Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law Patiala Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

Currently no corporate houses have visited and law firms and top lawyers from across the country depending upon the kind of intenrships we have pursued placements are made. The placements cell now has double the task to ensure bring more and more companies and corporate houses on board.

This is a little vulnerable part of our university as placements aren't it's biggest strenth. A batch size of 300 and only half of ir finds placements from RGNUL. Yes around 40 odd firms have inked deals with RGNUL but still getting the desired results in favour of placements will take some time.

Tatva Legal, Anz and many other law firms are probably the ones which takes around 100 students every year. Ever since corporate have joined hands 120 our of 200 students who pass every year do gets placements. Students have to apply for placements through college portal and after monitoring and checking if we are worthy we are allowed for the interviews.

In our University, students are eligible for campus placements in 5th year of their degree for BA.LLB.(Hons.) and in LLM. they are eligible for placements in the 1st semester itself. Many Law firms visit our university like Khaitan & Co., Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, Trilegal, etc. One students of our university got a 2.5 cr. placement offer from Linklaters Llp. a firm based in U.K. My plans after getting the degree are to start litigation or give a try in UPSC.

Companies have still not looked at RGNUL and therefore high court lawyers and litigation firms are the ones who provides placements to RGNUL students. In recent past students have been constantly getting placed with 10 LPA package and placements percentage too has rose above 50 now.

No corporate law here so far but top lawyers and top firms like the Luthra, Khaitan, Maheshwari and Co, all have accepted our aplications. So, all.of them come to our college for placements now and placement cell has worked very hard to bring them all on board.

Law and arbitration firms and mostly from Delhi as it is the bed of law. AZB, Khaitan & Co, Cyril Amarchand and others probably the ones which most students are placed. Trilegal too has recently partnered with out college and every year 20 students are invited to intenr with them from our university.

Around 60% students only gets direct placements from our college as ratio I hope gets better because as a top tier NLU i still feel the placements are still not that great. I hope that by the time our time comes ratio is 100% because after the judgement of 3 years practice for judiciary, I think it is inevitable to have a job.

Khaitan & Co., Maheshwari and Co and likewise many such companies came for placements as it's the law firm that provides us placements and give good salary like 50-70k in general. However, internships matters a lot as most students performance at their internships are reviewed thoroughly.

The Placements at RGNUL are great and increasing, and the same can be attributed to the internship and placement cell of the university, which is doing exceptionally well in this field. The students who are in their 5th Year of their course become eligible for the placement drive which happens at the RGNUL, while some students also bag PPOs from various prestigious firms and companies in their fifth and fourth year. The current placement stats for the batch that passed out in 2024, recorded good placements ranging with around 50 students getting placed, almost 40 per cent of the batch, in firms like Trilegal, Khaitan&Co, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, Ernest&Young, KPMG etc. and around 10 bagging scholarships from International Universities. Talking about the highest package the same ranged between 18-19 lakhs per annum and the average package ranged from 10-12 lakhs per annum. The same motivates me also and I am further looking for a corporate placement from the college.
