25 Nalsarites accept jobs at six firms.
Improving on last year’s fourth year ‘Day Zero’ recruitment efforts, Nalsar Hyderabad placed 25 students from the class of 78 graduating next year in Amarchand Mangaldas, AZB & Partners, J Sagar Associates (JSA), Khaitan & Co, Luthra & Luthra and Trilegal on 27 April.
AZB & Partners was the largest recruiter with six accepted job offers, while Amarchand followed with five. Khaitan, Trilegal, and Luthra each recruited four students, and two students were hired by JSA. The figures were confirmed by law firms and Nalsar’s recruitment coordination committee (RCC).
A total of six offers were pre-placement offers (PPOs) made to students who had interned at firms, apart from JSA, which did not make any PPOs.
In total, firms made 28 offers, of which 25 were accepted, according to the RCC. A total of 35 shortlisted candidates sat for interviews on day zero.
Nalsar’s RCC commented in a statement: “This was the first time in the history of the university that we had six firms conducting recruitment on our campus on a single day.”
The RCC told Legally India that Day Zero was originally scheduled for 27 and 28 April, but the entire process was wrapped up on the first day. The RCC also said that this year it would go with a policy of allowing students only a one-time option of subscribing to the campus recruitment process until the end of their final year at Nalsar, to “avoid confusion”.
It was not able to confirm the total number of RCC subscribers this year at the time of going to press.
The RCC added in its statement:
“The NALSAR RCC and Batch of 2014 is deeply grateful to the firms as well as the university administration for ensuring the entire process was carried out in an extremely smooth and efficient manner. We are particularly grateful to the Vice Chancellor, Prof Faizan Mustafa, the Registrar, Prof Vijender Kumar and the Head of the Exam Department, Prof Dhanda, for helping us organise things smoothly. For their part, the firms were very cooperative and the process was, all in all, a success that exceeded our expectations.”
History and perspective
Last year, Nalsar was the first national law school to hold its Day Zero on 7 April 2012, but had managed no more than 15 job offers, while a 29 April 2011 Day Zero of the preceding batch had netted Nalsar 29 offers.
NUJS Kolkata clinched around 20 job offers for its class graduating next year on and after 30 April 2013, Legally India reported today without confirmation from NUJS’ RCC, which had cited their vice chancellor’s gag order against disclosing fourth year recruitment figures.
This year, NLSIU Bangalore fourth-year students secured around 24 jobs on their day zero, while NLU Jodhpur received 11 offers, according to their respective recruitment committees.

Comments
These English firms do not allow a vac scheme student to do a second vac scheme if the student has already done a vac scheme with another firm. Some people have attempted 2 vac schemes and it has led to embarrassment, when discovered. Tread carefully!
I actually think that the students who got the jobs deserve the credit. The RCC only facilitated it. Didn't take interviews for us.
Also, why the heck do they scream and shout when the food is being served during the regional fests. Calm Down kids! We wont get up any quicker for you.
Also, screaming at fests is fun. So is running for food.
[quote name="Iron Man"]I wonder if the patriotic, zealous and united batch of next year will be able to match this.

Please no one wants to hire hooligans. Screaming at fests and not having the courtesy to wait while someone finishes eating is the behaviour of animals. There was just another batch like yours - the batch of 2007. Bunch of losers and see where they have landed up.
[quote name="Puh-Lease- Dude"]Dont worry about us. We have a whole year ahead of us.

NLS is way ahead little kids.
It will serve you well to compete against the market of other law schools than trying to prove your worth against a batch from Nalsar.
Day zeros don't measure the worth of recruitments. Aim at getting everyone jobs.
1- getting a job in a firm is no measure of how smart you are. You dont need to be exceptional to get recruited. you NEED to be mediocre. That said, I dont mean that the current recruited students are mediocre.
2- Every year the market plays a major role in recruitment, not necessarily your individual caliber. My batch had more publications than any other batch, more internships, more knowledgeable but we still did not fare well in recruitment that year. It wasn't the RCC's fault or our fault. It was just that the market was highly unstable and we couldn't get placed as well as we had hoped.
3- Lastly, I dont mean to steal the credit from the current recruited batch. Its good that you have 25 people placed. But this can't be used as measuring stick to see who is better.
It is in your interest for your future recruitment that you dont bicker. Most of the HRs in firms read the comments and no one wants to recruit snobs. So enjoy the recruitment honeymoon and play it cool. Dont ask for recognition. More so, from your own college. That is poor form.
[quote name="NALSAR"]We are not trying to prove anything. If you read Kian's comment on the NUJS Day Zero article, you'll see that the current RCC was against releasing these figures.[/quote]
I though the worst year was for the class of 2009!
How come a whole lotta people from your batch got placed with English Firms (around 7-8 i think) if the market was bad? Bad markets have always hit the western economy worse than India.
How come Amarchand, Luthra et al have hoards of you guys?
Clearly the market wasn't at its usual wave.
[quote name="Guest"]I find it quite laughable when you say that 2008 was the toughest period for recruitment. Infact 2008 was the best time to graduate.I am from one of the later batches.. There were some 10 foreign placements alone. Top domestic firms like AMSS had to recruit students who I swear were good for nothing. So many of them had more than 2 job offers. Khaitan, I remember came for the recruitment, we juniors were stuffed into the seminar hall where they were giving their presentation, because the RCC coudn't find enough from their own batch interested to even watch them give their presentation...2008 batch, you guys were the luckiest lot! A lot of undeserving you still throng some of the best domestic law firms![/quote]
Please focus on your own recruitment. Day zero is the easiest part of recruitment. Last year the law firms stopped recruiting and a batch far far superior to you lost out. Don't compare numbers and say you are better.
ALL LAW SCHOOLS POSTED WEAK NUMBERS ONAST YEAR's day zero.
But this year NLS has posted similar figures as you have. So don't be flattered that YOU HAVE pulled anything off.
All these things depend on the market. And when our time comes, if the market is with us , we will fare well. If it is not, I'm sure my batch has enough intellect to find something and keep themselves occupied.
Stop comparing yourself to your juniors or your seniors. You've had a decent day zero. PLAY IT COOL.
Don't make us spoil your party by telling you that the market clicked for you.
Peace out bro.
Peace out.
Sincerely,
The united patriots!!
Stop giving this markets-were-down shit. Admit that you screwed up and the fourth years did better!!
That said, NLS placed 22 people last year and NALSAR placed 19 on day zero.
[quote name="ABC"]Talking about comparing figures with NLS, even when markets were "down" last year, NLS managed to place 25 students last year, and you managed only 12. Were the markets not down for them?

Now shut the f up.
Khaitan also particiapted in NALSAR's day zero. Made 3 offers. Took 2 students. Not added in this list.
I think its about time we ended this. Its not getting you anywhere.

1- NLS is counting foreign firms also in its 25.
with foreign firms NALSAR would have placed around 26 on days zero.
2- The NALSAR Article doesn't have figures for Khaitan which took 2 candidates.

NLS is counting Foreign firms as well for its 25.
Also, the list for NALSAR IS NOT COMPLETE. Why dont you refer to one of the more recent articles published?
Again, you dont score points by doing better than the previous batch or by challenging the next batch to do better. Grow up children. You have a whole year to go. And 40 odd students to place. Dont sully your recruitment by dragging it down with remarks like these.

1. The NLS article uses foreign firm numbers to boost to 25 where as NALSAR doesn't. If you count NALSAR'S 8 foreign firms then NALSAR is at 26 on day zero.
2. The NALSAR article doesn't count Khaitan which came on day zero and took 3 people.
So. Chill out. Hold yourself together.

19 JOBS on day zero and 29 before the end of 4th year for 2013 batch.
Also, it doesn't matter at all. The best students will always remain the best students.
Good show by 4th year but don't be oblivious to the fact that the market was on a rise this year and it wasn't last year.
I don't think we need to debate the merit of candidates who were not selected last year against the merit of candidates who got selected this year. That Would be bad taste and the united patriots have impeccable taste.
The flood of the market rise has managed to sweep you to party/ employed land. Good for you. Thumms up and all that.
And yes, the united patriots too will do well. Rest assured.
We will kick ass!!
But be clear- we will kick the asses of all other law schools.

Couple of corrections for the figures at NLS Bangalore.
1. Please add one PPO from SnR,
2. In internships contract at London, please add Linklaters as well.
HS gave internship contract to 3, AnO to 3 and Links to 1. One overlap between HS and AnO, which brings down the actual figure to 6.
Please change.

Kian, why have you not updated about SnR PPO at nls yet?
But yes, in terms of getting into controversies and fighting with locals, NALSAR is way ahead. Congrats on that front.
Talk about fights with locals- haha
[quote name="wise man"]Here is the main question we should ask: Since NLSIU is a decade older, has NALSAR reached in 2013 where NSLIU was in 2003? Answer: NO.

...erm, wise man, I hate to burst your bubble, but at least the NALSAR admin have the integrity to stick by their students when they are victimised. Need I remind you how the NLS admin reacted the last time one of their own was attacked? And if you're from NLS, then you must know exactly how friendly the students are with the locals (which is sadly not really, given how hostile the locals have been in the past- if you don't know what I'm talking about, you probably shouldn't have started on this).
I don't see why this had to become an NLS v. NALSAR thing at all on such insensitive terms, but hey, you started it. Is it in the culture of your esteemed institute to blame and ridicule women for being attacked?
Hope you dont want people to remind you what goes around Nagarbhavi Circle and the B'lore University Campus'.
I hate to put this out as a comment, but you guys have been more unfortunate with locals.
Why don't people stick to the discussion topic and start bickering all the time! My college better, you suck, why amarchand all the time, why no sundaram?, foreign law firms, no foreign law firms blah blah.
comments are the fun part of the article but I'm seriously getting bored of this sh.t.
If I was Kian, i would just hunt down all of your IP's, personally come to your offices or college and shoot your brain off for crapping over my website!
Back to my document fellas!
Peace out!
Anonymity really does bring out the uglier side of people. As a member of the batch of 2014, I apologize on behalf of my batchmates behalf (if indeed those posts were generated by them) for their indiscretions. I assure you that most of my batch (though I wish they'd be a little more vocal on this forum in reply to this enemy within) is a little aghast at some of the rubbish that is being said here. Whoever posted those statements is evidently a little carried away by the ecstasy of his situation.
@whoever's posting this: While I appreciate the batch spirit that you are currently intoxicated with, please stop sullying the name of the batch. Use your name for any further sentiment that you wish to express on this forum.

I agree with my fellow batch mate. Regarding third years - we share the same hostel, play together, watch matches in the common room etc. Above that we always helped you whenever you guys needed anything. We will never play you down its not batch of 2014, Bhaiya Gang, NAM Gang, Boycott Dhandha Gang, I hate SBC elections Gang but it is some scumbag who may or may not belong to batch of 2014 writing those comments.
Its really stupid for someone to write like this about their juniors.
Regarding batch of 2013 - We had our differences and I won't say you are a great batch but there are some great individuals in your batch.
LUTHRA - 5 PPOs (after pre-day zero interview) + 0 campus offers
TRILEGAL - 0 PPOs + 3 Campus Jobs (out of 3 campus offers)
JSA - 0 PPOs + 2 Campus Jobs (out of 2 campus offers)
Khaitan - 0 PPOs + 1 Campus Job ( out of 2 campus offers)

Total campus offers secured so far (excluding ppos) - 15
Total offers (including ppos, overlaps) - 26
i think day zero firms dont even go to nliu bhopal .. is this true ?
I think all of us are aware exactly how incrementally our colleges vary in quality. You are fighting a stupid fight. As for your recruitment, please thank your stars for your luck, congratulate yourselves on your smarts, congratulate the other guys for theirs and move the f--- on.
Kian thanks for these numbers. Very useful.
its a sorry state of affair in nliu bhopal. No placement at all in the college except few who have got placed at khaitan and amarchand.
