Q:   What are the fees for LLM programmes at NLU Lucknow?

A: 

As of my last update in January 2022, the fees for the LLM programme at National Law University (NLU) Lucknow varied based on several factors, including domicile status (Uttar Pradesh or non-Uttar Pradesh), whether the candidate falls under the reserved category (SC/ST/OBC), and other university policies.

For general category students not from Uttar Pradesh, the approximate fees for the LLM programme at NLU Lucknow ranged between INR 1,50,000 to INR 2,00,000 per annum. However, these fees are subject to change and could be higher for non-reserved categories or applicants from outside Uttar Pradesh.

Uttar Pradesh domicile students, especially those falling under reserved categories, might benefit from reduced fees due to state government subsidies or fee waivers offered by the university. The exact figures may vary, and it's advisable to check the latest fee structure from the university's official website or contact the admissions office for accurate and updated information for the current academic year.

Additionally, NLU Lucknow might also have different fee structures for sponsored candidates, NRI candidates, or those admitted under specific quotas, so applicants should review the specific fee details applicable to their category or circumstances.

The campus and faculty are great.
Placements: The school's ranking is not very good. Only 20 to 30 people are placed in the university each year. However, many students have secured a place through their previous placements. Students go to law internships, work there and get a place. Most students are preparing for judicial and civil service.
Infrastructure: The most important thing which I like about my College is the Infrastructure, which is nice. Very good sports facilities and gym. Best library in UP. The food provided in the hostel is decent compared to the price that is charged. The meals provided are vegetarian however one can take non-veg on certain days by paying a small charge.
Faculty: The university teachers are very qualified. They know that this course is held regularly and the teacher-student ratio is good. There is 1 teacher for every 30 students. Some highly qualified professionals have completed their education in foreign institutions. Some professors have written many textbooks and books. The teachers at the school are very supportive and every student can go to a teacher for help, whether it be academic or any other support the student needs.

Review of NLU Lucknow (RMLNLU) - Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University.
Placements: Very few percentages were placed last year, and the highest was around 13 LPA. People are placed in networking only through individual connections. The college administration is lackluster in providing a good platform for placement companies to come and take students.
Infrastructure: The college has 2 spacious boys' hostels and 1 for girls' hostel, with boys' hostels having single rooms since the 2nd year. The college campus is beautiful and picturesque, with great buildings erected for the sake of student curriculum. The mess for boys is pathetic, according to Sharma ji.
Faculty: Some of the teachers are extremely helpful and approachable; however, the others are not so good in either their knowledge or their teaching style. Yes, the course curriculum is good, especially for government exams, and the difficulty in semester exams is very low.

Beauty in the City of Nawabs: RMLNLU.
Placements: Very less percentage, around 10 percent, were placed. The highest package is 15 LPA, and the lowest is 8 LPA. Khaitan, Tuli and Co., etc., are the top companies. Legal Associate is the top legal position which is offered. Internship that students land is quite less among the students.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is decent for the college premises. The library and computer labs are well-equipped, and classrooms are teach-enabled and spacious. The facilities in the hostel are not up to the mark; the rooms are a little dilapidated, and the mess food is pathetic.
Faculty: Some of the teachers are good while others are below par, especially in their teaching methodology. The course curriculum is relevant for the industry standard and is good for seeking recruitment. The semesters are easy to crack owing to the repetitive nature of examinations.

Our campus has a great environment. It provides average placements.
Placements: Around 60% to 70% of students got placed in our course. The highest salary package offered ranges from 16 LPA to 18 LPA. The lowest salary package offered was 10 LPA. Many students got placed at Power Grid.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is very good. Our campus has greenery. This college is the best among all the other NLUs. Wi-Fi is available in our hostel. We have the best library. The food quality in the boys' hostel is average. The food quality in the girls' hostel is very good. Sports are also conducted on our campus.
Faculty: Teachers are very supportive and knowledgeable. They also help students academically and with extracurricular activities. Exams are excellent. Semester exams are conducted in a proper manner. The level of the exams changes with respect to the semester.
Other: The law field is growing very fast. One thing that can be done to improve this field is to create more judicial vacancies. Various fests like Avahan are conducted at our college.

It is a perfect place for your next 5 years.
Placements: It is doing good with the due course since it is situated in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Most of the students clear the judiciary, and they do not sit for placements. With time, the trends are changing, and people are shifting towards corporate. In COVID time, the maximum salary package offered is 33 LPA.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is perfect. You will fall in love with the campus. It has a top-class gym, indoor activities hall, tennis court, lawn court, football field, basketball court, swimming pool, a top notch library, moot court hall, and guest house.
Faculty: Faculty members in our college are average. They will clear your doubts too. For gaining real knowledge, you have to do it by yourself. The major benefit is that you get a lot of time to explore things. There is only an end-semester exam, so you just need to study for it, and then you can be free.

Review of NLU Lucknow (RMLNLU) - Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University.
Placements: I was from the COVID batch so I could not have the first two years of college experience, and after coming to college, it was overall a decent experience. Also, the environment of the hostel is very good. We had a great batch, no restrictions are there inside college hostel.
Infrastructure: Some of the teachers are very supportive and good but 25 percent of them have let down the college name. Also, the college culture here is regressing with time. I don't think it's going to be in the top 10 law colleges in the future. Lot of reforms are needed here.
Faculty: Some of the teachers are good, but some 30-40 percent are letting the college down; not so supportive they are. My experience was not good with some of them. Also, the examination pattern here is bad, what I personally feel. Also, no uniform or attendance is taken nowadays.
