I personally think (planning to do LLB), something is weirdly wrong about it. They have admitted even those who didn't make it to the list, they didn't mention placement statistics or courses they offer in LLM.

They admitted properly through 1st merit list and 2nd merit list. People from the 0 merit list would not have joined. In such cases , they'll release 1/2nd merit list to admit the candidates.

IIT KGP is a central institute that has the status of an INI. It is in a different league compared to all the discussions here.
