1. NLSIU has not got the Rhodes in the last decade. NUJS, GNLU and NLUD and even NUALS got those. They do have the best alumni base though including range and dedication of alum. Sheer absolute number-wise, they will rank ahead of all other NLUs in every career choice, though a chunk of that is because of their head start. As on date, they are not 'ahead' of NALSAR, NUJS etc. in any career option.
2. NALSAR's corp placements are quite decent. There is no distinct advantage that they have enjoyed in the last 10 years about TCs.
3. NUJS corp placements are great. However, as per the stats of the last 5 years, plenty of students (at least 1/3 of every batch) from there have chosen alternate career options. For example, NUJS alumni account for the highest number of domestic law teachers in India of all NLUs. NUJS has also steadily produced a trickle of enterpreneurs throughout the years. However, the strength remains corp placements, you got that right, with a regular number of TCs too.
4. NLIU Bhopal career options include government jobs too. The number of NLIU alumni who are in house counsels in India is also substantial.
5. NLUJ has had comparable domestic placements with NLIU and on its good years, even NALSAR. They do produce regular TCs, but not in any high number for it to be considered their 'strength'. No NLU can boast of that, since less than 3% of a batch ends up getting those.
6. NLUD alumni also engage in litigation extensively and are doing rather well, with quite a few having opted for domestic academia too.
7. GNLU's placements have lately been great and in this year, it is as good as if not better than NUJS'. However, they have also won several Rhodes in the last few years and their litigation fellowship is a very nice opportunity for recent grads. They also have in-house entry via Adani etc. and the Gujarat connection.
