NIRF 2024 Law rankings

Q: What is the NIRF 2024 Law ranking?

It is the official NIRF 2024 ranking list for the Law category, with rank, score and institution details.

The official NIRF 2024 Law ranking in this database contains 40 ranked institutions. National Law School of India University leads at rank 1 with a score of 83.83. NLU Delhi is second and NALSAR Hyderabad is third.

Among institutions classified by NIRFRank, 24 are government and 15 are private. Symbiosis Law School is the leading private entry at rank 5 with a score of 74.62. The list covers 19 states and 29 cities. A smaller rank number is better, and scores should be compared only within the same category and year.

Movement compares each year with the preceding available edition. Newly listed means absent from the comparison year, not necessarily a first appearance. Absence does not establish why an institution is missing. Rank changes alone do not explain changes in quality.
