CNLU Patna Placements: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 34 Reviews

The college has a placement cell, yet the effectiveness of placements is limited, with only a small percentage of students securing positions through campus drives. Annually, about 20 students from a batch of 120 receive offers, with major recruiters including banks and second-tier law firms. The average salary package ranges between 8-10 lakhs, with the highest reaching 18 lakhs.

The focus on judiciary and litigation results in fewer students participating in placement activities. Internships are mandatory, with 30 weeks required for graduation, but students often secure these independently. The geographical location in Patna, an underdeveloped area, affects the influx of recruiting companies. Despite some growth and efforts by the placement cell, many students choose higher studies or judiciary careers over corporate placements.

The concise overview of the CNLU

Student Snaps:

Placement Experience:

The Placements are pretty good in both the private and Government sectors. For the private sector college, conduct placement interviews for interested students of the 4th year, in which many 2nd-tier law firms participate. Also, for the government services like the judiciary, colleges provide extra classes and mock interviews. The Bihar government recruits almost every year aoorox 300 students from CNLU in their law departmnets

Reviewing Chankaya National Law University Patna

Placement Experience:

Here the campus placement is good because companies like JSA, ICICI bank and many other Tier 2 companies come for placement in 4th yeat and 5th year also. Highest package of my college is usually given by ICICI bank of 18 lakhs to two selected students.But as Cnlu is in Bihar so many students tends to go for higher studies or litigation or goes for judiciary exam.So nearly 40% students tends to get placed because they have a keen intrest in going to corporate firms and other students go to other exams. My plan after getting out of college is to prepare for judiciary exam.

A lot of scope for improvement

Student Snaps:

Placement Experience:

The students become eligible for campus placement from 7th semester onwards. The university has a placement cell, but it doesn't function properly. Over the years, only a handful of companies come. The number of students getting placed through campus placement offers is also very less(4-5) in a batch. The recruiting companies are ICICI and Khaitan and co. offering an approximate package of 16-18 LPA.

CNLU: worth it or not

Dislikes

The University doesn't provide placement as demanded by the students. Rarely, some students are selected for the campus placement.

Placement Experience:

There are some companies and law firm do visit our campus for the placement where the the calibre of students matter to be selected for the job. 5-10 percent of the whole batch is getting placed which is a very small number.

Chanakya National Law University Review

Placement Experience:

CNLU is generally known for Judiciary. The majority of students are preparing for the Judiciary exam. Placement at this college is quite low compared to other colleges. This is because in placement very few students sit and appear for the placements. The majority of the students opt for higher studies like LLM or other PG courses or start preparing for Judiciary or Civil service exams. The main disadvantage of low placement is the geographical location of this college. It is situated in Patna where there is no company resides. All the major companies are in Delhi, Mumbai, or other big cities. Patna is underdeveloped which is why most of the big companies don't come to recruit the students. Students are eligible for placement from the eighth semester only. After completing his/her graduation they can join the company. Major companies visited for placement are banks and second-tier law firms. Approx 25% of students get placed during the year. I am planning to prepare for the judiciary.

Chanakya National Law University (CNLU) Review

Placement Experience:

The college also offers a placement service. The college has a record of 50-60% placement record why because most of us after completing LLB prefer to opt for personal practice and very few take part in the college placement drive. The highest salary offer was around 9 LPA average salary offer was around 3.50 LPA. RDA Legal Kolkata, RR Sahaya & Associates Patna, RSA Law Consultants, Athena Law Firm, AK Singh & Associates, Trust Legal Law Firm, Quislex, Eden Group, etc were among the names of the firms that took part in the college placement drive.
