NLU Delhi’s 2015 batch saw 44 graduates getting placed out of the 56 who had signed up for campus placements, from a batch of 71. 15 out of 44 accepted offers were from the Big Six law firms and three students accepted offers from international law firms.

The biggest recruiter was AZB, who hired four students, followed by Trilegal (three) and TATA Power (three), while four students have opted to go for private litigation practice. The 44 jobs included five pre-placement offers (PPO).

Of the students who did not participate in the campus placement process, four students have decided to pursue LLM and three students have gone for judicial clerkships.

NLU Delhi’s overall recruitment performance didn’t change much since last year when 45 students had been placed, including 16 in Big Six firms.

In addition to the 44 placed graduates, six more graduates of the 2015 batch have received offers from various firms but are yet to communicate their acceptances.

Domestic Law Firms

17 domestic law firms made for the biggest slice of the recruiter pie, hiring 25 graduates. However, this is a drop from 2014, when 30 students from NLU Delhi went to domestic firms.

Foreign Firms

Three students have accepted offers at foreign law firms. All three offers were made through training contacts.

In house counsel

The number of NLU Delhi graduates choosing in house roles tripled since last year with nine students accepting jobs with companies, compared to last year’s three.

Litigation and Clerkship

Seven students opted to go for either litigation or a clerkship this year, again showing an increase from last year’s five.

NLU Delhi Class of 2015 complete placement figures

NLU Delhi in its press statement commented: ""The recruitment figures this year were beyond our expectations. We succeeded in getting almost the entire recruitment batch placed. This was, of course, supplemented by our students’ own efforts. So in that sense, we are happy that our batch continued to build on the good recruiting numbers from the previous year. Moreover, the profiles of all our recruiters was quite diverse this year and this, in our opinion, with us being just the third batch of NLU Delhi was quite encouraging, to say the least. And going by the performance of our 2016 Batch on their day zero, we believe these figures will only continue to grow in future.”

“None of this, of course, was a cakewalk. We worked hard and managed to invite some recruiters to our university for the very first time. Our university has been very supportive of us as a committee. We do not face any logistical issues so during the recruitment process itself, we never have had to deal with any last minute issues and we have always been well prepared. There seems to be an upward trend in terms of the job market. And we were fairly confident, right from the start that with the quality of students in our batch and the growing standing of our University at both national and international levels, we would manage to do well. And we have. So, yes. We are quite happy and satisfied with our performance.”

“The recruitment coordination committee for the Batch of 2015 consisted of Devika Nayak, Divyanshu Bhatt, Keerthana Medarametla, Pranshu Paul, Somil Kumar and Sucheta Roy.”
