According to some of the student reviews, I read online, I would say that the answer depends on your preparation for the entrance exam CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) if you wish to get into any National Law Schools/Universities in India. 

Every exam is competitive since there are so many other students appearing for the exam along with you. NLSIU's intake is very minimal when compared to others. Its syllabus is quite challenging and the students there get prepared as quite good lawyers. 

Roughly, you will have to make sure that you rank in the first 50 in All India Rank (AIR) if you belong to the general category, and you get a little more margin if you belong to any reservation category.

Although it is difficult to compare two institutes that have their own reputation in two different countries, we can state the facts. 

• NLSIU allows you to become a lawyer in the span of five years while Harvard Law School (HLS) takes seven years. 
• It is very much possible for an Indian to get into HLS and study efficiently. Nothing can hinder that. 
• But if you are willing to stay in India then NLSIU is the best. 
• The quality of education is not an obstacle in both institutes. 
• However, there is good funding in Ivy League Law School (HLS). 

Choose what works best for you, practising as a lawyer will not be an issue wherever you graduate from. You can work in India after graduating from HLS and the other way round. 

Basically, the greatness of the law school is defined by the academics, faculty, alumni, and infrastructure. NLSIU Bangalore is the only law school that owns 6 dedicated rooms for moot courts that are one of the most basic requirements for a law student, and a library that contains more than 50,000 volumes. 

The students of the college have won many national and international moot courts along with their placements in decent corporates, law firms, and government institutions. Also, many students cracked civil services examinations and even reached abroad today.

NLSIU Bangalore is the place that takes the best out of every student by providing all the necessary opportunities that a law student requires that help them to reach the apex of success.

NLSIU, NALSAR has a reputation all over the country and is among the top-ranked colleges. 

• The tag of NLSIU and NALSAR will stay with you for life. 
• The campus life is great. 
• The faculty has years of expertise in the field. 
• Infrastructure is also quite good. You will have access to resources such as the library. 
• The alumni base is huge and you can easily talk to them and discuss the future perspective.
• Beyond any doubt, the college provides you innumerable opportunities in the corporate world. Nobody will doubt your hard work and intelligence as you already cracked the CLAT entrance exam and then spent five years achieving your goal. 

NLSIU, NALSAR will definitely offer you numerous opportunities. But you will also need to work hard to secure good placement and opportunities. 

As your score is low- it has an upside and a downside as well. It is great that you know where you stand and how much more effort you need to put. If you are determined enough, then even 4 months of preparation can do wonders for you. Here are some things you should know:

• Firstly, try solving your CLAT papers without any time limitations.
• You will realize that except for Maths and GK, most of the questions are logical.
• To keep working faster, start taking mock tests each week, and gradually increase to 2 mock tests each week.
• Always analyze your answers after taking the mock tests.
• While studying, try dividing the subjects and give each subject 2 hours of your day.

The downside gives you a reality check and makes you plan your backup options. It is not really a downside but can work as an eye-opener.

As most of these LLM graduates start off on the academic side of things, the pay grade is equivalent to that mandated by the UGC for all institutions in all states. You can get a job role for an Assistant Professor or the likes. 

However, this does not stand true for Private Institutes that hire LLM graduates. They most times than not, do not pay more than the government institutes. But it all depends on your personal choice and the kind of work environment you would like to be in. 

You can always consult with the immediate batches to understand the current standings on the placement front. Connect with them one-to-one and you might get a better and clearer idea of what to expect. 

NLSIU is the best college for law in the country. So, there will be tough competition for securing admission. Here are some tips to prepare well in six months. 

• You should be updated with your current affairs and logical reasoning preparation. This is not an overnight job but a regular practice session. It is important to work on your logical reasoning efficiently for cracking your place in NLSIU.
• You also need to be good at English. You can go through the opinion-based editorials as it is very helpful. 

Preparation for NLSIU is doable in six months with strategic planning. But don’t discard your other options, it is essential to apply to other institutions for varied opportunities. Everyone should keep a backup in hand.

You can easily drop a year in RMLNLU for NLSIU or NALSAR. The academic calendar at RMLNLU is completely different and not so tight. There are no mid-semester exams and only end-semester exams take place. 

It is not mandatory to take part in moots, debates, and mediation competitions. You can score well in your semester-end exams by studying 2 weeks before them and can easily devote time and prepare for CLAT.

Thus we can conclude that it is just a myth among people who think that they will not get time after getting admission to RMLNLU. So remove this myth from your mind and start preparing for the exam.
