The verdict
Good fit
RGNUL Patiala packs serious value: a 2-year LL.M. for just ₹2 lakhs total, an NAAC ‘A’ grade, and a recruiter roster that reads like a BigLaw directory. The 20-seat batch means you won’t get lost in the crowd, and the curriculum mixes coursework with hard-core research. That said, the 55% placement rate shows outcomes are mixed, and the two-year duration demands patience if you’re itching to start earning. Choose this if you want an affordable, research-backed degree with old-school NLU credibility.
