Debatable. Personally, it’s a place that shines in corporate placements and that’s about it. Rarely hear of NLUJ folks in spaces like civil services, top tier scholarships like Rhodes, or academia generally, or even places like litigation and judiciary. It’s a tier-1 college no doubt, but doesn’t seem to have the same level of diversity in graduate outcomes as the top 3-4 NLUs.

But let’s be serious - even if NUJS did participate, how many people really believe it will rank ahead of the top 3. Can it even be ranked ahead of NALSAR? It looks highly unlikely. It certainly won’t rank above NLUD or NLS and nowadays, barely any student would choose NUJS as a higher preference over the NIRF top 3. One thing about the top 3 is there are no backdoor entry options like NRI quota and whatnot. All the other tier 1.5 NLUs have this option.

I'm basing it purely based on their meteoric rise in rankings. Perhaps there woll a time when foreigners will come study at Jiggles like the climax scene in Mudhalvan (remade as Nayak in Hindi).

See, Jiggles has already left universities like Humboldt and KU Leuven behind. Purely going by QS, second place after NUS isn't far behind.

Oh pleez. So many faculty members are well known for absenteeism and yet they became permanent, kept getting promoted, played politics to secure various benefits and also became EC members. The absenteeism remained constant.

OVN is likely waiting out for things to settle after May 4. Depending on results, he will makes his bets. In any case NUJS is a pit stop.

Also let's not make a saint out of FM. He supported his pal PJ while the latter hollowed out Patiala. Good that students and alumni called out FM when he kept crowning his broken record.

He is not new to it. He has done it at NALSAR also, when lockdown was announced. ▮▮▮. Then an open house was called he had to apologize, what worked in his favor was that the Uni. remained closed for a very long period due to covid.

When a student filed a complaint against him to the CJ and requested that he not be given another term, his spies informed him about it. He then called the student to his office, asked him to deposit his mobile phone with his PA, and what happened next inside the office can be imagined. He reportedly did the same with a faculty member who then filed a formal complaint against him with the State SC/ST Commission. It seems he has still not learned his lesson. Its time to call him out for his misconduct.

How can the students slap the police? Perhaps the VC can, because if the Police and administration retaliates it would be his neck on the line. Dear Parents of these lovely children will blame the VC for not doing enough. Kaal se tamacha khaane se accha huzur se kha lo. While Sir works on channelising his anger, you use yours to achieve something in life. Best of luck !

As per public information, Amarchand Mangaldas was founded by Amarchand Shroff and Mangaldas Mehta. We all know about the Amarchand line and what happened to the descendants. But what about Mangaldas Mehta, did he have children? Do his descendants currently hold any stake in CAM or SAM? Or has his descendants started their own law firms? Any information on him?

He's one of the two judges who resigned in light of the recent constitutional amendment in Pakistan. He definitely deserves a spotlight as it would be interesting to hear his views on the functionings of Judiciary in Pakistan (and the nation states under military dictatorship). For once let the academic spirit and freedom prevail over the shallow nationalism

Ironically enough, this is a Judge who resigned from the Pakistan Supreme Court speaking out against the Shehbaz Sharif government for creating the Federal Court above the Supreme Court. In his own words, the Constitution he took oath under was dead. Interesting how the RW completely lacks any critical thinking skills and is only obsessed with optics. As one viral Tweet correctly said, "Modi hai to mumkin hai."

You're not wrong. There is dispute within trans community about who really even needs or wants these reservations and welfare schemes. This has long been a dispute between old trans and new trans. Old trans made the case for reservations by comparing themselves to an ostracised marginalised caste/religious group. New trans makes a more individualistic freedom based argument. Of course individualistic self identification can hardly realistically be the basis for compensatory discrimination.

Sorry- just because a two judge bench decided something as abtract an unexamined as "right to self determination of gender identity" is part of article 21- we should all be barred from questioning it? Do we live in a democracy or in judicial oligarchy? Rights read into article 21 by the constitution? you make no sense at all.

Article 21 says this and only this " No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to a procedure established by law".

The idea that "right to self determination of gender identity" is anywhere to be found in ANY plain text or purposive reading of the constitution is just absurd. The words self determination or gender or identity or gender identity are nowhere in the constitution. they werent contemplated by framers and they certainly cannot unequivocally be said to be a part of any transformative reading of it either.

That is it. reading a concept as nebulous as dignity into life itself is a stretch but even if you did that- that right would still be something that governments can deprive someone of according to procedure established by law. That second phrase doesnt vanish simply because judges irresponsibly read into the first.

We have the death penalty in this state- we routinely deprive people of their right to life simpliciter because the procedure is properly established by law.

NALSA specifically gave directions to the union government to make rules on this. This is within the purview of a duly elected legislature. NALSA I would argue was an unconstitutional judgment that is ripe to be overruled.Two judges of the supreme court deciding something so fanciful and artificial should be a right without analysing downstream policy consequences fundamentally violates the separation of powers.

Note also that the current law doesnt actually prevent anyone from identifying as trans or as the opposite sex. People are free to do that still because of A 19. What the law says is that benefits accruing to "transgender persons" under the act will only accrue to enumerated categories- socio cultural groups, people with DSDs, and those forcibly transitioned against their will. There is no reason to argue that not only should a person be free to identify as they please- but that the government is obligated to not only recognise such self claimed identity but also reward it with benefits given to marginalised groups. Surely even if there is a right to identify as you please- there are limitations to such a right as there are limitations to all rights. Those limitations should be properly prescribed by law.

This message is to the PR/Communications team of this firm (Moderators - please don’t block this, no one is being named):

They are your colleagues who are suffering from the jaundice outbreak. You work with them, eat with them, have coffee breaks with them, socialise with them. But you are contesting comments…calling out the commenters as trolls… and we all are watching you. Can you look us in the eyes? How do you even look at yourself in the mirror? Have you not any conscience? You drank the same water…thank god nothing happened to you…What about those who are down? For all the time that you are wasting here, you could have just educated your bosses to send a health advisory to the staff. But they didn’t, their HR didn’t, their admin didn’t, and you didn’t either. Now here is a message that you need to convey to the powers (both outgoing and incoming) - their facades are down. ▮▮▮

This portrayal of the firm is inaccurate. I worked there for six months as an associate, and my experience was quite the opposite. The firm offers a steep learning curve and played a significant role in helping me transition to a Tier 1 firm. The partner was extremely supportive throughout my time there. Their father was like an elder brother to everyone in the office, and their mother was equally warm and caring, treating us like her own children. The quality of work and learning is excellent, especially if one has a genuine interest and willingness to learn.

Let me tell you a story that began with the GFC.

A 2009 graduate from a NLU couldn’t crack anything decent because of acute dearth of opportunities and had to join OSC (a LPO) mainly doing ISDA contracts.

Worked hard for almost 5 years and got a chance to work for CC in UK for 6 months on secondment. After few months in India, got a chance for a year long secondment in a bank in SG. Came back, worked for a year, put all savings to do Masters in Law & Finance. Joined a magic circle firm and worked for 5 years. Now joined a boutique investment/hedge fund with office within the one square mile.

So there is scope for everything mate, it all depends on what you make of it. Things may not be easy and may require endurance, but with courage of conviction and a bit of patience you can make a career in this field. All the best!

Please forgive me if I show any ignorance here. As per my understanding, I know that internship leads to a callback and then assessment and a PPO interview. But this is usually for 4th or 5th year law students right? What about a person who has recently graduated?!

Can he use internships as way to get into a firm? Is it a same process or is there some other manner the process is conducted? Are assessment internships of any use after graduation?

Hi. Can a 2025 Non NLU graduate with a top batch rank and university rank (Top 3) , and internship experience across few T1 and T2 get hired by a law firm this year? However their PQE as of now is just months in litigation. If so, which firms are actively hiring people like this now.

The rank toxicity is so ingrained in the minds of students by some people from previous batches because some dimwitted 5th-years have their whole world revolving around their ranks. My honest advice to my 3rd, 1st, and 2nd years is to just believe in yourself and read the law you are interested in. Don't stop progressing in moots, publications, ADRs and most importantly internships (through personal mail).

I am an A1 and I recently got diagnosed with Arrythmia. Kinda scared for later when I get high BP as well. Bad combo. But anyway, the long hours, no downtime in certain teams is very likely to kill people sooner or later. Why do we push ourselves so much, why can't teams/partners just be like fuck the work at times

The new NUJS VC seems curiously absent from NUJS itself. Instead of direct engagement, he has constituted a “Deans’ Council” to discharge most of his functions, while his own presence on campus remains minimal.

This is particularly disappointing because students had genuine expectations, especially after his public commitments to holding office hours and conducting a monthly General Body meeting. So far, those assurances appear to have quietly faded into the background. There are, of course, whispers about whether NUJS is merely a brief stopover for larger ambitions elsewhere. But those remain, for now, whispers.

NUJS does seem to have a terrible luck with Vice-Chancellors. For now, though, the exercise continues: finding OVN.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a 4th-year law student at a mid-tier NLU. I’m planning to pursue an LL.M. in the UK in the future, mainly targeting Cambridge.

At present, my academic score is around 75–78%. I’m not among the top 10 rankers in my batch in terms of CGPA, which is something I’m a bit concerned about. With academics, I’ve been actively focusing on building my profile through teaching assistantships, publications, and student editorships in journals.

After the graduation, I am planning to go for a judicial clerkship at the Supreme Court for 1–2 years before applying for the LL.M., as I don’t intend to pursue it immediately after law school.

I wanted guidance on:

1. 1. How much does a 75–78% score (without being a top ranker) impact chances at top universities like Cambridge?
2. 2. How competitive are fully funded scholarships like Chevening in such a scenario? And is "75%" gonna reduce my chances of it.
3. 3. What additional steps I can take over the next 1–2 years to strengthen my profile for both admission and scholarships?

Would really appreciate insights from people who have gone through a similar path or have experience with UK LL.M. admissions and scholarships.

Hi everyone, I’m currently working as a Legal Associate at a VC fund. Before this, I had a short stint at a Tier 2 law firm. I moved on from that role due to cultural fit and personal reasons. I now have around 1.5 years of total experience and am looking to transition to a good Tier 1 firm, ideally in the PE/VC space. Can anybody guide me on how to approach this move?

Sadhguru’s credibility is falling day by day. Read the Caravan magazine article on him and his Wikipedia page.

Maybe the NALSAR kids were arrogant. Maybe they were hypocrites, because they bow to Adani and Ambani now. Job probably advises Big Tech, Big Oil, Trump backers, Israel backers, Modi backers etc. But they were still right in going after him.

Awesome!!! I glanced through the full report. Two things are very clear:

First, the critical importance of forensic sciences in the modern-day legal domain cannot be overstated. There's no such thing as too much forensic science. Law without forensic science is like commerce without accounting.

Second, the proposed National Institute of Forensic Science in the UK shows how farsighted India has been in establishing the NFSU. So if anyone thinks that NFSU is competing with the NLUs, they must be delusional. NFSU's mandate and mission are much broader and critical to the country's legal ecosystem.
