Firms like khaitan don't have money and billing. They have fired / forced out most senior level lawyers. Trying to target 1000 lawyers they kept hiring then firing Or insulting / torturing till one left. Others are forced to write articles or give presentations. It's been horrible out there. Incoming money is lesser than outgoing. It's similar with other firms. Many quit at the right time and joined trilegal Or azb.Khaitan even reduced salaries of associates hiring from smaller places while trilegal increased theirs. Khaitan being one of the largest recruiters generally keeping freshers free, would not want to recruit more. Point is how to remove current.

After luthra saraf split either don't recruit in bulk as before. Cam sam would recruit as they aren't impacted much. However Cam has seen mass exits but no replacement recruitment. Should not impact freshers. But less seniors = less juniors. Trilegal would be standard. There's a lot of work at trilegal and they had hired in bulk at all levels and all practice areas. They've also increased the pay to appreciate the lawyers. It's a good destination for stability. Other smaller firms will recruit on need basis. This year will be bad. Just pity those who joined bigger firms only to write articles and then get kicked out.

NUJS has placed 30 in day zero and 35 via PPOs. The total number of students who were part of the recruitment process this year was unusually high, close to 100. However, many opted for it at the last moment. By the the time Day One results are fully announced, not more than 10 students should be left without jobs.
