​The University Negotiation Selection Rounds provide students with an opportunity to represent NLSIU at both national and international competitions across various fields of Alternative Dispute Resolution, including Negotiation, Mediation, and Client Counselling. The selection process will consist of two components: the Negotiation Plan Qualifier Round and the Oral Rounds.
 

We are also pleased to share that the number of teams qualifying for the Oral Rounds has been increased to 120 teams this year. Having experienced a great turnout at the Demo Negotiation Rounds and Negotiation Plan Workshop organized recently, we trust that most of you are familiar with how negotiations work. We will also be conducting a workshop specifically dedicated to the Oral Rounds post the submission of the written component. The exact dates for the Oral Rounds remain tentative, although we hope to conduct them in the first half of the next trimester. Further details regarding the Oral Rounds, along with the Offerings Policy will be shared following further discussions with the administration and the SBA.

The timeline for the Negotiation Plan Qualifier Round is:

1st September, 11:59 a.m. — Last date for registration and team codes to be declared by midnight.
3rd September 7:00 p.m. — Problem release and commencement of the Written Rounds
4th September, 11:59 p.m. — Deadline for seeking clarifications
5th September — Clarifications issued (tentative)
8th September, 11:59 p.m. — Deadline for submission of the Negotiation Plan
9th September, 11:59 p.m. — Maximum extension available for SAP students

As many of you begin preparing for the University Rounds, you may find some sample Negotiation Plans and the Draft Negotiation Plan Primer here.
