National University of Juridical Sciences - Kolkata

Set up in Kolkata in 1999, this government law university sits on a 25-acre campus and is approved by the UGC and the BCI. It has 814 students and 66 teaching staff, and holds rank 4 in the NIRF Law 2025 list, with a score of 79.39 out of 100. Placement figures for the five-year UG law programme have improved over three years: 80 of 127 graduates placed in 2021-22, 108 of 127 in 2022-23, and 122 of 127 in 2023-24, with the median salary rising from 16 LPA to 20 LPA over that period. The one-year PG law programme has held steadier, with 54 of 82 placed in 2021-22, 72 of 100 in 2022-23, and 75 of 100 in 2023-24, at a median salary of 10 LPA each year. These numbers give a sense of what to expect at each level of study here: the UG route has placed a larger share of its graduates at a higher median salary, while the PG route has placed roughly three-quarters of its cohort each year at a steady salary figure.
