One student each has confirmed their admission at Queen Mary University of Law, London and Duisenberg School of Finance, Amsterdam..The placement process at NUALS was handled by the Committee for Campus Recruitment (CCR). The committee consisted of members of the graduating batch. The recruitment work began from June 2010 and continued till April 2011..The CCR operated on a two-step process. The first step involved sending representatives of the CCR to major cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru in June 2010. These teams visited various law firms, corporates, LPOs and other organisations in these cities with a view to introduce NUALS and the batch and invited them to participate in the recruitment drive..The second stage was the final recruitment process that commenced in August 2010. Interested organisations were required to register with the CCR to participate in the recruitment process. They were also required to disclose the terms and conditions of employment and compensation packages upon registration. After registration, the organisations were allotted a specific date and time slot..Bar & Bench spoke to a member of the recruitment committee and two students who were pursuing their LL.M. This is what they had to say.Vishnu S. (Member CCR ), “Despite being a third tier national law school with all the limitations, we’ve managed to get a fair amount of placements. The recruiters gave us a positive response which resulted in them recruiting more students than they had planned. Also now with the permanent campus being opened from the next academic year (2011-12) I am positive my alma matter would create new standards in the legal fraternity.”.Munni Mary, (Confirmed Admission at Queen Mary University of Law) “ I’ve always wanted to surge into the pristine area of corporate law. Hopefully QMUL will be the beacon for the same”.Sindhu S T, (Confirmed Admission at National University of Singapore) “I first joined NUALS with the hope of getting placed in a corporate firm with a fat pay check. However, as I progressed through my course in NUALS, I had a change of mind. I think I can attribute this change of mind to the faculty of NUALS. I began to develop an interest towards learning, especially Maritime law. The faculty encouraged us to learn as much as we could, even after we graduate. I could say that now I have a place in the National University of Singapore for their LL.M (Maritime Law) programme because of their support.”.Recruitment statistics of NUALS are as follows:
