HPNLU Shimla Placement 2025: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

Himachal Pradesh National Law University, established in 2016, has yet to see its first graduating batch, set to complete their course in 2021. As such, concrete placement records are unavailable. The placement cell is active and responsible, assisting students with internship opportunities during summer and winter breaks. Despite the nascent stage of the university, placements in 2023 saw a limited number of offers, with around 10 placements recorded. The highest package offered was INR 18 LPA by Singh and Associates, while the average package ranged between INR 5-8 LPA.

Placement rates are approximately 15%, with a significant number of students securing jobs independently, leading to an out-of-campus placement rate of about 55%. Internships, largely unpaid, are available in various legal sectors such as courts and law firms, with students encouraged to secure their own opportunities. The university's placement and internship committee aids students in connecting with firms and offers a directory of potential opportunities. As the university grows, future prospects for placements are expected to improve.

HPNLU Review

Placement Experience:

Students usually become eligible for placements in the second semester of their final year. I am currently unaware of the companies that have visited Himachal Pradesh National Law University. U am also unaware of the current packages offered to students but to my knowledge, students with a CGPA higher than 7.5 are preferred by the company. Placement percentage is low. My plan after the degree include being employed at law firm, preferably in Shimla itseld

HPNLU'S KNOW HOW

The placements are not that good as of now because it is still a new NLU. But after 3-5 year's this thing would also improve as more and more companies would come to the University for placement. My plan after the degree is to join a law firm.

HPNLU SHIMLA THE HOGWARTS OF NORTH

Student Snaps:

generally from 5th year which is also the last year students become eligible for campus placement. package on average go to 15 Lpa some students also get packages of 25 lpa . Generally in law field students opt out to be a judge or going for higher studies so students taking placements are very low .

The reality of HPNLU

Likes

Access to other NLUs and being a part of the NLU culture has made me open to more opportunities and a niche legal culture, the NLU tag is worth it when it comes to getting internships and placements.

Dislikes

The placements are very low and internship opportunities are limited.

The placements are not very lucrative only tier 3 law firms offer placements at HPNLU, companies such as SVS attorneys, optimus legal , SNG & partners , SNS legal , Mandala Law offices etc. No. of placements offered was around 10 in 2023. The highest package offered was INR 18LPA by Singh and Associates. The percentage of students getting placed every year by the univerity is very minimal ; 15% and average placement is offered t 5-8 LPA, But most students get placed by companies out of the campus and in their personal capacity. Out of campus placement is pretty high around; 55%.I plan to prepare and appear for judiciary examinations. I also would prefer working in corporate and law firms. As I explore further the path may begin to clear up more.

Hpnlu a decent NLU

This university was incarnated in 2016 and therefore there has not been a single batch that has passed out yet. The first batch will complete the intigrated course in 2021. And it is expected that they will get great placement as our university has been working very hard to provide us with various workshops and guest lectures from various judges of supreme court. The university has its own internship and placement cell which help students to intern.

Steady progress but still a long way to go

Placements and job opportunities can not be talked about right now, since the university was established in 2016, meaning thereby that the first batch students will be in 5th year starting July,2020. The college gives the details of a number of firms, NGO's and other areas to explore giving you the opportunity to apply to the same from their directory giving the details for the same.A letter of recommendation is also provided.In short, you have to look for internship in your own.

HPNLU- A SERENE EXPERIENCE

let me clear this out the placements are not great as it looks but they are trying to place students and expanding the placements cell that students would get the opportunity and only a small number of companies visits campus and many students mostly obtain internship/ placements outside of the campus process the placement cell is still maturing

Ups and Downs of Himachal Pradesh National Law University, Shimla by Mayra Nargotra

College does provide placement however not up to the mark. The placement cell is working hard to provide the best for its students, rest the NLU tag really matters and fetches students work if not from the campus but independently as well. I personally have no plans to go for a placement and so do several others at HPNLU they are focused on judiciary or other government exams.

HPNLU - All You Need To Know !

Internships Opportunities:

Various firms and chambers have approached the campus since we've had Tier-1 and Tier-3 placements successfully achieved. However it is still at a developing pace as most placements are acquired by the students off of their own connections and hard-work with no helping hand of the university.

HPNLU- WHAT & HOW

The students are advised to search for internship opportunities on their own. The talented students even become call back interns at Trilegal. Many seniors intern at Trilegal, SAM, Amarchand Mangaldas, Khatin & Khaitan Co, etc. Sometimes the placement and internship cell organize seminars and even forward emails for certain firms to intern at via the cell.
