S. No. Name of the Firm No. of Jobs taken
Total Batch Strength = ...
Total No. of Students who applied for Placement = ...
Tier 2 - NUJS=GNLU, MNLU
Tier 3 - RGNUL, HNLU, NLU-O, NUALS, RMLNLU
Casual NLUJ guy after being unemployed
OK
1. NLSIU (the leader of all time)
2. NALSAR (great crowd and alumni)
3. NUJS (terrific placements)
4. NLUD (lackluster placements)
5. NLUJ (no domicile, good placements)
6. GNLU (huge batch, good placements)
7. NLIU (lots of domicile, good placements)
8. HNLU (solid alumni base, above average placements)
9. NLUO (growing fast, above average placements)
10. NUALS (good crowd, average placements)
Go to RGNUL/MNLU-M only if you are desperate for the NLU tag and you are confident of working hard.
Please avoid any NLUs after this (especially RMLNLU, they have horrible placements. 2023 batch just saw 6-7 law firm placements in a mass hiring year). Better go for JGLS/Symbi Pune/GLC after the top 10
For jobs- NALSAR NLS AND NUJS are almost par (barring the LI big dick battles which happen everyday)
Then there is a string of other T1 colleges which will give you the same opportunities given you put in work, with their own downsides ofc, like GNLU has a huge batch size. But these 2 are generally same tier- GNLU and NUJS
NLIU again at intersection of Tier 1 and Tier 2, you can go here without worrying too much. But not quiet the same level as the former 6.
After this SLS Pune and Jindal in herirachy (confirmed from treatment at internships, still you can choose these two as well)
For placements NLUO followed by HNLU and NUALS to an extent (trilegal goes to campus at NUALS)
Below this RGNUL RML MNLU are sold by coachings but vv bleak job prospects. Uske niche mat hi jaoo, infact in colleges mei bhi mat hi jaoo.
The top 5-6 followed by HNLU/NLUO should be your last resort. Goodluck
My friend
In terms of placements.
T1 - NLS, NALSAR, NLUD and NUJS
T2 - NLIU, HNLU, RML, NLUO and NUALS.
NLIU is the best T2.
Also with this attitude, I am not sure, you'll get even tier 2, the difference between some tier 1 and 2 is less than 5 marks.
You have enough time, prepare.
