BCI writes to state governments (their respective Departments of Education) about the fall in the quality of legal education. It urges state governments to be very prudent in approving new law colleges and their affiliation. As expected, the note is only for the state governments and state universities. It covers state NLUs that are mushrooming now. It excludes national universities that are INIs (obviously).
although I do not see eye to eye with BCI on most of the issues, I cannot disagree on the point that there are indeed too many law schools around
Too many law colleges?

Just check out how many engineering and MBA colleges are there.
Just check how many good employment opportunities are there for engineering and MBA students. For the number of law students, there are not enough good firms.
No, you ignoramus. The education in NLUs isn't governed by the state government. All NLUs have got Executive Councils and Academic Councils, which contain representatives from the state, Centre, Bar, Bench, BCI and UGC. If anything, BCI is the party to be blamed for the fall of education standards, since it is the one that provides accreditation to any university providing undergraduate legal education. It is also supposed to periodically visit these places and it collects fees for that. While never doing its job. Any body headed by the likes of Manan Mishra does not have any locus or ability to discuss quality of legal education. As for your INIs, nobody other than you speaks about them, because they never offered quality legal education to begin with, your sad PR notwithstanding.
bci should be removed from looking into legal education. Firstly, they are overburdened with the all other function of advocates and other affairs and they do even specialized have members having wide experience in legal academia. Secondly, bci cannot be properly look after the affairs of advocates. So there is a need that specialized legal education be created
