NLSIU bags 29 Big Six jobs, 4 foreign jobs, 100% campus success for class of 2015

NLS: Rocking 100%
NLS: Rocking 100%

NLSIU Bangalore placed all 54 graduates who opted for campus placement in its class of 71 students who graduated in 2015. The Big Six firms took away more than half of the recruited graduates.

Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas – or erstwhile Amarchand Mangaldas’ Mumbai and Bangalore offices – was the biggest recruiter out of 21 recruiters this year, hiring 12 graduates.

Foreign law firms Allen & Overy and Herbert Smith also hired four graduates.

33 of the 54 total jobs came through last year on Day Zero.

Five graduates, including Rhodes scholar Mansi Sood, will pursue an LLM and two will join judicial clerkships.

The overall trend at the law school went upward from last year, when 42 students were placed including 21 in Big Six law firms.

The recruitment committee consisted of Jinal Dadiya, Supriya Ramanathan, Divy Tripathi, Advait Nair, Anurag Mohanty, Jahnavi Venkatram and Bhoomija Verma.

Nair commented on behalf of the committee:

I believe that we were able to hit our 100% target this year due to the exceptionally strong performance on Day Zero, by the end of which 36 students (including those placed at international law firms) out of 54 were already recruited. This allowed us ample opportunity to make available to the remaining students, recruitment possibilities at a far wider range of organizations including banks, tech startups and infrastructure and telecom companies.
