One of my friends graduated from NLU Delhi and also after checking the reviews online, I can share these details about the hostels, which might be useful for you.
Do keep in mind that a single occupancy hostel room here, only means a bed, a table and chair, a wardrobe, and electrical plug points and implements. No separate bathroom or anything of the sort is facilitated.
NLU Delhi is better than GLC Mumbai. It is among the top law colleges in the country.
Here’s a brief highlight of NLU Delhi campus.
Student-Teacher ratio | 10:1 |
Recruiting companies | Human Rights Law Network, Global Citizen India, TTS, Luthra, AZB |
MoUs | Harvard Law School, Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs |
Leave NLU Delhi, only if you want a career in Litigation. Otherwise, NLU Delhi is better.
The main difference between NLU Delhi and other NLUs is the entrance examination. The other NLUs take admission through CLAT. NLU Delhi has a separate examination for admission which is AILET. NLU Delhi AILET Cutoff 2021 for the BALLB course was 77 (General). The AILET 2021 cutoff for LLM was 38 (General).
Looking at your profile, your chances of admission to NLUs are definitely not on the brighter side. According to the official data, the latest General Rank granted access had an All India Rank of 1782.
As far as the SC Category is concerned, the official reports are not available. One of my friends informed me that the last SC rank that was granted admission to NLU Assam had an All India Rank of 8967. Now if we evaluate your profile on the basis of this answer, I have to be brutally honest in letting you know that your rank is nowhere near the ideal requirements. Anything below 10000 would have still improved your chances but since your rank stands at 25505, I don't think you will be able to make it. Now you have 2 options to make a quick and wise decision
Considering the closing rank data of the National Law Universities, you can expect to get admission to the following NLUs for their integrated law course (B.A.LL.B):
All you need to do is keep working hard and not give up. Face the challenges and you will definitely bear good results.
As per the AILET's official announcement, around 50% of the 110 undergraduate level merit seats at NLU Delhi are reserved for students who are a resident of Delhi.
10 seats are allocated for direct admission based on merit divided evenly between foreign nationals and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI).
This 50% reservation of seats at NLU Delhi would also be applicable for the incoming up to 70 one-year LLM candidates, as well as the other reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/Persons with Disabilities).
Make sure that you go through all the criteria for the reservation applicability.
NLU Delhi has been ranked 2 by NIRF and the Symbiosis Law School has been ranked 8 by NIRF. Faculty members at both institutes are accomplished and award-winning with names such as Dr. Anuradha Binnuri, Dr. Atmaram Fakirba Shelke, and others at Symbiosis and Prof. Anju Tyagi and Dr. Amita Punj at NLU. There are about 14-20 faculty members at these institutes.
Apart from this students are selected on the basis of merit of 12th and the respective entrance exams of these institutes, i.e. SLAT for Symbiosis and AILET for NLU Delhi.
