Academically Rigourous but very demanding

Academics

NLS is famous for its academic rigour. You will find some of the best professors of law teaching in this university. There is an emphasis on the inter-disciplinary aspect of the course and hence the BA part of the BA LLB course is taken rather seriously. However, academics can get quite competitive and there is immense pressure to score well and have a good GPA.
