CNLU Patna placed 11 out of 23 students who sat for placements in a batch of 64 graduates this year, while six students of the batch were recruited outside campus. The Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) sector claimed the maximum placed graduates.
Eight out of 17 jobs came from the LPOs Quislex and Pangea while two others were from Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas’ (CAM) volume business dubbed the transaction support group (TSG).
Wadia Ghandy, Ashlar Law and SB Partners, Advocates & Solicitors recruited one graduate each, and one graduate joined the in house department of Bajaj Allianz.
Three graduates joined the chambers of senior advocates in the Supreme Court and the Patna high court and an advocate in the Delhi high court.
Five students joined LLM courses at NLSIU Bangalore and the South Asian University while one will pursue an MA at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences.
Quislex was CNLU’s biggest recruiter last year too, when the batch of 2014 secured 17 jobs mostly through their own initiative.

Comments
Most of them lure students using the NLU tag (and thereby latch on to success stories of NLS/NALSAR/NUJS), but perform miserably when it comes to giving the right kind of exposure or placements when compared to other institutes like GLC, Symbi etc. Spreading the right kind of information about chances of getting placements etc. in a lower-rung NLU is necessary.
Nobody is forcing anybody to study at these NLUs. And since when have colleges started guaranteeing placements?
GLC placements start in September i believe, Kian you should cover them!
1. State of infrastructure
2. Placements
3. Faculty quality (why the best brains are not teaching at NLUs)
4. Poor state of LLM programmes and lack of research culture
You should get this published in Mint and then ask an MP to raise these issues during question time in parliament. The Law and HRD Secretaries have been sitting on their asses neglecting NLUs.
