Alumni Testimonials

It is a delight to tell you about NLUO where I have grown as a student, person and professional in the span of 5 years. The five years that I have spent here as a student has been fantastic for a whole host of reasons. This college has inspired me to become a better version of myself. The ultimate aim of the college is to get a degree at the end and I have found that NLUO is a great place to study, not least because it is a university that makes you want to learn. The faculty has been light at the end of every tunnel whom we students follow and find our path. NLUO never fails to motivate its students to take up challenges and inspire them to excel in curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Whatever in this short span I have achieved, it is because of the teachings and practical knowledge provided by the university.

I still remember choosing NLUO over all other University preferences in my CLAT form back then in 2012. This was because the syllabus of NLUO mentioned Media Laws in its course curriculum. I was always an artistic person looking for artistic areas academically and in extracurricular activities. During my 5 years at NLUO I got to experience and explore almost every aspect to everything I wanted to build as my career. From being the cultural committee convenor for two years to getting a pre-placement in a Media law firm in Mumbai, everything at NLUO supported me to excel in the area I am in today. I always believed that there is creativity in law and I always pursued it in my own artistic way & which is why I am dancing succesfully between both these professions today being an actor and an actor’s lawyer as well. During NLUO days i was known for my dance performances and organizing events. Today those college experiences, right academic guidance, support of my professors, staff and seniors. I am able to balance and understand both worlds of a client and a lawyer in the entertainment industry. The kind of exposure I have received at NLUO is priceless and is helping me reach my goals with each passing day. I wish the same for all the students graduating every year from NLUO.

Lots of love and wishes.

NLUO has always been and always will be a huge part of my life. It gave me the elements I required to do the job that I do. NLUO has given me a lot of opportunities not only career-wise but also with respect to personal growth and developing leadership skills. All of this has been instrumental in making me the Army Officer that I am today. Accomplishing one’s dream to be a successful lawyer is completely in one’s own hands and all that the teaching staff can do, is to groom them. It’s not just academic scores that matter, but understanding the principles of law that makes one a good lawyer. With a focused and attentive mind and a willingness to learn and not just enjoy life, one leaves NLUO as a successful lawyer with miles ahead of them. In the Army, it is said that if a junior performs well then it is the credit of the senior who groomed him/her. The same applies to lawyers as well. The success stories of students of NLUO bear testament to this fact. Since the first batch, NLUO has strived hard to build a name for itself in the global arena, and so far, it’s been doing really well. I urge all of my juniors to extract the most out of the facilities available and use the resources to the optimal limit. Hardwork will never keep you waiting for good things, but laziness will. I’m a proud alumnus of this institution and always will be.

My ardor to pursue higher education in law has been a seemingly causal event of what I fondly think of as Edward Lorenz’s Butterfly Effect. In-fact I have a strong conviction that it was the very environment at NLUO, taking her baby steps towards becoming one of the best law schools in the country and embarking on the journey to impart finest legal education, that had slowly culminated into the passion that I feel today, for law as a subject!

NLUO stands true to its motto of ‘Law locates in the truth’ with equal opportunities and inclusive atmosphere to all. The inspiring faculties, diverse colleagues, and administrative openness, inculcate strong values and prepare you well for the life struggles throughout.

I truly appreciate the way NLUO has grown over the years and is being named in one of the Top 10 Universities in the Country.

Being a student of one of the founding batches of the University, it always is a pleasure talking about the life at NLUO. The academics at the University are not just theoritical, but gives a practical and analytical approach which makes learning relatable to real life experiences, giving a huge boost to the professional life. The faculty at the University are well qualified which develops an enthusiasm to learn which is pivotal for growth of a student.

The campus is beautifully placed and is huge in area, with all availble modern facilities and with the best available research database and collection of books at the library, NLUO is truly a stand-out among other law colleges including several National Law Universities.

The profession of law is noble for the reason that its purpose is to preserve the moral sanctity that binds the society. NLUO has made me become an advocate who has to deal with the greatest possible variety of human relations and has his mettle constantly tried from every direction. The good practices that are taught in the Universiry always reflect in the manner we present the arguments of the parties in front of the Court.

Would always be proud to be an alumnus of the prestigious University.

‘NLUO remains as a University, which made a lawyer out of me. From initiating me into the world of mooting, to engaging with critical course-work, it provided me with abundant avenues to choose and pursue my path. Location, faculty and facilities gave me a home away from home.

Being the first batch at NLUO, the 5 years that I spent here count as a crucial learning experience for me. My present role in the judicial service found its roots during my BBA LLB days at NLU Odisha. The work ethics that are required in this profession were drilled in during our early days at Nluo. The morning classes, held at the makeshift academic block or the afternoon accounts classes from the mess canteen, instilled within us an enforcer mentality that is still yielding great dividends for all of us. NLUO serves as an excellent incubator for the high flying legal eagles of the country.

NLUO is the 2nd home for me now. An institution that have students from across the country gives you can opportunity to meet new people and understand different cultures. Being one of the fastest growing institutions in legal education it gives a plethora of opportunity to its students to develop their personality and legal mind by numerous activities this college offers.

NLUO, being one of the National Law Universities symbolises its competence with research. It is worth mentioning that the university offers umpteen opportunities to thrive in every field and acquire more skills or develop the ones that we already have. Hands down, everything is a walk away and there’s something here for everyone.

NLUO has been a great contributor towards the development of my personality. The faculties here are extremely knowledgeable and are always ready to impart you lots and lots of knowledge. The College timings here are flexible so you can excel in extracurricular activities as well. The faculties, as well as Administration, are really supportive not only professionally but also personally while a student is facing some adversity. I am extremely grateful to my University for shaping me in this manner.

I would describe NLUO as exciting and dynamic. The professors have been very receptive to any concerns or issues that have come their way and they have tried their level best to provide students with facilities and an environment that is necessary for helping them grow as independent individuals. The college does not only shine due to its academic richness but also through its variety of clubs and societies. As a result, one will be able to have an adequate work-life balance right here on this beautiful campus.

NLUO strives for perfection and aims to contribute to its students’ bright future. And the pandemic did not deter the administration from being supportive and empathetic of each student’s needs, which has absolutely set a benchmark. The professors here make the university what it is today. With an attitude of being ever ready to help and delivering classroom teachings, they are also the pillars of the learning gained from this esteemed university, which is a treasure for life. I believe that my time at NLUO prepares me for what is coming after university due to the different experiences and extracurricular activities provided.

I look back to the wonderful time that I have spent in the university, it seems to be a perfect blend of pressure and joy. While the academic curriculum and the co-curricular activities might get hectic at times, the fun fests organized every semester help in relaxing our minds and easeing the pressure. Our university has been consistently ranked in various competitions such as Mooting, Debating, ADR and all of this because of the engaging college culture nurtured by the vibrant student community over the years. I am sure this culture will be preserved by the upcoming batches and the university will achieve laurels in the times to come.

The most admirable fact about NLUO, apart from its qualitative teaching is the balance shown here between the academic and co-curricular activities. Classes have always been a blend of theoretical and practical aspects ensuring that each student understands the course. Holistic development of the students have always been a priority.

I met professors who motivated us to not only focus on academics but to also pursue co-curricular activities. The environment is pressurising, yet motivating. The students are competitive and dedicated to mooting, ADR activities, publications. This culture pushes you to step out of your comfort zone and try new things.

Studying at NLUO Odisha has been a great experience for me. I am fortunate to learn from peers and professors from all across the country. The academicians and seniors always inspire by setting higher benchmarks. The University offers endless opportunities and a wide range of societies that undertake research in various socio-legal issues, ingraining networking skills right from the first year of the degree. I was involved with the IDIA, the Debating Committee, Academic Support Committee, and the Placement Cell. From training in Odissi to exploring Cuttack’s cuisine and the language, the cultural experience remains truly unique. NLUO prepares its students for the diverse work environments that lie ahead!

My journey at NLUO has been a beautiful ride. It has introduced me to the exciting field of law and has given me the freedom to explore it to the fullest. No matter who you are or what you like, the university will give you an opportunity to express yourself. I could not have been more grateful to have experienced the university’s vibrant culture and I am certain that the NLUO family will keep on reaching greater heights.

The very presence of a Society of Law and Literature, as the only society researching on the conjecture of law and literature across all Indian Law Colleges of which I am the co-convener, points to the encouraging and supportive traits that National Law University Odisha as an institution of higher learning exhibits. This is what my perception/experience towards my University is, as well. An institution that never fails to or quails from offering a platform to its students to peruse and pursue the most innovational and ingenious of ideas relating to law and otherwise.

The innovative and student-oriented activities this university offers maintains the interests of the masses. As the head of the newly established Society of Law and Literature, I would like to sincerely appreciate the administration for taking up such conjecture of Law and Literature and establishing a society for its further research. This society has always been guided and assisted by the administration at any given time.

An amalgamation of academics, culture and comradery is what I synonymize my University with. Throughout this journey of attending classes to attending committee meetings, I have experienced the best days of my life. The esteemed professors, exuberant events, and the skills acquired has prepared me for proficiently spear-heading my life and making it better for people around me.

NLUO offers more than just an academic education. It provides you to learn from the expertise in different fields and gives an opportunity to develop skills that helps you to pursue your future goals. I hope your Journey at NLUO will be a treasure for lifetime

For me, NLUO is my home far away from home that is helping me grow physically and mentally and giving me all the opportunities to explore the unexplored within.

Regardless of securing an esteem stature for its research oriented culture, NLUO has never demurred from extending practical approach to the students. In its quest to assiduously give back to communities in its vicinity, the university takes active interest in social work and dispute resolution in the nearby rural settings.

My teachers and friends are super nice people and are always ready to help. All in all NLUO has provided me a very conducive environment to learn and deliver to my ultimate capacity and I am elated to be a part of its student community.

I still remember the day when CLAT results came out and I was confused about which NLUto choose. There were a number of factors that gave NLUO an edge over other NLUs for mesuch as experienced faculties, well diverse curriculum, different legal aid programmes andfocused mentoring. But the thing that made NLUO stand out from the crowd was its strongresearch-based approach to solving practical problems of society. The administration has alsobeen quite supportive of different student initiatives which makes it a great place to learn notonly the theories of law but also the practical aspects of it. Looking back, I am glad that Ichose NLUO and it has been a great and enriching experience for me.

The rapid rise of NLUO amongst the prominent law schools speaks volumes of the success it has achieved in providing an environment for the students to develop a solid foundation for their upcoming innings. Besides studying law for the last four years, I’ve created a confident personality under the guidance of our motivated teaching faculty whose sky is the limit.

The opportunity to engage with a multicultural diversity of peers has been at the forefront of my innumerable perks of my time at NLUO so far. An academic culture that goes hand in hand with one that fosters and nurtures creativity is truly the essence of the university.

NLUO is a premier law university which imparts best standard of legal education by learned & dynamic faculties, & it motivates students who are committed to bring glory through various achievements in co-curricular, cultural & sports activities. I feel fortunate to be a student of a university with such repute and significance.

If I hadn’t taken the courage to set the first step out of my comfort zone by flying outto Odisha and accepting mess food, I would have missed out on being a part of this vivid cultural diversity in the heartland of Cuttack. NLU Odisha is where ANY person can find comfort, be it academically or intra-personally and most definitely call it home!

Apart from a beautiful campus, adequate infrastructure, and exhaustive research resources, one of the most interesting foundations of NLUO is its “Learning Culture”. NLUO has achieved such an open culture by maintaining a balance between academics and co-curricular activities that have helped in personality development.  Being an “in-campus living” at NLUO, one learns all the time from their faculties, peers, and especially seniors who have helped in a smooth transition to settle in the dynamic education structure at NLUO.

NLUO has provided me with a vibrant mix of diversity and cultural differences. Knowing about every part of the country withing these walls of the Campus has been true delight. Academic are up to the standards of a National Law University and same is reflected in the students that graduate from it every year.

From past three years I have been studying in the university. During this course of time I have learnt many new things. It was a major step for me to take admission in it. For me, it was an ideal choice because the extra- curricular facilities available in the university along with studies have nurtured me. I can say that NLUO is one of the best platforms where a student can learn skills.

Fresh out of school, the prospect of spending half a decade at a place thousands of miles away from home is daunting. Now that I’m well ensconced, it’s daunting to leave. The five-year course of NLU Odisha has been the single most fulfilling experience of my life. Besides the tremendous opportunities of learning the law in the classroom and beyond, this college lets you reinvent yourself for the better. Our curriculum is designed to make us learn humanities, management, and finance besides just law. With such a mix, your views are likely to be much well rounded, which is very relevant in a future that is rapidly bending towards T-shaped skill-sets rather than overspecialization.

Exposure to law through NLU Odisha has been one of the most enriching moments for me. Looking back, I appreciate the entirety of my course and the memories accompanying it. It really is a collection of great moments and positive encounters, and I definitely cherish being part of the 2022 cohort.
