It's September now, so maybe we can now take stock? LI comments suggest that it's been a disastrous year for T2 and T3 NLUs; a very bad year for NLUJ, NLIU and JGLS; a pretty bad year for NUJS, NLUD and GNLU; an average year for NLSIU and NALSAR.
Not at all. NUJS has had fewer placements for sure in this year, but certainly not bad by any metric. Of course, more students signed up for placement at the last moment because more people wanted to have an extra cushion of job offer given the economic scene. However, NUJS and NALSAR have still done quite well. NLSIU has on the other hand done badly. NLUD quite badly but they never had a great placement record to begin with. GNLU has done worse than expected. NLUJ is a bit of a surprise. JGLS always had bad placements, it's even worse this year because they lack the alumni pull that would have given the extra push when needed.
NALSAR’s placements were pretty bad overall. If LI is to be believed, they literally had a single digit number of PPOs, lesser than even NLIU, NLUJ and NLUD.
Percentage wise it's terrible, but do note that Jindal is just a factory. A batch has only 100-150 people who are ambitious in the legal field. Still, the placements are at the same level as 4-5 years ago, so yes regressive for sure.
Correct assessment or too pessimistic?
1. Day Zero - approximately 25 placed
2. Day One - approximately 6 placed
3. PPOs (T1s) - approximately 15-16
4. PPOs (T2s-T4s) - approximately 10
