The day zero of the 2016 batch of various Law colleges was held in April and will be followed by another round of campus placements towards the end of the session. This day saw mass recruitment by major law firms, with Khaitan & Co recruiting 42 2016 graduates, closely followed by Amarchand Mangaldas Mumbai with 38 offered jobs and Luthra & Luthra with 35.
