Khaitan & Co emerged as winner at NLIU Bhopal, winning the signatures of five final-year students on job offers as Trilegal, Lakshmikumaran and Sridharan, ICICI Bank and Pangea3 also turned up to recruit from the law school on the first day of its campus recruitment last week and Amarchand Mangaldas inviting 10 students for interview.
Trilegal made three offers to to NLIU Bhopal students but ultimately only one accepted because two students opted to join Khaitan & Co which had also offered them jobs.
Lakshmikumaran and Sridharan chose three students, of whom one is on a provisional job offers, while ICICI Bank and legal process outsourcing (LPO) company Pangea3 each selected four students after visiting the NLIU Bhopal on 7 and 8 August.
Amarchand's Delhi and Mumbai offices invited 10 students for interviews, although the firm did not visit the campus.
JurisCorp made one pre-placement offer to an NLIU Bhopal student who had interned with the firm.
Sixty NLIU Bhopal students out of a total batch of eighty students participated in the ongoing campus placement rounds that kicked off last week.
NLIU has now placed a total of 18 of its students with as many as six students holding more than one offer each, confirmed NLIU placement co-ordinator professor Raka Arya.
She said that the recruitment process would continue throughout the year but they hoped to finish the first round this week.
"We have plans to take up the next round in the last week of October after Dusshera vacations after which we will have another round in March when some of the PSUs and banks like to visit campus before the financial year ends," she said.
Arya also added that due to upcoming exams the candidates shortlisted by Amarchand could not travel immediately for their final round of interviews to Delhi.
The latest five offers from Khaitan & Co at a new increased basic salary package of Rs 10.8 lakh per year, takes the firm's total recruitment tally to 17 students, with eight joining from NUJS Kolkata and four from Nalsar Hyderabad.
Khaitan & Co partner Upendra Joshi told Legally India last week that the firm still planned to visit between three and four more campuses, including NLIU Bhopal, GNLU Gandhinagar and the two Pune law schools Symbiosis and ILS.
So far various top-paying firms have also attended first-round recruitment days at NLSIU Bangalore, NUJS Kolkata, NLU Jodhpur, Nalsar Hyderabad and GNLU Gandhinagar, with Amarchand having hired the most with 41 students so far.
UPDATE 21 August 2010: According to an NLIU Bhopal source Amarchand's Delhi office shortlisted three students for job interviews and Amarchand's Mumbai office shortlisted seven. Of these seven four sat for interview last Friday (13 July). Amarchand Mumbai made three job offers taking the total number of students placed at NLIU to 21 after the first round of placements, pending the interviews at Amarchand Delh, said the source.

P.S. - qualification to the above: money matters too.
NLIU Bhopal students are a bunch of bigmouths who always claim that they are as good as NLSIU/NUJS/NALSAR. the reality is that NLIU is not even in the top 5 . NLUJ and GNLU are much better. NLUJ is not only more fun but also academically superior. NLUJ also gets more generosu funding. NLIU = average recruitment, average students, boring city + campus life...the college now has an MP quota and the decline will be sharper
18-20 in the first season. Way to go guys!
all the best to the rest who are yet to be placed....
Move on from "Main achcha tu bura"!! A much happier life awaits you out there!! :P
@Kian: you should try and not allow such ridiculous comments.
so congrats to the students and to the college for getting a good start!
Please ignore the previous comment which seems to be from my fellow student!
1) You just said that only the top 4-5 people at NLIU do well. May I remind you that on 'Day 1' of placements itself we had 18 people placed. 18 is 450% of 4 isn't it?
2) It's ridiculous to make allegations about the statistics being fudged. A very simple way to verify them is to check with the firms.If you have the time and contacts please do that, and if you don't, please refrain from commenting.
3) We at NLIU enjoy a wonderful campus life. Are you saying that you, an NLUJ student, live on our campus and therefore know better?
4) We have always had the MP quota and is not something new. The lowest mark in this times CLAT for the All India category in NLIU is 144 and the MP category is 143. This is even better than some of the All India category students at NLUJ !!
5) With respect to being a 'Top 5' college, we have always been very good at moots, debates etc. Also, our infrastructure, faculty and placements have always been good. To go with all of this, we have always been ranked in the Top 4 for many years now by India's leading magazines. I think your frustration is purely a case of sour grapes!!
CONGRATS to the NLIU People.. :-)
na na na na na na!
Goodbye and goodluck
Wish you luck
its great to have good law schools n u r one of thm...so stop this senseless competition....
Ppl at NLIU great show....
However, if we are talking education - NLIU Bhopal definitely features amongst the best. But I guess, education is hardly anybody's concern these days. We all are consumers right. We pay fees to get remuneration not education. So I guess we should get back to the debate of who has a higher price tag attached rather than who learns more!!
you are going to be a lawyer, a very intelligent profession, please think and speak like one.
Sorry but how does NLIU offer the best education? The qualifications of the teachers are quite ordinary and most do not have good publications. The NLIU faculty is several rungs below not only NLSIU/NUJS/NALSAR but also NLIU. The NLIU faculty includes people who have studied at good universities abroad, secured prestigious scholarships, and have publications in reputed journals.
I urge LI to conduct a survey comparing the faculty of the variosu colleges to settle the debate.

Nd m not saying these bcoz i think NLIU is better than NLUJ but because i have observed this attitude of NLUJ students on public forums.
oh btw jus for ur info: m from NLSIU and we defintly are the Best Law school in the country :P
And I don't say this coz I'am from NLIU. Mine is an outsider perspective (I am from CLC, Del) of the recurrent brickbats hurled by NLUJ at various forum. The firm where I work has people from all the top law schools and among them I genuinely find NLIU lots more affable, approachable and critically-legal sound than others. In their work they are as good as it gets. Moreover, from the stories and anecdotes shared by other law schoolites I always get the feeling that NLIU guys are really blessed in terms of infrastructure and environ and campus life. The life out there in the City of lakes is no less exciting then anywhere else.
I could have abstained from posting this message and saved time for myself. But when you see such delibrate act of trying to sully the image of one of the respectable law school of this country (I think it is the second oldest after NLSIU)I thinks its time to put the facts straight. Albeit a third person account.
Dude... Whats wrong with you man! I am not from the "National Law Schools" but doing pretty well for myself after graduating in the year 2005!
I happened to read this article and i think NLIU has done a good job. I have a couple of em in my firm and they are very sound with their knowledge/application etc.
I did not even know what NLU-J is! Thought its some new National Law School that's opened somewhere... i have always knows National Law Univ Jodhpur as NLU. Has the 'J' been added to describe the jealous behavior (of some)!!
Wishing every one good luck for placements and life ahead!
Peace
Sir,
Sometimes NLU may be confused as the whole fraternity of National law Schools, ie the ones who get through clat. So to clarify the same, one may refer it as NLU- J. No jealous behavior, i think
i hope you realise damn bloody soon that the name wont really get you anywhere or a good job if you are not good enough. its what u make out of the college and not the other way..
and i hope you learn it soon enough. i am in the 5th year and by god's grace, have a job. and i can tell you, the college name doesn't matter at the end.
Thanks man!!! I m glad #45 did not start off by enlightening me as to when the first National Law School was established etc haha
Cheers
congrats to all those who have been selected in the first round of placements! i am afraid what will this year offer for first batch students of the new law schools at patiala, lucknow and patna.
Peace
