Union leaders had given the government until Easter weekend to withdraw the law or face a repeat of the recent general strikes.
Student leader Julie Coudry called for protesters to lift blockades at dozens of universities so students could prepare for their end-of-year exams.
“The CPE is dead, the CPE is well and truly finished,” she said.
But some students appeared unwilling to abandon their protest.
Many had wanted the entire law to be revoked, not just the article introducing the employment contract.
“Our demands have not really been met,” Lise Prunier, a student at the University of Paris-Jussieu told the Associated Press.
