NIRF 2025 Law Report: NLU Delhi Placements Up 29%, Salaries, and Rising Expenditure Revealed
The Ministry of Education is expected to release the final report of the much-anticipated National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2025. The report is published for various disciplines of higher education, including Law, Engineering, Medical and MBA colleges. These reports are usually published in July-August every year. In the legal education segment, NIRF ranked 40 law schools last year, with NLSIU Bengaluru, NLU Delhi and NALSAR Hyderabad holding the top three positions. While the rankings for this year will be published soon, the relevant data have been submitted by the law schools.
The data submitted by National Law University, Delhi, ranked 2nd best law college last year, shows a 28.75% jump in placements compared to the previous graduating batch. The median salary of LLB graduates increased from Rs. 14 LPA to Rs. 18 LPA. Out of 83 students admitted in 2019-20, 75 graduated in 2023-24, with 65 getting placed and 10 pursuing higher studies, the report shows. The NLU placement percentage stood at 94.20%. It is largely consistent with 94.52% achieved in the previous graduating batch in 2022-23, and significantly higher than 70% in 2021-22.

Faculty Outlook at NLU Delhi
The university has a total intake of 661. With 174 faculty members, including professors, associate professors, assistant professors and ad hoc, visiting, contractual and research faculty, it maintains a healthy 1:4 student-faculty ratio. However, approximately 58% contractual/ad-hoc/research/visiting faculty members show that the university relied heavily on non-permanent faculty members, many of whom left the institution by 2024.
