The Assessment Process Law School Ranking 2016

From student quality to residency we look at
all the critical parameters
he country has close to 1300 law institutes and the Bar Council of
India (BCI) still expresses its limitation of having exceptionally limited resources to assess their performance including lack of members
for inspecting the new and existing law schools. The BCI on the basis of an
inspection report and recommendation of the Legal Education Committee
granted approval of affiliation to 92 new colleges in 2014. The Council also
granted extension of affiliation to 223 existing colleges during the same period, as per the Annual Report of the Ministry of Law and Justice (2014-15).
Careers360 Ranking is an attempt to assess the best law institutes among
them on the basis of objective parameters that matter the most to students
and helps the institutes to know where they stand among their peers.

The process
The first step was to create a list of all the institutes that impart law
programme(s) at the undergraduate level such as 5-year integrated BA/BBA/
BCom/BSc with LLB and also 3-year LLB. A short list was then made of those
institutes that were (1) preferred by students in the respective region/state
assessed through cut-off scores (wherever available), and popularity on Careers360 portal and (2) figured in ranking/rating of top Law Schools conducted by reputed magazines/agencies in the last three years. This exercise gave
us 108 such institutes. We also included those that participated in the Careers360 ranking survey advertised in November 2015.
The second step involved a comprehensive exercise of populating the rank
sheet with critical details like student enrolment, diversity, faculty, educational qualification, infrastructure, residential facility, average salary of the
recent passing out batch, research output and so on. Data was sought directly
from institutes and also accessed from the official websites, Annual Reports
and through RTI applications (for public institutions). The total institutes
thus available for preliminary evaluation after filtering those that did not
have adequate data (on different parameters as given in the Table) was 82.
The next step involved screening of institutes that had no publications in
any of the 435-odd journals (law-related) out of over 20,500 reputed journals
indexed in Elseviers Scopus database over a period of 5 years. The research
output score was arrived at by looking at the publication count (2011-2015),
citations, productivity and h-index.
We thus list out Careers360s 2016 edition of Indian Law School Ranking
comprising 40 Law Schools (10 more than last year) which includes 30 in Public and 10 in the Private domain.
