In the top three law schools, the placement scenes are fantastic. 

In terms of placement, WBNUJS has been doing really well. In the past, it has received 100% placement (not inclusive of those who do not sit for placements). The graduating class of 2020 received offers for all 78 participants who participated in the recruitment process.

With 30 students taking Day Zero in NALSAR, a total of 28 offers were offered, with 17 being accepted.

Last year at NLSIU, 47 final-year students who opted for it were hired by 19 businesses. The average remuneration package was about Rs 18 lakhs. In 2020, 40 job offers were made during NLSIU's day zero recruitment, which set a record.

The average salary at each of the top three law schools is nearly identical. Domestic and international firms pay different amounts for traineeships, with the average foreign firm package ranging from INR 38 lakhs to 44 lakhs and the average domestic firm package ranging from INR 8 lakhs to 18 lakhs.

Also, it's not only about attending one of the top three law schools; possibilities abound and are available to students from all law schools. If you are dedicated and hardworking, you will find a place at the top.

PGDIE is one of the flagship courses of NITIE and getting admission in this course is very difficult. The cut-off of CAT is very high and if you can clear it, then you will have to appear for the GD-PI round. This round is very important and carries the highest weightage for your admission. 

There are several other factors that have an impact on the decision for your admission. It includes your 10th & 12th marks, your graduation marks, and any prior work experience if you have any. 

The chances are higher for the students who are coming from an Operations background. Even if you are a fresher from a mechanical or electrical branch, your chances of getting a seat will be much higher than the rest of the students. 

Considering all of the factors mentioned, your overall profile will be evaluated and a consolidated merit list will be prepared. For this year, the GATE score for PGDIE was 609 for General candidates.

My friend is currently studying in IISWBM, and according to his experience here are some crucial points you might need to consider to get a view:

1. IISWBM is an old B-school, but it used to be good only till 2010. After 2010, due to politics, the college has degraded from a Tier-2 B-school to a Tier-3 B-school.
2. In the current scenario, the bars are set very high with big competitors like IMI Kolkata and MDI Murshidabad. IMI Kolkata pedagogy is superb and industry inclined with their brand name so they started giving much better exposure and placements. And the placement at MDI Murshidabad is so good that even We School Mumbai, Lal Bahadur Sastri Institute of Mngt Studies can’t give.
3. IISWBM highly depends on IMRB Kantar and ICICI Bank for placements, and if they stop coming in the future the placement will be hardly 30%. PwC India and KPMG used to visit IISWBM but discontinued after 2015. Citi Bank ,IDFC, Infosys, EY, Deloitte, Standard Chartered, Nomura FinTech stopped coming to IISWBM since long back.
4. The curriculum at IISWBM is very outdated and keeps going on with no improvement and modernization. Even the semester results are never on time.
5. Never believe in their placement records as they will not show the pathetic condition they are in right now ( Currently hiding their Retail and Sports Department placement report), soon they may stop displaying their MBA placement reports too if this goes on.

At the end of the day, it is highly recommended to avoid joining IISWBM.

IGNOU is one of the reputed universities of India that provides all kinds of courses ranging from distance to online and offline. Hence, the question rests on what is actually the placement scenario of the university.

The prominent details regarding placements to be focused on are as follows.

Campus Placement Cell (CPC):

University has a campus placement center that acts as an epicenter for the entire process of employment-related activities.

• It ensures that the right candidate is made available with respect to a particular job description.

• It also provides support to companies in all possible forms like logistically and infrastructural resources.

• The prime-most method in which CPC helps is by organizing Job fairs, Campus drives, and recruitment drives.

• It is also planning to launch a training & placement portal on the Samarth platform. It will make the process of placements more channelized and updated.

Job Opportunities:

• As compared to the number of individuals that graduate from IGNOU, the placement percentage is quite less and not impressive.

• Very few students have got the opportunity for campus placements.

• The general view of many pass out students is similar in this case that placement options are almost negligible.

• There are certain courses where students have bagged good packages like B.A. (arts).

Once you get registered for the placement cell, you will definitely receive notifications but that too prominently for graduation courses, not for masters courses.

Alumni Distribution:

Although the alumni distribution of the university shows a varied sectoral range. The below figures justify the above fact.

• Engineering- 13%

• Business Development- 13%

• Operations- 13%

• Information Technology- 13%

• Education- 9%

• Sales- 8%

• Human Resources- 6%

• Finance- 5%

There have been IGNOU alumni in different companies, prominently in the IT sector like HCL Technologies, IBM, Accenture, TCS, Cognizant, Genpact, Wipro, Tech Mahindra.

IGNOU definitely is a sure shot option for studies and pursuing degrees but for placements, it holds a back seat. It can provide you the liberty to do a job and pursue a course, but it is a little inactive when it comes to providing good & decent placements. However, students have the option to opt for off-campus placements.

One of my friends got admission through CAT. He was initially on the waitlist but was eventually accepted. According to him the college itself was a fantastic experience. Here is some of the information I gathered from him, which might be useful to you.

• He received a CAT score of 99.4%. This led to him getting a call from NITIE.
• The GD and PI session was good. 
• In GD they mainly discussed topics related to current trends. In PI, he was asked about himself and his overall choices. Also, they did check his general knowledge.
• After getting admitted to NITIE, the first thing was getting to their allocated rooms.
• Getting accustomed to the academic rigor was tough.
• He also participated in competitions, winning a few.
• He got an internship with a large FMCG company. It was an excellent learning experience. Seniors helped him in getting his first internship.
• The internship was very helpful and enriching. But he also mentioned that if you do not work hard, your career can go downhill.
• It is a good place to start for people interested in the supply chain.

Finally, he mentions that his life at NITIE was really exciting. He got to learn about the real dynamics of business and the corporate world. It groomed him to be a confident person. Overall his 2 years of experience at NITIE were really satisfying.
