What is it like to study at NLSIU, Bangalore?

AB

While it is true that your quality of work will ultimately be your identity in the workplace, there are many benefits to studying at a prestigious university. At the same time, it is important to be aware of the potential drawbacks.

Let's explore both the pros and cons of studying at a top institution:

Pros:

  • Studying with the best minds in the country can elevate your intelligence level and help you learn from your peers.
  • Good faculty members who challenge you to think critically and question everything around you can foster a deeper understanding of your subject matter.
  • Exposure to the market is immense because you have access to alumni who hold senior positions. This can provide valuable networking opportunities and insights into the industry.
  • Being constantly under pressure to match the standards set by your seniors can help you strive harder and develop a strong work ethic.
  • Being part of a great institution can give you a good reputation in the market, provided you are technically sound, which can only happen if you work hard.

Cons:

  • The assurance of a good job can lead to laziness in academics, which is not advisable.
  • A feeling of elitism can prevent you from learning new things, which is crucial in any field, including law.
  • A tendency to be snobbish towards students of other schools is not a mature approach.
  • Academic pressure can be stressful and can take a toll on your mental health.

It is important to keep in mind that there is always a trade-off. While studying at a top institution can offer many advantages, there are also drawbacks that must be considered.

It is unnecessary to make a big fuss about studying at a top institution, but it is something to be proud of. While it can provide many benefits, it is important to keep yourself grounded and continue to grow as an individual and a professional. Ultimately, it is your quality of work and dedication that will define you, not just the name of the university you attended.

Which is the better law school in Bangalore or NLU Delhi?

MR
Manjuli Rai Posted On : September 13th, 2021
B.A.LLB Law,National Law University,Delhi (2021)

Both NLS Bangalore and NLU Delhi have their share of advantages and disadvantages. Here I will be listing some of them, to give you a better picture overall.

Advantages of studying at NLS Bangalore –

  • Located in Bangalore, it gets all the advantages of being surrounded by opportunities.
  • NLS Bangalore was the first law school with a five-year course in the country. They have a top-notch alumni network.
  • It is the most recognized law school in the country.

Disadvantages

  • Admission to NLS Bangalore is very difficult.
  • Bangalore is not the center of law in India, unlike Delhi. You may have less opportunity to make your mark, as you might get overshadowed by others.

Advantages of studying at NLU Delhi –

  • It is a new and more dynamic law school.
  • Delhi is the best location for a law school. You have the Supreme Court, the High Court well as the District Courts. It is the seat of government and the parliament is situated there.
  • You have all the law firms and best lawyers to intern under. Most of your seminars and conferences would be held nearby.

Disadvantages –

  • NLU Delhi was established in 2008 and hardly has any legacy to boast of.
  • Delhi is not exactly known for its professional culture, whereas law as a profession is very professional and demanding.

One thing you should keep in mind is that while your institute of education makes some difference, the difference is never so big that you cannot overcome it with your hard work.

What should be the expected CLAT cutoff for the NLSIU 2021? Are there any guesses from previous years papers?

MZ
Meenakshi Zamindar Posted On : September 17th, 2021
B.A. LL.B (Hons) from Maharashtra National Law University Mumbai (Expected 2022)

CLAT cutoff for the NLSIU basically depends on various factors, one of which is the difficulty level of the paper. Yet, for being on the safe side, you should expect nothing less than 155+ in case the paper is easy and no less than 140+ in case the paper is difficult.

The recent cutoff trend for CLAT is:

Categories Cut off
General 1-54
AI SAP 363-1892
AI SC 69-1857

However, you should not go by the expected score to get into NLSIU. Work hard no matter whatever the difficulty level of the paper is.

It is easy to crack the NLSIU with class 12th. What preparation should I do for cracking it?

PG
Preeti Ghosal Posted On : July 7th, 2022
B.A.L.L.B.(hons.) from National Law University, Jodhpur

12th standard is a good time to start preparing for Law examinations. Rather than targeting NLSIU or CLAT, you should focus on learning all concepts tested for law examination selection. Adopt a well-structured learn-practice-test approach. 

Focus on clearing your concepts first. Once you are through, solve different Q types and take CLAT mocks. Analyze the mocks thoroughly. This will help you improve your score.

What should be the score in the mock test for getting into NLSIU Bangalore for the CLAT 2022?

AR
Aakash Ranade Posted On : September 28th, 2021
Studied at National Law School of India University,Bangalore (2020)

Over the years, the cut-off varies a great deal between 115 to 160. It depends on the difficulty level of the paper set. Moreover, your focus should be on the rank rather than the score. 

You should be able to obtain a higher rank than others in order to secure admission to the top 3 law schools. The cut-off for CLAT (2015) was 125 whereas for CLAT (2020) was 153. Start working in the right direction and you shall achieve it. Try scoring a 140+, as it will keep you on the safer side.

Is it compulsory to stay in a hostel at NALSAR and NLSIU?

RT
Rakesh Todi Posted On : September 8th, 2021
Studied at National Law School of India University, Bangalore, graduated in 2020

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.

Can I get into NLSIU with just a month's preparation? I want it bad and I'm ready to do whatever it takes and work to the best of my abilities.

VK
Virish Khanna Posted On : October 13th, 2021
Studied BA.LLB Law, National Law School of India University, Bangalore (2020)

NLSIU picks the crème-de la crème of the aspiring students and people put in a year or two just to prepare for CLAT to crack the top list. It is not possible for you to prepare just in a month and crack the top 75 in CLAT.

However, if you still do want to try, do the following things and add a little confidence in yourself and you might just win this one:

  • Sign up for the test series.
  • Take regular mock tests
  • Analyze your results and work on areas that you are weak in
  • DO NOT take up any crash course, they are not very helpful
  • Study for not less than 14 hours in a day
  • Focus on Logical and Legal questions
  • Read explanations to all the answers where you go wrong
  • Attempt more questions that are similar to the ones you get incorrect
  • Revise difficult concepts daily and not-so-difficult concepts once a week
  • Practice with a lot of mock tests and get guidance from someone who has recently appeared for the exam, get insights, and incorporate them in your prep strategy.

Work hard and you might just pull it off!

How is/was your life in NALSAR, NLSIU or NLU-D?

RC
Rishi Chabria Posted On : September 8th, 2021
Studied at NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad, graduated in 2020

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.

  • The hostels of NLU Delhi feel more like a boarding school as there are restrictions galore, not only in the form of timings of entry and exit but for the hostels in entirety. 
  • NLU suffers from the lack of sporting culture and sufficient facilities for sports. Other than for volleyball, basketball and to some extent for badminton also.
  • Due to the attitude of the administration, it is difficult to play football and cricket.
  • The library of NLU is very good and it allows a lot of subscriptions for students who have various interests. 
  • The library also provides room for legal research and learning which is enviable.
  • There are hardly any events in the institute. Students usually head out of campus for having fun.

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.

If I get enough marks in clat2021 to get admission in the NLSIU Bangalore but my first preference is the RMNLU Lucknow can I get admission in the NSLIU (second preference)?

AA
Aradhya Apte Posted On : September 14th, 2021
B.B.A L.L.B at National Law School of India University (NLSIU) (2020)

Since your first preference was RMNLU, and if your scores match up to the criteria followed by the institute, then it is likely that you will secure a seat at RML. The seats at NLSIU also partially are considered important as well. 

The counseling (also known as the seat allotment process) is patterned in a way that students secure seats as per their preferred choice. NLSIU is a highly sought-after institute and it is the first preference for many students. 

Now, there are around 80 seats available at NLSIU including the seats for reserve category students. So, if your rank is within AIR 80~85, there is a good chance that you will secure a seat at NLSIU. 

However, if you have an AIR of around 65 and keep NLSIU as your 2nd preference then you will certainly get RMNLU and will be out of the race for NLSIU.

How difficult is the MBL offered by NLSIU?

SD
Shreya Das, Posted On : October 25th, 2021
studied at National Law School of India University, Bangalore (2017)

The Masters in Business Law (MBL) course from NLSIU is not difficult but the course work is more rigorous than LLB coursework. 

Law as a subject in itself requires a thorough readership and effort to get into every detail. It offers 10 subjects. Students with a working background could find it difficult to tackle both sides.

The questions asked in the exams are straightforward compared to the question papers that are set for the regular course students.

Most of the students who fail in the examination are because they are working so taking out time from their schedules to study for exams becomes hectic. However, if you are interested in doing the course then it is highly recommended.
