Answered Questions

Gujarat National Law University - [GNLU]: 2 answered questions

Which one is better: GNLU, Gandhinagar or NLIU, Bhopal?

Abhinav Banerjee

15 Mar 22

This is a question that almost every law school aspirants ask. There is no clear winner in this comparison. Below are some aspects of both the institutes. Based on these you can make a better choice.

Being established recently, GNLU offers better infrastructure. Both campuses are at a respectable distance from the city. You won’t have any problem communicating. At GNLU, you will have the option to do a running internship as it is located close to GIFT city, a proposed Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Both institutes receive substantial funds from their respective state govt.
The student crowd at NLUs and GNLU is almost the same. There is only a difference of 2-3 marks in the required cutoff of these NLUs.
The administration of GNLU is supportive in a lot of ways. But there aren’t many co-curricular activities. The institute even received heavy criticism regarding this.
The teaching quality at GNLU and NLIU Bhopal is almost the same.
According to the GNLU placements, students receive an average CTC of INR 15 LPA. It offers more tier 1 placement compared to NLIU Bhopal.
For NLIU, the median CTC for the BALLB course is INR 14 LPA.

So, both GNLU and NLIU Bhopal will offer you similar opportunities. If you choose one over the other, you won’t miss out on much. While choosing one of these, you should also consider the distance of the institute from your home.

Which law school is better, GNLU or NMIMS?

Madumita Banerjee

The certain winner here would be GNLU.

More batches have passed out from GNLU than NMIMS. GNLU also has better and more experienced faculties. Apart from these, GNLU is a well-established brand in the law education circuit. The campus, infrastructure, library, student quality is better at GNLU. You will get a lot more exposure, facilities, and opportunities at GNLU than at NMIMS.

Currently, there is a lot of room for NMIMS to improve. The classrooms are newly built and only a few batches of students passed out from NMIMS. Even though the student body is apparently doing well, it is yet to be established properly. The number of winners in MUNs, debates, moots, etc., is definitely growing but it still has a lot of work and improvements to do to become considerable. NMIMS is growing but to be as reputed and renowned as GNLU, will still take a lot of time.
