NLIU Bhopal has placed 25 out of 78 students (40 sat they say; which clearly is fudged)
Which college has a better recruitment?
And then some 'national' magazines put NLIU Bhopal over NUJS!
We haven't heard half the names in there. NLIU and NUJS are failing and we're not bothered by their rankings anymore.
[quote name="ABC"]Check out the NUJS stats on Bar and Bench, "Research assistant with Mr. X", 9 in Litigation, CLAT Coachings, etc. Seriously NUJS, you think you can fool other National Law Schools?

At least, NUJS reports the number of people who have been recruited, and not the number of offers like NALSARats have done this year. Nalsar people got recruited by AP Metropolitan Water Board (Seriously?), CKR Associates, Credence Law Associates. Well, I was expecting Sulabh Shauchalay also. Maybe next year it would be right up there!
Let us not belittle other people's work, because even if you didn't intend that, your words certainly implied that.
I hope you're not the sort who doesn't value his domestic help Mr.ABC- cause your message makes it seem like you're the sort who revels in looking down on people.
The list is supposed to indicate the people, the RCC helped get jobs.
Many students genuinely prefer litigation - some of the toppers of the batch opted for it and didn't sit for recruitment. This is verifiable.
Look at the law school from which the top 6 law firms hired the most. It is NUJS. I am afraid that is what counts, not your lack of knowledge of name of law firms.
Why are you SOOO jealous?
Amarchand-13
Herbert Smith-2
Allen & Overy- 2
ICICI-3
SEBI-2
Wipro-2
Anand and Anand- 3
Trilegal-2
JSA-1
NDA-1
P & A (highest paying domestic law firm)- 2
and a lot more!
LLM-6 (including NUS, Oxford and CLAT NLUs)
Lakshmikumaran and Shridharan-1
KG Bhagat and Co., New Delhi- 1
Shortlisted for Judicial Clerkship at SC- 12
So, that makes it 33 in total!
second, all law schools have started to hit the ground.Getting a job a big shot corporate law firm is not every thing. the standard of education is simply pathetic. There is something really wrong and we should do something abt it.
