Others remain without jobs. The campus placements suck and the record of placements is at an all time low this year. Imagine only 3-4 out of 240 got a decent job.
an impressive record of placement of the students since the first batch of students passed out in 2004. While 30-40 percent of the students go for litigation, 10-15 percent goes for higher studies in India and abroad, a few go for Judicial Service and Civil Service Examinations, a few take up clerkship under the Honβble judges of the Supreme Court and the High Courts and the rest of them join law firms.
The students have secured final placement abroad in the following reputed law firms:
Herbert Smith (UK)
Allen Overy LLP (UK)
Ashurst (UK)
Clyde & Co. (Dubai)
Roousee International (Dubai)
Herbert Smith (Singapore)
Tan Kok Quan (Singapore)
Norton Rose (Singapore)
Dres & Napier (Singapore)

There was absolutely nothing similar between Amity Delhi
About 10 people got into Argus and they're paying 16LPA, so that's really something, even if it doesn't have the Tier 1 tag. ICICI hired someone, and they're paying 16 LPA too. There were a bunch of random insurance companies, the pay isn't as good but on the bright side they're hiring people with below average cgpas, too. There are a bunch of people interning at T1s and T2s now, and I'm very hopeful that they'll make it there. Since we don't really have a minimum attendance requirement in 5th year, we have a huge advantage compared to T2 NLUs that have only one shot left - the winter internship break.
I know that it's not fantastic overall, but the other colleges are suffering too, it isn't just us. In the end, placement seems to be based on a bunch of factors outside our control - the general hiring status, which depends on the hiring of the previous year, economic factors, expansion possibilities, attrition rates, etc. If we had been in 5th year last year, we'd be singing a completely different tune about placements.
AZB, for example, hired 16 people in total last year from SLS - including the disputes team and PPOs. This year was very disappointing, because we expected a similar number based on the number of people shortlisted and the multiple rounds of interviews conducted. Through campus placement alone, Trilegal hired 10 people last year but they cut it down to 5 this year. They have given assessment internships to a few, though, let's hope that it leads to something. This isn't because our batch is better or worse than the 2023 batch, it's factors entirely outside our control. Anyway, I hope things turn out well for you. Good luck, stay hopeful!
You cannot solely rely upon the RCC to get jobs, one should step out and leverage the alumni network to score decent opportunities.
Keeping this aside, the RCC of SLS P does invite a lot of banks, startups and in-house corporates to campus. While the packages offered are quite average (8LPA-10LPA), it has helped quite a lot of students to at least begin their career.
