Recruitment Cordination Committee, NLUO organized a Mock Interview Week.

The Recruitment Coordination Committee 2016-21(“RCC”) of National Law University Odishahosted a mock interview week, with the assistance of the alumni of the university. The interview week was conducted from 23^rd May, 2020 to 31^st May, 2020 with an aim to help the students gain a better understanding and insight of the recruitment interviews. The RCC conducted these interviews in various practice areas, including Corporate Law, Litigation, Alternate Dispute Resolution(“ADR”), Competition Law, Banking and Finance, Intellectual Property Rights(“IPR”) and Labor and Employment laws. Apart from this, RCC also organized sessions on careers with Research Think Tanks and Judicial Clerkship, for the interested students. An interview is the most crucial step in the process of securing a job and a candidate needs to be thoroughly prepared for the same. The reason RCC decided to host the interview week was to ensure maximum success for students appearing for such recruitment interviews. With the help of this session, students gained valuable experience with regards to the necessary readings for interviews, basic personality questions, preparation methods and how to approach a technical question.

The Corporate law interviews were taken by Mr. Puneet Passi, Mr. Aditya Rajput, Mr. Adhiraj Gupta, Mr. Abhishek Mour, Ms. HemaPattnaik, Mr. Akash Srinivasan, Ms. AishwaryaSingh and Mr. Anish Jaipuriar.
