Everyone knew what they wanted, which firm they saw themselves in and this helped us have the highest number of offers in NALSAR history and the most number of jobs on day zero across the top 3 law schools. We are very grateful to Prof. Mustafa (VC) and Prof. Kumar (Registrar). The administration was always there for us.”.Another RCC member, Nishant Prasad told Bar & Bench that,.“It doesn’t matter whether you go first or last but it is your preparation and an effective RCC which is always at the top of things which would do the trick for any batch at any law school. More importantly, our next task is to place all our remaining candidates and that is foremost on our minds. The RCC was simply astounding and the effort put in and the organisation by all the members were appreciated by every Firm and the students.”.The RCC currently consists of Sandipan De, Nishant Prasad, Archit Bhatnagar, Anandita Thass, Tanay Agarwal, Anjali Rawat, Preethi Correa, Aymen Mohammed, and Yashashree Mahajan.
