    NLSIU Master's in business Law worth it
    Learning Experience: Business law for pros. Hybrid online. Top faculty. Boosts careers with legal skills. Demanding, but flexible. Also it's important to study hard because exams will be very difficult. The university is best it's top in india. Also you may need a lot more money to pursue the course because it's expensive. My learning experience personally was really great I had the best time studying there and it was fun. The syllabus part was a bit overwhelming for few months but it was great afterwards.
    Placements: It's the number one law school in india so the placements are really good although the internships are really hard but you'll really like the money they give. The highest oackage from our batch is 35lakh and the average is 14-15 lakh, the companies are the top law firms in india. Though the placements don't only depend on your degree they would look for certain things in you in the interview.
    Faculty: The faculty is great, indeed it's the best in the country but you'd need to give time to the things they teach you need to work really hard otherwise the syllabus will be a bit overwhelming like it was for me. Also they will give you time for your doubts so don't miss otherwise you'll be stuck with incomplete answers. It's business law so you need to be great with numbers and understand of the class so be attentive and learn from the masters.
    Course Support: The course is hybrid in nature you could enroll in it both via online or offline, the support system ks really good you can contact the teachers at anytime of the day, thed be really happy to sort out your problems. Also there exists a mental health support you could use that, you could use the library it's a really good one.

    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.
