50 Job offers were made to 46 students who participated in campus recruitment. Rejected offers included those from foreign law firm Ashurst LLP, Indian law firms Luthra & Luthra, Amarchand Mangaldas, Khaitan & Co, S & R Associates, Nishith Desai Associates, AZB & Partners and an Indian financial services company Polaris FT.
Students who applied independently were the only ones scoring jobs with foreign law firms and organisations. Off-campus, Herbert Smith hired three, while Allen & Overy and management consulting firm McKinsey & Company each hired two students.
Four others not participating in the RCC’s process were picked by law firms Khaitan & Co and Crawford Bayley and non-government organisations Teach for India and Centre for Social Justice.
The RCC bagged 19 pre placement offers (PPO) for this batch, while 6 PPOs were secured by non-participants.
Domestic Law firms
31 students were placed in Indian law firms.
Luthra & Luthra with 13 hires was the only double digit recruiter this time, Khaitan & Co coming in a distant second with five hires, and Amarchand Mangaldas with four.
Trilegal picked up three students, and S & R Associates engaged two.
Majmudar & Partners, Talwar Thakore & Associates, Nishith Desai Associates, and Crawford Bayley recruited one student each.
In-house
The batch saw six company hires.
ICICI Bank and PSU Steel-producer Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited made two offers each, both of which were accepted in each case.
Polaris Financial Technologies and NBFC IFMR Capital each picked up a student.
LLM
Rhodes scholar Vrinda Bhandari and Clarendon scholar Krishnaprasad KV geared up to enrol in Oxford University.
Two other students will pursue an LLM in University of Berkeley and University of Geneva.
Court-practice and others
While Bangalore’s batch of 2012 includes only six aspirants of the bar and one judicial clerk, six others are accounted for as taking various competitive exams.
One graduating lawyer from this year’s class is understood to be joining professional theatre.
The Law school’s batch of 75 students graduating last year plucked 63 desk jobs out of which 55 were in Indian organisations and eight were in foreign law firms Linklaters, Ashurst and Norton Rose, in addition to Herbert Smith and Allen & Overy.
Like last year, this year also the recruitment ratio tilted away from in-house positions and toward law firms. However, certain law firms which hired from the law school last year, did not figure in this year’s recruitment tables.
These included AZB & Partners, J Sagar Associates (JSA), Mulla & Mulla, Tempus Law and Tatva Legal.
AZB & Partners and J Sagar Associates (JSA) both picked up students from the second most-preferred (by CLAT aspirants) Nalsar Hyderabad and third most-preferred NUJS Kolkata, while Tempus Law hired from NLIU Bhopal this year.

It appears so, but the article doesn't say, so I thought I'd ask.
not 100%
46 out of 51 is not 100%.
[...]
"50 Job offers were made to 46 students who participated in campus recruitment." - This does not mean that offers were made to all the students, but to these 46. Total students who sat for the recruitment were 51.
Nopes.. So lets leave it at that
I agree. This is an important and the most objective figure - you already have all the data and it will stop people from senselessly starting law school fights (NUJS better than NALSAR etc)..
Also, can LI add a row to the table in this article, enumerating how many of the total students are not reflected in the table. This number appears to be 2 at NLS (including the theatre girl) and 22 at NUJS. Where are these missing people going?
Classes graduate in May/ June at most lawschools and are typically placed by January/ February, if not the previous year.
Or that person would have gotten into professional theater no matter where he had landed.
That covers the whole gamut, doesn't it? Would going to NLS restrict her repertoire to the tight-sphinctered pedant?
Take this for example: "NLSIU Bangalore’s graduating class of 65 this year secured 46 jobs across 18 Indian and foreign organisations, 12 of which recruited 35 students through the recruitment coordination committee (RCC)."
This is like WOW!
Congrats to NUJS btw. It seems to have outscored NLSIU and NALSAR in terms of placements.
How about you stop patronizing those around you by picking out perfectly correct sentences and spare yourself the embarrassment.
It simply means that recruiters preferred NUJS' students over Nalsar and NLUJ.
This whole law school brand is a massive myth - truth is, even if it does give you a slight kickstart, it's more important that you keep the job than get it. And once you're out, NLS and NALSAR doesn't matter because you are all in one ship.
Moreover, everyone in NLS, NALSAR and NUJS knows this deep down. If at all they indulge in this mudslinging, it's because people like you stoke the fire with callous, baseless and unsubstantiated comments like the one above. These institutions are proud of their standing and rightly so - it would make frequenting Legally India a lot easier if people stop having the SAME old argument on every single law school related post.
At work? Only a couple of douchebags really talk about how their college is better than the others. And nobody likes them.

Well said. This should be plastered on CLAT brochures henceforth, so that the 1st/2nd year students stop trolling online and do something constructive instead. Like study.

I agree. Prachi's writing leaves a lot to be desired. I'm sure she will do a fabulous job at the TOI if LI doesn't work out.
Must appreciate LI chose to publish such comments - which probably deserve to be blocked.

You might note the higher batch strength and number of people sitting for placements. That is a serious defining factor.
LKS - 1
Dr. Kainth & Associates - 1
Lodha Group - 1
You, sir, are a loser. Please go back to your forest and live your unimportant life and then die.
Its not even a tier 2 college. Bhopal and Gandhinagar are much better.
Yawn.
I mean you have covered all possible colleges but left out GNLU's statistics?!?

I agree. GNLU deserves a column in that table too!
