The BA LLB batch of 2026 at National Law School of India University (NLSIU) has secured 40 Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs) and 21 Day Zero acceptances. The median package stood at ₹21 LPA while the highest package, offered by a foreign law firm, touched ₹65 LPA.
The BA LLB batch of 2026 has 113 students. Of these, 82 students participated in placement-related activities, resulting in 61 students being placed so far. The Recruitment Coordination Committee (RCC) said the figure of 21 Day Zero refers to the number of students placed, not the total number of offers, whose figure is significantly higher.
Trilegal, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas and AZB & Partners were prominent domestic law firms, hiring for associate-level roles such as Fresh Member, Associate & Junior Associate.
