NLU Jodhpur has beaten the recession blues with its entire 2010 graduating batch of 2010 finding jobs or placements with Trilegal, Luthra & Luthra and Amarchand Mangaldas picking up 17 students in total and legal process outsourcing (LPO) companies including Clifford Chance's captive LPO hiring eight, according to faculty.
In the 77-strong batch, 30 are joining law firms, nine are joining corporate and PSUs, eight are going to LPOs and three have opted for LLMs abroad.
Another seven students went for civil and judicial services exams, seven for judicial clerkships in the Supreme Court and 11 opted for litigation,
Top institutional recruiters: Trilegal: 7 Luthra & Luthra: 6 Amarchand Mangaldas: 4 IOCL: 4 Lakshmikumaran Sridharan: 4 OSC Legal: 4 Integreon: 3 ARA Law: 2 Majmudar: 2 Ashurst: 1 ICICI: 1 IREDA: 1 Jindal Steel: 1 Juriscorp: 1 K Law: 1 Khaitan & Co: 1 ONGC: 1 Pangea3: 1 Universal Legal: 1 |
These figures were corroborated by a list of students and the job offers or placements they have accepted, which was provided to Legally India by faculty.
Trilegal emerged as the biggest recruiter, picking up a total of seven students, closely followed by Luthra & Luthra with six and Amarchand Mangaldas with four. Other law firms like, Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan, ARA Law and Majmudar also made a strong showing picking up 11 students between them. (see table)
Among foreign law firms Ashurst was the lone recruiter, picking up one student for its training contract in London, starting in August 2010.
LPOs recruited heavily from campus taking a total of eight students, with Clifford Chance's captive Gurgaon-based LPO OSC Legal hiring four, followed by Integreon with three and Pangea3 hiring one student.
Among PSUs, IOCL picked up four students, followed up Jindal Steel, ONGC, and IREDA, which hired one each.
A total of 14 per cent of the batch has opted for litigation and another 18 per cent has chosen to pursue judicial clerkships and the civil services exam.
NLU Jodhpur placement coordinator Prof Daga was ecstatic about the placement and said that he hoped it would continue in the 2011 batch too.

ppl are "opting" for the bar only coz the desi law firms aren't recruitnig en masse. nobody wants to join the bar. it's a ** job coz the stingy advocates pay ***
A DETAILED CHART IS GIVEN AND THE INFO THERE IS CORRECT. End of story.
You don't need to cry hoarse to my post n say you r so n so from such n such batch.
"Prof. Daga was ecstatic about the placement" - Daga should not get excited with this. This is not exactly good news as earlier statistics show. Agreed he's done a decent job (probably), this is a slow year and ecstasy should be expressed in moderation.
If you have the metal in you, only SKY is the limit...!!!!
Yes, I included Herbert Smith (as they were reported as part of MC once); to humor you (only because I assume you to be a NLU-ite), please allow me to rephrase - Classes of 2008 and 2009 placed 6 people in “London law firms” (happy? Smile please :P) – and for the avoidance of doubt, I am NOT including 2 people of Class of 2008 who got offers after LLM and 1 who got into a Dubai based firm. I am not 100% certain of the break-ups for Class of 2008 (so not commenting as that may evoke more useless rebuttals) but break-up for Class of 2009 is - 2 in Clifford Chance (of whom one also had an offer from Simmons), 3 in Herbert Smith, 1 in Norton Rose = 6 in London law firms.
(Clarification: Not all of them joined in Aug/Sept 2009).
Just for kicks, let me correct your statement “As of now, there are only three people in the Magic Circle from all batches combined”. 2 in AO and 2 in CC makes it 4. There are more in other MC firms but I have entertained you enough already - you should do more research yourself …. Your alumni after all.
Cheers,

good research dude, i m sure ur research ability will one day get u a better job than this ..and thank, infact i myself was forgetting few stats about my own univ,.

Now for some enlightenment … these are still slow times and firms are cautious, be it Mumbai, London or NY (where salaries have been slashed to 130k from 160k and rec. figures have seen a downward revision). Shifting gears to the NLU numbers … Amarchand does not recruit 20+ people from its preferred colleges anymore like earlier years. To elucidate, I understand from LI’s reports that AMSS rec. for this year was 11 from NALSAR, 12 from NUJS, and 11 from NLS (though I just scanned earlier LI articles quickly and may be wrong, and I lack your analytical skills Mr. Nash) i.e. drop of 50%. So its hardly surprising that NLU saw 4 heading to AMSS as opposed to 10 in 2008 and 2009. This may not have happened but then, Amarchand was probably not very happy as Luthra and Trilegal got the first pick (AMSS was obv. expecting “equal opportunity”) – this was a goof-up of NLU’s placement committee I am told, whose head seems to be ecstatic about his blunders as we can see. I am confident even you can figure out the obvious repercussions of this blunder.
Happy analyzing,
Cheers.
As regards whether I am who you think me to be, or someone else of Class of 2009, let it be. For your info, both the "brothers" had CC offers - 1 got a Feb 2010 offer and the other got a Aug 2010 offer (though both are to be counted as placement record of Class of 2009).
Very best.
Anyways, things are clear now and we have reason to be happy as NLU-ites.
don't blame the recruitment cell.... bcoz of the recession recruitment is slow everywhere.... you should blame our filthy politicians and the oligarchic indian lawyers who are collectively conspiring to block foreign law firms.
you make me sick. you don't have the b**** to criticise the BCI and SILF , but criticise the poor recruitment committee that is working so hard... instead of throwing brickbats at the recruitment committee, you should garland the SILF and BCI ppl with shoes when they come to visit your college, as they are the real reason you are not gettting good jobs.
spot on..
If you feel so strongly about Daga, for which I am not faulting you, why don't you all speak out loud in college and do something? And if you can't do something to help yourself, why will a law firm or corporate house want you to solve client's problems.
NLU-ites don't need to know about NLUs problems from this forum and you can do better than malign your own institution here.
rubbish! ppl leave AMSS all the time.

I would like some metal in me. Wolverine style.
Yea baby!
Give this guy a prize through the blogging competition LI.
Yea Baby!
is it safe to say that i will be spending my next 5 years in nlu j ??
HELP.
remember, college is all the life you'll ever have.
NLIU mean rank - 197
NLU J mean rank - 263
Further,
NLIU mean rank including M.P. Domicile General Category students - 249(still above NLUJ)
Im pretty sure all of the students who chose NLIU over NLUJ weren't India Today jerks..
Even disregarding the above stats.
Maybe NLU J is at par with NLIU, or even better, (Im no one to judge, but since you've presumed that position with such confidence, lets take your decision to be right)
but this doesnt make anyone who rates NLIU over NLUJ a jerk.
@ # 48 ... or rather in relation to his comment ... Yes, we did crib a lot because of the hours and the gruelling regime, but I guess that's what lawschools must do. NLS and NUJS have a tough regime too, though they may not bicker. NLU earlier had all days working (including national holidays)except for Wednesdays and vacs. Those days are gone now and the scene has chilled quite a bit with the city developing and the hours / holidays being relaxed. But the course and workload remains the same, though you get more time to cope as class hours are now 8 to 2 as opposed to the earlier 8:30 to 4:30.
@ 53 - plz refer to my 1st comment. As regards 5 years later, prospects can only improve as alumni network will be stronger.
Btw, what is so wrong in helping law aspirants who need some info? As regards NLU's standing, we all know where it stands :-)
