I have studied abroad and the only person who harrassed me was another fellow Indian / Desi. Given how much Indians (who know each other and see each other everyday, like colleagues) comment about each other unnecessarily regarding things like background, region, language, class, caste, being called a Pajeet once in the US by a redneck you'll never met again is actually much better

Shows the rich depth of work and expertise of the firm.

Don't write it here. Put your head above the water, go on LinkedIn and write openly and publicly. A faculty trade union at one of the UK unis a couple of years ago got outraged by some paycuts happening that their VC communicated by sending an email from his iPhone. They used the hashtag #iPhoneVandalism to talk about those happenings. Similarly, again in the UK context about four years ago, I once saw some student LinkedIn post when professors were on strike due to bad pay and working conditions, using the hashtag #FatcatVC. Get inspiration from such work and do something similar. It may brand you as a troublemaker for a while, but not forever. At the same time, it may actually help to fix issues.

An institution that claims to uphold and teach the protection of rights is itself blatantly violating students’ rights in multiple ways.

The Registrar of HNLU had earlier indicated that taking more than three members would not be an issue during the SBA board meeting - a rare occasion when the Vice Chancellor interacts with students, though often only to speak at length without meaningful engagement. However, just two days before the end-semester exams, the administration abruptly decided to enforce the member cap. Poor hnlu kids after winning so many moots this year, this is what they are getting in return from admin.

This repeated pattern of last-minute decisions seems designed to leave students with no real opportunity to question or resist.

Furthermore, when the Student Body President raised a reasonable request to reshuffle faculty convenors to ensure smoother functioning of committees, the response from faculty members was unexpectedly hostile. They all started aggressively yelling on sba members like they are some criminals and the concern here is that this has been the case since forever. Whenever anyone goes to admin for even a small work, they would 1st enjoy bullying the kids.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that HNLU students seriously need to take a stand and address these ongoing issues.

The quality of professors, on the other hand, is something they cannot be worried about because obviously, why would a national law university focus on the quality of education? We have professors give marks for students who are no longer studying in this university, teach (One cannot call that teaching) from ipleaders, Law Bhoomi articles as reading material, asking questions about the subject is considered a nuisance; marks are almost never based on the actual content. I can count the professors who actually teach subjects that they know about. Students came to HNLU hoping that it would help them advance in their careers, and professors and admin has made it their motive to ensure no student can do well in life. If someone in HNLU achieves something, it is never because of the university, and always despite the university. But guess who will be first in line to take credit for something they never did.

HNLU has possibly the worst admin. The reign of certain profs at the top will inevitably lead to the downfall of this university. The proctorial board follows no due process, and when questions are raised; were met with nothing but empty assurances that are soon broken by an Order of the proctorial board with an extremely unreasonable monetary penalty. This admin thrives off leeching onto students money - and the worst part is, there is absolutely no clarity as to where this money goes. Last time a president-nominate tried to ask these questions, he was slapped with disciplinary actions and eventually his admit card was withheld forcing him to fold.

About the MCC rules, it's almost as if the faculty convener is keeping close track of what happens on LI - sudden praise of the university mooting culture and bam release rules that will make mooting so so much more difficult. 3 member Vis teams don't stand a slightest chance against 15 member contingents that actually make a citation - oh and mind you, this rule was notified just a week or two after the HNLU contingent (6 member team) placed as runners up at Vis east - for the first ever time!

This institution needs a full fledged cleanse where professors that put their egos above student welfare are ousted. There are so so so many things wrong with how things are done in HNLU - I really wish someone reading this can suggest a way for us to report this to authorities that can look into it. I know firsthand of people that have considered ICC and UGC complaints - but the fear of career ending consequences is what stops them. Every day of living in HNLU is not too far from living in hell.

I’m from an NLU and I’ve seen so many actually harmful people. These are people who indulge in bullying, violence, even sexual assault, yet have been placed in leading firms. They have had many complaints against them across multiple of the university’s centre’s disciplinary cells, and have even had the police called in on them.

This begs the question: will law firms hire just anybody to be on their payroll as long as they turn in a halfway decent work regardless of how actively damaging these people are to many others?

I’m not an idealist and I know in a practical sense, it makes sense that any halfway decent worker will get hired. But seeing the kind of people getting into leading firms makes me realise why the law firm culture is so toxic in the first place.

As someone said, the process is really opaque, during my times the rules required a Judge to have four Law clerks, with one from the committee (Examination). I got a good rank (under 20) but never received any call from the registry. I followed up on multiple occasions but nothing concrete came up. I waited for good five months and still nothing happened. The few candidates who were way behind me were picked. Also, certain candidates ranked above me had denied the joining because they were selected in various state judicial services. So, the procedure was opaque.

Apparently, the profiles of selected candidates are placed before the sitting judges and they get to choose from the list.

Hi, I'm gonna graduate this year from law school. I really like the Data Privacy work I've been doing and I think related fields of TMT and IP would be beneficial for this. I'm currently interning at a consulting firm and while I like the work it just feels today that I would end up being worried about more of the pre rather than the laws and action. this feels more business oriented and not law. I genuinely feel confused and at a loss. Would love some guidance on the same.

Guys, there's frivolity and then there's frivolity. I am literally embarrassed at you people. Your politics, even your obssessions, are so damn childish. If you are a representative sample of law students of India, the rest of us should be hanging our heads in shame when comparing you to law students of other countries.

pros -

FRee lunch every Saturday!!!!

You get to leave after all partners leave

Hardly any work most times

Salary cut for every mistake u make, they dont forget this

PS - I am from a t1 college and work here !

CL appears to have serious issues with culture, accountability and professionalism — juniors are expected to work to very high standards, but the approach to mistakes, pay and basic fairness comes across as punitive rather than professional. Senior conduct also appears to fall short of the standards expected in a professional workplace. Not recommended for anyone seeking a stable, respectful or growth-oriented environment. P.S. Prospective candidates should do their own diligence, including speaking to former juniors and reviewing public discussions online before joining.

Hi, wanted to check if anyone knows when AZB Delhi usually sends out internship confirmations. I’ve heard different things — some say around 15 days before, others say about a month prior. I need to sort out PG/accommodation bookings, so just wanted to know the usual timeline. Thanks!

I second this point on the shift from pure compliance to more advisory/structuring work in DP at firms.

I’m currently working with a Data Privacy team, with prior PQE in general compliance, and actively looking to move to Tier 1 teams. At the moment, I assist A1s in making our clients DPDP-compliant, including drafting various website policies and related documentation.

Would really appreciate your help with any pointers on relevant teams/partners (city-wise) that are actually doing this kind of work, and who might be worth reaching out to. Thank you.

Thanks for this really helpful context, especially now with the DPDP rules notified and visibly more DP work on the ground.

Would really appreciate your help with any pointers on relevant teams/partners (city-wise) I could reach out to, and also a more practical sense of how things are actually playing out right now. Thank you.
