National Law University

National Law University, Delhi (NLU Delhi) is one of India’s most prestigious law universities, accredited with an ‘A’ Grade by NAAC and approved by the Bar Council of India (BCI). Established in 2008 and ranked 2nd in the NIRF Law Rankings 2025 — for the eighth consecutive year — the university has built a formidable reputation for academic excellence, cutting-edge legal research, and outstanding graduate outcomes. Located in Sector 14, Dwarka, New Delhi, its fully residential green campus houses modern academic blocks, separate boys’ and girls’ hostels, a well-stocked library, an air-conditioned auditorium, and excellent sports and recreational facilities.

NLU Delhi’s flagship programme is the five-year integrated B.A. LL.B. (Hons.), offered with specialisation tracks in areas such as Business Law, Criminal Law, Constitutional Law, International Law, and Intellectual Property Law. At the postgraduate level, the university offers a one-year LL.M. and a distinctive Joint LL.M./M.A. in Intellectual Property Law and Management, along with a full-time Ph.D. in Law and a range of online and hybrid certificate courses for working professionals and students.

Admissions to all programmes are through the All India Law Entrance Test (AILET), conducted by the university itself, making it one of the most competitive law entrances in the country. With only around 123 undergraduate seats, the university maintains an exceptionally selective intake, ensuring small class sizes and close faculty mentorship. Its distinguished faculty, vibrant moot court culture, student-run law journals, and regular international exchange programmes create a truly global learning environment.

NLU Delhi’s placement record is among the best in Indian legal education. Graduates are consistently recruited by top-tier law firms such as Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, AZB & Partners, Khaitan & Co, Trilegal, and Luthra & Luthra, as well as by corporates like JPMorgan Chase, litigation chambers, judiciary services, and leading international organisations. For students aspiring to build a career in law — whether in corporate practice, litigation, academia, public policy, or the judiciary — NLU Delhi offers an unmatched combination of rigorous academics, national recognition, and career opportunity.
