In the top three law schools, the placement scenes are fantastic.
In terms of placement, WBNUJS has been doing really well. In the past, it has received 100% placement (not inclusive of those who do not sit for placements). The graduating class of 2020 received offers for all 78 participants who participated in the recruitment process.
With 30 students taking Day Zero in NALSAR, a total of 28 offers were offered, with 17 being accepted.
Last year at NLSIU, 47 final-year students who opted for it were hired by 19 businesses. The average remuneration package was about Rs 18 lakhs. In 2020, 40 job offers were made during NLSIU's day zero recruitment, which set a record.
The average salary at each of the top three law schools is nearly identical. Domestic and international firms pay different amounts for traineeships, with the average foreign firm package ranging from INR 38 lakhs to 44 lakhs and the average domestic firm package ranging from INR 8 lakhs to 18 lakhs.
Also, it's not only about attending one of the top three law schools; possibilities abound and are available to students from all law schools. If you are dedicated and hardworking, you will find a place at the top.
My best friend was in the science stream and took admission as a B.Tech student in IIT Kharagpur, but afterward, he prepared for Law for 3 months and got through. He's an advocate today.
It is absolutely possible to prepare for the exam in such a short period. Just maintain the balance and if you could, devote more time for preparation. Strategic time management and discipline are what you need.
Work on the derivations in Physics and concepts. Read current affairs in between and this will be a good way to work in balance.
Since we are discussing NALSAR University of Law, which is one of the top institutes, it can’t be said with certainty that you will get in with a score of 110-120.
According to the public record, the number of domestic seats is around 22. So, you can have a chance to get admission, if students who score above you are from the non-domicile category.
You can definitely secure a seat, provided your score and category. But because the competition is somewhat the same for everyone, you can’t be certain about getting admission. If your score is near the highest, you can be hopeful.
The rooms at NLSIU hostel are more or less okay. It is a government-backed institute and we cannot compare it with NALSAR.
The rooms at NLSIU can accommodate three students. They are not very spacious and you might find it difficult to share the rooms. There is no need for AC as the weather in Hyderabad is comfortable. There are coolers for the hotter months.
In the case of NALSAR, you will be sharing your room with another student for the first three years. From the 4th year onwards, you will have your own room. The rooms are not that spacious. With the construction of new hostel buildings, the problem of overcrowding is being dealt with.
It depends upon whether or not you can improve your score over time. Here are some tips which can be helpful.
So, study smart and efficiently.
My brother recently graduated from Nalsar University, so I can give you some information regarding the institute.
There is no real (job) market value of doing a PG diploma in Cyber Law from NALSAR Hyderabad if you’re a non-law graduate. This diploma won’t fetch you a cyber laws-related job or earn you a raise or a promotion.
You will find this degree useful only if you have an LLB or an LLM degree.
However, The course is great. Even if you are a non-law graduate, it will be an enriching experience for you especially if you can attend the contact classes which are normally organized by legal experts, experienced professors.
Now in the recent placement drive, the highest salary offered for PG Diploma in Cyber Law was INR 36 LPA and the average package offered was INR 6 LPA.
Yes, you can pursue B.A., LL.B after your graduation. You can even pursue the degree without your BBA degree.
You can complete your BBA then pursue the B.A., LL.B. Both courses take about eight years to complete. You can also let go of BBA and complete your B.A., LL.B degree which takes about five years to complete. You can also complete your BBA through distance education and pursue B.A., LL.B through regular learning.
You can also decide to complete BBA and get into a three-year LL.B program in any university in the country that provides the course.
CLAT is all about percentile and not the percentage. It is not about how much you score but how much you score when compared to all other aspirants that appear in the entrance exam along with you.
For NALSAR, the cut-off is between 130 to 140 marks out of 200 for the general category. If you manage to be in the top 120 ranks in the country, your seat is secured at NALSAR.
If the difficulty of the exam is easy then you expect the cut-off to be a bit relaxed. You can expect it to be between 170-185.
For the students of the first year who are studying in NLSIU, it is compulsory for them to stay in hostels. However, the option of going home on weekends will always be open for them. Just fill up a permission form and you are good to go. Someone I know used to be a student of NLSIU and she and her batchmates used to visit their families this way.
If you live in Bangalore, you can travel from your house to the institute without asking for permission.
After you have completed your first year you will be able to live off-campus. Knowing the busy traffic of Bangalore, it may get difficult to travel to and from the campus.
This is not allowed in NALSAR, though. You will have to spend the entirety of your course in the hostels.
One of my friends studied at NLU. According to him, life at NLU was challenging. It was not difficult but challenging in a way that the beliefs he had changed gradually. It helped him learn things about himself and evolve. He learned that life in a hostel is what someone makes of it.
Speaking about NALSAR and NLSIU, both their campus extra-curricular activities are much more vibrant than NLU Delhi. However, both institutes have a competitive environment for study and also have a lot to offer, unlike NLU Delhi.
