All 86 students who sat for placements from the graduating 2024 batch of NALSAR, Hyderabad have been placed at domestic and international firms, corporate houses, and government undertakings.

Out of the 119 students in the Batch of 2024, 86 opted to participate in the placement process. 36 students bagged pre-placement offers (PPOs) while 50 students were hired through campus recruitment.

Of these, 54 have accepted offers with Indian law firms, 3 students will be pursuing litigation chamber practice, 3 have been hired by government undertakings and 3 students have accepted training contracts at international law firms.

The highest salary offered this year is ₹59 lakh per annum by an international law firm. The average salary offered is ₹17 lakh per annum.

However, some firms recruiting on campus reportedly conducted their drives without regard to inclusivity and reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities.

A press release issued by the University urged participating firms to improve reasonable accommodations and inclusivity for future students.

"...it has come to our attention that some aspects of the process were not sufficiently inclusive, which adversely affected candidates' experiences and hindered their recruitment. To address these issues, it is crucial for participating firms to take necessary action to improve accommodations and inclusiveness for all candidates," the release reads.

Earlier this year, few distasteful incidents of campus recruitment by firms were highlighted in the Shamnad Basheer panel discussion on Disability and Law held during the Courts and Constitution conference.

The Recruitment Coordination Committee (RCC) for the Batch of 2024 comprised Anshul Agarwal, Aryaman Singh, Avani Namireddy, Harshita Lilani, Hemant Chouhan, Pradhyumn Sharma, Pratyush Kumar Pradhan, Sahil Aggarwal, Sanskar Jain, Shubham Damani, Sparsh Khosla and Tanmay Malik.
