NLS had their day Z today while NLUJ had it a few days back. How many students were left without a job? Heard that the scene is pretty bad a NLUJ. How's it at NLS?
Just the usual trend. Around 5-10 people will remain jobless after Day Zero and around 3-5 people will prolly remain unemployed after Day One.
No! Only 20 got jobs, rest of us are getting panic attacks and hoping day one turns out better. What's the use of having such an illustrious alum base if they can't even get jobs for us despite us having good CVs and internships?
Nothing usual about this year. More than half the people who sat for day zero did not get placed.
At NLS the scene is pretty decent. Several law firms came except JSA. Offers are made and the day zero effect is not being felt much badly. Let’s wait and watch
Around 25-30 people secured jobs at NLS on Day Z which is pretty usual. However, a good number of students were left without a single offer due to the lesser number of PPOs secured by the batch of 24 and more number of students opting for placements than the usual trend. Hopefully, the RCC will contact and get more number of firms than that are scheduled to come for Day One secure jobs for the majority of the batch!
Jindal places more people than this. Even NLUD does. This is the reality of Harvard of the east?
Iss saal ka stats nikal na.... yes Jindal places more people out of a batch of 800. I'm pretty sure that it will not be the case this time.

Usually around 20-25 people get jobs on Day Z at NLS. The reason for so many unemployed students after Day Z is because of a less number of PPOs. Just 12-13 people got PPOs. In other batches, the number usually crosses 22. 2ndly, more number of students have applied for placements this year. Otherwise, the hiring trend is the same.

The RCC should have called more firms other than calling the T1 firms only!
What is the placement ration or percentage of Total law student even counting 5 years student that are more than 1000 is only 1% of total students
It's been bad for them for the last 6-7 years, which is why they stopped releasing placement records altogether.
Underwhelming. Not that we didn't see it coming, the number if folks waiting for day 1 are significantly higher this time around.
Heard that the job prospects are down in all NLUs and only 20 jobs have been given out in NLSIU, NALSAR and NLUJ. Also, heard that there were 35+ jobs at NUJS on the Day Zero and with their PPOs they're nearing 70 jobs in their batch can anyone confirm this? The figures seem a little whacky considering the numbers have been very low in other law schools. If you know the exact numbers in other colleges please write below.
Is it true that Noojies get one week off just to prepare for Day Zero and an extra few weeks or a month to intern before Day Z?
Yes. Since 2020, when NKC has come as VC, 1 week prep leave is given at NUJS.
Can confirm the NUJS numbers. Around 65-70 including PPOs and Day Zero jobs. Not as good as previous years, but good enough considering the market conditions this year.
NUJS has indeed performed above average but that is mostly due to 35+ PPOs and Trilegal giving 13+ Day Zero offers. Other firms gave 1-6 offers and no one except Trilegal recruited more than 4-5 students. Exactly 68 people have been placed at NUJS till now.
Around 17 accepted offers. One of the lowest in NLS history. The usual big hirer CAM has also made only some 7 offers.

All firms have overhired from the 2023 batch but business didn't grow as much post-pandemic. This is the effect of that. Doesn't seem to be because of any fault of NLS or its students
The total number of accepted job offers are around 22. Otherwise, this is accurate!
With the batch of 24 facing a hugely disappointing Day Zero even in Top NLUS such as NLUJ and NLS, with NLUD also not having the services of CAM and Khaitan, it is more or less expected that a similar hiring trend if likely to continue in GNLU which have their Day Zero from tomorrow. With massive recession fears, it seems that even God would not be able to save even the brightest of students from T-1 NLUs.
What's happening? What is the scene across colleges? Is it going to get worse in 2025? What do you do if you don't get an offer?
take assessment internships in boutique, T2 and in-house roles and hope that your T1 NLU tag will save you!
