To be honest TNNLU has been a very underrated University among the set of NLU's. It's the only university that started it's operations with a fully constructed permanent campus, and it really is a beautiful campus with good infrastructure.
2013-15 was a dark phase since the first VC was a political appointee. Then Arun Roy IAS (NLSIU passout) was brought in as VC in charge and he really did change the scene for the better. The best days was when prof. Kamala shankaran from DU was brought in as VC. She got in really good faculty from DU and other elite colleges.
TNNLU has MOU's with NLSIU and NLU-D for faculty exchange and it's been put to use is what I've heard from current students. Their academic curriculum is pretty good and it's quite rigorous. Not easy to pass and fool around. It's a pretty good bet over other newer NLU's. The Madras High Court and the state government is pretty much involved for the betterment of the university (sufficient grants and industry participation and not unnecessary political intervention).
This is what I had observed from my visits to the university. Hope it helps
From my observation, the TNNLU crowd has not been solely focussed on the corporate side alone. There is a healthy mix of inclination towards academia, policy research, civil services, judiciary and also litigation.
Alums from the batch of 2018 and 2019 have cleared upsc and state judicial services. I know your question was posted on the corporate side but giving you a clearer picture.
Trilegal - 5 (through Placement Drive)
SAM - 1 (PPO)
