Between NLIU Bhopal and NLUJ, which is a better place to study BA LLB?

Between NLIU Bhopal and NLUJ, the latter is slightly better in terms of certain parameters. NLIU Bhopal has a better reputation. It was established only 2 years before NLUJ, but it has a better alumni base. It also enjoys a locational advantage, as it is located in the same city as National Judicial Academy. NLU Jodhpur has more rigorous academics and a better faculty pool. As per the recent NLU J placement statistics, it offers better salary packages to the students. It is also better in terms of Moot performance. In the past, students from NLUJ have won a few national moots. If you want to pursue Judicial Services, Civil Services, Litigation, or LLM later on then NLU J is the better choice.

Opportunities at NLIU

There is a notion that fee structure of NLUs is relatively high which is unfortunately indeed true. The fee structure is available on the university's official website. It isn't that affordable for a lot of people but people do take eduation loans and the eligible category do receive national and state scholarships as well.

The Best BLIU, Bhopal

As you all know that the fees of the NL U's are very high it costs around 2.5 lakh per year for college and hostel only and if a student wants to study other courses and anything then it will cost more. the college provides merit cum means scholarship, OBC scholarship, and one more scholarship that is MP government scholarship for the medhavi students.

All about NLIU Bhopal

The fees at various National law Universities ranges from 2.3 lakh/ year to 2.8 Lakh/ year. However there are several scholarships based on both means as well as merit. Several College also offers scholarships to 1-3 students based on their yearly result. However, I believe that in order to make legal education more inclusive and accessible to all, there's still a wide scope for improvement.

Anonymous's Review On National Law Institute University - [NLIU], Bhopal

Loan is available and college has tie up with many banks for that purpose. And scholarship is given some students on need basis. The criteria for that is set by state government and Central government.

NLIU is best

In this case i blamed the administration of the college because they are not active at all. When ever we go for asking about scholarship, they said that there is no news or update about any information. But we can apply for state st scholarship.
