I had earlier reproduced a LinkedIn post which mentioned the names of 7 NALSAR graduates who got into the Oxford B.C.L. programme during 2020-2021. Sidharth Chauhan (Assistant Professor, NALSAR Hyderabad) has followed up with another LinkedIn post which mentions 19 more names of NALSAR alumni who have pursued postgraduate studies at prestigious universities this year. Copying it in full below:-

This is in continuation of my previous post about NALSAR alumni who are pursuing postgraduate studies at well known universities during the 2020-2021 academic year. Apart from the seven recent graduates who will soon be completing the B.C.L. programme, the following are currently at the University of Oxford:-
- Anjali Rawat (BALLB 2015) is about to complete the M.Phil. after having done the B.C.L. in 2019-2020. - Jyotshna Gurumurthy (BALLB 2019) has done the B.C.L. in 2019-2020 and been admitted to the D.Phil.

I could gather the following names among those who are attending masters programmes at other globally recognised institutions during 2020-2021:-

[...] On the positive side, this shows that their alums have been applying to foreign master's programmes in substantial numbers and getting in. Most of these admissions would have happened in early 2020, before the pandemic set in.
By background, the wording was a little trollish though the post as a whole was interesting. Paraphrasing, in summary and for context, the thrust of the redacted section was: Why is Nalsar doing PR of its achievements, is it planning something?
Don't most colleges do this sort of PR, either on LinkedIn or Facebook? I'm sure I've come across posts by NUJS and NLUO of individual alumni achievements and LLM admits etc. Nalsar has just recently started doing the same, which is merely just catching up to the others and not really "planning something" imo
