This random selection of a few colleges for participation is shocking and disappointing.
And a competition meant only for undergraduate students has, as its topic, 'The implications of BALCO v. Kaiser Aluminium: A practitioner’s perspective '
Why HNLU Raipur Is excluded from the List??? Why this selective eligibilty for
participation???
where does it say it is only open to undergrads???
Shocking that the likes of RGNUL Patiala, HNLU Raipur and RMLNLU Lucknow have been disregarded whereas NLU Odisha, JGLS and SOEL Chennai haven't been.
