India Today has just published its survey of top educational institutions in India. As far as law schools are concerned, there has been a shuffle at the very top compared to 2008. NationalLawSchool of IndiaUniversity, Bangalore has regained the top spot, while NALSAR, Hyderabad ranks second. They are followed by Faculty of Law, DelhiUniversity (3rd), NationalLawInstituteUniversity, Bhopal (4th) and ILSLawCollege, Pune (5th).
Available online are a report on the leading law schools and a ranking of the top 25.
(Update – June 18, 2009: Outlook India magazine has also since released its ranking of law schools in India. While the NationalLawSchool, Bangalore remains on top, NUJS Kolkata is placed 2nd, followed by NALSAR, Hyderabad (3rd), ILSLawCollege, Pune (4th) and SymbiosisLawCollege, Pune (5th).)

India Today obviously doesnt know too much abt law colleges in India…..any law student wil tell you the rankings are ridiculous. I do not really have to say it in as many words but the national law schools- particularly the ones at Calcutta, Jodhpur and Bhopal are head and shoulders above the ones appearing in the top 5 / top 10. One only has to look at the selection procedure of candidates to draw a conclusion. And yes, NLS and NALSAR deserve to be where they are.

Outlook seems to have laid down a methodology for rankings. Would love know the same about India Today's rankings.
