How are the placements at NLU Jodhpur?

Usually people are accepted for internships in tier 1 law firms from the third year onwards. Usually students get a pre placement offer or certain companies in their fourth year but campus placements only happen in the fifth year. Around 20-30 companies visit my campus and this year: 43 job offers were received by the graduating batch, 16 received PPO's, and 27 students accepted job offers on day zero. 2 received offers from international firms. The highest package from an Indian law firm was 35lpa. While the highest internationally was 1cr in UK currency. The batch size was 122. I really just want to secure an offer from a top law firm after getting my degree.

There's a special committee which takes care of internships and placements at NLUJ. we start getting internships through college since the third year. Some fourth years even get PPOs but that ofc depends upon your internship performance. In the fifth year, we organise day zero where a lot of firms including tier 1 and tier 2 come to college for the campus placements.

The placements are basically categorized as day zero placement and placement after that. Day zero placements happen in 4th year when the big 7 law firms recruit. The big 7 law firms pay a starting package of more than 12 lakhs. In the year 2022, 46 students got placed out of 50 students. The highest salary by Indian firms is usually around 18 lakhs per annum. While the foreign firms its around 44lakhs.

The college has very good placement but the fact is also that most of us after completing the program decides to opt for personal practice because there is a lot more opportunity but then also the college offer placement opportunity and during our time i.e in 2019 almost the highest package was around 15 LPA and the average salary offer was approx 8 LPA. Legal firms like AZB & Partners, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, Desai & Diwanji, Khaitan & Company visited our campus for the placement. The college also offered foreign placement opportunities.

I plan to get into a corporate Law firm after my college. However, during your 5-year course, you get a lot of different opportunities to delve into this includes competitive exams such as UPSC and judiciary, and academia. You can also opt for an in-house placement in different companies across the country or you can also start your own practice with a lawyer or on your own.
