NLSIU has gotten 20 offers in DayZ. This is probably the lowest number in history of NLSIU. Even PPOs were around 10. Why NLS had low placements?
And Sudhir is proceeding at full speed by increasing intake to assembly line factory levels. Imagine what that will lead to. The entire market for Tier 1 recruitment in India must be around 200-250 at the most. Now NLS alone will have 240 graduating every year plus the 3-year LLBs. What has he unleashed.
Sudhir should shed his arrogance and accept that most students want law firm jobs and the curriculum should reflect that. Currently Jindal places many in law firms because they have practice-based courses.
Then maybe those who think legal education is about a law firm job and nothing else should go to Jindal. Problem solved.
Or, Sudhir can go to Jindal instead. That will also solve the problem in an easier way.
Here's the truth of what happened:

1) 20-22 people got jobs (Not offers)

2) Half of the people who did not get a job never cared about corp jobs; Had interned in Courts and research institutes and then joined RCC at the last moment to sit for placements.

3) Many people from this batch had got PPO interviews but failed
the thing with top nlu's is that you could have done 0 corporate work during your 4 years, but law firms will still hire you if you have good grades, did moots etc.
What If you have average-below average grades and hardly any co-curriculars?

The toppers mostly got placed and people with good moot and ADR experience have also got placed
Bruh, in re (2), Law School always had people who signed up last minute for RCC and actually never wanted corp jobs. What appears to have changed is that those people are not getting T1 jobs (SCAM/AZB/TL/KCO) on Day Zero - whereas earlier 30-40 such people (in a batch of 80) would easily manage this.
The total number of jobs including PPOs is somewhere around 35 out of a class of 80 students.

Yes, this year it's gloomy everywhere and hardly any T1 could place 50% of its batch till Day Z
Law School students were never interested in boring and mindless Indian law firm jobs. They are better than that and prefer to work abroad, or do chamber practice in India, or work for think tanks. All the Law School stud alumni are from these fields.
No stats proves that. That's why NLSIU has stopped releasing placement stats after 2016. It will reveal that the grad outcome has taken a distinct downward turn.
Is that why every year, so many of them still sits for Day Zero? This no corp job is a myth cleverly started by NLSIU kids once they realised that they aren't getting the jobs anymore like they used to.
Yes, PPOs were around 15. OP drew up an imaginary number but PPOs usually cross 20 for other batches at NLS
