NLU Odisha is a decent choice for 3 year LLB degree programme.

However I believe the following options to be superior if you get selected or afford:

1. NLS Bangalore

2. Jindal Global Law School

3. IIT Kharagpur (if you are BTech and apply for LLB in IPR)

4. DU Law Faculty

5. GLC Mumbai

Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore are better cities for study and practice of law. IIT Kharagpur is a great campus to pursue a degree programme.

Best wishes.

Go for DU.

NLUO is not worth 2.5 LPA fees.

Level of faculty will be kind of same with more academic rigour at NLUO. Study environment is same at both places, if you want to study you will study, and if you want to smoke up all day, you will do that. So study factor depends on you.

Placement wise there is no history of placements for 3-year LLB in NLUO as their first batch will graduate in 2026, but DU has history.

DU will cost you less and you can intern easily in Delhi. Because in NLUO too, your placement will depend on for how long and where have you interned.

Had it been a 5-year course, my suggestion would have been completely opposite.

you're either overthinking or are a troll. No one in law school does anything in their last year. People are either worried and working upon getting placed, or if they're done with, are exploring alternate career prospects or simply chilling. You can still write and publish still, but competitions? who does a moot 6 months before graduating law school?

This is the same case with nlu corporate journals too. Most the articles I read provided little to no analysis of the topic. I submitted an article to nlu Bhopal and it got rejected bc the previous law was not covered while my article talked strictly on the current scenario. What they wanted was covered by numerous journals, what is the point in repeating thats already been covered. My article provided an analysis which no other article did. Meanwhile I went through their page and an nlu student had done what they were looking for which was rephrasing from previously published articles and adding fancy words with no actual thinking of the matter or a new perspective.

Newsflash. No one in their right mind would choose to be a professor at Oxford over NUS unless they had a ton of family money. Oxford salaries are extremely low. It may make sense for Indians because no university here has comparative prestige but why would anyone from Singapore bother. This is colonial mentality again where you are assuming that everything white and British must be superior.

Indians do integrate better in Western systems because of English and also common law. But the Chinese universities are much more international and the economies of all the countries you name are much more interesting to people from around the world.

You cannot be taken seriously if you think NUS doesn't have alumni as Profs all over the world. Moreover, while the point about the average English proficiency in Japan/China is true, it's only true for the 'average' populace and not top legal minds, who no doubt have to consume a lot of scholarly literature (in English). It's also true that people from there are not as desperate to move abroad as our folks are (and for good reason), so a comparison by the numbers makes no sense anyway.

I am sure your neighbourhood chai wala also says he is better than Amartya Sen because Sen can't carry as much chai at one time. India is far behind Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and parts of China in legal ed. Foreign scholars sometimes go to Jindal if they are interested in India specifically but otherwise they apply to all the other countries I named above and never to NLS. That is the benchmark not some dumb moots. And if you want to hear about legal scholars, read more. Everyone doesn't have American or British marketing strategies.

For a quick minute I was wondering if you were being trite, but eh, you're not completely wrong. I'm not spending all my time overwhelming myself despite the fact that I'll have to begin my LLM in a month. Apart from that, as far as my research goes, I just don't want to ever be in a state of mind where I'm so far up my posterior (I promise, I'm talking about myself only) that I'd begin to look down upon any decent sources just because they are of a certain nature - [Re: Legally India] {I don't see why this is an unworthy place to procure some opinion/insight from}.

Ooh, the LLM admission procedures are actually archaic, patently weird and supremely frustrating (I'm trying to muster up the most amount of objectivity that I can here). Anyway, I appreciate the comment. Thank you and take it easy.

Dont listen to the people here, they are all classists who prize themselves severely on the ranks of their law school. Both GNLU and NLS are premier institutions and placements wise, all T-1 NLUs end up in the same corporate jobs that is in either of the Tier-1 companies. So, there isnt any specific need to challenge yourself financially over something that is not going to make that great of a difference in the long run. Just focus on maintaining a higher batch rank, if you want corporate. Else, studying and engaging well enough with the courses is also plenty.

I was a medical student preparing for next and gave clat with 0 preparation getting a ridiculous rank of 7550 I cannot take a drop and now I am stuck between ipu vips or nlu like hpnlu and nlut I don’t know what to choose as read in other threads it seems both the choices are a waste for my life ahead I have intentions of only working a corp job and they both seem to do bad in it any guidance is much appreciated thank you

Atleast from 2018 to 2023 (Past 5 years)

Magistrate/CJ and even DJ Hiring is overrepresented by women. In states like Goa, Keral, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Telengana North East. When you look at Subordinate Judiciary (Trial Court Level) almost 75% of all judicial officer recruits are women.

In many states almost 55% of total judicial officers are women. And almost 75% of new judicial officers are women.

This is a positive news when it comes to gender representation. And Infact women are overrepresented in Subordinate court levels.

Trial Court hiring is done through competetive exams and less through personal contacts and nepotism.

Now let's come to Supreme Court or High Court levels,

Most CJI's in the past are pro women hiring (including Chandrachud)

And unlike Trial Court levels. High Court and Supreme Court hiring is done directly. Judges pick judges. And nepotism, favoritism and cronyism is prevelant.

If CJI or State CJ wants they can definitely hire more women.

But in the past 5 years. There has been no significant change in HC or SC judge hiring.

OVERALL only less than 8% HC SC judges are women while 45% of Subordinate judges are women.

And in many states over 75% new hires in Subordinate Judiciary are women. Where only 20% of new hires in HC or SC levels are women.

Why is it skewed like this?

NOTE - Data may not be accurate. But the range is correct.

This is the opposite of burnout, sister. Suggestions for keeping mind sharp: open the NY Review of Books site and read some of the essays there, they also have good recommendations for recent books. Also play some intellectually stimulating games like Wordle, Scrabble, Sudoku etc daily.

Hi, there is quite a detailed discussion of a history of sexual harassment at NALSAR in this thread: https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/299099-elections-happening-in-4-states-with-major-nlus-including-nalsar-an-analysis-of-major-concerns.

Can seniors please shed light on how the on-ground reality is? Is it genuinely this omnipresent? Please help with an honest picture of the university so we know what we are walking into.
