Why do top CLAT and AILET rankers often pick NLSIU over NLU Delhi, even though AILET is considered tougher?

Question

It's interesting that many top rankers choose NLSIU over NLU Delhi, even with AILET's difficulty. While AILET might be a harder exam, it doesn't automatically make NLU Delhi the better option.

NLSIU generally has a stronger placement record. Plus, Bangalore's weather is a big draw—it's much more pleasant than Delhi's, especially during the hot summers.

Here’s a quick look at placements:

NLU Delhi (2020):

Particulars	Statistics
Students Placed (B.A.LLB)	45
Students Placed (LL.M)	8
Median Package (B.A.LLB)	INR 18 Lakhs per annum
Median Package (LL.M)	INR 8 Lakhs per annum

NLSIU Bangalore:

Particulars	Statistics
Students Registered	58
PPOs	23
Highest Package Offered	INR 18 Lakhs per annum
Lowest Package Offered	INR 15 Lakhs per annum
Top Recruiters	L&L Partners, etc.

Choosing between the two depends on what you're looking for. NLU Delhi puts you in the heart of India's legal scene with the High Court and Supreme Court nearby. Bangalore, on the other hand, is a corporate hub, offering lots of opportunities for corporate jobs and internships.

Also, NLSIU's reputation as the "Harvard of the East" definitely adds to its appeal.

Its a Question about your future!
