Through my personal experiences, one thing is assured and that thing is, you will never regret getting admitted to the Institute of Law, Nirma University, and residing in Ahmedabad for five years. It's because of some unique features that make it preferable over many low-tier NLUs. Firstly, the culture on campus is highly professional and it helps in easily relating to work-life balances similar to corporate law firms. It is friendly and comfortable too i.e. Seniors, Professors, and Staff are very helpful and caring. Secondly, Moot and debate culture and their achievements give a glorious glimpse of competitiveness, growth, and a hardworking culture. Thirdly, the institute curriculum and timing keep you very much involved in the pedagogical studies throughout the semester. Fourthly, as a student, this institute benefits your overall development by giving you enough exposure to various fields. Sports, Literature, Drama, Moot Courts, Debates, MUNs, Researches, Dancing and Singing skills etc. It gives you ample opportunities to hone your skills. Fifthly, I believe that the highly developed city, of Ahmedabad, will transform your thought processes in many ways whereas other low-tier Nlus are located on the outskirts of the cities and have inadequate facilities and poor infrastructure and amenities which will hinder many growth variations as an adult especially in large span of five-year course for becoming future job ready.
