Very curious!!!!
2. This is not as "huge" as you seem to think it is. Somesh Taori, the guy who left NLSIU BALLB for Oxford BA in Jurisprudence a couple of years ago, said that CLAT preparation was useful for his LNAT preparation. So there are already some encouraging potential signs and similarities that can be built upon.
3. Therefore, the correct adjective (or descriptive phrase) might be "hugely encouraging".
4. My personal suggestions:
(a) Absolutely model the CLAT on the foreign tests mentioned. Perhaps the LNAT more than the LSAT, because the LSAT has been known to have issues in terms of disability unfriendlyness - being potentially disproportionately bad for blind test takers.
(b) Abolish the PG CLAT. Stupid exam. No credible country in the world I know of recruits to master's type degrees with a generic admission test like CLAT. Undergraduate performance and CV material is a far better indicator, IMV.

It's not an ideal situation tbh because quality time with your own child is priceless but gotta earn the big bucks especially in this mad expensive world.
I have no idea about their work culture, but you would get to brief top seniors of the country like Geeta Luthra and Siddharth Luthra on a regular basis which is a plus point if one intends to make their base in SC and DHC.
I have a reason to ask. I was interviewed for an Asst. Prof. post and I met one of my old friends (who's now at NUJS) when I visited for physical interview. They said "why did you waste money to come here, the post was already promised under the table for one of NKC's stooges, who's been around here for a while doing everything to please NKC". My 7-Panel interview went extremely well, yet the person who my friend named, was selected. Also informal yet very trust-worthy another friend's source, that I was ranked next to this selected person in the merit list.
If the resigned is one among those you named, I can think of writing an email to consider me for the position! It'll be helpful! Whether my request is considered or not. Whether my email makes sense or not, I worked hard for this post, and I believe I deserve a chance at this!
OVN was later placed on the Ness Wadia Chair something that even NLS had forgotten about. Maybe some initial batches knew abt it because it had an endowment kitty of less than 30 lacs and that came in when either NRM or NLM were heading the law school.
NUJS gets established by NRM and despite 25 yrs of existence it still doesn't have the bench strength nor does the state. When a "son of the soil" was installed, he deepened the rot.
Again the Horsemen will take over just as they did during PIB reign.
On the other hand visit JNU, DU or BHU. Not a day goes by when some or the other socio-political BS-ing is happening. The class work is negligible, but the street work is aplenty. The kids may not be book smart, but they're street smart. These kids will not make it to corporate, because even corporate knows they'd question everything in the internal structures. That's why they make better lawyers, judges and civil servants.
So, if you want to live a simple salaried life, then join NLUs, where you'll be taught to be a paper pushing corporate slave.
Or, get your hands dirty in the real nitty gritty streets by joining DU, JNU or BHU.

His grandad died 45 years before he became a lawyer. But maybe you think KKV gave his practise to Gsanks?
"What was the level of questions of legal english and maths logical one can pass or it’s difficult and needs a preparation before attempting it ?
"Please tell me the level of questions with an example if can please"
Anyone who writes English like this after having studied law at university for at least a couple of years, seemingly, would need a lot more than "a preparation [sic]". I, unfortunately, am unqualified to give guidance on this subject.
Therefore, I will quote a very old man who was a U.S. attorney I used to correspond with at one point of time - he and I belonged to an email list-serve. He had this pet phrase which he used all the time which I love, "Please advise as you like", which he'd use to end every message. Can't help but feel that that's most appropriate here.

Excuse my social media hoping. Doom scrolling has taken a toll on me.
You should pursue LLM ASAP.
Is C&M hiring from 2026 batch?

anyways, i have a few questions to put forward:
1. what are the necessary qualifications? im aware of the need to have an LLM but is a PhD required aswell?
2. is the job market super saturated? like for example, if we take the example of STEM fields, most of the people who pursue their PG in pure sciences (ie. physics/chem/bio/math) followed by a PhD find it super tough to bag an academic position, inspite of being meritorious af... due to extreme saturation. is this persistent in the academic domain of law aswell? given, one is a passionate student with good grades, a decent number of publications and a zeal for teaching and learning.
3. what would be the average payscale?
thats all! thank you very much. please help me out!
Do you really think NLS folks, esp the initial batches will ever give real stories if what went down when the Gods were helming it? How Gods played politics among themselves and in student affairs and how that impacted individual fortunes? Or how wards of certain big honchos were allowed to get away with terrible acts?
The same goes for folks from NALSAR, NUJS, NLUD, HNLU and the list cab go on.
Okay let's do an experiment. Why don't we create an archive of real stuff from both past and future in this thread? The hidden and hushed up accounts. Needn't always be the rotten ones. But don't glam up or whitewash.
For example, what caused NRM to be toppled by NLM and others at NLS? How did MoGo come and then get forced out? The Ahluwalia affair? VB and Temple? SKY invasion?
Was it all peaches and cream at NALSAR during FM? Is he really what his acolytes suggest? Why was he denied a third term and how? Just age? How was the inquiry against VS hushed up and Taus oversized role?
Tau politics at NLUD and its beneficial effects. Was he really a benign dictator? How did certain research centres flourish and get a free hand?
The Registrar at NUJS who took out over a crore from univ to purchase a fancy condo but was given an easy way out due to political connections. How Reds allowed a saffron VC and later the Greens did it too? Tales of financial chicanery at NUJS and how inquiries were killed off by successive VCs. Sexual trade offs between faculty and students, including PhD candidates. SJA (in)actions
The degree scam at NLIU Bhopal and how that shocking inquiry was hushed up by supposed saviour VC from NLS. The shenanigans of SS or his predecessors/successors and the whitewashed lives they lead despite eviction. The journey of GSB from here to NLUD.
How the critical dissent of a God was cleaned up in the GNLU review report that slammed Bimpa. How that God had earlier got his friend to accomodate a certain corrupt Registrar from NUJS? Reported sexual abuse hushed up despite HC intervention.
The alleged ▮▮▮ reign of of PJ at RGNUL and tacit support from powerful members of the Bench and VCs like FM. Student protests silenced and hollowed out
Alleged serious sexual abuse on campus but hushed up by successive VCs. The tortuous eviction of ▮▮▮ despite evidence. The hidden support of other NLU students in that eviction.
Trial has been a good adaptation of the Good Wife although K remains screechy. Crim J on Hotstar has been good thus far.
Dark humour like Murder Mindfully, a German series on NF was wicked.
I have a good profile, did not waste time at law school, and yet I am in this position. Have been unemployed for 6 months now. I am not even getting internships to at least get a leg in the door, everyone's ghosted me. Smaller boutique firms are also not responding. And the thought of having to do a job paying nothing at a Tier 999 (though even that's not panning out for me lol) is messing it all even more for me.
