Questions related to NUALS
is there is any fee deductions for sc st candidates
Yes, students have reservations and also there is a deduction of fees.
Answer laterI Would like to know which is better, IFIM or Kochi Nuals, for 5 year BBA Llb course.Im looking to go for Corporate Law
Dear Aspirant,
They both don’t figure in the top 20 Law schools in India under the National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF). Now we need to use other methods of assessment. If you look at the faculty of both we find that NUALS have more experienced teachers.
Our suggestion is that you weigh this aspect and decide as Law is one area where experience counts. Since you want to specialize in Corporate Law, find out the expertise in this domain.
Good Luck
