BA LLB

India has 24 NLUs (National Law Universities) across different states. Each was established by a state legislature and operates as an autonomous institution. New NLUs continue to be proposed and established.

Key factors include CLAT cutoff trend, placement statistics by career path (firm/litigation/corporate), moot court achievements, faculty-student ratio, library and research resources, internship facilitation, and alumni network strength.

NLUs are purpose-built for legal education with dedicated resources. However, established university law departments (like DU's Faculty of Law or BHU) have decades of tradition and strong alumni networks, especially for litigation careers.

Location near high courts and legal hubs provides better internship access. NLUs in cities with active high courts (Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru) offer natural advantages for litigation exposure. Corporate law opportunities are spread across metros.

NLU batch sizes range from 80-200 students. Smaller batches enable better faculty interaction, more moot court opportunities per student, and less competition for top internship and placement slots.
