Placement guarantee - If you are in the top 25 of a NALSAR/ GNLU/ NLUJ, Top 10 of an upper T2 NLU, NLS, NLUD, Top 5 in a lower T2 NLU, or a topper in a T3 NLU or renowned private college. Your placement in a Tier 1 law firm is guaranteed. If you feel NLS and NLUD are unfairly placed, please look at past year placement stats. GNLU, NALSAR, NLUJ are undoubtedly T1s in placements at T1 firms. No use fighting over it, rather work hard and guide others who want T1 jobs.
The lower the rank + college it goes, it gets worse exponentially, for example a 25 ranker at NALSAR has more chances than a 15 ranker at HNLU. And the lower you go past the twenties and top 5 NLUs, the ratio gets past to 75/25 and 90/10, so the college loses value and your work in internships shines.
Ofcourse contacts helps.
Stop looking from a short term perspective and instead see on a long time frame
However if you do put in the efforts and hardwork to snag a cushy T1 job, you could snag it in both T1 and T2 Universities. Itβs just that the work to get a job is easier in the former as compared to the latter.
Now go and work towards your goal
