NMIMS Kirit P. Mehta School of Law Convocation 2025: BCI Chairman Outlines Four Stages of Litigation for Young Lawyers
August 18, 2025: Urging aspiring lawyers to serve society and help build a better nation, Member of Parliament and Bar Council of India Chairman, Hon’ble Shri Manan Kumar Mishra, called upon them to prioritise pro bono service over monetary gains. The senior advocate at the Supreme Court of India, speaking as Chief Guest at the Convocation Ceremony of SVKM’s NMIMS Kirit P. Mehta School of Law, said that those entering the litigation field without any godfather are 'first-generation warriors' who must pass through multiple stages of hard work and perseverance before they start earning in lakhs for just a few minutes of arguing in court.“Those who enter litigation with no godfather will have to go through four stages. Most get disheartened in the first stage and look for alternative careers. But a determined few move to the second stage, here they get a senior’s office, some work, a few clients, but still no money. T

August 18, 2025: Urging aspiring lawyers to serve society and help build a better nation, Member of Parliament and Bar Council of India Chairman, Hon’ble Shri Manan Kumar Mishra, called upon them to prioritise pro bono service over monetary gains. The senior advocate at the Supreme Court of India, speaking as Chief Guest at the Convocation Ceremony of SVKM’s NMIMS Kirit P. Mehta School of Law, said that those entering the litigation field without any godfather are 'first-generation warriors' who must pass through multiple stages of hard work and perseverance before they start earning in lakhs for just a few minutes of arguing in court.“Those who enter litigation with no godfather will have to go through four stages. Most get disheartened in the first stage and look for alternative careers. But a determined few move to the second stage, here they get a senior’s office, some work, a few clients, but still no money. The third stage is when your dedication is recognised and some money starts to come in. The fourth and final stage is the most rewarding, when you have your own juniors doing research, preparing briefs, drafts, and citations. You walk into court, argue for just a few minutes, and get paid in lakhs,” Mishra said.
The convocation saw degrees conferred upon students from the BA LL.B. (Hons.), BBA LL.B. (Hons.), and Master of Laws (LL.M.) programmes, with awards presented to high performers, all-round achievers, faculty, and staff. Dean Dr. Durgambini Patel presented the annual report and congratulated the graduating batch. “Today signifies a momentous occasion when we continue to set new benchmarks. We celebrate our students for crossing a huge milestone and our teachers for passing on the legacy of shaping excellent legal minds. The 2025 batch exemplifies resilience, excellence, and ambition,” she said. “Remember, students, you are not just graduates, you are the torchbearers of justice, innovation, and leadership,” she added. The ceremony concluded with the Graduate Oath and a Sustainability Oath, highlighting the school’s commitment to ethical and socially conscious law practice.

Placements: Over 80% of students got placed from our college last year with the help of the placement cell. The highest package last year ranged around 20 LPA, and the average package is 8.5 LPA. The top recruiting firms are AZB, Khaitan, Tata group, Reliance group, etc. The students have to work hard for their own internships in this course. The top roles that are offered after completing this course depend upon the fields students choose to pursue.
Placements: The placement is still ongoing, and a handful have already been placed. The average package is 7-8 LPA, almost all tier 2 law firms are hiring currently, and other companies are opening in-house. Around 25-30 percent of students got internships from the placement cell of our college.
Placements: There are no placements at all in the college. The placement cell has been inactive for 2-3 years. If you want to ruin your future, take admission here for sure. Only 2-3 students out of around 300 were placed. It gets very difficult to grow in the future in this college.
