NLUJA, Assam students protest over elective limits and demand clarity on placements

Students at National Law University and Judicial Academy, Assam (NLUJAA) launched a peaceful protest over new minimum threshold rules for electives and concerns about placements and internships.

With batches of 55-60 students, they demanded the freedom to choose electives without being forced due to intake caps.

They also criticised the lack of a placement liaison officer and the absence of a Day Zero despite a ₹70 lakh budget for internships and placements.

After hours of protest, Vice-Chancellor KVS Sarma met students, agreed to remove elective limits, and promised transparency on the placement budget within two weeks. The protest is now on hold.
