The first concrete decision to this effect was taken in 1984 when various proposals to modernize legal education were considered and approved by the Legal Education Committee of the Bar Council in order to improve legal education throughout India. An important proposal was the decision to establish specialized institutions to provide legal education in an integrated and diversified manner. The aim was to revive the legal profession by making law an attractive profession and making it competitive to attract talent that had previously been diverted to other professions such as medicine and engineering.

National Universities of Law (NLU) or National Law Schools are public law schools in India established in accordance with the second generation reforms for legal education to be implemented by the Bar Council of India. [1] [2] The first NLU was the National Law School of India University (NLSIU) in Bangalore, which started its first batch in 1988. Since then, most Indian states have created an NLU. There are currently 23 NLUs across the country. Since their inception, these law schools have been continuously ranked by various agencies as the most prestigious and important law schools in India.[3][4] Admission to these universities is via the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) and is very competitive with an acceptance rate of only 2-3%. CLAT is an offline multiple choice (OMR) exam that tests the logical and logical skills of the candidate and focuses heavily on reading complex texts.
