2023 was heavily inflated for all law schools.
I am from NLUD, and here is the truth:
The placement was excellent for batch of 2022 and 2023, and this is a truth shared across law schools. But, placements for the batch of 2024 took a massive hit, initially that is. The Day Z was a bloodbath.
Shock, Panic, and Fear are the only words that can best describe the atmosphere on campus back then.
But, here is where the fact that it was NLUD and not any other college, matters. Bajpai (the swashbuckling VC lol who has some very good connections) and some other Professors took it upon themselves to get these kids placed. They pulled strings, had discussions with recruiters, and finally got more opportunities for more people in the batch of 2024.
The end result?
The damage wasn't as bad as people were expecting, but it wasn't anywhere close to the kind of placements people expect. Where does the blame lie? Mostly on the market conditions and some bit on the RCC of that batch.
But how are things looking now for the batch of 2025 and onwards?
Really good. NLUD has been making some great moves. In the past one month it has signed MoUs for exchanged, research, etc. with multiple foreign universities such as King's College London, University of Sydney, SOAS, etc. In fact, there is going to be a pathways program with SOAS which will let NLUD kids get entry into SOAS for an LLM right after the completion of their degree. Pretty sweet.
and the Rhodes and Jessup Nationals win just adds to the sweetness.
Big ups NLUD!
