RML seems to have become strangely invisible in conversations around NLU placements. Other NLUs seem to have a much stronger recruiter/alumni ecosystem and far more discussion around their placement outcomes, while at RML there is barely any clarity about what's actually happening.

I don't even know how many students from the 2027 batch have secured placements/PPOs so far. I’ve also heard that the RCC did not even start mailing firms for Day Zero until the end of July. If that is true, that seems deeply concerning for this batch and the upcoming batches.

Is the problem the administration? RCC? Alumni who aren't doing enough to bring recruiters back? Faculty? Students? Or has RML simply lost its standing with recruiters and the broader NLU ecosystem?

For a university that is supposed to be one of the established NLUs, why is nobody really talking about RML anymore? What exactly went wrong and does anyone have a realistic picture of the current placement situation?

RML has been around for nearly 20 years now. We keep hearing about the “alumni network” but can anyone even tell us how many RML alumni are partners at established firms today? and what are they even doing to bring internships and jobs to campus? Other NLUs seem to have alumni actively opening doors for their students.

Exactly, there’s also this misconception outside RML that everyone here wants to do judiciary/UPSC. That simply isnt true and I'd say around 40% of the batch is actively looking for corporate jobs. So the lack of a strong placement ecosystem directly affects a significant section of the batch.

It’s a pretty sad state of affairs, and students also need to take some responsibility for the lack of pressure and discussion around placements. If the reports about Day Zero outreach are true, it’s even more concerning. This really seems like a collective failure of the students, alumni, administration and placement machinery.

The administration is least concerned to be honest. All they care about is organising useless lectures and invite their worthless kins to appease them and share the same on social media. Hardly a couple of professors are actually interested and competent enough to teach their disciplines namely the criminal law and the corporate/trade law professor. The students have had an internal consensus for a while to seek internship and placement opportunities on their own but the administration is creating impediments in this structure as well by enforcing stricter attendance norms and cutting down on crucial interning months. The college was famous for having a relaxed curriculum which helped government exam aspirants but lately nobody has benefitted from the academic calendar overhaul. Gross incompetence on the part of administration.

(Suggestion as an insider) The upcoming batches at rml are doomed for sure. If you are a student writing clat please consider other options before opting for rml, nluo and rgnul have been much better in terms of placement.
