National Law Institute University, Bhopal

Bhopal-based National Law Institute University runs law programmes for 981 students, taught by 43 faculty members. In NIRF's 2025 Law rankings, it placed #27 with a score of 57.64 out of 100.

Placement outcomes vary considerably by programme. In 2023-24, the five-year UG law course saw 48 of 113 graduates placed at a median salary of 16 LPA, a figure that has held steady from 2022-23 (45 of 120 placed, also at 16 LPA) and 2021-22 (60 of 108 placed, at 18 LPA). The two-year PG programme placed 54 of 61 graduates in 2023-24 at a median of 8.5 LPA, close to the 56 of 65 placed the year before at the same salary level. The one-year PG programme has trailed both in placement rate and pay, with 19 of 55 graduates placed in 2023-24 at a median of 7 LPA, up from 6 LPA in the two preceding years.

For applicants, the pattern suggests the five-year UG route offers the highest median pay among those placed, though under half of each recent batch found placement through the institute. The two-year PG programme has consistently placed the largest share of its graduates.
