Nalsar Hyderabad has placed 27 students with domestic top tier law firms out of a batch of 72 by its first day of 2018 recruitments, or so-called Day Zero on 5 April, in addition to one actual high-paying job with a foreign law firm, and one vacation placement with a foreign law firm.
That includes 17 accepted offers via campus interviews held on Day Zero, in addition to 10 pre-placement offers (PPOs) made after students’ internships with firms.
The majority of offers came from Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, at 8 (of which 7 were made via Day Zero campus interviews), followed by 5 each at Luthra & Luthra and Khaitan & Co (of which three and two jobs, respectively, came via campus recruitments).
Shardul Amarchand picked up a total of 3 (with one via campus), and AZB & Partners hired two via campus day zero.
TT&A also participated in campus recruitment but did not make any job offers that were accepted.
In addition, Nalsar’s 2018 graduating batch also received one vacation scheme from Linklaters - equivalent to an internship that could turn into a full job offer - and one early training contract from Allen & Overy - which is an actual job offer with a foreign law firm, paying £42,000 (Rs 33 lakh) in the first year, increasing to £47,000 in the second year, and £78,500 on qualification after completing two years.
The total batch strength at Nalsar is 72, according to the recruitment committee, with 30 students having sat for Day Zero. A total of 28 offers were made, of which 17 were accepted.
The RCC consists of Aayush Mallik, Akshita Pandit, Amritha Kumar, Angeline Benny, Balaji Subramanian, Praveen Singh and Rakshanda Deka, and expressed gratitude to the firms that participated in the Day Zero process, according to a statement.
At the end of May 2016, Nalsar’s Day Zero performance appeared nominally slightly stronger than today’s, at 36, with 18 PPOs (excluding vacation schemes) and 18 Day Zero offers, in-part due to PPOs by a greater number of law firms than this year. Correction: The earlier published article mis-stated that 2016’s Day Zero figures were at a later date in the year, when in fact they were from around the same time in early April (despite having been released later).

www.legallyindia.com/lawschools/nalsar-day-zero-2016-41-placed-in-most-sough-after-firms-mostly-through-ppos-20160530-7649,
the figures only include offers from entities which participated on Day-zero/PPOs. Offers made by other recruiters are not a part of the figures. Just because the figures are released a couple of months later does not mean new entities have become a part of Day Zero.
In this regard, please refer to your own article which was published on the 12th of April, 2016 - www.legallyindia.com/lawschools/day-zeros-demand-from-amarchands-divided-offsets-drop-in-2017-recruitments-from-others-via-mint-20160412-7439
Please make the necessary corrections to the article.

The published article itself makes it clear that there were 23 PPOs (including Vacation Schemes) and 18 Day Zero job. There is no scope for entities which came after day zero to be included within the figures at the end of day zero.
By April 30th it was 47 offers (this includes VS + PPOs + Day zero + two non day zero entities)
Batch of 2017 was way ahead than batch of 2018 in recruitment. Your last paragraph contradicts your previous articles.
Anyways, well done batch of 2018, your performance is beyond expectations.
P.S - I hope you understand realities of life and change attitude towards life. :) (This is intended towards few special one's of your batch).
Please get your facts straight. NALSAR had 23 PPOs including Vacation Schemes with 18 accepted job offers as on day zero 2016. You have only reported that there were 41 jobs by the end of day zero as a note in your article on NLSIU day zero last week around. This is not a slightly better performance, rather is the best so far among all NLUs with a similar batch size!
1) Since we've not been counting vac schemes as full job offers this year for some reason, but been accounting for them separately, Nalsar's day zero in 2016 got 18 PPOs and 18 Day 0 jobs.
2) Were all those PPOs given exactly as at 7 April 2016, or did some of these come in slightly later? I don't remember exactly what the situation was last year...
Thanks.
1. At the end of Day Zero, we had two training contracts (two Vacation Schemes had been converted into training contracts) + 3 Vac Schemes.
2. None of the PPOs were received post Day Zero; all of them came in before Day Zero.
So, 38 accepted job offers and training contracts (Vacation Schemes not being counted).
Should you not be following your own advise? Why are you commenting on this anyway?
UK law firms pay for your LPC and whatever else. But yes, technically we should maybe mention that Indian students need to do the LPC first before starting on a TC, right? (if that's still the case - I'm not sure I'm up-to-date there)
Indian students who receive TCs from English firms do not need to do the LPC, unlike their British counterparts. They directly join the firm and give what is known as the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Scheme (QLTS) exam to qualify as a solicitor in England.
The only condition for giving the QLTS exam is that you need to be a registered advocate in India before they recognise you as a solicitor
I hope this helps.

Doesn't that elucidate the difference?
Further, if a law graduate wants a fat pay check he needs to attain postgraduate degrees from the US or UK, and possibly get herself recruited in there. The ladder goes higher up there.
I may be wrong. I'm only 17.
