Considering the ongoing pandemic and the consequential dismal state of hiring, I am curious to know about the placement status of Batch 2022 across NLUs. Any leads about tier 1 and Tier 2 NlUs would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

GNLU has only 4-5 PPOs so far that too from 2 firms only- Khaitan and TTA

According to my sources (who may not be right) NLSIU and JGLS are leading so far in terms of Big 7 hires.

What about Lower nlus like RmL, hnlu, rgnul, nluo....Any hires there?

We were having an e-stetson so I connected with a lot of people from different law schools. NLS has suffered badly, NALSAR doing pretty good. JGLS has had a sick placement season with 10+ offers only from CAM . RGNUL has not ever attained 70% placements and NLUO has survived with LKS coming to rescue. All of this is from different unofficial sources and discussion with students, the information is not credible.

Based on my analysis (which is based on unofficial sources) this would be my ranking of who did the best in COVID (please note that this is about who did the best in comparison to their last placements and not the best overall, for example NLS has faired pretty badly in comparison to their placements in non-covid era but it’s placement stats are still better than mist of the nlus and private universities out there but it’ll rank low in list:-

1) JGLS: They have been able to have a massive placement season despite covid not because of their own good but because NLU administration and placement cell have not been able to actually deal with the pandemic but their placement cell has actually done pretty good.

2) NALSAR: Kudos to NALSAR’s placement cell which was active (hyper active) and have arranged decent placements.

3) NLUO: Still shining, a lot of offers from LKS, I’ve heard

4) Symbiosis: Same reason as JGLS (a more dedicated placement cell)

5) NLU J / GNLU : If not improved, have maintained their records

Placement leaderboard so far (according to gossip from my friends circle):

Toppers: NALSAR, NLSIU, JGLS
Good show: NLUJ, NLUD, GNLU
Above average to average: NUJS, NLIU, NLUO, HNLU, RNGUL, RMLNLU

Are any placements really happening for the Batch of 22. While I dont belong to any of the NLUs, I have heard that placements haven't even started in the Tier2 or 3 nlus. Is that true?

Can you please confirm whether any of the colleges are receiving PPOs from L&L? Or is it correct that the hiring has stopped in light of the current dispute?

All of the trolls here commenting on NUJS' 'average' show have scampered away to hide into their ratholes once the 2021 batch's fabulous placement figures were made public. Considering that none of the other supposedly top performers haven't even released their 2021 stats yet, deliberate obfuscations and supposed rumours remain the only way for them to claim their superiority.

Let us wait for NIRF and judge who had best placements as officially certified byte govt. Please remember also that Indian law firms placements are not everything. How many TCs? How many hires by elite consulting firms like McKinsey? How many UPSC successes in IAS/IFS/IPS category? How many prestigious foreign LLM admits and scholarships by Rhodes? How many toppers in IIM CAT/GMAT and calls by top IIMs? All-round placement matters. It's actually far more prestigious to crack UPSC, work for McKinsey or be admitted to IIM A/B/C than work for CAM.
