The University campus is verdant and vividly colorful in spring, at such times it feels more like a vacation home than a college, to be honest. The quality of education, and faculty however, leave much to be desired. Critical thinking is not encouraged. The administration is wrought with bureaucratic red tape. Placements are below par.

Before I start about the college, I want the budding lawyers reading this to know and to first decide what you really want from the college. Naturally, the focus of many will be on the placements and the ‘packages’ that one is offered after the completion of five ‘long’ years. It might also be that some will be searching for freedom that an institution offers. Some might even be interested in other directions such as civil services, academics and writing because law as a profession doesn’t restrict you to a single field. Also, some might haven’t yet decided and are still searching (those are the best kind). Then are the classic lawyers; driven on thirst for knowledge and working of the courts, preferring litigation. To all of the above I want to say that do think on your dreams before moving on and don’t stagnate; laziness is the worst enemy of a lawyer and it has in its power all the tools to bring you down the ladder. Moving on, RMLNLU has in its power to give you everything mentioned above. Some might even prefer sports or modelling as a profession after entering a law college and RMLNLU has in its power to give you even that, obviously it isn’t a wand that you would flick and all your dreams would come true( what most/everyone thinks about ‘top’ law colleges). It requires you in exchange of your dreams; your efforts, hard work and consistency. It requires all of that which should be in you to get to your dream. Therefore, when you look for a Law college or in a Law college, make a road map of what you really want, let me say that again: What YOU really want! Let’s talk about RMLNLU now. RMLNLU offers one of the best infrastructures among the NLU’s boasting of Centrally Air Conditioned Administrative Block, Academic Block, Well Equipped Library, Moot Court Hall, 3500 Capacity Auditorium and A Conference Hall. Campus wide internet facilities, 24 hour power back up, separate, comfortable hostels for boys and girls (which are not air conditioned), Residential facilities for over 150 faculty members and staff. In the sports department, we have an Olympic-size swimming pool, lawn tennis court, basketball court, football ground, an indoor sports complex offering badminton court, table tennis, gymnasium. The university offers a built in hospital and medical staff providing 24 hours ambulance service. Then we have the canteen and shops that provide with almost everything a student requires in day to day life. There is a separate bank branch in the college itself too. Student run Committees are the lifelines of RMLNLU. The college has a total of 6 student run Committees including The Journal Committee, The Moot Court Committee, The Cultural Committee (TEHZEEB), The Legal Aid Committee, The Debate and Discussion Committee, The Internship and Placement Committee and The Sports Committee. Every committee has its annual flagship event in which each of them showcase the best which is EOS for the Journal Committee, named after the Greek Goddess of dawn, SCC Online International Media Law Court Competition for The Moot Court Committee, OHR for The Cultural Committee, RML National Mediation Competition for The Legal Aid Committee, RML Parliamentary Debate for The Debate and Discussion Committee, MANTHAN for The Internship and Placement Committee and AAVAHAN for The Sports Committee. The thing that sets apart RMLNLU from other NLU’s is the liberty it has to offer which is ample for a student. It can make you if you are independent or break you if you are dependent. The ‘no boundations’ and unrestricted environment is loved by one and all. The campus is peaceful, lush and green although it doesn’t cover areas as large as the IIT’s and IIM’s do but still it’s more than enough for a peaceful environment. Lecture hours range start from 10:00 am to 3 or 4:00 pm with lunch break in between, the faculty is quite good and some are very well endowed with knowledge and the art of teaching, I won’t lie and tell you that the staff is amazingly good and the best I have witnessed, it has its own problems which I believe every NLU does. The problems which exist for the faculty are torn down or sorted by the students which are the backbone of this institute as everything or most of the things are student run. Now, let’s come to the Debating and Mooting Culture of RMLNLU. The two committees involved are The Debate and Discussion Committee and The Moot Court Committee. People get a chance to go to moots and debates by showcasing their strengths in the Summer Grand Intra and the Winter Grand Intra for both moots and debates. The travel fee and the attendance missed are both compensated by the college when sending students for moots and debates. The debating and mooting culture isn’t certainly the best you’ll see in a NLU but it’s enough for you to excel if one has the will. After reading all that I have written above, one might wonder is it all just paper talk or do we really have some achievements to our name, hence the following. Recent debating achievements: Winners, D.R. Memorial British Parliamentary Debate, 2017 organized by PCTE Ludhiana. Recent mooting achievements: Winners, 7th edition of Leiden Sarin’s International Air Law Moot Court Competition, 2016. Sports: Winner at Virudhaka 2016, NLIU, Bhopal. I hope I wasn’t biased. Thank you.

The college infrastructure and the resources are really good. The college has a lot of committees run by students which organise activities on a year round basis and give the students exposure and experience of different things. the student body is very active. The library is brilliant and one can see most students studying there. This college has a mixed bag of students. The faculty is not so good but one learns on its own. Some of the teachers are very helpful and dedicated. The college offers freedom and time to students to decide what they want to do and pursue that by working towards the same.

It has the best infrastructure when we compare it with other NLUs. It has Olympic size swimming pool, fully equipped gym, basketball court, long tennis court, games room, fully air-conditioned classrooms and one of the most resourceful liabrary one could have ever asked for.

The moot court committee pay for our national and international moot expenses. Debsoc sessions are organised for enhancing debating culture in college. RMLNLU also has locality benefit as ample of shops, grocery store, pheonix mall is situated nearby, which makes it convenient on students part. If we will talk about sports then RMLNLU​ has all the necessities any sportsman will look for. It organised intra and inter sports events every year with complete success when it comes to participation. Last year we went to around 3 sports fests of NLUs and won medals in most of the events. It only has two semesters therefore it's the best place for those who are preparing for Judiciary or civils, as they get ample of time to prepare themselves with the help of high tech liabrary.

This college has the best world class infrastructure in comparison to other NLUs. The Olympic size swimming pool, Lawn tennis availability, football ground, gym, Air conditioned campus with 24x7 high-speed wifi connectivity up to 35 Mbps and most importantly the Library is just awesome. Also, various seminars hosting foreign delegates and one to one interaction with law firm personnel gives corporate exposure. The opportunity provided by this college to choose between the ways of living a college life is the most applaudable characteristic of this college. Both, PPOs and on campus placements are affordable from this college. Separate rooms for each individual and 24x7 assistance from the guards and charges along with an inclusive mess with unlimited food bewilders me the most. Professors are at their best. Some of them are transferred from reputed NLUs like NUJS and NLS to our University. The unity in every batch and the student crowd during tests and events is amazing. It is affordable because of its cheapest fee charges in comparison to other NLUs.

Going to RMLNLU has been one of the best choices I could have made. Here's why… Academics is awesome. Of course, there are some core classes that are not fun to take but overall the courses are at least interesting and often the amount of work required is appropriate. Plus, once graduated, you have one of the most valuable degrees in the nation (A degree from a National Law University). For whatever way you choose, RMLNLU is likely to provide the right level of challenging and interesting work. For the more boring classes, you sometimes just have to tough it out for the semester. In academics the college has been performing significantly, it has managed to win some fierce moot court competitions and debates and etc. The academic atmosphere has really helped students to excel. Social life is amazing, I joined one of the bigger fraternities on campus freshman year so that certainly helped (I would recommend rushing for everyone as there is a fit for every type at RMLNLU). Anyways, I often went out 4 nights a week (and have maintained a 8.0 CGPA thus far) and always had a great time. The campus isn't always amazing at night. The campus location is great with easily accessible markets and shopping complex and also not to forget the appetising delicacies of Lucknow, the campus is also equipped with a gym, swimming and other sports facilities which makes it really happening to be at this Law University. The only thing lacking is a good placement, even though many students manage to get placed in a good firm or a company but campus selection needs an improvement. Overall, Great academics, awesome social life, prioritize and you will be able to partake and succeed in the 3 most important aspects of college: social life, academics, and sleep. All three are possible I promise! If you value your education but still like to go out often, RMLNLU will not let you down

Being a National Law Univeristy, it has all the perks attached to it. RMLNLU has the best infrastructure and library facility as compared to any other NLU's. Not a big thing on college recruitments but the students from here have landed jobs in top places in every sector through their efforts. A very competitive crowd with all the required attributes like mooters, debaters, sportsmen etc who have won laurels not only at national but also at International Level. To state, there were 13 selections in up-pcsj from RMLNLU. This is a place where you can totally enjoy your life along with studies as there is ample to explore each and every option available. There have been policy changes by the administration time to time which come as a new thing for every student. In all administration is not a friend of students and there is always a tussle between them. The faculty at RMLNLU is amazing. One can meet some really amazing teachers here and learn a lot of things. But along with some really good ones it also has a share of some bad ones. The hostel life is the best thing here. The experiences here are unparalleled. Nothing quite like the RMLNLU hostels. You laugh, you cry and you have the best time of your life. I believe that I will not be wrong in saying that it is one of the best universities even with problems with administration and faculty. But as the saying yang depicts, there is some bad in all good also.

Excellent ROI and faculty at my institute. Many people don't know about the college because of less marketing. The only thing college lacks is the On-campus hostel experience. Most of the students are residing in the nearby area due to no hostel facilities. ROI of this college is very good for which one can prefer this college to other colleges present in the same league. Faculties are highly experienced. One can get good industry exposure by working in so many projects offered to the students

Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University or RMLNLU as it is popularly called, is located in the South-West part of the Lucknow city, so can be said to be very well within the city limits and is well connected. Infrastructure of RML can very well argued to be one of the best among the NLUs and other universities and is worth a sight, the university boasts one of the best moot court halls, library is rich and well stuffed, other things include a gym, multipurpose halls, a swimming pool, a lawn tennis court among others. Committees, Activities, and Exposure: The university has functional committees which from time to time organise various activities and participation from the student community is overwhelming. There are several newly some newly formed societies which hold regular discussions and meets, which include Poetry Club, Debating Society among others which are chiefly related to law. Participation in National/International events is encouraged and promoted, recently a team from RML won Leiden Sarin’s International Air Law Moot Court Competition 2016. Academics: The evaluation at the end of the semester includes a written exam (70 marks) and the project presentation and class performance (30 marks). The faculty has a generally good level with some teachers studying from whom might be very well argued to be a lifetime experience (special mention to Criminal Law). The placements are decent from the university, taking into consideration that only a few batches have passed. People are working with several reputed firms and under several lawyers. The students also focused on Civil Services and Judiciary Examinations, recently around 10 people made it to U.P. PCS-J. The best thing which I find about RML is that it provides ample time and resources for a person to pursue his interest, be it related to law or sports or something other. Teachers and seniors mostly are co-operative and ready to help.

The environment in our college is stimulating and diverse with people excelling not only in fields of core law but also in allied areas. Compared to the other NLUs, our college is one of the least pricey ones, which makes it accessible to a greater section of the society. The infrastructure is beyond par, expases over 42 acres.The hostels are comfortable, provides everything a student can ask for. Its a home away from home.Our college aspires to empower students with the quality legal knowledge and the faculty employed is very well capable of doing so. We have got a number of mooting and debating achievements to our credit. The placement scenario is decent, though we are picking up pace, with our placement committee working hard to ensure that the students get ample opportunity.We have got a strong alumni base, not only at top law firms but also in the judicial services, PSUs, top national and international universities. The student community shares bonhomie. Each student has come here with different dreams and RMLNLU provides freedom and opportunity to pursue them, at one's own pace.There is a cultural diffusion since we have students from all parts of the country. We have many cultural and sports societies which help in stress busting coupled with holistic development.

RMLNLU is one of the fastest growing institutes in the league of the younger NLU’s. Being situated in the state which has itself produced the law stalwarts it is the institution which focuses on the industry based education. Here, the nuance of the litigation is taken very keenly by the students and experts from the field of law visit the institute regularly. The On-campus hostel proves to be a home away from home to students of the RMLNLU. Although the Food of the hostel is sometimes is a little bit problematic but that is how things work outside the home. Being, the strict at rules is one problem faced by students here at RMLNLU but it has its own pros and cons as these rules are established for the good of the students. There is mix review of the students about the affordability as the fees of University is a little bit overpriced but then the infrastructure which they provide is one of the best among the league be it the library or be it the moot court halls. There is a great atmosphere for the overall development of the students at RMLNLU as they provide the sports facilities to students and there are committees which undertook all development for overall development of the student. Also, the curriculum is something which not much tight or rigid for student nor so easy. If you are well aware of what you want then RMLNLU provides you the ample of time to prepare for that and provides the opportunity to do the internship which is taken keenly at this institute. Summarising the Institute gives a perfect match of the rules and independence choice is yours choose wisely!!

Personally, I feel the college is capable of providing a very good platform for one to perform well. The library is well equipped, the hostels are comfortable, classrooms are at par with any modern day infrastructure. Sports infra of the university, which is often boasted about, includes an Olympic size swimming pool, gym, basketball, tennis and other courts and fields. Student committees and bodies such for placement and internship, journal, cultural, debate and discussion amongst others are very active and hard working committees. Participation in all kinds of events is encouraged and promoted. As far as internships and placements are concerned, they are not in the best shape possible as it is relatively a new NLU but lot of efforts are put and stats are likely to improve each year. However, the areas where the university needs to work harder, are that of faculty and administration. There are excellent and inspiring professors but there's a need to exponentially increase their number. Administration of college is slow, layered and tapered. Sometimes it's a task to work even simplest of things through the admin. And lastly, the university is unfortunately highly biased against female students with respect to hostel timings and such things. But overall the experience is good and I would definitely recommend this university.

College has to offer arguably the best infrastructure amongst all law schools across the country. As to the faculty and placements, substantive improvements can be made. Extra-curricular activities are really good; and the hostel life is quite relaxed and comfortable.

For those who want to avail the best of facilities at lowest of prices then RML must be your choice. One of the most appropriately located university among all NLU's, providing easy access to malls and all other basic and entertainment facilities. Large hostel rooms with no double occupancy and 24x7 wifi, water, electricity. One of the most well equipped and spacious library for those who really want to make use of it and being an icing on the cake it's also fully Air Conditioned. The college has its own Olympic size functional swimming pool, tennis court, volley court, badminton court and Jim. The faculty is similar to all other NLU's i.e. some are exceptionally well, others are just for the sake of teaching, however, the balance tends to shift towards the former. If you really want to enjoy a peaceful college life with no late night classes and an amazing place to stroll around and study then opt for this college. You won't find anything like dis.

The campus and infrastructure and extremely beautiful. The class timings are flexible and are not long and boring. The Library of the college provides access to all the good databases and the availibiity of books is sufficient enough. The exposure to various competitions like Moot Court Competitons and Debates has seen a steady growth and our college students have earned laurels for the university at national and international levels. The interaction amongst the student body and faculty members is quite healthy. There are a number of Competitions organised by the different committees of the university to encourage talents in cultural activities and sports as well. The relationship between the Seniors and Juniors of the university is something to admire. All in all my university is a five-year package of fun and enlightenment and the enviroment provides a path of learning and growth.

Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University stands tall among the law universities of India. A blend of students from all over the country, this university provides with the opportunities ranging from cultural activities to availability of online access to databases and e-books. The faculty has a scope of improvement, but, nevertheless, the students have been bringing laurels to the university nationally as well as internationally.

It offers wonderful sports facilities for basketball, tennis, volleyball, swimming, badminton, football and cricket. Classrooms are spacious and well-lit. There are just enough classes scheduled for the day which leaves plenty of time for one to pursue things apart from academics so you can never complain that you don't have enough time for yourself. Hostels are clean and the complaints are heard on a regular basis. Teachers are responsive to your queries and help you out even if you individually need some academic help. Though, they could be more friendly. There are a lot of students who toil throughout the year and their hard work is well-rewarded. Some are totally into academics, some wish to give all their time and attention to extra-curricular and sports, while there is always a group of them that wants to maybe while away all their time. The annual fee is also the lowest among all the NLUs and is affordable and there are ample scholarships available too. There is a need for more interactive guest lectures, though. Also, there can be more efforts on the part of the administration to coordinate with the industry to facilitate better campus placements

The Infrastructure is among the best with facilities like Olympic sized swimming pool, Lawn tennis, badminton, basketball and volleyball courts, a football field and a gym. The academic block and the library are centrally air-conditioned. We have a state of the art moot court hall and a seminar hall. The campus is very aesthetic. College life is happening and you get a lot of opportunities and time to make the best of your life or (as in most cases) waste it away. The placement committee works hard but the college administration is not very keen on corporate placements instead pursuing and preparing for competitive exams like the Judiciary and Civil Services are encouraged and the college has a good record in this as well. Hostels are good and the food is decent. The fee is very subsidized and scholarships are also provided to the needy.

Our college has one of the best infrastructures among all the NLUs. From comfortable hostel rooms to a formidable moot court hall, RMLNLU is a home away from home. It has everything which a law student needs and more. In spite of a strong alumni base and excellent mooting culture, more guest lectures from legal practitioners would go a long way in augmenting the industry exposure. Equal parts of an intellectually stimulating atmosphere and the freedom to pursue one's passion characterize our experience. However, a formal day zero system would ensure a higher placement. With respect to the faculty, while we do have some amazing professors, most of them are wanting in various aspects. This could also be because professors are usually given subjects that are not their forte. As far as the students are concerned, we have a very diverse demographic not only with respect to the regions that they belong to but also in their career choices and interests. The annual fees of our college are among the lowest in all the NLUs which makes it very affordable. Also considering that Lucknow is a budget city makes it all the more student friendly.

Infrastructure is excellent and one couldn't ask for more. Being a government university that too in Uttar Pradesh, it has drawbacks in the form of extreme interference on the part of the administration and ensuing rampant corruption. Due to the reservation policy coupled with nepotism, there is more than the fair number of incompetent teachers but there are some good finds in the faculty too though they are few and far between. Fests are held but are not of a decent level again thanks to the administration. The admission is via a national competitive exam so we do boast of brains amongst the students through the alumni are illustrious due to their own merit, perseverance and hard work - not much of their success can be attributed to the university. The placement cell does the minimum. 4 hours of classes daily so plenty of free time which can be a boon or a bane depending on the person. Basically, if you are a student here, you are all on your own and this may prove to be your nemesis if you aren't careful. You do get an NLUite tag and that means something.

The College life is fun, you get enough time to study but its not all dull. The infrastructure is very good, needs to upgrade on its faculty and maybe work on getting students more job options. The scenario has bettered by a good margin in the past few years. It is a young college, 7 years since it was established so it should be given some time to properly establish itself.
