NLSIU Bangalore placed all 54 graduates who opted for campus placement in its class of 71 students who graduated in 2015. The Big Six firms took away more than half of the recruited graduates.
Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas – or erstwhile Amarchand Mangaldas’ Mumbai and Bangalore offices – was the biggest recruiter out of 21 recruiters this year, hiring 12 graduates.
Foreign law firms Allen & Overy and Herbert Smith also hired four graduates.
33 of the 54 total jobs came through last year on Day Zero.
Five graduates, including Rhodes scholar Mansi Sood, will pursue an LLM and two will join judicial clerkships.
The overall trend at the law school went upward from last year, when 42 students were placed including 21 in Big Six law firms.
The recruitment committee consisted of Jinal Dadiya, Supriya Ramanathan, Divy Tripathi, Advait Nair, Anurag Mohanty, Jahnavi Venkatram and Bhoomija Verma.
Nair commented on behalf of the committee:
I believe that we were able to hit our 100% target this year due to the exceptionally strong performance on Day Zero, by the end of which 36 students (including those placed at international law firms) out of 54 were already recruited. This allowed us ample opportunity to make available to the remaining students, recruitment possibilities at a far wider range of organizations including banks, tech startups and infrastructure and telecom companies.

Kian it is time you think twice about merely reproducing press releases and ignoring deeper problems. Please stop judging law schools only by student achievements. You use these to breed unhealthy competition between students and make them fight on LI's message board. As a result, the issues that really matter are forgotten.

You are an embarrassment to your (very nice) college. Have you ever heard a Jodhpur person get angry wondering whether NLIU is better or not? Free advice: calm your tits and ignore anonymous, credibility-free comments on LI. Your insecurity is hilarious.
I hope jodhpur's incompetence doesn't reflect in your potency! :*
[b]Fast forward to the present day[/b] ... NLUJ has gone from strength to strength – the campus and infrastructure are simply IMPRESSIVE. The infrastructure and greenery/landscaping made me rub my eyes and pinch myself when I visited my alma mater last year. My juniors are achieving way more than we managed and are a terrific bunch. [i]Res ipsa loquitur.[/i]
To put things in perspective, it is relevant to mention that I was placed with a Magic Circle firm (along with a few others) and 10 of my batchmates were placed with India’s top firm. As far as competitive environment goes, again, [i]res ipsa loquitur[/i].
I suggest you re-think and reflect dear "?". If I may offer one word of unsolicited advice, you will be better off if you focus on your own development and achievements instead of slinging mud at the competition / jumping to rebut whenever someone says something against your college or in favour of another college. Just chill about these things.
Before I forget, it is in extremely poor taste to sling mud at another institution and it also reflects on your own alma mater.
All the best. Don't bother to reply since I am not a regular on Legally India.
If BJP was good at giving high profile jobs to lawyers, we would not be spending our time on websites such as Lawctopus and Legally India looking for guidance. We would have just joined the party instead, wouldn't we?

*waits for someone to say "proximity to the airport"*
I laugh at you all fighting like kids over which is the better NLU.At least in IITs we don't have any such feeling.Once an IITan,always an IITan.The older IITs are the mentors to the newer ones.And,we never talk on these childish talks.Let me tell you guys,what a IIT,Guahati Mechanical gets in middle rung companies,only the toppers in NLS,Bangalore can dream of.Relax dudes.Grow up.
Would like to quote from one of the earlier contributors

Now decide if you still think I am an imbecile.Cheers!
Out of curiosity, what does an "IIT, Guahati Mechanical" get from the middle rung companies? In the domestic market, top lawyers start at 15 laks+. If all middle rung IITans at new IITs get as much, I wonder why top IITans go to IIMs given that many IIM graduates get as less as 8-12 lakhs.

Grossly incorrect. I spoke to my in-law, he's an IITian from IIT Chennai who said that firstly average salary for Computer Science / Electronic stream (20% of each batch) from one of the premier IITs (Delhi, Powai, Kanpur) is @ Rs 12 lakhs CTC is 2-3 times higher than the average. Even this 12 lakhs is due to few foreign offers that boost the average. Secondly these figures are CTC and true salary is about 25% less if you remove the non-cash sops. Thirdly, the newer IITs have no placements worth mentioning except what students achieve on their own, much like the newer law schools.
Students of Mechanical / Civil / Aerospace and other "lower" streams in any of the IITs are lucky if they get a job that pays Rs 4-5 lakh CTC. The proportion of unemployed IITs is much more than unemployed LLBs from the NLUs

But yes I admit that faculty is important and Legally India should have a faculty ranking also. I do not know why Legally India does not do this. This is very important in US law school rankings.
