City-based non-profit trains students to crack entrance exams to these institutions

Bengaluru: Access to the national law universities (NLUs) in the country was earlier restricted to the well-heeled and students from big cities. However, the efforts of a city-based non-profit is helping bring diversity in these university campuses by ensuring that students from low socio-economic and disadvantaged backgrounds too get an opportunity to study in these institutions.

Increasing Diversity by Increasing Access to Legal Education (IDIA) was founded in 2011 by the late Shamnad Basheer, who was an intellectual property law expert. The organisation trains and mentors students to crack competitive examinations to get into these universities.

This academic year, as many as 21 IDIA scholars have already got into NLUs – which is their highest ever since inception, and around 30 students are expected to get admissions. IDIA funds their education and continues to mentor them once they get into these universities.

One of their trainees - Jai Singh Rathor from Patna - bagged the third rank in the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2020 and has joined the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru. He said that he wanted to pursue law but was sceptical as it was an expensive course.
