How 98% of Graduates Fail to Get Into India's Top Law Firms

Struggle to find suitable, job-ready grads comes at a time when legal sector is growing rapidly
The majority of fresh law graduates in India are missing out on the country's booming and higher-paying corporate legal market for reasons afflicting students of other professional courses as well—a lack of job readiness.
Fewer than 2% of India's fresh law graduates secure positions at the country's top corporate law firms, according to data shared by legal recruitment firm Vahura with Mint. Nearly 100,000 law students graduate annually, and about 69,000 clear the All India Bar Exam, which makes them eligible to practice law in any court across the country. But out of more than 1,700 law schools in the country, only graduates from the top 25-30 colleges consistently land jobs in corporate or mid-tier law firms.

What happens when a helicopter drops a large amount of cash on a local economy? Does the local GDP go up instantly? Of course not. Even a schoolkid's intuition tells you that the immediate result would be inflation. It is more money chasing the same amount of goods and services.
