Right. We all know that you sent your best troops. We know our tanks were better.
hail Now Look Here!

Dude, cant you appreciate the success of other colleges.

I think you are one of those who is living in a dream of getting NLSIU.

Come out of that dream, be realistic.


NLS is not what it used to be. Accept this fact.

Or, other colleges have done well.

[quote name="RB"]NLS doesnt participate in small town moots that have led to NALSAR's victory. Grow up children, you have a long way to go.[/quote]


Now I know why NLS Students are famous for their arrogance.

Err... NLS won a certain Rizvi Law college moot and participated in almost all the 'small town' moots that Nalsar seems to have won. Get your facts right.

"With respect to PLACEMENTS all 3 are at par". No, they're not! NLS is still the first choice for all law firms. Outside of that shell of law firm jobs you're so enamoured by, NLS still produces a Rhodes scholar every year. We rule the debating scene in India, not only among other law colleges.

Infra: If you're measuring infrastructure by the number of buildings, and whether we have AC hostels or not, I agree with you. If you're measuring infra as resources, both academic and otherwise, NLS is much better equipped than other law colleges.

Faculty- 1 Shamnaad, 1 Sudhir does not mean the faculty is great. Just so you know, both these men are law schoolites.

Student Achievements - We've won Jessup, we've won Man Lachs. Have you?

Location- Much better than most law colleges, with the probable exception of NUJS.

There, you have your answer. Now relax, and go back to the substandard law college you're from.

[quote name="Ask NLS- the 3rd preference?"]I want to ask NLS that vis-a-vis NUJS and NALSAR, what separates the 3?

With respect to PLACEMENTS all 3 are at par.

INFRA- NALSAR leads by a long margin

FACULTY- NUJS leads by a long margin

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS- NALSAR is doing so well in moots, NUJS is doing better than NLS in moots. NUJS is more entrepreneurial than NLS).

LOCATION- NUJS is ahead by a long margin

So I want to Ask NLS: Shouldn't NLS be the number 3rd preference?[/quote]


Ask NLS will not leave you , lol :P

They are struggling ? Wow. You know about every college. First know about your college. So,Can you tell me how much package did last ranked student of NLS 2011 batch got ?

I know it will take time for you to accept this, but chill buddy there are other colleges too than NLS. CLAT used to be a stupid exam which cannot judge the excellence of a person. Mugging up plays a huge role. People at RMLNLU got placement at Amarchand, are they stupid ? No, they are better than many NLS Students. Foreign firm come to NALSAR and NUJS, why doesn;t it go to NLS alone ?


And come on man! NLS is 23 year old institution. Earlier, this was the only choice for firms, so they had to go there. But, they have more choices now.

To be very honest, in coming years not only NLS, but also NALSAR, NUJS, NLUJ and all other NLUs would have to face a tough competition.

Yes, my English Language is not good. I am not from an environment since my childhood where you are from. Yes, I am not as intelligent as you. I am not Shakespeare, and I do not want to. I am learning from my mistakes, I am in process to have a good language and I cannot learn it in a day or two. I was always scared of speaking English, and I am happy that I can speak it now, though not pure English as many people do. I read few facts that people at UK, USA do not speak correct English. My teacher told me the purpose of language is communication, as long as I am able to fulfill this purpose, I don't bother whether I am speaking correct English absolutely.

But, I can guarantee you one thing. Come after 10 years from now, I will give you a job and the amount of salary which you are expecting from any of the places. Don't worry, now you can say what you want to. I wont bother. Make fun of me or whatever you want to do. You dont know who I am, and I do not want to let you know. I know your name and the college, and that is enough for this purpose. Not because I am flying in the air, but because of some reasons which I come across because of my bad language.

I agree I am not brilliant, but I have learnt few things that if one wants to do something,then one can easily get it.

I am not an NLS Student. Yes, I wanted to. I was good at GK, Maths, Logic, Legal but not at English. I was not able to comprehend The Hindu newspaper correctly. But, now I can. I was not good at grammar, but now I have improved it. I was not good at speaking, but now I can speak it at least(Not prefect, but I am trying to do so) But I am not sad because I didn't get NLS because I can do a lot at the place where I am studying currently.


No need to comment next like you are quite frustrated and all that.

I am not frustrated. I just want to let you know that people with bad English can improve it if they try. And, I am doing that. I will try to do what I have claimed above, I may fail in my claim but I would be happy that at least I tried. That is what I learn from the place where I am studying.


Disclosure: I am an NUJS Student, and I am proud of it.

I highly doubt you are from NALSAR. good try at covering up though.
:)

aree wah! tumra angreji toh gajab hai!

padhke aasoon aa gaye ;)

But to set the record straight, SNR did give offers to Non-NLS and Non-Nalsarites this year. :) NLS students are probably the only ones placed the moment they enter college. Nalsar still has some ground to cover to match NLS in terms of reputation and academic environment.

I know who you are, sui generis.

Please. Stop fighting with these bacchas. Gold fighting with mud doesn't make the gold shine better. Right?

Right we don't do any debating. The first worlds format debate (NALSAR IV) with a world class adjudication pool never happened in Justice City, right? Last year in NLS Debate we did not come out as finalists, right?

Yes in debating we need catching up to do but don't right us off as doing nothing. Like mooting we shall soon whip your ass in debating as well.

Completely agree! Finally a sensible comment! :)

Tell that to the CLAT rank 58(or thereabouts) who misses NLS by one place.

It's sad if a college is judged purely by its recruitment, and it's incredibly stupid if mooting is high on the list of criteria to compare law colleges (ask any practising lawyer whether a moot or a viva or debate better prepared them for court, and the answer is almost never the moot)

Law colleges teach their students the law. Learning about constitutional rights is really moot (no pun intended) if you don't have free speech on your campus, as is the case with what is considered the second best law college in the country.

The reason that NLS is the best law school in the country is fairly simple. It's because it has the best student body (by virtue of 99% if CLAT toppers opting for it) coupled with the best opportunities for individual students to do what they're best at. So there's mooting, that several people do every year. But unlike NALSAR, that isn't the only, or even the primary activity there. There's debating, MUNs, conferences and seminars on various issues, a legal services clinic that does great volunteer work, research groups on every topic under the sun (so everyone can find their niche), one of India's largest rock shows, and a whole host other avenues for students to find themselves.

So, for example, it's now routine for NLS graduates to not necessarily be working in the legal domain. NLS is the only law school in the country that consultancy firms recruit from, for example. There are NLS graduates (and current students) writing fiction, opening restaurants, opening boutiques, becoming musicians, starting online businesses and what not. Just because a trumpet isn't blown about every time an NLS graduate starts a new entrepreneurial venture (unlike the fuss that followed the setting up of an LPO by an NUJS student), doesn't mean it doesn't happen. In fact, it suggests that it's more common, and that's what makes NLS (still) special, and a league ahead.

And this is also what translates into recruitment figures and more general, conventional measures of success. So while NLS may not win MPL-II (the horror!!!), it's still the most successful institution when all the activities it undertakes are considered. NLS is, for example, the only college in India to have made student representations to parliamentary committees on bills to be passed. It's the only college, to my knowledge, that has current students filing and fighting cases before authorities on behalf of the poor. It is, by a distance, the most successful Indian (and probably south asian) institution when it comes to parliamentary debate. It also has the best recruitment figures (when you look at diversity, average salaries, average offers per person, etc.).

But most importantly, walk into all three of the so-called top law schools, and you'll see the difference in terms of student quality.

And before someone gives the entire credit of all that NLS has achieved to its 20 odd years of existence, I would like to point out that every example i've mentioned is of people and events that have taken place after both NALSAR and NUJS, as well as NLU-J have been set up. NLS was better than these places in 2000, and it continues to be now. NALSAR, and especially NUJS, have done spectacularly well in the last few years at several things, but, apart from a few delusional first years, even they don't believe they're as good.

Also, the next time a kid from NUJS or NALSAR says that NLS is the third best college in the country, please reveal your CLAT rank in the year you joined college, and let us know whether you could have gotten into NLS (for those of you who are already in fifth year and therefore did not write the CLAT, this means tell us if you got into NLS. I believe that was a year in which waitlist 1 at NLS did not get in). If you are one of the 2-3 people who don't choose NLS for whatever reason, give us the same details about your average classmate. Thanks

I agree.

I remember a story about relatively junior lawyer who appeared against a highly reputed lawyer. He started with a story - A man bought a high end car and started driving home in it. On the way the car stopped. He opened the hood and found the car had no engine. The judge asked, 'You said a car which was running stopped and the driver found that the car had no engine. So how did it run so far?' The answer came with a glance at the senior lawyer - 'on reputation'

Exactly what is happening with NLS

Clearly they don't teach reading wherever you studied law. What I said was NLS has the best student quality because the best kids go to NLS AND BECAUSE IT PROVIDES THE BEST OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS (Maybe you can read things in capitals).

To the guy above: I like how you choose the one year that NALSAR set the CLAT as your example of how student quality is not best at NLS.

Second, again, please get over mooting. It isn't a judge of anything, except mooting. Also, doing well in MPL is not synonymous with doing well in mooting. As anyone will tell you, all marking systems, including MPL, are subjective. I'm sure a genuine attempt is made to not be, and I'm also sure that there's no bias, but there's still subjectivity (in choosing which moots go in what scale, in choosing how many points you get for what performance in what scale, in equating an hon-men at vis with a 100 place finish at Jessup, etc.). So get over your MPL glory because a) it doesn't even necessarily imply mooting glory and b)even if it did, that doesn't mean anything.

On entrepreneurship: 6 ventures by NUJS kids makes NLS second how exactly?

As to whether superiority is self perpetuating, i'll ask you this. When you wrote the law entrance exam, and got whatever rank you did, would you have chosen NLS if it was an option. When you filled the CLAT form, was NLS first on your list.

All that astonishes me is how, apart from some people at NALSAR and some at NUJS, everyone else seems to be "delusional" and genuinely believe that NLS is better. law firms across the world and in India, institutions of higher learning across the world, students getting into law schools, everyone who has an opinion about law colleges in India (except for the aforementioned kids at NUJS and NALSAR) seems to have a fairly unanimous view. That view is NOT that NLS is the third best law college in the country

NUJS was quarter finalists this year; not twenty years back

Very arbitrary dude!

In fact is there any moot in the world in which NLS looses and it is not arbitrary??

The round in which NLS beat NLU Delhi was held in NLS (India-funding Rounds).
Whereas the round in which NLU Delhi beat NLS was held in Indonesia.

Now tell which one is arbitrary. ;)

Please see the websites. Compare NLS faculty with the NUJS faculty. In terms of quality, the NUJS faculty is miles ahead.

Even for this year some fantastic profs are joining NUJS (See Vishwas Devaiah http://www.nujs.edu/faculty/vishwas-devaiah.html)

You're just bored, [S]. Work on the McDonalds-KFC deal.

- Your boss

Although they were not able to perform at Jessup World Rounds, but they proved how well they can do in ICC Trial.

Dude, You are comparing jessup world to ICC trial.

I have heard that the same team (whose speakers did not even figure out even in top 200 speakers) at jessup world finals won ICC trail representing NALSAR before 2 years.

That should explain the difference.

I know its hard to accept NLU-D's caliber.

Why are you crying like a girl in every article!
