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.

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: Kirit P. Mehta School of Law, Mumbai campus has a placement cell which works towards getting the best internships for students, comprising a team of people from the administration and a team of students, who are very approachable and bring in the best opportunities.
Placements: The college has a very efficient placement cell that works hard to place students. The packages received by students range from 4-20 LPA each year. The college also provides internship opportunities in law firms that practice in a wide range of areas, from pharmaceutical to project finance and corporate law. Students can apply for internships and paralegalships starting in their second year. Many tier 1 law firms, such as Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, and Stratage Law, ...
Placements: Placements scenario at KPMSOL is highly disappointing. The college admits over 400 students in each batch, but only 5-8 students manage secure placements through the placement cell. Most students find jobs through personal connections, networking, or independent applications.
Placements: Most people get placed at our college. Generally, placements start in 4th year but we also have internship opportunities from our college. So there are always PPO chances for sole students. Most top law firms, like Khaitan, AZB, Trilegal, etc., come for campus placements.
Placements: The placement cell isn't good at KPMSOL. Only the top 10% of students are placed with an average package. However, since NMIMS has a good brand name, getting internships is quite easier. But the package is as low as 8-9 LPA, which isn't worth it to spend here at NMIMS.
Placements: Placements are fairly limited with about 15% of students getting placed via campus drives. While there are opportunities, they are limited and competitive, often depending on the student's individual performance. Mostly students rely on internships and off-campus opportunities.

It is tough to compare which institute is easier to get admission into for LLM courses among KPMSL Mumbai and SLS Pune because the basic eligibility requirement for admissions to both the colleges is the same: candidates must complete their LLB degree with a minimum aggregate of 45% (SLS Pune) to 50
