There is no age limit for appearing in CLAT and getting into NLSIU. However, one must meet the CLAT eligibility criterion.
CLAT UG Eligibility
CLAT PG Eligibility
Previously, there was a minimum age limit of 16 but no maximum age limit. Now there is a no age bar criterion for CLAT examination, according to the Supreme Court.
2 months of preparation is enough if you are aspiring for CLAT but you should work hard with sheer dedication.
Last but not least we can say that by following these steps you can easily clear CLAT and can achieve the heights, just keep in mind that you need to match the level of the CLAT exam so develop your aptitude accordingly.
One of my cousins graduated from NLSIU and here’s what I got to know from him. To get into any NLSIU you need to sit for the all-India entrance exam called CLAT.
So it might not make much of a difference after you get NLSIU but it matters when you prepare to get into it.
One of my friends is a student of NLSIU and here is his advice on how to prepare for CLAT.
With strategic planning, you can do well in CLAT.
Although AILET is more difficult than CLAT, this does not imply that NLU Delhi is better than NLS.
If you look at the placement reports of both these colleges, NLS has done significantly better than NLUD. The weather is also a big influence here; Bangalore has a pleasant environment, but for Delhi, the weather conditions may become a bit harsh for some times especially during summers.
For your reference, the placement of NLU Delhi for the year 2020 is mentioned in the table below:
Particulars | Statistics |
No. of Students placed (B.A.LLB) | 45 |
No. of Students placed (LL.M) | 8 |
Median Package offered (B.A.LLB) | INR 18 Lakhs per annum |
Median Package offered (LL.M) | INR 8 Lakhs per annum |
You can refer to the placement report NLSIU Bangalore in the table given below:
Particulars | Statistics |
Students registered for Placements | 58 |
No. of PPO | 23 |
Highest Package offered | INR 18 Lakhs per annum |
Lowest package offered | INR 15 Lakhs per annum |
Top Recruiters | L&L Partners, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, Trilegal, ICICI Bank, Societe Generale etc |
If you attend NLUD, you will have incredible opportunities because you will be living in a city with India's best High Court and Supreme Court. On the other hand, Bangalore is an MNC hub, you will get corporate employment and internship opportunities there.
Furthermore, NLSIU is recognized as the "Harvard of the East," implying that this college has surely done something worth the recognition that it receives.
O P Jindal Global University offers a well-designed MA in Public Policy. The faculties have good experience in teaching and research. If your goal is to work in corporate jobs, research institutions, think tanks, etc. the institute can give you decent exposure. They have extensive industry reach and a large alumni network.
NLSIU Bangalore is among the top-most law schools in the country and offers excellent academics in Law. If you want to have an academic-oriented career in Public Policy, then you should prefer NLSIU over O P Jindal.
The only way that will lead you to NLSIU, Bangalore is scoring and ranking top in the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT).
It is a competitive exam and has 200 questions. Each question carries 1 mark. The test is conducted only once every year and the cut-off for every year for different colleges varies greatly.
Specifically for NLSIU, you need to rank in the first 50-60 in the general category. For the reservation category, you have 25-30 more seats. In order to crack the exam, you need to prepare well in advance and strategically.
One of my friends studied at NLSIU Bangalore. According to him, NILSU attracts a huge number of students across the country due to its demanding stature.
Therefore, life at NLSIU is good. Studying here gradually becomes really hectic. Students have 4 projects to submit each trimester, along with midterms, end-terms and events like moots, negotiations, debates, etc.
If you are looking at the course from the perspective of its acceptability in the industry, then honestly it does not rank very high in the list. It can not be even fully considered a proper Masters in Law degree. One of my friends studied it and here’s what she has to say about it.
Therefore it is recommended that you do not opt for this course, as it is not an LLM course. The only thing credible about it is the tag you receive from NLSIU.
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.
