NUSRL Ranchi is ready to move from its present campus space of five classrooms in BIT Mesra’s Polytechnic clinic to its own 63-acres Nagri Village site after six students of the law school won a land dispute with the local village community in the Jharkhand high court on Tuesday, bringing the stalled construction of the university’s campus back on track if it manages to fill its funding gap.

Nuals Kochi and NLU Orissa climbed in the traditional college preferences of Common Law Admissions Test (CLAT) at the expense of RMLNLU Lucknow and CNLU Patna, while other CLAT preferences remained unchanged in the corrected university allotment list, with NLSIU Bangalore coming top followed by Nalsar Hyderabad, NUJS Kolkata, NLIU Bhopal and NLU Jodhpur.

The original story was wrong as Legally India had relied on wrong information on a third party site. The number of law school aspirants in India has increased by 25 per cent against last year, with 30,000 test takers registered to sit for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2012 for LLB programmes, with nearly a month of sign-ups still to go.

Jharkhand’s new National University of Study and Research in Law (NUSRL) Ranchi could become one of the best law schools in India in the next two to three years, predicted NUSRL’s dean-in-charge of faculty Alok Kumar Gupta.
