A total of 8 students joined corporates (led by two students each joining Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company, ICICI Bank, and Vedanta; GMR and HDFC Bank each picked up one).

A total of 7 had joined public sector undertakings (including two on a one-year internship with National Mineral Development Corporation).

The RCC was run by students Rahul Joshi, Ritika Banerjee, Sadhika Gulati, Shubham Sancheti, Shubhi Goyal and Shreejoyee Bhattacharya.

Nalsar did not share final recruitments in 2018, but in 2017, Nalsarites had scored 100% jobs for 58 RCC subscribers (out of a batch of 74).

Shame that biased LI is blacking out news of JGLS recruitment when the figures for CAM and Trilegal have been even higher than Nalsar.

When JGLS has almost 200-250 students more per batch than Nalsar does, it's a little sad bragging about their placement figures.

Jindal only shared number of offers, as opposed to accepted jobs buddy. This post highlights jobs, not offers. Some individuals got as many as 5 offers, so best we don't compare.

Also, the percentage of students placed is dismal for Jindal. I'd be worried if I spent 35 L only to have the same number of offers as CNLU or NLUO ( Despite having double the number of students they have)

Disappointing figures. Miles behind NLSIU. If NUJS and NLUD had more foreign law firm offers then they are ahead, else NALSAR drops to #4.

Dear law aspirants, please note that NALSAR is NOT the second-best law school in terms of corp law placements/LLM offers. NALSAR's 33 Big 7 offers are behind NLSIU,NUJS and GNLU, and roughly at par (+/- a few offers) with NLUD, NLUJ, NLIU and Jindal. The LLM offers are also not worthy of second-best law school status.

Overall, the NIRF ranking was right in placing NLUD as 2, as NLUD edges out NALSAR (and others) in faculty and location. What Nalsar is known for is a strong human rights focus and left-wing orientation (as we saw with the Sadhguru incident).

Dear Law Aspirants, please note that the person above does not have sufficient knowledge to distinguish between last year's figures and this year's while comparing between law schools' recruitments. Listen to his advice only after discounting for that.

BREAKING NEWS: India Today has released a salary ranking plus overall law school ranking. But the overall ranking requires paid access. Can someone please share?

I think the salary ranking is is misleading as some NLUs did not participate and BHU/AMU gave fake figures.

A big slap to haters of Lloyd College. Lloyd College has proven itself to be one of the top law colleges of India. CLAT takers, if you don't get NLS, you should consider Lloyd. Kudos to dynamic Principal and other faculty members.

Apart from NLSIU and NALSAR, no NLUs got more than 1 LLM offer from the Big 4 (Oxford Cambridge, Harvard, Yale).

If you are referring to the 2019 batch, then from NUJS alone, there are at least 3 students going to one or other of the 'Big 4'. I suggest you do better research if you are going to compare, otherwise just keep quiet and don't embarrass yourself.

NUJS 2019 Batch has got a Rhodes scholar. Not too shabby, I believe. Plus there are at least two others going to the places you have mentioned. At least 3 alumni from 2016 and 2017 batches have got Harvard for the 2019-20 session. Seven others have got full scholarships to ivy league colleges or equivalent that I'm aware of. Your ignorance is as great as your delusion it seems.

Surprising that the VC of a national law school like NALSAR has such obscurantist views on socioeconomic topics. Check out VC Faizan Mustafa's views in a column he writes for the Indian Express.

Don't understand why this has to become a measuring contest when it's only a job - Nalsar offers one the satisfaction of knowing they can take up a corporate offer or work towards something different, and that's mostly what all Nalsar peeps find pride in. I'm sure the scenario is the same for the top three or four colleges, with NLS being slightly better because of age and culture. But there's barely any difference between student quality among nalsar, Nujs or nlud, so there really isn't any point in fighting over things as trivial as job offers to Freshers lol

NUJS people are the biggest hypocrites. I saw the hard copy of the issue You got second rank in overall ranking + salary rankings behind NLSIU. But that is because other NLUs opted out. You people complained against India Today and boycotted it when they ranked you low, but now it suits you to end the boycott and steal second rank to misguide CLAT aspirants and parents. SHAME ON YOU!

You do realise that students don't have any say to whom the university administration would provide details, right? Students are the ones who had boycotted India Today and Outlook earlier and you won't find the students or anybody else for that matter to rejoice about this ranking either. We all are aware of the faulty metric. Incidentally, the same applies for NIRF too. We really don't care about rankings. We would rather spend our time trying to help our fellow students who come down here in search of a good legal education and career. People who shout about rankings, boast about their own ranks or provide false info to get ahead on rankings are usually the ones with the biggest sense of insecurity.

Juveniles, listen - If an aspirant is looking to join a university because it will have better placements and if a parent wants to send his kid to a law school or any other college/ university for future placements, then instead use that course money to open up a shop. Trust me, it will have a better equity results.

This is not you investing in a company, brah! At 22/ 23 if this is what your mindset is - no one, NO ONE, can help you. Come to the real world where there is no campus, no college and only work.

Also, corporate law is a very small world and mostly repetitive. A CA is better at structuring because she/he knows tax, a CS is way better because she/he knows Companies Act (I have seen you'll fighting here, for God knows what supremacy, not knowing the basics of Contracts Act and Companies Act), a litigator is way better in interpreting an agreement, knowing procedural law and in arguments. What, even in the most complex structure, is left for you to do? Copy & paste without applying your mind and follow up for CPs and closings.

You know why corporate lawyers never become entrepreneurs? Because these are the guys who join law school to get a high paying job and not create one. Grow up, come out of the well and see the world - else, you will always work for others who joined a college/ profession with the aim to learn and not earn.

Guys, pls see the public's review of Nalsar in Google. Sadhguru fans downvoted it to 1 star, LOL. Some comments:

[i]I have given one star because google doesn't allow me to give less than that.
It has produced some of the most dumbest students ever. Even students of primary schools would have more patriotism that these guys. They are producing anti nationals.
They want you to accept their opinions blindly.
[/i]

[i]Anti National University. Filled with urban naxals influenced young adults.
NALSAR should be changed to NAXALS University.
[/i]

[i]Anti - Nationals with 0 logic and brains[/i]

[i]if u wish your child to be a good human being. . don't send him here. ..india doesn't need such crop or educated supid youth who don't have basic sense of morality. this university is failing to teach them these things.[/i]

[i]This university is full of thickheads. Don't send your children here. Worst univ. ever. I will never hire a lawyer from Nalsar.[/i]

Everyone needs to just get a life.

All the National Law Schools have their pros and cons. Each one is doing well for themselves and improving every year. One should be happy that other law schools and colleges are improving and the field of law is getting better individuals from all colleges. But this does not mean that the top universities are not good anymore because others are getting better.

They still produce quality students. As far as rankings go, they can be thrown in a shithole because it doesn't matter. If a law student is good, then in today's world, having worked both in law firms and in-house, college may give you an advantage of only earning a first glance, but if the resume or interview does not impress, even if you're from NLS or NALSAR, you will be surpassed by a student who maybe from an unranked college for all that matters.

All law schools are reporting excellent numbers, students of all law schools are getting into top universities for Masters, earning jobs abroad, clearing US Bar exams and what not. And instead of appreciating what 'Indian' law students are achieving nationally and globally we assholes comes down to 'Oh shoot, India Today has ranked us blah and fucking blah'. Who the hell cares.
