Nalsar-hyderabadNalsar Hyderabad’s recruitment coordination committee (RCC) for 2012 placed all 43 of its campus placement participants from the batch of 72 students graduating from the law school this year. The 100 per cent target hit in campus placement spanned 14 Indian organisations and two foreign law firms.
Out of the 29 non-participants while some have accepted LLM offers and judicial clerkships, most will join court practice.
Out of the 43 jobs secured, 29 resulted from Nalsar’s so-called “Day Zero” for the 2012 batch, that was held on 15 April last year.
In the final count, 34 students were placed across Eight Indian law firms.
Indian Law Firms
Luthra & Luthra led the recruitment tables with nine hires, while Amarchand Mangaldas and AZB & Partners came a close second with seven each.
Khaitan & Co Bombay and J Sagar Associates (JSA) each made three hires.
Trilegal and Bharucha & Partners recruited two students each.
Majmudar & Partners engaged a student for its Bombay office.
Foreign Law Firms
Three students accepted roles in two foreign law firms.
Linklaters recruited two, while Allen & Overy made one hire.
In-house and LPO
Seven students accepted in-house roles, while one went for the LPO Pangea 3.
ICICI Bank was the lead in-house recruiter with three recruits, while Glennmark Pharmaceuticals in Bombay recruited two students.
Dr. Reddy’s Pathlabs and Infotech made a hire each.
Other Graduates
13 out of the 30 students who did not sign up for campus placement are inclined to join the bar.
Five students will pursue an LLM, including one each at Oxford University, Cambridge University, New York University, Lieden university and London School of Economics.
Two students gear up to join judicial clerkships, while two plan to appear for the civil services examination.
Details about the plans of five remaining students who enrolled in Nalsar through a programme of the Bhutan government and who did not participate in campus recruitment, were not clear.
Nalsar’s RCC for 2011 had also hit the 100 per cent target for campus placement participants, though it had secured 16 more jobs for the batch passing out last year.
A number of companies such as Ernst & Young, KSK Energy Ventures, Hewlett Packard, GMR, Bharat Petroleum, and others which had visited campus last year, did not recruit any from the class of 2012.
Also, the number of law firms that hired from the class of 2011 was double the number of firms that recruited from this year’s graduating batch.
So much for the heated comments from NALSARites on the NUJS placements story posted yesterday.
I am not saying NALSAR's recruitment stats are bad/disgraceful; the point is NUJS easily triumphs over NALSAR in recruitment scene. Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding him/herself.
Kids, you need to realize that the number of people who are hungry for jobs in NUJS is 20% more than what in NALSAR. Adding to that, in that way GNLU is much better than NUJS with so many tier 1 domestic firms recruiting from there. NOOJIE POOJIE stop behaving like kids, be satisfied with your LLPss and keep counting teaching at clat coaching centres as "PLACEMENT"...Where a non-law graduate can also teach...
Disarming logic from NUJS, as always. Let's take a look at the figures. The top law firms - AMSS, Luthra, AZB, Trilegal, Khaitan and JSA - hired 32 from 68 students who sat for placements in NUJS. That's 47%. The same firms recruited 31 from 43 NALSAR students who sat for placements. That's a whopping 72%. The numbers speak for themselves.
Also, let's not forget that while NALSAR placed all of the 43 students who sat for recruitment, NUJS has left eleven of its students in the lurch.
Who's kidding themselves now?
Quoting Er, what?:
Your attempts at salvaging the situation at NUJS are cute. :D See, this is how it works. The more number of students sit, the assumption is that there is a greater number of quality students to recruit from. Therefore it is necessary that percentages be considered. But if you want to talk absolute numbers, that's fine too - 32 students from NUJS at Tier 1 law firms from 68 who sat, and 31 students from NALSAR at Tier 1 law firms from 43 who sat. NALSAR has done very well. NUJS HAS ELEVEN STUDENTS WITHOUT JOBS - AFTER FIVE YEARS!
And let's not even talk about the LLM situation. Some five students from NUJS are going to King's College and unspecified "others"(I mean, come on). NALSAR grads from this batch are going to Oxford, Cambridge, NYU, LSE, etc.
Recruitments or academics, NUJS has still to catch up with NALSAR. A ridiculous and empty online propaganda isn't going to prove the contrary.
Necessarily, this batch consisted of a large number of people whose fathers are Supreme Court Judges, seventh generation lawyers, et. al. which gave them the liberty of having the ease to not sit for placements.
It is a true fact which you can verify from anyone in the know. So before you start saying how litigation figures are all spruced up because these people did not need to sit for placements. Bear that in mind before indulging into the usual commenter abuse.
By way of contrast, the NLS batch of 2012 has also placed all its students, though recruitment was rolling after the initial 4th year day zero. Most ex-lawschoolites believe that its one of the better batches currently in law school, and the CLAT seems to have made things worse. At least the CLAT is improving student quality somewhere :-)
Quoting Interesting:
You are a loser, sir. That's what you really are.
Thanks for your comment.
The error, which was the result of an unintentional typo, is regretted.
It has now been corrected.

RGNUL, GNLU and the other upcoming law schools, even NLU-d, where recruitment started a few weeks ago, barely meet the numbers that the real national law schools come up with because their recruitment contracts are not the same as other law schools. They get paid 25% less than what students from NLSIU, NALSAR or NUJS.
its the same with internships. Apart from one or two firms, big ones like Luthra dont even pay students from upcoming law schools a stipend where as students from National Law schools get 300-500 rupees per day depending on which firm they're interning at.
So, if GNLU etc. have numbers similar to those of the big ones, it really is not the same thing.
It is good to see these places coming up but it must be borne in mind that merely matching the numbers of NLS, NALSAR and NUJS doesn't make you even.
I wish all the final year students luck, but understand that it is a tough few months ahead.
I wish you all the best for your interviews.
Stellar and consistent mooting performances.
Consistently high placement figures
Stable administration and excellent infrastructure
Excellent student quality. Succesful Alumni
It has come up in all respects. The only disadvantage these guys have is the location and to an extent their faculty.
I know them to be the darling of the tier 1 law firms and increasingly a lot of them are making it to excellent universities abroad from what I read. Its the underdog to watch out for.
NLS NALSAR and NUJS are in a league of their own but Jodhpur is presenting a very strong close to expnd the ambit now to Top 4 instead of the traditional top 4 something like the Ivy League of India. The other colleges have alot of catching up to do before they can be considered at par with these colleges.
Also a word here for GNLU which is showing tremendous potential and will grow by leaps and bounds if it can get rid of the state quota and expand its focus beyond Gujarat.
Applying this to Indian law universities, I think it would be safe to say that NLS is in a league of its own (I don't think the waitlist at NLS ever goes below 69 (58 seats plus 20%) and I don't think the 70th ranked person on the CLAT gets into NLS. NALSAR and NUJS are probably in the next league, and they're probably there alone. I think NLU-J is a great school, but I don't think that too many people would pick it over NALSAR or NUJS. NLU-J, NLIU and GNLU would probably form the next league, with HNLU, CNLU and RGNUL a league below.
NLU-D will probably slot in to league 3(with NLU-J), but we'll only know once NLU-D enters CLAT (which, if RS has his way, will be a long time coming). ILS and Symbi are also probably in the same league (though students choosing ILS or Symbi over HNLU might be mostly because of the fact that they'd rather be in Pune than in Raipur).
A sound analysis indeed. My take on NLUJ would be that it has come up great but still has a few issues to be sorted out before it can break into the so called tier 1 of law schools. It has lately been giving colleges like NUJS and NALSAR a run for its money in every aspect and if the growth curve continues after Mathur leaves it will be a college to watch out for. However, I would not put it at par with GNLU and NLIU as my experience goes the guys from jodhpur are significantly better. So for now its in that transitory phase between tier 1 and 2 deserving No 4 I should say no disputes.
What this country really needs is an improvement in the quality of education at NALSAR and NUJS, so someone gives NLS a serious run for their money. There seems to be a growing complacency at Law School regarding their falling standards, purely because of a degree of certainty that they will remain better that the products of NUJS and NALSAR (on average). From my interactions with students of both these universities, I think NUJS has a better shot at achieving this. But till that happens, NLS remains, as my previous post suggested, in a league of its own at the top of the pile.
1. Nujs
2. Nls
3. Nalsar
4. Nlsd
5. Jodhpur
6. Bhopal
When did any fir ever recruit from NLU D for it to be ever in the top 5 picks??
