[Correction] NLU Jodhpur: 49 final years get jobs, as 4th years place 14 on day zero

NLU Jodhpur
NLU Jodhpur

Amarchand Mangaldas, Trilegal and Majmudar have hired 14 fourth-year students from NLU Jodhpur, as the final year has seen 45 41 job offers for 51 52 campus placement participants.

NLU Jodhpur student Alimpan Bannerjee has clarified that out of the 45 job offers the institute had earlier mentioned as secured, 5 offers were secured outside the campus recruitment process.

The top recruiters of the 2012 graduating batch were Amarchand, which made nine offers, followed by Luthra & Luthra with six offers, Trilegal with four, and Majmudar and PXV Law Partners who recruited three students each, confirmed NLU Jodhpur 2015 graduate third-year student Alimpan Bannerjee.

An additional pre placement offer (PPO) from WTO Consultants, was also secured through campus.

6 out of 52 campus recruitment participants secured offers by applying independently. Out of these two were from DSK Legal, and an offer each from Economic Laws Practice (ELP), Classis Law, Tuli & Co and Karanjawala & Co.

2 students who did not sit for campus recruitment, also secured independent job offers from Brain League and Rajeshwari Associates.

Three Five students will be going for an LLM degree while the rest of the batch would be doing judicial clerkships, litigation and civil services exams.

Last year NLU Jodhpur placed 56 students with law firms and companies out of a batch of 87.

The fourth NLU Jodhpur fourth years placed 14 on its first day of recruitment with Amarchand, Trilegal and Majmudar, said Bannerjee.

NLU Jodhpur’s so-called “day zero” follows those of Nalsar Hyderabad, GNLU Gandhinagar and NLIU Bhopal, where a total of around 40 job offers were made.

The post talks about job 'offers'.

While for other colleges (NLIU Bhopal, NALSAR) etc. you might have written about job 'acceptances'.

This creates uncertainty.

Lets say 15 job 'offers' were made. 10 by Amarchand. 5 by Trilegal.

The 5 students 'offered' jobs by Trilegal were also there in the Amarchand list. Lets assume all 5 took Amarchand.

Therefore, total placements were actually 10 not 15.

Placements committees might mislead you that way.

I think NLUJ is committing wilful fraud.

Kian, didn't this round of recruitment take place last year? These are the figures for the batch graduating an 2012 (as correctly reported in the article). However, the day zero recruitment you are referring to at Nalsar Hyderabad, GNLU Gandhinagar and NLIU Bhopal were for the 2013 batches. The comparable recruitment figures for the NLU-Jodhpur 2012 batch would be last year's figures from these other universities.

Your article gives the impression that this recruitment round at NLU-J is fresh news. I don't believe it is. Also, considering that recruitment has gone rather badly at other universities so far for the 2013 batch, this makes it look like NLU-J is bucking the trend. These figures are not evidence of that.

The so-called 'Day Zero' was also the end of the placement week...that is, the pre-vacation placement week.

Quite disappointing actually. A lot of the firms which had confirmed that they would be participating just didn't turn up. So a bunch of fourth years were left stranded in the desert for another week with nothing to do but partying.

Sad times they were.

Agree partly with comment # 2 but these figures are still not good enough. Most have not got high packages. All the NLUs are facing a job crisis. Since the Indian firms are not creating enough jobs the government must take the initiative. Either allow more FDI into India or create lots of public sector jobs for lawyers. Remember that a whole bunch of grads from new NLUs will come up in the next few years. They have paid lakhs in fees but nobody will hire them. Hundreds of careers are in jeopardy unless the
government steps in and does something. Would request all the law students to unite and petition the goverment.

The number of people who sit for placements vary across firms. The number never went beyond those mentioned in the article. These are authentic figures, I can vouch for it having followed the process very closely.
Any wild accusations must substantiated which clearly is not the case in the present case.
Any attempts to tarnish the achievement is futile.

In spite of the market conditions NLUJ has consistently come up with good placement figures, and a lot of credit for it must go the RCC.
There are two batches in question, the batch of 2013 is the one mostly hit by the market conditions but batch of 2012 still has very impressive figures.
I do not detect any anomaly, having spoken to few of their 5th years I know for a fact that only 5-6 of them couldn't get a job from college, rest mostly got recruited.
I would urge people to check their facts and be more responsible before making allegations.

Whoever wants to make allegations against the RCC should be more careful as a lot of work that goes in to get people jobs which impacts their lives. I personally knew members of this years' placement cell and they did a really good job getting in firms and companies which never had visited campus before. The numbers add up as far as I can see I know of 5 people who did not get placed so any claims of fabrication seem to be either from somebody who believes the grapevine or is frustrated at the lack f placements in their own college.

@17 - get your facts right ... the total no. of student in the batch of 2012 are 82 ... and the intake isn't 120 its 100 .. that is if you know the difference between these numbers .... which is highly unlikely with all the misappropriation by administration taking place in your campus ...

I'm curious about something. While usually when the recruitment scenarios in NLSIU, NALSAR or NUJS are reported, the number of students who've opted for placement comes close to the total batch strength. This appears to be real enough, since not too many NLU-grads opt for litigation/academics etc., only a minority from each batch. However, this report states that only 51 students from NLUJ had opted for placement. Was the batch strength so low, or is this another trend of NLUJ wherein greater percentages of students are opting for career paths other than law firm jobs?

Even in Nalsar, NUJS and NLS, about 20-30 students sit out of placements every year..

I can assure you that the number in NUJS and NALSAR at least for the past 4 years, has never been as high as 30 students. If any report says that, it has to be an attempt to dilute the gravity of increasing number of students unable to be recruited from campus directly.

If you read the latest reports on LegallyIndia, it says everyone who sat for recruitment in NALSAR got recruited.

That isn't ridiculous?

Similar statement has been made by NUJS RCC.

Everybody who sat for recruitment is not the same as everyone in the batch. Typically, 50 odd students of the 80 odd batch "sits" for recruitment. The reason is simple. 30 odd do not want jobs!

This is a trend across law schools where 50-60 of a batch sit for placements rest opt for alternate career options like litigation, higher studies, ngos, UPSC,clerkships etc nothing peculiar to nluj at all.
And FYI

I can assure you that the particular numbers quoted exclude the people having received PROs...I repeat, in NALSAR and NUJS at least, such a great number of students never opt out of the placement process in the beginning. Some do, certainly. It is only when the rest realize that campus recruitment may no longer be possible that they opt for other courses and that is represented by CRC concerned as having not appeared for placement at all. If you ever get the names of those 21 students from NALSAR or the 22 from NUJS and check whether some of them had obtained PROs or some had appeared, albeit unsuccessfully, for other interviews or submitted their cvs at least, will you realize the true situation. This is not, however, an attempt to blame the CRC-s concerned. Simply, the dire truth that these universities, once boasting of 100% recruitment, can no longer do the same. Instead of brushing the problem under the carpet, it should be recognized and solutions ought to be sought.

With respect to the two law schools mentioned at least, yes I would. Once again, let me reiterate that the apparent disparity in numbers is not confined only to NLUJ or a single law school for that matter. Nor do I wish to represent that the RCC or CRC or any of its counterparts is not doing its job. I'm merely referring to the statistical manipulation that is ignoring the market-related problem instead of trying to solve it.

See its a little difficult to follow anonymous advice on LI. MCS 310 you are welcome to come and have a chat whenever you feel like. I am always open for some constructive criticism.
Secondly, its absurd to expect "Student Infotech" to repair the net we are lawyers not engineers as far as I remember.
The Committee was formed by the VC to look after mainly the PR of the college.
Thirdly I just forwarded the figures and details after obtaining the full consent of the concerned members of the Placement Cell.
I appreciate your advice and feel lucky to have well wishers. Its just that probably it would be better if given to me in person.

I repeat, let LI do some investigative journalism for a bit instead of merely relying blindly on figures supplied. Take the names of the 29 students who'd supposedly sat out of the recruitment process and check whether they'd submitted their cvs to the CRC for the process originally and you'd get my point.

I'm a fourth year. I'll gladly tell you my name too, if you so care to ask.

But the second year is not talking nonsense. RCC is always manned by those who are in the good books of Prof. Daga. I need not remind you of the culture of sycophancy that is unnervingly found among those that are close to our most incompetent faculty.

I remember the time the present fifth year students had shortchanged the whole of our batch -who so lovingly gave you'll a farewell- over semantics of when a student is considered a fourth year.

Stop talking bull just because you've got a job. There are others who might be put in bad light because of your mis-statements.

Very poor placements everywhere. The BCI must call an emergency meeting about this. Since they will not allow liberalisation, they should at least force these stingy Senior Advocates to part with money and create jobs in litigation. The top lawyers can create at least 10 jobs @ Rs 30k a month.
