NLU Jodhpur has already placed 32 out of 103 students who will graduate the LLB degree next year, including three foreign firm vacation schemes.
12 of those jobs were sealed during the 2 April ‘Day Zero’ of recruitment at the law school, and 2 more jobs were accepted after Day Zero.
Luthra & Luthra with 6 pre-placement offers (PPOs) and 2 day zero offers, was the leading recruiter among the seven firms and one company, which have already hired from the law school.
The others were Trilegal, Khaitan & Co, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, Jyoti Sagar Associates (JSA), Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan, Majmudar & Partners and Wipro Technologies.
Out of these, Trilegal hired 6 (with an even split between PPO and Day Zero), while Khaitan & Co picked up 5 NLU Jodhpur candidates via PPO.
| Recruiter | Total jobs | PPO | Day 0 | Post-Day 0 | Vacation schemes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luthra & Luthra | 8 | 6 | 2 | ||
| Trilegal | 6 | 3 | 3 | ||
| Khaitan & Co | 5 | 5 | |||
| Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas | 4 | 1 | 3 | ||
| Majmudar & Partners | 2 | 1 | 1 | ||
| J Sagar Associates (JSA) | 1 | 1 | |||
| Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan | 1 | 1 | |||
| Wipro | 2 | 2 | |||
| Herbert Smith Freehills | 1 | 1 | |||
| Linklaters | 1 | 1 | |||
| Allen & Overy | 1 | 1 | |||
| Total | 32 | 18 | 9 | 2 | 3 |
International firms Herbert Smith Freehills, Linklaters and Allen & Overy each offered one vacation scheme, of which Linklaters has already converted its offered scheme to a training contract.
A total of 13 offers were made on Day Zero, while 2 more offers were made and accepted after Day Zero by Wipro Technologies.
25 students from the batch graduating in 2019 appeared for the Day Zero.
Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas (SAM) was missing from the mix. SAM could not roll out final offers despite participating in Day Zero because it did not have internal approvals to do so, RCC members told us about having been informed about this by SAM’s HR team, just like in the case of NLU Delhi more than a week ago.
NLU J scored 6 more jobs this year than in last year’s Day Zero.
NLU Jodhpur also outperformed NLU Delhi this time in terms of total Day Zero jobs despite holding its Day Zero more than one week after Delhi.
Comments
L&L ends up with seemingly more people NLU-J, in comparison to NLSIU/NALSAR as students from those institutions invariably chose a different firm.
However, if 1.1 does have some inside info on hostility inside the firm to non-NLU-J people, then that is a matter of concern.

It isn't really about competing for the same jobs, as then - I would assume - they would hate their own batchmates as much. Maybe they do and I am unaware of it!
What causes this tribal mentality? Does this affect their social circles, job environment, and maybe upward mobility in career (in the long run)? This is certainly something an anthropologist could be interested in looking into. Their are similar studies going back the years from England and USA (that I am aware of).
is it reserved only for GNLU & CAM + Khaitan?
So, at the risk of feeding this troll, let me just quote your pro-GNLU comment on the NLU Delhi Day day zero story, that you made a few hours ago:
"8. The administration, despite all its perceived evils and inefficiencies, does the job of maintaining good relations in high places. (Urijit Patel lecture, Banking conference that had Rajiv Kumar (Niti ayog), Shaktikanta Das (retd senior IAS - modi man) and few other important people. All these people coming down to a place like Gandhinagar. CAM and Khaitan have established chairs in the university. The director is a member of law commission and also the national security advisory board - Which other nlu vc/director have such sort of power and reach? Seems to have the support of the prime minister."
As far as I know, Luthra is not sponsoring a research chair at NLU Jodhpur, so there's your answer (or at least we've never reported on that, unlike at GNLU where we ran a big story about CAM obviously investing in GNLU students (and indirectly in future GNLU recruitments) with its ethics chair).
Nuff said. Chill out. Let it rest.
Also, it would be heartening to see kian write [b]"GNLU Gandhinagar also outperformed NLU Delhi this time in terms of total Day Zero jobs despite holding its Day Zero more than one week after Delhi."[/b] in his article on GNLU day zero. Will be watching the narrative you adopt Kian.
For purposes of comparison:
[b]GNLU Day Zero 2018
[/b]
Acceptances/offers + PPOs
CAM 9/9 + 4
Trilegal 3/9 + 1
Khaitan 2/2
Luthra 2/3
SAM 0/0 + 1
S&R 0 + 1
AZB 0 + 1
Total offers: 23
Total jobs: 16
PPOs:8
[b]Total Tier 1 firm placements: 24[/b] plus 1 vacation scheme.
(SAM to give its offers at a later date, though out of the 5 interviewees, 4 already have jobs in other tier 1 firms)
But what is more shocking is tat SAM hasn't recruited from NLUD, NLUJ or even GNLU. . Kian from what I have gathered from recruitment members of different law schools there is some internal shir happening at sam which affected their recruitment this year.
What does this mean? Will they be rolling out the offers later? What sort of participation did they have on Day Zero? Did they come down to campus, take interviews and then say that they did not have the approvals to make offers?
This makes no sense!
