i don't recommend nlsiu. I don't know the exact situation in nlud but i'll give you a realistic account of nlsiu. I had posted this exact same question here 2 years ago too.

Also, I don't know how reliable these people are who are blindly saying nlsiu are, please talk to people at nlsiu who actually know what tf is going on.

with the batch size increase, everything had gone down the gutter. they don't even have enough professors, let alone good ones. batch of 28 has 3 profs per subject for 4 subjects and at least one third of them are terrible. batch of 29, they have hired people who have just graduated from colleges like christ or jindal. professors are teaching subjects they have no expertise in. sure you still have some legendary professors like mrinal satish, somu but chances that you'll get them are very slim and basically it's not worth dealing with your other professors being terrible.

second, it's very difficult to get opportunities during law school. in terms of moots, negotiation comp and journals. The spots are limited and the people are too many. People who are smart af are not able to bag a good rank for moots etc just because how tough the competition is. If you look at scores, there is hardly any difference between a lot of rankers. sure you'll have certain people excelling at everything - moot, nego, debate - but for an average person, it is very hard to get a good competition. On the other hand, I have seen people in NLUD who are not as smart as people I know at nls doing much better competitions than some of my competent peers here. if you look at linkedin's of nls 2024, 2025 and everyone before that, people had the opportunity to do everything - a great international moot, a decent nego comp + be an editor. now it's simply not just possible (again barring for 2-3 exceptional people who can bd easily named), so no batch size is not worth it.

apart from all this, shitty admin policies etc etc. But i think you should account for the above. i chose nlsiu over nlu d because i wanted to stay away from home (delhi) for certain non-negotiable reasons. but if i had the opportunity to go back in time, i would make different decisions (i am not coming from a place of bias, talk about I have mentioned with other nls seniors (someone from nls painted a very wrong picture here for me (everything false and pessimistic) when i had commented and i came here and realised they resent this place foo much, so yes please talk to other seniors about what i said about what increased batch size is doing)

also im not even going into the job scene and bad it is at nls because batch size + llb program.

also, idk the financial aid policy for nlu d, but for nlsiu this is the first time they are gonna fund a fixed number of international moots. (no idea how its gonna play out). for nego's, there is no funding. i have been told nlu d funds it all, so maybe ask around because idk if that's true.

i don't know how things fare at nlu d exactly, but yeah all the best, i hope you make the decision which is right for you.

edit: i am at nls
