WHAT IS THERE IN THE LIST TO ENVY?

if students remain silent about it, this man is likely to do away with the optional and force compulsory courses on you!

Quoting jury:

Guyz,

Are they compensated at par with their classmates who landed up in a position with a law firm or in-house.. Not really undermining their (profs') passion to educate..

Gian,

Do you possess their compensation list. On you publishing it, the same might inculcate interest among the wannabe-profs.

good question..

FYI, out of those (nalsar alumni) as mentioned in the list, one has previously worked for Luthra, another one used to work for AMSS and the third with super cool cgpa could well have easily got a job with a top tier firm, had he opted to sit in the placement process.
Yes their "compensation" as you put it, may be probably be less than half what they made under their previous employers, but by talking of money, you are only showing your immaturity. Loads of money is not everything, some opt academics for a work life balance, others choose it purely out of passion for teaching.

Hi Mr. NALFAR (sic),


I expected a comment like this ("immaturity"). Thatz the reason why two lines were incorporated:

"Not really undermining their (newly appointed professors) passion to educate.."

"On you publishing it, the same might inculcate interest among the wannabe-profs." to take up teaching as their carrier (emphasis supplied).

Unfortunately, in your rush to nit-pick, you seem to have lost sight of them.....

My friend, if you are passionate enough for taking up teaching as your profession, teaching the most talented and enthusiastic kids in one of the premier institutes in the country, THAT is a reason enough to encourage you to take up academics. If you are looking for a pay scale "at par with...a law firm or in-house", and that's what drives you, then I am sorry, you can hardly do justice to your position as an academician and more importantly, justice to your students.

While the above may sound rather idealist to some, there is something more which needs to be highlighted here. Most of these neo-profs are people who have already explored other "fast track" career paths where they used to get insanely high salaries at their previous work places. Law as a career option has emerged only in the recent past and the last 2-3 years have seen desperate efforts by law pass outs to explore options outside of law firms and corporate in houses, to explore places which will enable them a combination of these: a) to pursue what you really like, b) earn a decent salary and c) have work-life balance.
So, from a practical point of view also, even if you are not getting a hefty pay but you are able to get a combination of the three above, the latter would be a reason enough to be drawn towards this career choice.

Appreciate your insight friend. Very purpose of me requesting gian/prachi to publish the compensation list (only if possible/available) of neo-profs is to make the readers understand that this career choice gives you satisfaction with a compensation that can help you n ur family to lead a decent living.

The list may also inculcate desire in law grads, who wish to take up teaching as their career but did not pursue it for the fear of poor remuneration (for a minute, im talking about a law grad, who has a necessity to fend his family).

Hope u understand my point my s(f)riend..

Wow thats unbelievable, at one point of time NUJS had the best of the best faculty in Asia Pacific like professors Shamnad, Sudhir Krishnaswamy, Prabhash, what happened to them have all of them left the country or joined NALSAR ?
great to know that NALSAR is going great guns on the strength of its worldclass faculty and great VC, HOWEVER am sad to know about the steep downfall of NLS Bangalore

Yes, Kian, please cover the new faculty members at Jindal Global Law School. Also do a feature on how the FIR against Navin Jindal in the coal scam will affect the school. It's all over the news and the indictment of a Chancellor of a major law school deserves some discussion.

ditto for R. Venkata Rao at NLSIU Bangalore

Really???
Mr Mustafa, [...]
Please apply some strict quality checks to see if those given the task of teaching the students are good enough
