NLS and its Messiah will sell students for land/money atp, but that's a different story
It is good to see this thinking coming out in public. State NLUs must stop this nons**se practice immediately both at UG and PG levels voluntarily before being forced by the SC.

(1) Ph.D. admission in ‘Law‘ and ‘Social Sciences, Humanities and Public Policy’ are currently open at NLSIU. See the notification at << https://www.nls.ac.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Notification-PhD.pdf >>

(2) Ph.D. admission in ‘Law’ at RPNLU will open on 1 June 2025. See the notice at << https://www.rpnlup.ac.in/rpnlup-introduces-ph-d-in-law/ >>
IMPORTANT: Please note that every NLU has its own academic calendar according to which it admits Ph.D. applications during the year. As a result, unlike in B.A.L.L.B. admissions, there is no single timeline for Ph.D. admissions in NLUs. For instance, the last date for NLU Delhi’s 2025 Ph.D. admissions has already passed. You will be well advised to regularly check the individual NLU websites for the same.
Hope this helps.
Thanks in advance!
