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.

A good college can get you to places even Oxford. Plenty of opportunities to go.
Placements: Around 60% of people are placed. The highest package is up to 50 LPA, while the lowest is 6 LPA. The top companies recruiting are law firms like SAM, CAM, AZB, Trilegal, etc. Around 50–60% of students get internships at good places because the name of the institution is enough for the impression most of the time. The top roles include legal researcher, law firm partner, and practicing lawyer.
Infrastructure: There are enough facilities like free Wi-Fi, good quality classrooms, a state-of-the-art library, and the campus also has cafes and stuff as well. Overall, the campus is a pretty place. The quality of the food in the mess is average. The university does have facilities for sports and its own gym. They also conduct tournaments within the campus.
Faculty: Teachers are nice. They are qualified and have a lot of experience in dealing with students. I'd say the teaching quality is good. The trimester system of this college is hectic and makes students for real-life challenges. The exams are difficult to crack, but once you're in, it gets easier. The passing percentage is 50 overall and 40 for each subject.
Other: I chose this course because this course saves a year by giving the degree in 5 years (BA + LLB). The things I’d wish for are a better mess, a less hectic environment, and less selfish people. The university does provide scholarships for underprivileged students, and it is also closer to the metro. The crowd here is intelligent, and the university, at some level, caters to extracurricular activities.

NLSIU- Best Law College in INDIA
Placements: The placements offered by NLSIU are arguably the best in the country for any Law College. Corporate law firms like Amarchand Mangaldas, AZ&B and Trilegal. Even companies like Tata Steel hire a lot from NLSIU. The median salary for 2024 was 20 lakh and the highest was 30 lakh. They have nearly 100% placement rate.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure in the university are world class. All classes are equipped with plug points, projectors and boards. Wi-Fi is available in every corner of the university campus. The library is the largest and best law library in INDIA, with over 55,000 books. There are currently two academic blocks and a third one was commissioned recently. The food is really good but the hostels are a little old with a few students being given off campus residence this year.
Faculty: NLSIU has been the best law college in INDIA, 8 years running, largely due to it's excellent curriculum. The trimester system, unique to NLSIU, makes the curriculum rigorous and the best in the country. The faculty too are world class, with all of them being experienced, knowledgeable and the best in their fields. The exams too are pretty tough with the highest marks awarded in the finals being about 42 out of 60. It is required of all students to maintain a C+ grade or about 45% to pass a semester.
Other: Events take place in NLSIU on almost a weekly basis except during exam season. The Student Body Association (SBA) is very active and organises fests, luncheons, club dinners and activities regularly. The crowd at NLSIU, is but virtue of its CLAT cutoff, some of the smartest in the country. You will find people from all parts of the country and from all walks of life. The best thing about the curriculum at NLSIU, is a CCE pattern, Continuous Cumulative Evaluation Pattern, which makes exams and assessments a regular aspect with a lot of support material from seniors and faculty.

Review of National Law School of India University, Bangalore.
Placements: In the previous year, almost all students who attended for placements received job offers. The majority of students received PPOs in their fourth year. The average salary package offered in the previous year was 12 LPA. Recruiters are law firms like Luthra and Luthra, Khaitan and Co., etc.
Infrastructure: It's a 23-acre campus. It is quite small if you compare it to engineering colleges. Most of the facilities are available here. The whole campus is Wi-Fi enabled, so you don't need to worry about data limits. In some places, the connectivity is not good. Mess food is quite good on some days, particularly breakfast.
Faculty: If you think college is not only about studies and extracurricular activities, then you won't like NLS. The whole trimester is jammed up with projects, vivas, moots, negos, exams, etc. It's quite hectic at times. After a while, you get used to it.
Other: Sometimes, extracurricular activities are conducted.

Top tier firms like SAM, CAM, trilegal and other offers job for legal associates for their firm in particular fields in which students are interested. Others go for higher studies or for litigation also.
Infrastructure: We have a good infrastructure for 1000 people because of being a top university in India we don't have much seats and our campus is medium but beautiful eco-friendly where everyone can live there life. The quality of foods manageable and other facilities are also good which we can't compare.
Faculty: Excellent professors from law field and the way of teaching is beyond expectations. They are graduated from top universities so they know how to teach in top college. Everyone is reachable for any doubt and they explain in better way anywhere even outside classrooms also.
