An award-giving ceremony took place on 8th April, for last year’s rankings. There is speculation that all submissions for the rankings have already been made and a virtual ceremony might be held. But, nothing is certain at this point. In 2019, NLSUI topped the ranks while NLU Delhi and NALSAR bagged the second and third position, respectively. ย Hereinbelow are the 2019 rankings:
- NLSIU Bangalore
- NLU Delhi
- Nalsar Hyderabad
- IIT Kharagpur
- NUJS Kolkata
- NLU Jodhpur
- SLS Pune
- Jamia Millia Islamia
- GNLU Gandhinagar
- RGNUL Patiala
- NLIU Bhopal
- Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology
- ILI
- RMLNLU Lucknow
- BR Ambedkar College of Law
National Institutional Rankings Framework published the data with utmost transparency. It was useful and laudable. However, it must be noted that a few Law Colleges did not participate in the process.ย The watchers of NIRF are concerned because of the announcement made by the Ministry of Human Resource in December 2019. It stated that Indian Ranking society might be doing a very similar thing to NIRF soon.
