Are all the NLUs (National Law Universities) in India good? Or is it only the top tier NLUs (Banglore, Nalsar, Kolkata, Jodhpur) worth considering?

SN
Sanchita Nayak Posted On : September 2nd, 2021
B.A. LLB. Law & Bachelor of Arts Degrees, National Law University, Mumbai (2020)

The tier-1 colleges are the best among the existing NLUs that include NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, and WBNUJS Kolkata. These colleges provide the best placement offers and internships. These colleges have expert faculty that can enhance your skills in the related fields along with the exposure of moot courts with universities like Harvard University, Yale University, and many others.

Now apart from tier-1 colleges, NLIU Bhopal, NLU Jodhpur, GNLU Gujarat are also good in terms of faculty, internships, and placement opportunities. NLU Delhi is a reputed college and has a locational advantage. 

Among the new NLUs, NLU Mumbai is quite promising and maintains a consistently good record.

But other than the above-mentioned colleges, other NLUs are not that good and you will not have the exposure and internship opportunities.

How is the 8.0 CGPA at IIT Delhi?

SP
Sona Panday Posted On : April 14th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (2018)

At IIT Delhi, a 7 CGPA is considered average so definitely 8 CGPA will be considered above average. The value of CGPAs at IIT Delhi is as follows 

  • 7.0: AVG
  • 8.0: ABOVE AVG
  • 9.0: VERY GOOD
  • 9.5+: EXCELLENT

Key highlight pertaining to CGPA

  • The usual cutoff set by companies that visit the campus for placements is 8.5. Very few companies have a cutoff of 8 or 9 so to stay on the safer side, 8.5 is an ideal CGPA. 
  • No matter how lucrative your CGPA may seem if you don’t fill the certain criteria, it will be very difficult to get placed
  • Forex is a rare example that requires an 8 CGPA
  • For those opting for branch change, need to maintain 8+ CGPA
  • To hold a Position of Responsibility the minimum CGPA required is 7 CGPA.

I would like to comment that an 8 CGPA is quite decent and will open opportunities to a certain extent but to ensure maximum opportunities, an 8.5+ CGPA is recommended.

What is a good CGPA in Anna University?

AK
Abhishek Karuna Posted On : December 1st, 2022
Former Student at Anna University, Tamil Nadu, India

There is nothing called a good CGPA. CHPA depends on what you are willing to do afterwards. 

For a job: As far as placements are concerned, anything above 7 or 7.5 will fetch you a decent job. 8+ will get you even better jobs in flagship companies.

For higher studies: If you want to pursue higher studies, much more is considered than just CGPA. Some of these factors are 10 and 12 marks, GPA and work experience.

So an 8+ GPA will get you both a good job and colleges. But it’s not the sole factor. It all comes down to how much efforts you are willing to put.

What are the pros and cons of dual degree at IIIT Hyderabad?

AJ
Adinath Jain Posted On : August 2nd, 2023
Studied at IIIT Hyderabad

I am listing below separately, the pros and cons of joining the dual degree program at IIIT Hyderabad-

Pros-

  1. If you are interested in research, a dual degree is a great option, be it for industry or academics.
  2. You will be exposed to quality research as early as your 3rd year. You will suddenly relate to what is being taught and start enjoying the experience. 
  3. You will get a chance to publish your work in reputed conferences and journals and attend national and international conferences. DD students at IIIT Hyderabad publish as early as the third year in collaboration with international researchers.
  4. You may get to collaborate with leading universities and can even intern with the same researchers. This way your internship will be related to and relevant to your research work.
  5. Getting a Ph.D. from foreign universities is easier because you will have extensive experience in research and publications. IIIT Hyderabad DD students go to prominent universities in the US and UK for their PhDs.
  6. Getting into R&D teams also gets easier, especially today, when most R&D teams prefer Masters students rather than B.Tech students.

Cons:

  1. Do not choose DD if you wish to go for S/W jobs and not research in the future.
  2. The course duration for DD (B.Tech+MS) may extend beyond 5 years because MS is research and outcome-based, and not time-based like M.Tech. Earlier the average time for completing DD was 6 years which has come down to 5.5 years in recent years.
  3. It is difficult for a 12th pass out to assess whether or not they will like research. 

Thus, it is up to you to choose DD at IIIT Hyderabad. However, if you do plan to go into research, DD program is the ideal choice for you and IIIT Hyderabad is the ideal institution.
