NUJS Kolkata saw almost a third of its batch snapped up by law firms as Amarchand Mangaldas, Khaitan & Co, Luthra & Luthra and Trilegal together made 30 offers two weeks ago.
The four firms all interviewed a total of around 40 students on 15 and 16 July, with a considerable number of interviewees receiving more than one law firm's offer and in rare cases even being offered jobs by three firms.
Luthra & Luthra turned out to be the single top recruiter with a total of 11 accepted job offers to students across its Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore offices.
Amarchand Mangaldas' Mumbai region, which has so far made job offers to 41 students across four campuses, hired nine students from NUJS.
Khaitan & Co hired eight students predominantly for its Mumbai and Delhi offices, while Trilegal took on two NUJS students.
Students who interviewed with the four firms on 15 and 16 July were not allowed to ultimately accept more than one job offer.
NUJS' total 2011 graduating batch consists of around 95 students, of which only around five students are understood to have not elected to take part in the recruitment committee process.
An NUJS recruitment committee member said: "It seems like it is going to be a good recruitment season. Students have attempted to find out more about the firms which they prefer and are more thorough with their research, taking into account other factors than salary packages, such as their own preferred areas of work and growth prospects."

You must get ur facts rite before you say anything like this on a public forum...
Looks like you are really against merit and competition pal...don't worry even in the domestic scene, you won't get any work,, sour grapes lol
The fact is this: NUJS recruitment committe is proactive enough not to sit on its laurels and think of ways how NUJS can further improve its placements. And that is why they are thinking of engaging with the 'placement agency'. The placement agency itself is keen to render such services to law schools.
LOL!
There are no politics in the nujs recruitment committee, period. Nobody is hijacking anything. Stop sounding like a sissy 8 year old - what in the world does sucking up to teachers have to do with this report? Students who go around posting such comments like you - we could all do without. Absolute gibberish! NONE, I repeat NONE of the students who were anywhere in the vicinity of the MCS issues are in the recruitment committee to start with. The committee is formed after a round of voting which ensures that the members in the committee represent the students and are trusted by the students. Indulging in politics / sucking up to teachers is not the criteria because at the end of the day the other students trust the committee with their jobs.
No. The NUJS kids didn't need any placement agency for the abovementioned recruitments. It's a lot of work and the kids did it themselves. Great work. Just because the committee members are humble enough not to jump into the limelight to hog any credit, you'd try to discredit them completely?
Well, hopefully someday you'll realise that one IS permitted to look beyond AMSS. At NUJS there are people who already do. There are actually students who rejected AMSS and accepted offers by other firms. Im not saying that there are no students who suffer from herd mentality and who cant think of anything but someday making money for the Shroffs. However, it is fortunate that AMSS is not the be-all and end-all for student here.
Well done, NUJS!
What is wrong in making fun of the name [...]? It obviously sounds different from Trilegal, AZB and even Indian names like Luthra and Luthra, Bharucha and partners etc. The name sounds archaic and reminds you of characters in [...] stories.
[Mocking firms or names is not exactly freedom of speech or the height of wit. In the previous case it was not really relevant to the point you were making, which was perfectly fine without it. We get complaints from both sides of the fence about being too permissive in comments or too strict. We'll try to take a happy medium approach but there never be pleasing both sides. -Ed]
