NLU Delhi recruitment coordination committee (RCC) coordinator for the class of 2013, Devna Arora said: “The reason was that we wanted to avoid all kinds of clashes with the days zero of all other colleges. When we talked about this with the firms we were targeting, they agreed telling us that our advantage is that we are in Delhi.”
Arora told Legally India that NLU Delhi had rounded up on two possible dates for holding Day Zero initially – 12 May and 18 May, the latter looking more probable.
When NUJS also scheduled its Day Zero recruitment for 18 May, the firms NLU Delhi had approached informed the RCC that their recruiting partners will be headed to Kolkata, even though some people in recruitment will remain in Delhi and will be available for visiting campus.
Arora said that the top four to five recruiters had confirmed their intention to visit campus on Day Zero, whenever it may be held in the coming weeks. One top tier law firm is understood to have already taken written tests to shortlist candidates for the Day Zero interviews.
Based on the assurance of recruiters, and hoping to benefit from being situated in the same city as most of them, Delhi’s RCC decided to postpone the law school’s Day Zero to the first week of June.
“The idea was that being the first batch from our college to have campus recruitment, to recognize the fact that this is the first time we’re inviting firms, and we should be adjusting and accommodating. It is about building a long term relationship with these firms” explained Arora.
NUJS campus recruitment committee (CRC) for 2013 declined to comment on Friday’s Day Zero, when contacted this morning.
Comments
Moral of the story- discretion is the better part of valour and [...]. NLU, Delhi seems to have woken up late to the fact that they have "situational" advantage (and while you are at it, can you please tell these kids to use better lingo and call it "locational advantage", [...]).
Nice save, but the cat's out of the bag.
Recruiters prefer NUJS ANY DAY.
"The firms NLU Delhi had approached informed the RCC that their recruiting partners will be headed to Kolkata".
Wake up call for NLUD!
"Touch times"..TRY TO (for)FEEL THE STUDENTS.
This story is generally a pitiful attempt at eyeball journalism. Just encourages bad blood. Kian, why don't you review the content better before publishing? Such shoddy writing only hurts the feelings of students.
I have been waiting since 4 years, how much more do we have to wait now? 40 more years?
Last year, someone was claiming NLUD to be the best college in India within 1-2 years. What has happened to that claim?
May Soul rest in peace.
Legallyindia is the ToI of legal news. Most read, most condemned and certainly least moderated. Just as sex sells on ToI, anything to instigate the measuring-contest (evidenced by those crass kids from NUJS...how I've begun to detest that school because of their tastelessness on legallyindia!) sells at legallyindia. It gives in to the wants of the masses rather then attempting to set their own standards. Its certainly not The Hindu of legal journalism.
AND THAT'S WHY ITS NEWS. :)

This is the best comment I have read on legally India. Though I never comment on this site, I make an exception this time. I really like your analysis of Legally India. It is aimed at just getting maximum traffic by spicing up some senseless news. Sadly there seems to be no middle path in journalism, as is evident from your examples of the print media in India, which allows people to make money while delivering quality content to users..
@ Team LI - keep up the good work and keep reporting even gossip. Its all fun.
@ Critics - grown ups must not be idealistic fools. No media agency is free from vested interests, political or other pressure etc etc. Take the stories you don't like with a pinch of salt. If you feel a story is incorrect or biased, post a comment. LI's articles are often greatly supplemented by comments and insider info.
Add a little salt here too.
And I imagine you are an uncle who likes to read only serious black and white stuff. By all means, use the salt freely :P

Inexperienced/fake people?? At least choose your words carefully, PSYCHO!!. Most people are not as 'experienced' as you are. What these columns provide is sex education and there is nothing 'cheap' about it. Shove all the salt in the world in your rear and do mankind a favour. RIP
Secondly, I never said sex education is cheap, read the statement again.
Lastly, advising me to use salt here seems misplaced. Google the idiom: 'taking with a pinch of salt'. You might then understand the context.
AND Rest in Peace?? What were you thinking...NOT.
HAHAHA

ROFLMAO..I agree man..Watsa's column is not vulgar or cheap. TGLI is a creep thingy from Saudi Arabia.
While the best at NLUs may join Amarchand et all, the best in some of the non-NLUs join the Bar and the Bench. That's something that LI must shed some light upon.

Take GLC, for example on one of those counts - it is hard to get authoritative data on where exactly students go, because so few participate in the process. E.g:
http://www.legallyindia.com/201106072148/Law-schools/classical-recruitment-mix-at-glc-mumbai-with-bar-solicitors-llms-50-desk-jobs
We'll keep looking into this, and if there's a particular college you would like covered, why don't you make our life a little easier and get in touch with us, or let us know who is good to talk to there? We are actually quite friendly and not evil, despite often contrary assumptions. ;)
Best wishes,
Kian
I thought it was a rather interesting, unusual and relevant story.
A lot of eyes are on NLU Delhi, perhaps particularly for its location, VC and performance in mooting and elsewhere.
How the first batch to graduate fares in the recruitment stakes will obviously be interesting and indicative to most students at top-tier law schools, many aspirants, as well as recruiting law firms.
Happy to hear feedback and if you disagree.
@8.1... anon: I feel there's a compliment in there somewhere, but I'd also hope that LI often reports that which is important, rather than only that which is popular.
Best wishes,
Kian

There is. I still visit Legallyindia. I don't think it is possible to avoid crass capitalism anywhere, so while I don't adopt it, I cannot avoid it.
To be perfectly fair Kian, you have to cater to all sorts of consumers. Newspapers/media have long since become egalitarian and don't impose the morality of the select.
This is one of the most bizzare, absurd and ridiculous comment I have come across. How did u manage this? LI is trying to stoke rivalries between the NLUs..Do you work for INDIA TV to come up with such conclusion? What will LI gain from such an act and believe me LI won't/can't do anything of this sort.
People here may disagree and rant about their college being better but in my restricted knowledge, most of the students if not all, would favour liberalisation of legal sector. Fella, you need to stop boozin' while posting comments at the same time.
Kindly stop feeding your respective egos by making such negative comments against others.
NLU Delhi's first batch will pass out in 2013, there is no final year in the law school yet.
The coordinator for 2013 is talking about NLU Delhi's Day Zero - campus recruitment for the fourth year class.
Best wishes,
