A total of 33 students participated in the still ongoing campus recruitment process, of whom 12 are still without jobs.
The result is an improvement for the recruitment coordination committee (RCC) over last year’s figure of 19 total jobs in a batch of 60, of which 12 confirmed jobs were secured for 31 RCC subscribers. Nine of those jobs had come in via pre-placement offer (PPO) with law firms, legal process outsourcers (LPO) and companies.
Law Firms
Trilegal, Acuity Law, HSA Advocates, Juris Corp, Khaitan & Co, Nishith Desai Associates, DSK Legal, TPM Solicitors & Consultants, Wakhariya & Wakhariya, PH Parekh & Co, and ALG India Law offices each recruited one student this year.
Research positions
Six students joined the law ministry in Chhattisgarh as legal research assistants while publication Taxmann India hired one student.
Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO)
Pangea3 hired one student while Quislex absorbed two students in Hyderabad.
LLM
One student was accepted into the LLM program of the University of California, Berkeley.
The RCC said that while three students will be writing the judicial services exam, five were interested in joining court practice.
The law school has faced location-related problems year-on-year with many recruiters not inclined to visit its campus in rural Abhanpur. Last year Pangea3 was the only recruiter to visit campus, while in 2011 three LPOs, two companies and a bank visited.
In the upcoming 2014 recruitments, two students were hired on the law school’s Day Zero this year.
49 organisations have so far been confirmed to have absorbed a total of 95 final year national law school students graduating this year. Nalsar has placed at least 66 students graduating this year, as reported by Legally India, while RGNUL placed 13 students.

1) Comparing NALSAR figures with the other two makes no sense.
2) HNLU has 11 firm jobs, 6 research, 1 LLM and 4 LPOs. RGNUL has 6 firms, 3 LPOs and 4 others. What the article does not report is that RGNUL has 3 LLMs and 1 research. If we remove 6 substandard research positions from HNLU, the actual number of placements is 16. Now, RGNUL has 17. The 1 research position from RGNUL is the All India Fellowship. If we compare the firms, RGNUL has 3 tier one, HNLU has 2. The other firms from HNLU are tier 2 (Nishith Desai) and some others. From the rest 4 firms from RGNUL, 2 are actually good (tier 2). So, overall, there is not much difference in firm placements.
Conclusion: When RGNUL placements came out, people reacted negatively. When HNLU's came out, they were OK. People, RGNUL is doing as good, if not better, than a 3 year older institution. Get your data right.
Seriously?
Are you kidding me. -.-
