NLSIU Bangalore has seen all of its 76 students in the 2011 batch kept busy after graduation, with 63 participating in the recruitment process and all of them finding desk-based jobs with Indian law-firms, corporate houses or foreign law firms.
Commenting by email on the recruitment figures, Saurav Samaddar on behalf of the outgoing recruitment coordination committee (RCC) said that the trend was consistent with last year, only that this year recruitment was biased more heavily towards law firms rather than companies, which had recruited more heavily last year.
In addition to the 55 students who were placed in Indian organisations, 8 were placed in foreign law firms such as Herbert Smith, Linklaters, Norton Rose, Allen & Overy and Ashurst.
Of those, only Norton Rose and Ashurst training contracts were secured via the RCC while for the rest were the fruits of students’ own endeavours.
Top domestic recruiters were Amarchand Mangaldas with 12, Luthra & Luthra with 7, and Trilegal and Dua-breakaway firm Tatva Legal with 5 each.
Domestically, only four jobs came through pre-placement offers (PPOs), while the rest were campus placement offers, said the RCC member.
In addition to the 63 students securing desk jobs, four students would pursue litigation as a career with one student each going to the high courts in Madras, Bangalore and Punjab and Haryana, as well as the Supreme Court respectively.
Two students each are trying to clear the judicial clerkship process and civil services. The remaining five students are going to pursue LLMs at foreign universities such as University of California, Berkeley (two students), Oxford University (two students) and Turin (one student).
Kumar added on behalf of the RCC that the recruitment process was slightly better than last year owing to the better market conditions and a large part of the batch was placed “early on this year” – 15 job offers were already made in May of last year by record-early recruiters.
The 2010 NLSIU batch saw weaker placements with only 96 per cent finding places, although again eight had joined foreign firms.
Comparatively speaking
Nalsar Hyderabad’s 2011 batch also hit a 100 per cent quota for a batch of 79, around one-and-a-half months before NLSIU, also benefiting from record early campus recruitment runs in early 2010.
Three Nalsar students received offers from foreign firms, while eight students received offers of which the vast majority consisted of top US and UK law schools.
NUJS Kolkata has not yet released its recruitment figures, which it is in the process of finalising.

The above is the answer.
i can understand when u r energy goes in washing plates how do u expect the students to study.......
Washing plates, if anything, make you grounded. And NUJS has had stellar placements this year too. (Just like last year's).
See details here www.barandbench.com/brief/9/809/377-choose-law-firms-209-choose-in-house-and-98-choose-lit-career-paths-of-nlsiu-nalsar-and-nujs-graduates
Oops, guess you don't have much research. Next time, ask students, not aspirants.
Why you you ppl behave in a childish manner :P
Projects ? Oops. I have friends over there and they say they start their project few days before submission and cut, copy paste prevalent.
There is a world outside your college, try to see where you are lagging for last few year and cope up with that.
God Bless you :P
Nalsar Hyderabad’s 2011 batch also hit a 100 per cent quota for a batch of 79, around one-and-a-half months before NLSIU, also benefiting from record early campus recruitment runs in early 2010.
But why only NLS?
NALSAR was just as good. Am sure NUJS placements are equally good!
Please Grow Up.
But yeah wanna make pt here......We shdnt have law schools which cannot guarantee 100% (for those interested in jobs)...like GNLU, HNLU, NLIU, RMLNLU, RGNUL...ETC..
GNLU ONLY 50 PLACED OUT OF 120
HNLU -70%
RMLNLU- 10 OUT OF 180
RGNUL - VERY FEW
we shd only have NLS, NUJS & NALSAR as recognized law schools..
Let me tell you one thing, souls of RamjethMalani, Nani A. Palkhiwala, Hidayatullah reside at NALSAR?
Obama just commented that we need to follow the tradition which NALSAR follows.
These kinds just got admitted in NALSAR and are living in a dream where NALSAR is considered to be equivalent of GOD.
How dare you to break their dream ? They have just landed in CAR which can make them reach their destination without driving it.
You should apologize to these people.
@Poet - At least you get sane!
I am not from NUJS man. Nor I am interested in this placement( I know another comment would be "Can your college place you" ).
To be very honest, I dont understand what gives NALSAR guys so much arrogance ? Please keep yourself on earth, just cracking a stupid 2 hour exam doesnt make you the "KING OF THE WORLD".
I guess i need a college where i'd have more than a 2x2 tile to live on. :P Placement is the only incentive that college had anyways :P
The [...] and [...] faculty is driving students mad!
NALSAR is paranoid!
Nalsar is dead. No academic research. No growth. Regionalism. All faculty have left. Toss a coin! Right! Sure.
The NLSIU guys are doing it more subtly: ask NLS!
NALSARians have been so unethical as to actually hunt the top rankers and call them up; feeding the aspirants with untrue things. This is furtive.
Oh, and as far as propaganda goes, the amount of anti-Nalsar propaganda that I've heard from the CG kids has choked my phone inbox.
Can we call it a truce, please? LET THE KIDS DECIDE. THEY HAVE THE FACTS.
ANd, anti-NLS campaign by your own Mr. [...] and others. Please dont tell me that you ppl dont do that. I have heard enough from many aspirants.
RIP!
*He didn't even understand!*
i think its because most NLUs are budding institutions, with a lack of an established (i.e. a 30-40 year) track record of placements, moot wins etc (this applies to the top 3 as well).
maybe with time the students of the NLUs will imbibe some maturity as this nagging sense of 'insecurity' regarding their moot wins/ big-law placements/ faculty/ kind of cutlery the institute provides... will dwindle.
the smart kids in all these law schools know that the institute itself doesn't count for anything unless you yourself put in effort. the only downside to this mudslinging is that the aspirants who're trying to figure out what will be the best institute for them might get swayed by all the crap that people dump on these threads.
disclosure : i'm from NUJS.
Oh yeah and Big Law! Oh we stay in these forever and retire at the mature age of 60. No health problems. None at all.
Cheers!
Believe me no one is interested in how GNLU is doing or for that matter not doing at this stage.
You sound like a disgruntled law firm associate. Hang in there, bro.
Law school rankings are for idiots. What should you look out for during choosing a law school? Here is the URL clathacker.com/profiles/blogs/law-school-rankings-are-for
You'll enjoy it!
I should shift to HNLU. They seem to be having super-studly placements.
- NLSIU Batch of 2016
NLS Batch of 2016?
That means you haven't even entered NLS yet. 1st July or whenever college starts is when you can officially start calling yourself and NLS student.
Not good.
Your senior.
Like seriously!
Why do we have to waste so much time in pointing fingers at others?
We know NALSAR is an excellent place.
NUJS will know about their own college.
And NLS will know about theirs.
Who are we to dictate choices?
Whatever allegations have been put on NALSAR 1st years is saddening! I am one of them.And whoever is maligning 1st year NALSARites name, please go get a life.
Whatever one says, all the tier one colleges are OF EQUAL STANDING with slight differences here and there.
I really appreciate what Dhruv said. You decide your own life wherever you go. No one has a right to say that a student from a small college in an Uttarakhand village. Who knows they may rise more than any NALSARite, Noojie or NLSian!
Peace.
Hope the kids are sensible enough to make their own informed decisions.
They are calling up aspirants not choose NLS and NUJS.
It is now a well established fact Miss!
I second your other points made by you. But those are not allegations, but in fact reality.
And somehow, YOU seem to know more about NALSAR (the reality v. the allegations, which weren't even mentioned by Anjali in the first place) than most NALSARites do about themselves, how? Don't they like, give you work at whichever community-ish college that you go to?
And if you do know which "facts" (/allegations) Anjali's talking about, were you one the jobless ones?
And as far as "they are calling up aspirants not choose NLS and NUJS" goes, "they" were taken care of, and the aspirants were duly apologized to. And really, "they" didn't need to tell ANYONE that they shouldn't choose the latter college, the name didn't really come up. :)
Hey, why dont we send a letter to BCI and Law Ministry stating that some students from [...] have started coaching ?
Oh! Our government is against coaching. Havent you heard about new Bill ?
Beware! Be Legal.
LegallyIndia, are you going moderate this comment? But please tell the reasons before doing that.
[Partially moderated because repeatedly threatening to bring a group of students to the attention of the BCI for sanction appears to be motivated by factors other than fair comment and appears to lack any legal or moral grounds. -Ed]
Let aspirants decide.
Research is dead. Regionalism. In the middle of a forest. Professors teaching in Tamil. Really, now?
Do something constructive with your time, please?
As for "coaching": that is exactly what we don't do. And it's obvious that from your comprehending skills are as good as the quality of open spaces in your college (read: zero).
Washing plates, Small Campus, Comments on Bengalis, really now ? Thats what "they" have been doing.
I have not seen any of them to "praise" that college at any point of time. On the other hand, that latter college students do praise the former one.
Learn something.
Constructive ? See inside your collar first, then shout at others.
But I thought, washing plates kept you grounded and it is in furtherance of this purpose that you undertook such an exercise? No? And small campus? But isn't it one? And please, no one even talked about Bongs, except the ones talking about Nalsar "Bongs are cornered in Nalsar" - really, now?
Maybe, just maybe, if this vilification campaign by your collegemates hadn't started, you'd have seen more praise. Apart from a few losers, your college has some very bright brains, as I've personally known a lot of them. Very very disconcerting to see the rest of you ruining the name for them.
I've "seen" my collar, and I agree that someone has been stupid, and we've acknowledged that publicly. Would, you "Happens", do the same? But then, honesty really isn't your strong point.
Assuming that a CLAT aspirant is of a decent intellect, he has enough information floating around to make his own decision.
with NLUD now in the picture the dynamics might slightly vary but nothing to create a mass upheaval. to be honest to the extent of being blunt, the only reason people go colleges like HNLU,GNLU,NLIU,NLUJ (they are doing great at this point of time) is because they couldn't make it to the top three.
