Similar survey was conducted by my senior in Jamia.
Here is the link - https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3541086
Around 20% would have incomes of 25 lakhs to 50 lakhs
Rest below 25 lakhs.
Certainly, there are people from poor backgrounds, but they earn tons when they join the profession, so the fee is justified.
There are usually 3 groups.
My classmates were children of Judges, hot shot lawyers, MPs, MLAs, ministers, senior bureaucrats, industrialists.
Others were children of bank employees, railways, MSME business, small practice, group B/C government job etc.
A lot of them were just getting by on scholarships and such assurances.
So maybe complaints about high fees are unjustified?
