HNLU has a lot of alums placed in extremely well-to do positions. If they could do it with a fraction of the resources the college possesses at present, I see no reason why the present batches would not get into similar positions. Hnlu peeps get jobs beyond AZB. So many of our seniors past and present have been placed in firms like Trilegal, SAM, CAM, JSA among others. Yes, a lot of credit has to go to their own efforts and hard work. However a lot of them landed that job because the RCC managed to laboriously mail these firms for internships in the first place (Exceptions do exist, not everyone gets a job due to the RCC). If they could do it despite the T2 tag, you could do it too.
HNLU is no decline as of now. To contrary, I believe the college is currently going through a really good period. Numerous moot wins and qualifications, mid rankers bagging great jobs, the 3rd and 4th years bagging really good internships with latter having started converting them into PPOs very recently. If they could do it, I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to do the same. Yes, the college has some problems; the admin being the biggest of them all. However, despite the structural limitations, the college seems to do well and possibly better in the future.
As someone who has close friends in the other T2s and in a few T1s, unlike a lot other colleges (especially in the T2 range), the senior-junior culture is largely healthy. There's a strong culture to get into corp across batches and its hard not to find someone who hasn't attempted to specialise in specific practice areas may it be disputes, gen corp, comp law, or even TMT. If they could do it, what's stopping you?
Choosing the college wouldn't necessarily meaning closing the doors on the onset, more accurately you leave the door ajar. The college gives you a few opportunities to work upon. To fully open the door, you'll have to work; sometimes you'll have to work harder than your peers in T1 NLUs to get the same opportunities. This is the sole reason why T1s are T1s, and T2s the T2s. The door is ajar, if you're smart about how you structure your academics, your internships, and ultimately your work ethic, nothing will stop you from opening that door. Countless alums have done it in the past, seniors are doing it in the present, and many will be doing in the future.
Light Lo bro
Anyways, do not give CLAT more than 2 to 3 years.
Try to get into some T1 from Vacancies because yes there is an opportunity gap between T1(s) and T2(s) when it comes to corporate jobs
On April 14 the SC Collegium recommended two women Advocates for Kerala HC. Need to see how things move from here.
any one can shed more light on the Culture, domain of work and hw much does the Job Pay ?
any idea about a company called Privacy Pillar that is Actively Hiring in this Sector?
- That gal or guy said that he was excluding founders, yet you have included them in your diatribe:
- You speak of T1 law firms. There are, by my count, 6 tier 1 law firms to which you might be referring. How many (non-founder) senior and managing partners do you think they collectively have who earn more than 10 crores a year, after tax? Yup, you guessed it, less than 20 to 25. The number should increase with each passing year due to the effects of inflation alone, if nothing else.
But that said , technical aspects like audio quality, notes, etc and varities of music has improved

40+ placed in T1s, 22 others placed at T2s and other places.
The batch of 2026 seriously underperformed due to a number of factors. Just one bad year doesn't really define a university
Also does Cam allow ppl to work in more than one practice area that are interrelated such as DT and PCP?
1. The Last minutes' gang -
A. Last minute dumping shit on you despite having that email rotting for maybe weeks and because you don't crack under pressure, but you come through at the cost of your health (especially hair) because you don't want to lose the job and the job now suddenly seems to be hinging on this very last minute but urgent task.
B. Selective amnesia: Doesn't communicate within the Partner circle for things that are only known to them and then last minute changes strategy and you end up doing the whole thing again, ruining your life and sleep just because that one assface didn't speak to the lead partner.
2. The "Give uper":
Sees that two partners (one whiney + banshee and the other absentee) are arbitrarily leading one matter, fails to even discuss the potential strategies with the SA-1 and A2 and simply literally raises hands and says I give up, ask the other guy. Lo-behold the team of various types of associates making strategies and formulating ways to save the client and taking to the lead who throws it back to the previous partner.
3. The Deadweight credit hogger:
Doesnt bring in clients and instead expects the associates to bring in the clients, do all the work, including ensuring the work is done perfectly because they won't do the review properly and then take a cut and credit for your work.
Om shanti. Peace and prayers for friends and family.
