Just one NLU grad? Does this firm carry out campus recruitment or hire through personal referrals/contacts? Or do NLU grads not aspire to join this firm?

Does the world begin and end at NLUs? Most of these colleges are reputed and established law colleges that could run circles around most Tier 2 NLUs and below.

I followed through on this link. It is on the NLSIU students demand to create a less stressful academic environment. A couple of their proposals seemed interesting I shall copy it in full here:

"A. A student shall attend classes of all the years with his/her original batch, regardless of the number of carries in any given year.

B. If a student has fulfilled the attendance requirement, but fails a course, he/she shall be given the opportunity to pass the course in any subsequent year.

C.Students shall be permitted to carry forward subjects from any previous year(s), till their final year, when they may have a better opportunity to clear such course(s) due to further availability of time."

1. So basically, no matter how many papers I fail I can't be 'held back'. The reason being mental stress /pressures of being behind one's batch. However, what happens if I have 'x' number of papers outstanding at end of my 5th year. Will my batchmates not be allowed to graduate lest I feel bad about being left behind? Also, see:

"This is the example the students give to explain how they would like the new marking system to work:

a. 5 marks for submitting projects punctually, on time. (20th January)(t)

b. 4 marks for submitting on the next day. (21st January)(t+1)
c. 3 marks for submitting on the following day, submission day (22nd January)(t+2)... "

2. Are they asking for marks because they submitted something on time? Does the sense of entitlement know no bounds these days? I do believe some soul searching is in order here.

Most of these are completely unworkable. The possibility of doing away with mandatory attendance requirement and having good quality examinations in place is worth at least deliberating upon though. As is having a support system in place for genuinely struggling students, in the form of counseling, remedial classes etc. Empathy is definitely needed, but it does not have to be at the expense of standard or quality.

Does anyone know what Karanjawala's attrition rate is like vis-a-vis other law firms like SAM & CAM, AZB, etc.?
What are the attributes in associates that are most prized in this firm?
What percentage of Karanjawala's practice is outside Delhi?
What is the average tenure at the firm of any advocate who joins?
