Out of all the law schools in India, NLSIU has the best placement so yes that's something to look forward to! Almost all Tier 1 firms come to NLSIU for placements the university has its own campus recruitment committee, and most students bag PPOs. However, the options after college are not limited to this, and many students prepare fr civil services exams or practice as advocates, or go for the judiciary.

- the faculty to student ratio is quite got there are more professors then the students actually specially for BA honours group and teachers are extremely approachable they are very understanding and their help a student develop their Idea and understanding of the subject very well. - all the faculties were pretty approachable and great but for first trimester at least a professor of narrative that was Ammel Sharon and professor of my major that is Chandrabhan Yadav for history were pretty good, they both were the most easy to understand and always ready to compromise for us to understand and get a better understanding of the subject. - There were no such faculties - exams are constant here, you get into the campus and two weeks into it you have to give your first midterm or that's what happened at least for us. This is a constant for NLS students.

- I only spent my first trimester here but till now we have had four to five events which included mixers freshers parties then we went told that there are programs and events which go week long called UNIV WEEK. Also there are several inter college competition like Jalsa a dance competition and many others. - Library of NLS is one of the best features of the university it has one of the biggest library of the country as well as the accessibility to book is limitless you as a law student would find every possible work you might need here. - The classroom here are also smart we will find both a white board and screens over there classrooms are designed in a form to get at least 100 to 150 students students seated in one place the ambience the furniture the infrastructure everything is impeccable. -There are several committees and collectives present in NLS which you can join once you get in you will find the committees and collective have their own independence as they are allotted a budget and then they can work through it throughout the year.

In hostel rooms you are provided with a bed, a cot, table and chair and cupboard and you share your room with two others basically every room is a triple occupancy. The quality and hygiene of the food here is maintained very nicely though the taste of the food is a different thing entirely it might not be to many peoples liking. When your filling the admission forms and completing that process your already allotted a hostel during that point of time for every undergraduate students it's compulsory to live on campus. Hostels are a little expensive but they have very well maintained rooms. The University is in Nagarbhavi region of Bangalore you will be able to find several PG and rented rooms around as there are several other University adjacent to National Law School and the area comes under the city itself.
