We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
But maybe that is not really the target audience of LI, as forensics isn't really in the 'traditional' field of legal practitioners, so it's a bit off topic. However, there is a lot of off topic being posted, so it is also easy to ignore posts about NSFU.
We'll try to keep an eye on it and if threads on NSFU are very repetitive or don't share anything new, will try to moderate (though if there's some genuine news involved, maybe posting it makes sense)
And it's not about the college it's about how they become future leaders in their field . Nfsu was established 13 years back and till now I haven't seen/heard of any startup idea/innovative idea that has contributed/added some value in forensic field
So there is no harm if we say nfsu is just another university where students are just there for placements
Mods, I request you to vet NFSU posts properly. This guy isn't doing it for the first time on LI. Go to r/NLUs, search "NFSU," and you'll find him doing the same there.
Is this a good academic standing? And from the perspective of UK LLM (Cambridge) scholarships, will my marks be a hurdle for me? Should I regret about it that my score isn't that great? If I study well for one more year, on an average it can only cross 78 from 76.
Now its been almost 1.6 years working in this company. I am not interested in their work. I really want to get back into law now specially in M&A, Gen Corp practice (now that I have a decent knowldge of finance and functioning of a company). So is it even remotely possible to go back in law?
It is like RGK and other scans wherein "setting" was definitely involved. But the Genie is now out and cannot be fully buried like Sarada etc.
The new govt tasked the DMs to start salary recoveries from teaching and non teaching staff who were identified by the SSC and CBI as having got appointments via illegal means. But what's the progress and why isn't the govt ensuring that SSC etc publish the names with relevant details. The recoveries if done right will be substantial. And why aren't these 5000 or so individuals being pursued to name those who took cash for jobs?
If the Centre can pull in paramilitary forces from all over the country for security during and after elections, why can't they bring in additional officers including retd officials for surge support?
But you will need to throw out root and stem. No half measures. This is not a state govt problem. It is a Messiah problem. ▮▮▮
Now think if you are stuck in this rut. Or this rut is what you are born into across generations and then merit alone is touted to be the only way to climb the Great Indian Ladder
if you want to transition - nah buddy. I agree they do have good work and lala clients sitting but nothing substantial you'll earn/get from the 'Dentons' tag.
What are the reviews for Link Legal? Any positives after 'Denstons' association?
What about NCR M&A teams- Anuj Trivedi, Namita Das, Milind Jha
Coming to your point about starting in a commercial bank: in India, there honestly aren’t too many legal banking roles available. If banks like ICICI Bank or HDFC Bank visit your campus, you should definitely aim for them. Otherwise, they usually don’t offer internships outside their campus hiring programs. So practically speaking, it makes more sense to target law firms in India and abroad.
As of now, a good Tier-1 BnF experience can open doors to multiple foreign law firm opportunities later on. So ideally, aim for Tier-1 law firm BnF teams, publish on regulations that directly impact financing and deal-making, and try getting internships with teams like Economic Laws Practice or Dentons they may start considering applications from third year onwards. Once you have those names on your CV, start cold-emailing Tier-1 BnF partners strategically. (custom mails)
Also, build experience through moots, especially in IBC. That combination helps a lot.
You should also start applying for vacation schemes at foreign law firms whenever eligible that can genuinely become a golden ticket.
Overall, just stay extremely aware of what’s happening in the market. Don’t isolate your learning entirely to BnF because the future of the practice area, especially at the junior level, is not fully predictable. And honestly, while BnF is very well paid, it can also get quite boring. Try finding at least one area of law you genuinely enjoy alongside it.
I wanted to know how do I develop my profile to suit for this practice area & apply for internships.
I want to work at commercial banks from the very start.
Please help by suggesting measures.
Thanx
i mean good for you obviously
At last, I am thinking that maybe I should give another attempt (would be my third) and keep on trying till I get a T1 college. The first attempt didn't go well due to a surprise analytical reasoning question (2025) which messed up my mental and subsequently, the whole paper. Then, in 2026, a similar mistake happened, which cost me 7 marks and didn't have proper GK coverage (even though I read from two compendiums, facilitated by my own research and another magazine for state exams). Though, the rank inflation also facilitated me getting into HNLU.
I appreciate any advice. Thank you.
P.S. - At least in my second attempt, I had a fire inside me that told me that I couldn't reach my potential due to my brain giving up at that AR question and not turning back on (like when you keep on reading but you don't understand a thing), therefore I still had room to improve before I would hit my ceiling, however the same thing happened (I tried all the methods I could during my preparation - giving mocks with a 10 minutes deficit, when extremely sleepy, with a lot of disturbances, etc., and on the day of the exam - box breathing, doing something else and coming back to it, etc. to no avail).
Majority of the best faculty has left SLSP because of ▮▮▮ attitude and forcing all to go for ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮ publication. As per the Scopus authors’s profile 98% of the law, non-law faculty member’s publications are in Engineering, management, and other scientific journals. By many other ▮▮▮ gets to maintain the rank of SLSP in NIRF. ▮▮▮
