A CONSISTENT EMPHASIS ON EXPANDING ITS RESEARCH OUTPUT IS THE CORNERSTONE OF SUCCESS FOR INDIA’S TOP LAW SCHOOL

- Ajay Sukumaran

India’s top law school has its sights set on the global stage. And, to get there, the emphasis is on research. The efforts the Bengaluru-based National Law School of India University (NLSIU) has made in this direction over the past couple of years are clearly paying off. For instance, in the 2023 National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) rankings, its score in the ‘research and professional practice’ parameter saw an impressive jump to 71.85 from the previous year’s 57.01 (out of 100). Scores in all other parameters remained consistent or showed an improvement too.
