LL.M. - Batch of 2023

Absolutely satisfied with every single thing in college.
Placements: Out of all the law schools in India, NLSIU has the best placement so yes that's something to look forward to! Almost all Tier 1 firms come to NLSIU for placements the university has its own campus recruitment committee, and most students bag PPOs. However, the options after college are not limited to this, and many students prepare for civil services exams or practice as advocates, or go for the judiciary.
Infrastructure: Hostel accommodation are as follows: Male: Ganga, cauvery, hoogly, himalaya and Brahmapur Female: Nilgiris, Vindhyas, Annapurna (mess block), gangotri, yamuna and narmada. The rooms are usually triple sharing, but double and single rooms are also available depending on the building. Annapurna mess is open to both gender and Hoogly mess for men only. Due to expansion, the hostels are alloted on need basis first. The hostel as well as the mess charges are quite affordable, with a very diverse menu.
Faculty: The course is really well designed, with the topics having real world relevance. We had Sociology 1, Economics 1, Torts and Legal Methods. Sociology was the best designed- with all the topics relevant to real word applications. Economics 1 I felt was a little rushed, We had microeconomics, but I felt like it would've been better if this was taughtover two semesters instead of one. For Torts we relied more on case lawns and a little on commentaries, with professors guiding us on how to interpret law and apply them. Legal Methods had the most applicability in real world applications, the 1st two modules we did was mostly theories and various forms of reasoning, however the third modules felt the most practical to me- it had judgment and statute interpretation and indian polity.
Other: The college life at NLS is diverse and hectic if I must add, there is always something going on at campus, so much so that you will always have to make choices between two things. It is something for everyone, be it academics, co-curriculars, music, dance, sports, just name it and NLS has it. We have various events planned throughout the semester to offer an escape from the hectic academics. We also have various committees and collectives with different objective, like the Academic Support Programme, The Literary and Debating Society, Sports Committee, CulComm, Event Management Committee, Quiz Club, NLS Feminist Alliance to name a few. NLS is one of the organises of Trilateral, a sports fest between 3 NLUs- NALSAR, NLUJ and NLSIU.

Well, of course there are courses for the same. However, an LLM through Distance mode is not recognized by the Bar Council of India. So, it would only fetch you a degree solely.

Hey, your daughter can get through NRI quota as well, as NLSIU has reserved five seats for students belonging to NRI/ NRI sponsored quota. Coming to CLAT, you can write CLAT after finishing 12th Standard. I am not sure about teaching classes in UAE.

Hi, Although they are referred to in the same terms, there are various fields in the corporate / business law that you could specialise in. For CLAT, if you're looking into getting a good seating, then start preparations at the earliest. The earlier you start, the easier it gets.
