Nalsar Hyderabad - Consistent Performance
NLU Delhi - Consistent Rise
NUJS Kolkata (Legacy Law Schools, but eroding because it's in Kolkata)
NLU Jodhpur - Meh but okay. Not improving but not degrading.
GNLU - Emerging and good performance
NLIU Bhopal
MNLU Mumbai - Emerging but not satisfactory (Warning - avoid other MNLUs)
NLUO NUALS HNLU TNNLU RMLNLU etc are all in the same grade. Go wherever you like.
NLUO, TNNLU has shown significant growth over the past half decade. But that growth will die soon.
Other NLU's are bleh but gives you NLU Tag
Heard 1 invite to NLS, 2 or 3 to NUJS, 2 to NLUJ and 1 GNLU right now. Links doesn't even shortlist below that for it's VCs. But maybe I'm wrong. I know this much intel
Between Tier 3 and USLLS, choose USLLS if you want to go into litigation or judiciary. Great alum base for these areas. Tiny but growing alum presence in firms at partnership level
(Samco, CAM, KCo, AZB, Trilegal, Indus, Saraf, Dentons Link Legal)
There are poisonous and fatal snakes found in hostels in GNLU. It is not just about mosquitos.
Guy's as of July 2024, it would be very helpful if you can answer the following
1. How's life in Canada?
2. With an Indian LLB, NCA and maybe a Canadian LLM how easy is it to get jobs?
And what about PR and Immigration. Law is not a skill in demand. And PR is very difficult for lawyers unlike Civil Engineers, Nurses etc.
Are you legally forced to come back like in the US? How are lawyers getting PR?
3. What is the best route you would recommend an Indian Lawyer to come to Canada and get PR?

I am into corporate, and I think I am not the right fit for government jobs.
Again, thankyou so much.
Now wait.
Apart from that, in terms of competition, it is less compared to other states since only around 2-3k people write the exam every year and they mostly they conduct it every year. However in 2024 the vacancies were very less, only 7 seats. But this is not the general case, usually 20-30 vacancies are there minimum every year, if you prepare well, its not a difficult exam to crack.
For preparation its is very state specific, bare acts + case laws would be sufficient. However, most people who clear take coaching locally, based in Trivandrum and Kochi. Its optional based on your level of legal knowledge. Hope this helps.
The rest could get approvals easily since the likes of amity, symbi, NMIMS easily get recognition for online courses
Its not like people applied and UGC refused
10 cr is an underachievement - it could be 100 cr given its brand if NLS partnered with edtech companies like Upgrade, Jaro or LawSikho
Even Symbi earns over 100 cr from online education
RCC helped me in manyways, got to know about niche firms which in turn made me aware about niche areas. Got to know almost all of my batch + seniors due to regular calling etc for internships. And many other soft skills. But realistically what do you get for working in the moot committee? Sports committee?, it is a college committee dude if you want a salary for doing this work then maybe don't do it?
The only benefit I found was a new found confidence of talking to a wide variety of people, developing a regular practice of responding to formal emails, and the joy I got when I was finally able to get a friend a job. Those really stay with you for a long time.
Know the partners first. You can easily guess a person's behaviour and attidude through his linkedin post. then email him tailoring your style in such a way that the partner will reply you back.
Note- I have emailed a lot of partners. A LOT. not every partner is so "dayavaan" to give you an internship.
All the best!
No lawyer can ask and no client will pay 'a portion of the entire value of such transaction'. Vakeel ho, dalal nahi.
And no not all rich men are willing to change a broke girls life to the better, it's mostly for the worse. Been there done that.
