HPNLU Placement FAQs
Ques. How would the students describe the actual placement scenario at HPNLU?
Ans: Students variously characterise this reality as mixed: there are placements and some decent salary offers, but the volume of campus placements simply is not as great as some of the older NLUs. In student conversations, many point out that hardly a few students get on‑campus offers while a good chunk of the batch ends up going for higher studies, off‑campus recruitment, or judiciary preparation. Others note that building a strong internship profile, networking, and securing PPOs can significantly boost placement success.
Ques. Do big law firms directly recruit from HPNLU?
Ans: According to student reviews and ratings, it seems that mostly tier-2 or tier-3 law firms and other corporate law teams are present as campus recruiters and not top-ranked or top-tier law or corporate entities. Firms like SVS Attorneys, Optimus Legal, SNG & Partners, SNS Legal, Mandala Law Offices are some of the names that are reviewed by students and are actually offering opportunities to students. Students also mention that it is difficult to find top-ranked or top-tier global or tier-1 law or corporate entities to come to their college.
Ques. Does HPNLU provide good internship opportunities?
Ans: Yes - students generally claim that internships are plenty and much better than placements. HPNLU makes 12‑week internships for 3‑year programmes and 20‑week for 5‑year courses compulsorily, which are utilized by students to get practical exposure in courts, law firms, commissions, and government authorities. Students often report that good internships translate into a better job offer or PPOs later on.
