How many marks should I get in the CLAT for getting an admission into Nalsar and NLSIU?
The marks required for getting admission change every year as the level of difficulty also changes each year.
According to some of my friends studying there, CLAT sets a tough paper one year and an easy paper the next year and vice versa. However, this should not be taken for granted.
- If the paper is tough, then a score of 120-135 is enough to get admission to both colleges.
- If the paper is easy then you need to score around 170-185 for securing the admission.
- Basically, you need to be in the top 120 students of the CLAT test takers to secure admission and what is the actual score will depend on the level of difficulty of the paper.
Do not think of a particular score while attempting CLAT as this will hamper your chances. You should aim to give your best and attempt any number of questions you think are possible on your part.
What if I don't have enough money to pay for NLSIU after I cracked the CLAT?
If you have gotten into NLSIU and can’t pay the fees, you can apply for study loans. Your fees will be directly paid to the college if you take a study loan. You will be able to pay off your loan after you get a job.
You can also be eligible for merit cum means scholarships or any such equivalent. If you apply for this, a part of your fees or your entire fees will be waived off depending on your financial circumstances.
You can also find a sponsor to pay off your dues. There are many companies that can help you fund your studies.
What is the scope and benefit of the Masters in Business Laws (MBL) course from NLSIU?
Masters in Business Law (MBL) from NLSIU is not UGC recognized. If you are an average student willing to pursue this, it is suggested that you look for other options. This is because passing is a tiring task here., it will gradually become harder to drag it for the remaining years. You also have to pay an extension fee of INR 5000 every year.
There are better courses available. Do some market research and then apply, do not get excited with just the brand name NLSIU. This course also has no market value. Companies prefer regular courses or professional courses.
How difficult is the MBL offered by NLSIU?
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.
What are the college timings like at NLSIU and NALSAR? Can you keep your regular job while studying here - at least for the first 2 years?
The subjects offered at both institutes are full-time courses. NALSAR and NLSIU are both premier educational institutes of the country that offer professional law degrees.
The courses offered by these institutes start after class 12 for several LLB courses, thus it leads to absolutely no question about you having time to pursue a job. The reason is that it is impossible to pursue a job while pursuing a course as vivid as the one mentioned above. The degree you will acquire is not a part-time degree that is easily feasible at several second-tier universities.
The classes usually extend from 9 A.M. to about 12.30 P.M., while the afternoon classes commonly stretch from 2 P.M. to 4 P.M.
However, in case you are pursuing a distance learning program, which does not include L.L.B, then you can undeniably continue your job.
