Mr Kian Times of India's Ahmedabad supplement is misquoting for your placement report and saying that GNLU is ranked third. But you yourself said it is not a ranking. Kindly clarify because such news is appearing before CLAT.

why is he doing this to himself? Atleast at SAM he could have dreamt of equity. Here he will only get peanuts!

Mass exodus in the team again.sorry state of affairs, that no one can work in that team longer than 2-3 years.

Thats the same with the IP team at Luthra. All laterals leave max by 2 years.

Four out of sixteen is not an exodus. But that said out of the only two old timers in the team,one is leaving. So yes at some level there is an issue.
