NLIU 2012 batch: 31 jobs across Amarchand, ICICI, LPOs as judiciary proves popular

NLIU: Fairly satisfied
NLIU: Fairly satisfied
Exclusive: Around 50 out of 82 NLIU Bhopal students graduating this year participated in the campus recruitment activities, out of whom 31 found employment with recruiters led by Amarchand Mangaldas, two legal process outsourcing (LPO) units, a public sector undertaking, a private company and ICICI Bank.

It is understood that three to four out of the 50 placement participants are awaiting responses to Supreme Court judicial clerkship applications, while around 5 applied for LLM degrees.

Out of the 31 students with corporate job offers via the placement committee, Amarchand Mangaldas and ICICI Bank recruited five each, followed by four that were picked up by the LPO Pangea3.

Two students each were hired by Trilegal, Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan, public sector undertaking (PSU) Bharat Petroleum, and Clifford Chance’s captive LPO, OSC Services.

Phoenix Legal, PXV Law Partners, Majmudar & Partners, Desai & Diwanji, TPM Consultants, Link Legal, Tempus Law, Dave Girish & Co, and Indo-US insurance JV Max New York Life Insurance made one hire each.

Bajaj Allianz is understood to have shortlisted three candidates, although no offers have yet been made. Roughly 50 per cent of the remaining students that are part of the cell sat for various judicial services examinations.

Vinesh Chandel, student member of the university’s placement committee said: “With a placed percentage of 70 per cent, we’re fairly satisfied with the way the placement scenario has panned out. For the first time, our junior batch has had ‘Day 0’ of their placements in the month of April 2012. We hope that this experiment yields even better results.”

Graduating student Bishen Jeswant commented: “The PCC, especially Vinesh, has worked very hard and all of us are thankful to them for all the effort they’ve put in. NLIU has given us fantastic opportunities to find our calling over these years, and each and every student should be grateful to the institute for all that it has given us, culminating with a job for many in their final year.”

“It is also great to see that not everyone runs after a high-paying job, with many students writing the Civil and Judicial Services Examinations. Education from a premier institution such as NLIU puts us in a good position to contribute to growth of our country, and we all should ideally jump at this opportunity which is not available to most.”

At NLIU’s so-called day zero on 16 April 2012, Amarchand hired four and Trilegal two fourth-year students.

Khaitan & Co, which had hired six NLIU final year students in 2011 and three fourth-year students from the 2013 batch, recruited none from the 2012 graduating class.

Good to see that NLIU has been having steady recruitments every year. The recruitments are getting tougher every year with more national law universities being established. NLIU needs to maintain steady relationships with its present recruiters, especially with firms such as AMSS, Trilegal(their most steady recruiters) Khaitan where they have a good lobby (unfortunately they did not recruit from the 2012 batch but have from the 2013 batch). However, NLIU still has a lot of catching up to do when compared to the top 3 (NLS, Nalsar and Nujs) as the recruitments on Day Zero at these three are close to the overall placements at NLIU (I think on day zero in 2011 Nalsar placed 28 and Nujs 32 and am not even going into NLS figures as half their grads are placed in foreign firms).

AMSS only took 5? This is not good news. The number of grads from NLUs is increasing day by day but the jobs available are stagnant. Shame on SILF and BCI for opposing liberalisation but not creating enough jobs. Shame on UPA for the slowing economy. Better to shut the NLUs down and ask people to study engineering or management instead. No point paying lakhs of rupees if the majority will have to do low-paying jobs while families like the Sh****s keep getting richer and support licence raj in the legal profession. Also, the quality of education at most NLUs is substandard and does not justify the high fees.

Jobs at law firms/ corporate houses are not the sole methods of engagement for lawyers. There is always the option of going for litigation. Those worried about the high fee structure should try and show their conviction during the course of 3 or years of law school. In 99% of the cases most top 20 rank holders out of 80 odd in all of 5 primary national law universities are given offers by top tier firms (this is discounting those who among the toppers opt for higher education and litigation). Hence, the ones who are using loan to fund their education should be more serious. Students should also be prepared to join the bar. Many graduates from national law schools are doing extremely well in litigation. As far as high fee is concerned, please note that the high fee structure is pursuant to the 6th National Pay Commission decision of increasing the remuneration payable to those engaged in central government services which includes most national universities. This is very much required to ensure that teaching in law schools in India remains a lucrative option for those who wish to make a career is legal academics. Take NUJS for example. They have some very distinguished young professors and lecturers who are alumni of colleges such as Oxford, Kings, etc., have published papers in reputed peer reviewed journals, run some of the best legal blogs, write for financial dailies and to top it all even the students at NUJS have great respect for them.

You should see how NALSAR has revamped itself under the new VC Prof. Faizan, he has made the curriculum completely relevant to law firms and corporates and threwout many of the useless courses which cannot generate employment. NALSAR will overtake NLS very soon

GO read the N.A.L.S.A.R. UNIVERSITY ACT, 1998...What your VC is supposedly doing according to you is against your institutional Act. Section 4.

The situation at nujs is quite bad right now. The market is really down and a lot of people in the graduating batch are yet to be placed. Situation not so good in nls/nalsar as well who have also just about (just) managed to place all their 5th years. (unconfirmed)

Seems like dark days are ahead, the job market is completely stagnant. Oh when will liberalisation occour !

please try to report about the placements of LLM students from NLU's as well. Even if they are not getting placements then also report it. Helps prospective LLM students especially when CLAT has arrived.

NUJS placements this year are very similar to NLIU.. they have around 40-45 placements, but a larger batch.. so effectively the same.. which is not to doubt them cos they've had great placements over the years..

The placements have not been good at NUJS this year. All thanks to the most incompetent CRC in the history of NUJS. Placements at NUJS have come down from 75 to 50 odd. Hope with a better CRC in 2013 things will look up again.

[quote name="Placement Veteran"]What was wrong with the CRC in 2012?[/quote]

Basically, unlike Mittal and Co., CRC 2012 stopped making any efforts after the CRC members got recruited themselves. They placed a little more than half the batch in the beginning of the year (day zero) but only managed to secure a handful of low profile jobs subsequently.

The scene's worse for 2013 batch as you can infer from the recently published NALSAR and GNLU stats.

Did the batch react against such an attitude? Because we had similar issues in our batch as well in NLUJ....

I am disappointed with LI for ignoring the dark side of the NLUs. Only a handful are getting high packages right now because the Indian economy has stalled. Things will stay this way unless the economy is back on track, but that will not happen before 2014 elections and that too if one party gets 270+ seats, as Kaushik Basu recently said. Very sid that LI is givins such a wrong impression of recruitment. Maybe certain lobbies are pressurising LI not to give the true picture and mislead gullible class 12 students to give CLAT and join an NLU.

What is the situation outside the National Law Schools? Christ Law and Symbi Pune?

Christ Law did well last year with their first batch, so I'm curious to see how they did this year. Symbi has been falling steadily, so wanna know if they've climbed.

LI do report these two.

I didn't want to supply numbers in the previous post as that'd be unfair to the CRC. I hope you send out the official press release to LI and B&B soon. But you have to admit, it was a fairly unpopular CRC for the way it lost steam during the course of the year.

@Placement veteran - Some of us did grumble, but when the markets are tanking you take whatever comes your way. Beggars can't be choosers, you see. And just to clarify, the top 40-50 odd people in the batch got picked up by the usual tier I firms. It was the lower half of the batch which faced the music, as the CRC wasn't able to attract many tier II/III recruiters.
