National Law University system

The National Law University (NLU) system in India consists of a network of prestigious law schools established to provide high-quality legal education. These universities were set up in the 1980s and 1990s to address the need for trained legal professionals. NLUs offer a five-year integrated law program, blending undergraduate education with legal studies. They are known for their rigorous admission process, typically through the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT), and emphasize research, public policy, and advocacy. Graduates often pursue careers in law, academia, and public service, contributing significantly to the legal landscape in India.
