. Lakshminath as their worthy chancellor. OMG!!! First time in the history we have witnessed a vice-chancellor of NLU is also acting as a Chancellor of some other NLU. Is it possible? But why CNLU’s vice-chancellor? Did it struck your mind? I will answer that question.
There is a history behind the appointment. Some of you might know that during the first 3 years of the establishment Prof. Y Satyanarayana acted as vice-chancellor. Prof. A Laksminath was his mentor and both were in good terms. According to a source on Prof. A Lakshminath’s first visit to the then APUL presently DSNLU, Y Satyanarayana made a statement among students i.e., 1st batch that he requested Prof. A Lakshminath to act as chancellor and he assented to it. This is the story behind the appointment. This is only called making possible which is not otherwise possible. What is your viewpoint? Till then stay tuned for other related updates.
I do recognize that their is a need to ensure that DSNLU is not perceived as an NLU. That is a very dangerous scenario. However, there is no need to be juvenile about the already existing setup they have. These people deserve a chance.
A CHANCE OF WHAT? TO CHEAT PARENTS AND STUDENTS IN THE NAME OF NLU?
THIS UNIVERSITY DOES NOT DESERVE A NLU TAG!!! CHEATER COCKS!!!
A lot of universities do not deserve the NLU tag. It’s been downhill from GNLU.
Being a law student; and hence disposed to argue.
May I point out that your claim that since DSNLU is not mentioned in the CLAT website; it’s not a proper NLU is flawed.
Because neither is NLUDelhi; which is one of the best there is.
That being said, DSNLU needs to improve in leaps and bounds. But it’s a new university, let’s give it a chance.
NLUD has a standard. The quota of chances are not getting over for DSNLU since its establishment. The university is in deteriorated condition and standards are very low. It does not deserve to be a NLU.
Hello Everyone,
I am back again with new updates!!! If you remember in one of my post I discussed about achievements in moots of DSNLU. Here I got a very interesting fact. There is a small achievement. But it is not highly recognized. You must be thinking that how come achievement in moot and not so recognized. I will answer that query. But before that let me get you in the history of the achievement. In the year of 2010 2 member team of DSNLU’s first batch won Siddhartha Law College state level moot court competition held in Vijaywada, Andhra Pradesh. LOL!!! At least something is better than nothing. But if you go to achievements tab in DSNLU website the achievement is not mentioned. why? Because they are too ashamed to tell everyone that DSNLU won state level moot court competition. Some people say the achievement is influenced because only local law colleges have participated in that competition and DSNLU the then APUL was the only standard one there. Yah we can understand your agony DSNLU. Poor that team!!! This is called an achivement not so achieved.
DSNLU was never ranked in Mooting Premier League. And moreover this NLU never appeared in any national headlines except in regional newspapers. How unimaginable is it that a NLU does not involve itself in mooting? What is your opinion on that? Till then stay tuned for more related updates.
I have never seen such a blank NLU. I went there for my admission counselling. The university got no infrastructure. When I asked about the hostels they replied ” It is yet to be finalized.”
It seems the first batch of DSNLU have no placement prospect. Many law firms are unaware of the fact that vizag got NLU.
My advice to all novice law aspirants, I have been closely observing DSNLU right from the day when it became an NLU. On some points, it really is lagging behind in terms of infra and hostel, no doubt about that but one should know it was accorded with a NLU status only in mid 2012 and is a nascent national law school striving hard to find a suitable niche for itself. For those who don’t know, let me notify them something. WBNUJS was established in the year 2000 and it operated in a nearby environment ministry office. Students were skeptical about it’s future. But today, it is one of the most prestigious law schools in the country. How so ? Only just because of their sturdy and talented faculty. And that’s what is not missing in DSNLU. I am hopeful about this law school for sure.
P.S.- Students be a little wise and don’t always get misled by critiques. Try to find out the truth by yourself. For those who still are not convinced about it’s NLU status, I am enclosing the Andhra Pradesh gazette’s Act no. 15 statute. Now, decide it yourself !
[attachment=67]GazetteA.363.pdf[/attachment]
Regards
The gazette is uploaded in the dsnlu website. Just because a recognition has been given that itself does not substantiate the purpose. What sturdy? Except for seminars they never organized any events. NUJS people are hardworking and that is why the university has secured its future. It is totally missing in DSNLU. They do not understand what is called hardworking. They only believe they are NLUite and the status will change their future.
How could you claim that DSNLU will have a good future? Students make a university not faculties. The success behind all the NLUs is the hard work of their students. Why would we spend a lot for this bogus university? Do you understand our parents have so many expectations with our future? There is no point of spending when the university can not guarantee one’s future.
That is seriously true. Our parents have so many expectations with us. There is no prospect for placement in DSNLU and how could you claim the university will be having a great future? Not everybody wants to practice after degree or become self-sufficient. Everybody has their own priorities. What are we going to do when not even a single law firm will recruit us?
It is in reference to NALSAR ‘06. I do not know whether you belong from NALSAR or not. But I just I want to tell you one thing lets see the present not the past. Whatever was WBNUJS at one point of time is not the point of concern today. But presently DSNLU has no future prospect.
Well, at the time NUJS came out, the only competition it had was NLS, NALSAR and NLIU. Not the same today. However, nobody is asking anyone to come to DSNLU by dropping a good college. I believe that it is an okayish last resort when a person finds himself out of options. A lot of NLUs do not have future prospects, ask your friends who study at NUSRL Ranchi or NLUJA Assam.
you know what the situation is typically worst in DSNLU. They do not have faculties. there are few faculties who are taking charge interchangeably since the first year of the first batch. Due to this privilege faculties started acting on their whims. Even is in such a position to spoil any student future because they know they will never get fired for their act.
If you want to know about a university better ask its students. Just because some people are supporting it on positive grounds or say being emotional does not produce a positive response. I will better recommend you pay a visit to DSNLU or the best way to join as DSNLU student you will learn the fact.
Hey gyzz,
I am back again with new updates. Tell me one thing what do you expect from a hostel? How it should be? It is very apparent that anybody will be willing to stay in a good condition with hygienic food. But if you are expecting all these facilities from DSNLU then you have come to a wrong place.
DSNLU has a tendency of shifting its temporary abode (hostel) every one year. The hostel is taken on contract basis for a term of one year. After completion of the tenure period their management gets back again to their previous practice.
Their administration hunt for a accommodation where they can push all their strength by anyhow. They do not mind to care whether it will be appropriate for the student to keep in. This practice is going on since 4 years. You will be amazed to know that 4 girls sharing a room are very lucky because there are other girls who are sharing 6 girls per bed in a room (Earlier it was 8 girls per bed in a room ). It is very astonishing that even after reaching to your seniority you are not given preference. But there is one privilege. If you want to go for a single occupancy room you will be given the kitchen of the apartment. Seriously man!!! What kind of life their students are living?
There were so many cases of food poisoning specially among girls. Some incidents like high fever, flu, diarrhea, sore throat and most common problems like dysentery and even gynecological problems have come up. Many complaints have been lodged with the management. But zero action has been taken so far.
If I tell you about the way of cooking food in the hostel your reaction will be OMG!!! or Yak According to a source the cook/maid who is often involved in cooking do not care to wash their hand even after attending nature calls. Ew!!! They even do not care to pour insects if it comes with the vegetables. Relish your insect curry baby
Talking about the boys hostel it is no less than staying in a hell. We have come to know that 10 people used to stay in a double room apartment. Could you imagine the level of untidiness around those people? It is very obvious that when you are staying in such a deteriorated condition you will fall sick. And that is what happened to them which led them drive out of the hostel.
Do you have any idea how much students are paying for this worm infected food and untidy room? It is unexpectedly high around 4000-5000/month!!! Just imagine only for one bed with no wardrobes and study table.
The hostel management do not believe in providing hot water during winters and if you are thinking of getting an immersion rod or water kettle. Do not even dare to think otherwise you will be charged 500 extra for that.
Management of DSNLU is once again back with their “hunt for hostel” mission. It has come to known again they are planning to keep 4 students in a room. The policy will be same for their final year students. Come on man at least let them enjoy their final year in your university!!!Along with the shifting, students are also bearing the inconveniences like huge transport cost. Mental and physical suffering are also on the same line.
What is your opinion. Are they not travelling like nomads? The management is so iconic that it declares itself a NLU. In spite of spending huge by the parents the management is providing a low class service.
OMG!!! NAINA I GOT TO KNOW THAT THEY HAVE TAKEN AGAIN NEW ACCOMODATION. KINDLY TELL US ABOUT IT.
this is seriously awesome!!!
Naina who is this ayush and why he is freaking out by your post???
Dear all,
You would be surprised to know that DSNLU has first time hit the national headlines. YAH!!! You are hearing it right. This is Times of India, Visakhapatnam edition.
Now a great surprise. Those of you think that whatever I have posted is bullshit or a publicity stunt. Now I can confidently claim my words with the article. Read it you will get to know the truth. The article is a slapping reply to Ayush Jaiswal. Sorry dear!!! try next time.
The link is :

KIAN NOW ITS YOUR TURN TO FEATURE SOMETHING EXCLUSIVE.
Teehee. Are you a student at DSNLU?
It coulde be a nightmare for me kian.
well done naina!!! a direct slap on the cheek of dumass ayush jaiswal. he he he
So I still don’t understand. Are you all students at DSNLU? Or are you just interested parties? And why are you all fighting with each other about this? Surely you all agree that it is a national law school, although it’s clearly struggling…
kian, you must be agree with me on one point that li has featured many controversies of other nlus. why are you being moral with dsnlu? i don’t understand why people like you show sympathy for those who does not deserve.
kian its show time. come on tell us what is your opinion on the article? have you even read it? doesnt the report similar to the narration of naina.
To be completely honest, I still don’t quite get it (partly because of all the noise and name calling on this forum, perhaps).
From what I understand, DSNLU is AP’s second national law school and has been operating nearly in secret for the last 4 years. And its infrastructure is pretty shoddy, it doesn’t have any funds and is generally a bit of a strange place.
Sounds like most NLUs, to be honest… :)
Seriously though, while there is no breaking news angle, as such, it does seem like there’s an interesting story there but it’d need some time to report and there have been a few other things going on… We’ll try to have a look some time.
Naina,
It is more a slap on your face! the article acknowledges that it is a national law university! and funds, well even NUJS had to take loan for construction of their campus! same would be done by DSNLU… So! the TOI Article has proved the “base” of your article (i.e. DSNLU is not an NLU) wrong… Try misleading people other time!
Kian,
It is “naina” who is replying in different different names…
For your information, even “naina” is an imaginary person…
Every Law School has its own problems, its about how the students make it or break it NALSAR got one of the best directors in form of Faizan Mustafa..yet people are fuming..its going to be there in all campus. Worst case is NLIU, you must visit something called as NLIU Forum on FB, students of NLIU are peeling off dignity of NLIU openly at that forum they have problems with director, they dont have basic amenities at their disposal. Students of the university themselves report the negatives to other forums publicly,They show no respect for thier own college ,admin,faculties and are creating hue and cry on almost everything. Point is atleast the student who are at dsnlu themselves are not fuming at their college and they are working hard at building their brandname which should be appreciated, but this cheating thing in name of nlu shud be stopped, even i think so
Now what matters most is that how the students make the institute.They wont be a good law school today but if they select good students and mentor them properly tomorrow they may become one, but never a national law school. for now lets wait and watch where the reach. they have competition in KIIT,Jindal,Symbiosis etc. lets see where this takes them.
Folks, the N tag doesn’t work anymore..now is the era of which N? law schools like HNLU, NLIU are struggling with batches already across AMSS, AZB..and for years. I heard Amarchand recruited 5 from RMLNLU for the 2014 batch (unconfirmed)..I think DSNLU and the likes of the ones coming up in Tamil Nadu..all of you are doomed! Atleast for the first 5 batches.
So…stop bitching about yourselves and start studying. Thats the only, and only thing thats gonna save your future.
Good Luck.
Hi AAron! U R absolutely correct! however, I don’t agree on the point that DSNLU is cheating people. It is a NATIONAL LAW UNIVERSITY. A fake NLU would never get recognition from BCI and UGC.
P.S.- Both of them acknowledge that DSNLU is an NLU!
Hello Dumbass Naina,
Your pen name is exactly contrasting to your awful views about DSNLU. Neither you’re from DSNLU, nor you are anyway connected with it, So why do you worry a lot. And also tell us how much are you getting paid for it, are you getting bucks or something else. And not being in the functionary nor associated to the administration of this institution, you neither cannot make such blunt comments nor present your most needed view. No one here is awaiting your Dumbass Highness’s reply or view about this NLU. And you also donot seem to be a person with the credentials worth commenting about other institutions, so you better stop posting all of this information which can neither be proved, nor evidentiated accordingly !!
With Loads of Bata Chappal Slaps on your Dumb-Hole Face,
Prudent Person
I dont know how do you people bring other establsihed universities in the picture, you may kindly keep GNLU out of it, GNLU is doing pretty well for itself. I am from there and I have no complains, rather i am happy about the kind of education and opportunities i got there. You being an outsider are neither eligible nor competent to judge GNLU.
Naina,
Even the hon’ble judges of the Madras High Court (according to you) would be wrong when they acknowledged DSNLU as a National Law University in the case of R. Rajkumar v. Govt. of India. Right???
Please don’t mislead people and delete this post immediately if you respect the Hon’ble High Court and its judgment.
Hello Everyone,
There has been a consistent scurrilous remarks on my post that I am actually misleading people regarding the truth of DSNLU that it is not a NLU. The point is if it is a NLU then why the two student of DSNLU moved a writ petition in the AP High Court for inclusion the university into CLAT. Well I am not telling this. This is a news report posted by Bar and Bench on their website dated 23rd May 2014. Refer this link
A third student has also moved a letter to CJI R M Lodha with the similar request. According to Bar and Bench the “letter appears to be an act of desperation more than anything else.” As it is well said desperation is not good without good reason.
The CLAT committee has to decide on this issue today. Nothing can be said right now. Lets see what happens. I am attaching the letter requested to CJI by the third student received by a reliable source.
The letter
Naina,
yes! you are right! DSNLU is not a national law university! In-fact it was the hon’ble judge, who mislead people when he WROTE in the TNNLS Judgment that DSNLU is a National Law University!!!
Really a great creation you are!!!
Thanks for uploading the letter!For your information- you have been traced (thanks to the copy of CJI letter you uploaded) never expected this from you…
[quote=“sabbarwalnaina” post=10340]The point is if it is a NLU then why the two student of DSNLU moved a writ petition in the AP High Court for inclusion the university into CLAT..[/quote]
With this logic, National Law University, Delhi isn’t an NLU either. Right?
NLU Delhi is the outcome of an initiative taken by High Court of Delhi to set up world class law education facility in the capital. Just tell me what is the purpose of DSNLU when NALSAR is already existing in the state.
i don know how could any student of the university itself be suck a backstab to the university. The university was establishged in the year 2008..makaing it a totral newborn… it is to be observed that every NLU is older than DSNLU itself… The major baisi of being called an NLU is surely propagating legal knowlege in a progressive mannner in which no student will deny that DSNLU has NOT been lagging behind. Such kind of articles are defamatory to the college and donot tell anything about the true standards this particular college actually has.
They may not have their own building to boast but the do use every inch of whatever they have. The college is overloaded with talent and people who actually are willing to make a mark for the sake of this college. trying to keep personal remarks off..but its so easy to ask the writer that y did nt u chose another collge if u felt that it was soo below par ur level…coz the others anyways will support the college through till it makes big..and will be working in that direction instead of whining about having to change multiple hostels… for few its least of the concerns coz we chose to respect the educational instution which has given us so mch and thats what we were taught to do since our nursery…
kindly go back and revise up…coz u do need it…
Dear “naina”- the fifth year student (pass out) of DSNLU
Everyone knows about the issues that you had with the administration of DSNLU. This is not the way to deal with the frustration that you have against the university. U R defaming the university, on whose degree you would earn your daily bread in future. being your junior (Bad luck of mine), I request you to delete this defaming article immediately.
P.S.- don’t compel me to reveal your name in public. Also, this is the last time, you are being asked to delete this; if you don’t, be prepared for a show cause notice from the university. For your info- this article itself is sufficient enough to cancel your degree. U R wise enough to decide
I’ve been following this thread for some time now, and this is getting interesting. *gets popcorn*
well. the 5th years who currently passed out are not getting any NLU tag.. it is the recent batches that get the nlu tag. and moreover no nlu assures u placements. it is individual talent and work that gets you a placement. even hnlu gave only 20 percent placements to the students. and moreover most of the students who passed out this year chose to study further. and people have got good placements. get your facts clear before blabbering nautical nonsense online ma’am.
Who are you and what are your credentials could you please tell me??? And who the hell gave you the right to malign a statutorily established body????? Do you know that you are not only defaming a statutory authority but also giving wrong information to people which is infact called fraud. Although i don’t exactly understand how it benefits you. Now getting back to the point do you know that a vice chancellor of any national university is appointed by the chair of governor. Moreover a cj of the High Court cannot have two official posts by the government of India hence the chancellor of dsnlu is different. And before mocking some reputed institution I would suggest you would grow up amd fill an RTI. It would hardly take 25 rupees and you free to a put it on my tab. Do you know that the land allocated tl DSNLU is the second largest campus among all nlus. You know y I know this because we filed a fucking RTI instead of being a nincompoop like you. If your so much interested in criticism please get a life before you start defaming some very reputed institutions.
Also I would like to bring to the notice of the in charge of legally India please check before you post any article over here. Otherwise I would be really tempted to bring this to the notice of district Court of Vishakhapatnam.
As of now the bifurcation has taken place already. Now that’s the reason y it was started in the first place
Sir i am a student of this university, and it is after much research that I joined it. RTI was filed to establish the current status of nlu as a fact. If you could kindly upload genuine posts instead of any humdrum it would be really helpful of you. This article is not only defamatory but misleading too harming the reputation of one statutorily established university.
NALSAR, Hyderabad web site contains all the information. See their annual reports where it gives lot of information. DSNLU web reveals nothing. It needs a big improvement and it appears that wantedly they are not updating. In recent recruitment there are rumours that sons, daughters and wives are taken into faculty. Naina, what is your comment?
CHECK THIS OUT THE LINK THE IDENTITY IS QUESTIONED.
http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Visakhapatnam/dsnlu-students-on-the-warpath/article6273008.ece
I do not understand why the fuss they make in the open public when everybody knows it is not a NLU. Now this is officially declared. This university was cheating students in the name of NLU and not even that they charged 1.5 lakhs from the new batch. Nobody knows what would happen to the future of students. Guys, have some sense while blabbing it is an NLU.
DSNLU is an example of CHUTIYAPPA. The students are very much pissed off specially the recent batch. The blame game is going extra. They misbehave with their super seniors in public and sell the name of the college with their credentials. Being a law student do not make yourself a lawyer. You earn the respect with time, patience and knowledge. Do not utter nonsensical things.
Dear Ayush Jaiswal,
What happened to the petition you filed? You were claiming something that a 5th year girl is actually defaming the university? Who is that girl? Reveal her identity. What are you afraid of? Do you still believe that her article is a piece of shit? Because I found her very genuine and you a dumbass. Finally it is officially declared by government that NALSAR is the only NLU in the capital. What do you think of yourself? How come you and your friends can actually hide the facts when it is already known in the public? Stop being a hero when you do not have the credentials.
The new GO No. 65 has made a great controversy regarding the identity of DSNLU. How come they were using the name NLU for the last 6 years when an NLU was still in existence before bifurcation of the state. Well the development is totally pathetic. They make false promises about construction of their campus but it never proved to be true. Government is also very much reluctant to support this university and that is why they are actually planning to set up an another NLU par with NALSAR. This university is totally complicated and I believe it does not deserve an NLU tag because they fail with the standards. For more information refer the link:

Dear Naina (San***ta)
Please visit the CLAT website and check the list of participating NLUs… you will find the ‘namesake NLU’ on the 15th Rank. I hope this makes it very clear as to who ‘THE Dumbass’ is. I know, you won’t stop uttering shit about our university nor would I stop you from doing so (this encourages us to help our university grow)… At last I’d like to thank you for encouraging all of us to get this done!
Please continue with the post and give people a laughter session!
All the very best!
Check out your CLAT site.

ROFL!! The author is mad or what?
sir let me know od admission to part time phd
srinivas
Yes, there are a lot of universities that don’t deserve an NLU tag..they don’t have the infrastructure, faculty or placements to back it up..it is just because of universities like these that the over all standard of clat colleges is degraded..why do the people incharge of clat want to make it a crowded club..a few top notch colleges are way better than including 20 below average ones.
Anonymous,
Firstly- It is the state government that decides as to which university should be given the NLU status. It is better if you do not give our expert opinions on that!:P
Secondly- Infrastructure (according to what i feel) does not play a major role in deciding if a law school is good or bad. As far as DSNLU is concerned, 80% of the construction of the permanent campus is already done. you may have a look at the new campus by searching dsnlu new campus on google maps.
Thirdly- CLAT is only a voluntary association of universities. It is not the authority to ‘grade’ a university. CLAT core committee is not empowered to reject the request of an NLU that intends to join it (please refer directions of Hon’ble Supreme Court in Varun Bhagat v. Union of India, pursuant to which CLAT was introduced).
Conclusion- this article is a Piece of Shit!
Hello ayush, i want to join DSNLU this year 2015 batch.
scince you are studying there, pls tell me how the faculty is.Also administration
Hi! I’ll surely help you out. As far as academics are concerned, there is no major problem as such. We have a team good teachers from different reputed universities like GNLU, HNLU, and SAU. Well, about administration-there are some issues (since the university is not too old) but you can manage with it. Overall DSNLU is good.
When will the new campus open???
The campus construction is going on.. Hostels are almost done and acad+admin blocks are under construction.. I think, we will be shifting to the new campus by July 2016.
Hahahaha!!! kian, why have you allowed this article on website??? it is full of non-sense!
