Hello there,

Vivekanand Institute of professional studies(VIPS) is a better option than National law university.

Well IP University is a prestigious and well established University.

The Major problem with DNLU is that it is the most recent college, no one knows what the faculty will be like, how will the administration work.  Again if you are someone who expects 100% corporate placement after 5 years, then may be DNLU might not be a good option.

GOOD LUCK!!!

There are no chances of getting NLU Jabalpur in vacancy with this rank because they do not consider any rank below 2800 for a general category candidate. You have some chances of getting into NLU Sonepat with this rank of yours but in my opinion you should not take admission in such a lower ranked NLU. First of all it will be its first batch so you cannot predict how good it will be in future.Taking admission in such a college is a risk. Last year NLU Jabalpur also started its first batch and at present it comes under lower ranked NLUs. Moreover the biggest problem with NLU Sonepat is its location. If you just want to run after the tag then only go for it otherwise I would suggest you either join a private college(which would be much better than any such NLU) or you should take a drop and aim for a tier 1 or tier 2 NLU. I dont think so that it will be a sensible decision to take admission in such a lower ranked NLU because there will be no seniors to guide you and after five years you will face many problems. It is not even having its own campus, its under construction so you can predict how good it will be to take admission in such a college. Apart from this Harayana isn't a hub for law firms. In India there are three hubs for law firms- Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. So try to take admission in a good private college(like Law College Dehradun, UPES, ICFAI, Llyod Law college, Amity, IMS Unison) or you should take a drop to aim for a good NLU. All the best!

Hello,

Congratulations on clearing CLAT! The CLAT cutoffs for the first 3 rounds have been released.Regfarding the vacant seat scenario it varies with respect to the number of candidates woh have taken admission in the first 3 rounds.Now there are transfers and alos change of colleges.

Based upon the rank and marks thgat you have scored it is not quite possible for you to get admission in the NLUs through vacant seats.Now I cannot totally assure you on that since if there are many vacant seats left then you may have some chances,though they are minimal.Now based on your domicile,NLU Bhopal has 65 seats available for admission by All India Category.

You have better chances in the private colleges accepting scores for CLAT 2019.

Thank you.

Dear candidate,

A small piece of advice for CLAT aspirants: Please do NOT join the lower ranked NLUs (anything after GNLU/HNLU).

It’s better to join a good law college in Delhi or Mumbai (or even Bangalore and Pune) than study in the lower ranked NLUs.

The reason is simple and two-fold.

One, in a city like Delhi or Mumbai you’d have something good (a conference, workshop, or a talk, etc.) happening nearly every weekend. Attending these would help you improve your knowledge/skills, develop your overall personality/self, and build your contacts.

Also, because you’d have a good number of quality organizations (NGOs, law firms, lawyer offices, etc.) based in these cities, you can easily opt for after-college hours internships which will again build your skills/knowledge and your contacts.

The above will translate into more avenues for all-round development and gaining ’employ-ability mileage’ (skills, experiences, networking, etc.)

The situation at the bottom NLUs is bad on nearly all fronts (except for the fact that your peer group will be smart and hard-working).

The situation is bad specifically on 2 fronts:

1. The placements at ALL lower ranked NLUs have been dismal throughout the years. Please check the stats on LegallyIndia and BarandBench and do your independent research.

2. Faculty (generally speaking) is pathetic across the colleges (including in top NLUs with an exception of NLU Delhi).

A lot of people have argued “Give these colleges time. Even NLSIU took time to build“. However, this argument has been going for way too long with no visible sign of things improving.

Sadly, no new NLU (with the exception of NLU Delhi) has shown even a glimmer of hope.

Sorry for being pessimistic here. But as I’ve said, there’s an alternative.

You might, yet again, assert: “No. NLUx will do well because of the NLU tag“. Well, it might. But if you have to answer “Will it do well?” by analyzing the NLU history and making an educated guess about its future, the answer will be a clear NO.

Hope the answer is helpful.

All the best.

Hey Saurabh Tiwari!

You might try for NLU SONIPAT. Because in the case of NLU JABALPUR chances are rather bleak. Also please mention if you're from delhi or not for IP UNIVERSITY. 

ALL THE BEST!

Hi Gunjan! 

Greetings !

This is a very tough question right now. I must say it’s a gamble. The infrastructure is being developed. There is no information of permanent faculties. Fee Structure is also unknown. It has started taking admission from this year only i.e no senior to guide you or no alumni base. Libraries which are very important part of any nlu is missing too. But hey it has locational advantage of being in NCR region.Getting internships and workshops will be easy.And no nlu was great from its first day. Every reputed nlu is the result of rigorous work done by both students and staffs.If you are not getting any other good colleges and you don’t want to take a drop you can go there. You’ll have an nlu tag and if you both (you and university) will work hard both of you will come out winning.

Thank you and good luck. 

Hello Gunjan, please check out the following link for detailed info on Vips, delhi and NLU TN:

NLU tamil nadu at Tiruchirapalli is doing much better than NLU sonipat in terms of course staructure, department, infrastructure, future prospects etc however both are relatively very new institutes and quite lower rank NLUs, but all NLUs although have a certain brand image in India for Law, VIPS on the othe hand fares much better than them both, and also being a relatively older institute, has somewhat managed to develop firm on the grounds of repute.

So I would have gone for NLU TN because of it being an excelling NLU and then comes VIPS which obviously has excellent campus, departments and nfrastructure along with future prospects too, but is privately owned if that may be a deciding factor for it. But my personal opinion afterall
