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?
Your firm will most likely have a POSH committee and redressal mechanism. Please approach a committee member that you are comfortable with. Most firms take such matters seriously, and at the least, the relevant people will be spoken to.
On your second question, it would not be fair to generalise.
It also makes me wonder how it’ll be when I’m older and married. Will my husband be flirting with someone 15-20 years younger. I’m dejected, disgusted and am at the verge of quitting every single day. Any advice would help, please be kind 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
1. GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
The character of the NUJS governing bodies has transformed radically since the Left years and the tenures of Menon, Chimni and Singh. Today, the NUJS governing bodies are dominated by people who are either members of the TMC holding official posts, or people very closely associated with the TMC, such as certain legal and governmental people.
2. VC HEDGING
The new VC has practically been wearing Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak till now: missing in action, out of town and not organising any major event or initiative. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that he is waiting for the election results, because the governing bodies he reports to will undergo a sea change if the regime changes.
3. FACULTY AND ADMIN STAFF
Many professors and admin staff are heavily political. However, some of us speculate that their loyalties are not truly ideological and may shift.
4. CULTURE WARS (from CAA to JSD)
The student body and alumni at NUJS are split between liberals (the vast majority) and conservatives. The CAA controversy saw this come to the fore. There were two opposing signature campaigns by alumni (reported by the old LI). The anti-BJP signatories clearly outnumbered the pro-BJP ones. Jagdeep Dhankar was banned from campus, Derek O’Brien was welcomed. More recently, there was an effort to ban J Sai Deepak from campus and in the end he voluntarily withdrew.
I have gotten mid 80s in both and have a good batch rank in a t1
Coming to general corporate roles in-house, that totally depends on your luck, if anything opens. If it is a well paid opening, GC or M&A guys would have an edge over you.
All in all if you need better hours and very less pay, exchanges are the way to go. A bit higher pay and decent hours - then inhouse counsel roles, but GC and M&A guys would be preferred. GREAT pay and shitty hours - IB is the way to go, but you need a grip over finance.
Ideal timeline is ASAP, the more you stay the more it is difficult to get out of this niche.

That Supreme Court case someone linked is really bad - it looks like they didn't admit the WP at all, and in any case it's crazy that no one placed the MOIA notification before the Court. I don't think it should bar you from enrolling.
The second issue is which bar council you intend to register with. Delhi (where I practice) is very good towards OCI cardholders- they see this routinely, and will help you out with the process. Someone I know tried in TN, but they made life quite difficult for them. This depends from state to state.
Good luck! Just declare everything honestly on the bar admission form and you'll be fine. :)
Should i go for private mbbs , hnlu or a tier 2 engineering college. I was also thinking about lsr or srcc eco hons as my cuet mocks scores are good.
Is hnlu good as the placements are just 37 38 out of 180 students
if non snapdragon = try asus zenbook, hp omnibook 7 aero (ryzen 7 AI), or lenovo ideapads. All 3 have decent battery life, and are super lightweight. Their performance is decent. Lenovo Yoga is also a good option

Can also look into the criminal cases he was involved in and you'd get to know ▮▮▮
This says all that needs to be said of your competence to make this statement. Stick to the bong, leave serious thought to those better suited to it. AI is a bubble and will pop.
I'm starting as an associate at one of the tier 1's. Since I had spent a large portion of my career at a boutique, I want to understand and prepare myself for the inevitable change in the environment. My time at a boutique firm was primarily in a laxed environment, clocking within 40 hours, handling 2-3 transactions at a time and reviewing transaction documents and handling negotiations.
I'm slightly anxious about the change and hence, would love to hear your thoughts if any of you went through the same situation and how you overcame the same in order to be successful. I'm open to hear any and all observations such as new learnings, things you had to unlearn, soft skills, mannerisms, culture, mindset in approaching work and seniors at a Tier-1 etc.

Always worth it. Anything is possible, nothing is lost in trying. The only way forward is up. There is nothing achieved by staying there and not trying once more, as prospects improve exponentially with every NLU above it.
since independence the motto has been self reliance, what might be shocking for many of the LI readers to hear is that until about late 1970s India was reliant on food aid, remember 1940s bengal famine when 2.5-3 million people died in Bengal, although it was the most industrialised province then, so the summary India was always inward looking and trying to ensure that the basic necessities of its people were met, it never had an export oriented policy outlook (you can read more about it in the polyester prince)
even after the so called liberalisation in 1990s we find that the same bureaucratic and financial hurdles persist, entrepreneurial efforts are mostly in software and services because the investment is low and there are less regulations, just look to your city and think how many manufacturing units have come up in the last two decades and how many shops have come up, just compare
what we need to do is teach value addition and innovativeness in manufacturing and supply chain in our schools, remove maths, remove social studies, teach personal finance and movement up the value chain
And who isn’t desperate for a job? Or maybe you’re that person who never had to struggle for anything and got everything handed through family connections. Pity.
