NALSAR Hyderabad and NLU Kolkata, both the universities are top-ranked NLUs. In the NIRF 2024 law rankings, NALSAR University of Law is ranked #3 and NLU Kolkata is #4. Hence, both universities are almost the same considering the ranking factor. Moreover, candidates can also check the course fees at these universities to decide better:
NLU Total Tuition Fee NALSAR University of Law INR 65,000 WBNUJS INR 34,000 NOTE: The mentioned fee is as per the official website/sanctioning body. It is still subject to changes and hence, is indicative.

It depends on many factors such as proximity ( Hyderabad is better in this aspect), closeness to your home, the specialisation which you would be doing in. According to my opinion, NALSAR Hyderabad would definitely be a better option as it is a growing university whereas as many other top tier NLUs are stagnant. NALSAR also has better placements when compared to NUJS.
