In law schools, PPOs are offered in the fourth year of the course. "The shift towards pre-placement offers, which now account for nearly 80% of our fresher intake, ensures legal proficiency and cultural alignment," Sinhji noted.
Khaitan said it has "consciously" pivoted towards hiring a majority of fresh talent through the PPO route. Nishith Desai Associates has offered PPOs worth Rs 25 lakh to more than 40 candidates who will graduate in 2026.
Currently, students at Gujarat National Law University (GNLU) are offered packages in the range of ₹18 lakh to ₹25 lakh.
