Final Year Student from SLS Pune here, I got a PPO from Trilegal and shall be joining them in July 2024.
From my experience, college really does-not matter. Looking at my batchmates, there have been students who were able to crack training contracts in foreign law firms such as Baker Mackenzie and Linklaters. Additionally around 15-20 of my batchmates have received either a PPO or an offer in day zeros from tier 1 law firms. This was around 35-40 last year for the batch of 2023.
Rather than wasting time on this thread, you should chin up and get yourself to work.

Law Firms for NLUs
Litigations for Non-NLUs
Govt. Jobs for Both
YET i couldn't make to any T1 or T2 law firms even after having professional connections,
REASON "I WAS FROM NON-NLU COLLEGE" 😣
But I leared through verified sources & personally saw that in many T1 firms many associates were not even did more than 2-3 internships forget about extra curricular activities & no analytical skills BUT still they hired & are getting more than 1Lakh / month salary BECAUSE THEY WERE FROM NLU OR NEPOS (TOP 7)
I thought that atleast i can bag more than 70K/month package but currently i am getting 22k/month (after 2yr exp). I was not from financial sound background so didn't took the risk for CLAT.
LEARNING : NO ONE CARE & POLITICS WILL CONTINUE. & CRACK CLAT OR MAKE NEPO SOURCE
How to join law firms now? I am interested in M & A , VC , GCA , B&F . Please help us all non NLU people.
(trolls pls stay away, i am already depressed and get heart palpitations daily.)

He has done his law from thane, which is not very recognized, but still he has made it to forbes.
NO MATTER FROM WHERE YOU COME, YOUR HARDWORK, YOUR VISION, YOUR DETERMINATION/CONSISTENCY MATTERS IN LIFE.NOT BRAND OF LAW SCHOOL.
anand shah ,senior partner of azb is not from nlu,
nitin potdar of jsa is not from nlu,
rohan sharda ,partner of sam is not from nlu,
there are a lot more who are not from nlu and now working in tier 1 law firms and making more than 4-5 lakhs per month.
NLU's are just brand,join a private college,from first year itself keep doing internships,have firm clarity in which are of practice you want to make it big.
just start working hard from that day itself,read books pertaining to that area of practice,watch youtube videos.
down the line 5-10 years ,your work experience,skills,knowledge will matter.
The only thing to bear in mind - Know up front that it is going to be a little harder for you so make sure you intern as much as you can during your college days and build a strong network which you could possibly leverage to get a job.
