Firstly, the university has till now done any concrete efforts to place students, at least BA LLB ones. We have our student-RCC which works its ass off to get internships and placements and so far, we have done well. Things might be okay for 120 batch strength students but will definitely get worse once you have 240-300 students. Understand that the legal industry is very small. CAM hired the most from NLS and how many people did it hire? 12. Other firms hire less than this. There are a handful of firms that hire between 5-10 people, you simply cannot have even expect half the batch to be placed at this rate. Each firm has a fixed NLS quota of sorts, they won't change it simply because Sudhir, in his profound vision has decided to Jindal-ify this college. The brand name worked when we were a small, exclusive batch of students, it won't work anymore. You have a better shot at a smaller batch like NALSAR or NUJS.

Second, the University might be trying to remove students from the recruitment process and itself place students. This is a disaster. Talk to some NLS student you know and you will know that the 5-year programme gets the stepchild's treatment. For example, a firm went through the admin for internships and an entire batch of BA LLB students were not even informed of it even though they met the criteria. There is an extremely high chance the 5 year programme will be screwed over if student-run RCCs are abolished. Add to this that the administration generally is incompetent to the core. They can't even release grades or elective lists on time, you expect them to place 600 students? Its a joke really.

As a percentage of the batch, placements at NLS will remain the same even after the batch increase. Which means that in a dry year like this, NLS should be able to place around 100 out of a batch of 240 and in a good season it should go up to 175-200!

The placements at the top 5 always remain the same in terms of percentage of the batch and it will continue to be the same !

Not to mention the NLS VC's lack of experience in administration. He's not an institution-builder and I feel his decisions are going to cost NLS in the long run. I feel he should've atleast steadied the ship in his first term and then done his whole expansion in his second term (if he got one), but he obviously thinks he's a revolutionary. What happens once he leaves and the Karnataka govt. tries to get some stooge VC at NLS? Will all the faculty still remain there for the long run? There's no reversing the high student intake or domicile quota either.

Bro for this very same reason I have also put NALSAR on the top of my preference list for Clat 2024. Just wanted to ask that will I not miss out on anything if I don't go to NLSIU? because everybody says put NLSIU on top but I feel it is not owning to its name for the some past few years pertaining to it's placements. Please enlighten me.

Faced the same situation last year, didn't have NLS has my first priority for this very reason.

Quite satisfied with my decision. NALSAR is an excellent place, the lower batch size is an added benifit. NLS for certain is going to face the brunt, this is what happens when you give free reigns to a dictitorial VC.

I wanted to ask all of you that since NLSIU has taken 240 students for the BA LLB course this year and plans to increase it to 1500 students year by year under it's NLSIU Inclusion and Expansion Plan 2021-25. The question that comes to the mind is that how the university is going to get placed so many students because earlier it used to be just 80 students so placement was sure short in many ways since the batch size was small but what is going to happen now and what will be the future scenario since the college is taking so many students in? Will other colleges like NALSAR, WBNUJS, NLUJ be a better option to get placed since the batch size in these are around 120. Please give your views, opinions, thoughts and insights on this as it looks like a real concern for me as I am preparing for Clat and working hard to join Top Nlu's and will be looking forward towards taking placement at the end of the college. Please Help.
