I just read about a senior of mine from law school, Umang Poddar, having become a senior journalist with BBC News. He always had a flair for writing, so I was not surprised to know that. Happy for him. Which makes me wonder, how many other law graduates have been pursuing this field earnestly at present? LI Hivemind, can you please mention those whom you may know of? It is an interesting career and does not get enough attention I feel. If law students knew more about such people, then they may become more interested to pursue this line of work. We definitely need plenty of decent journalists in the field, especially in this age of alt-truth and distorted narratives.

p.s. Please keep the trolling and measuring aside in comments. Not really interested to know which law school is the best or how this job is worse than others or how this is an example of law students quitting law altogether.

In hand pay is 10L once you become a legal manager. During the management trainee position it is 50k per month and you have to undergo training for 4-6 months

Don't get fooled by inflated figures. All of these figures are official onea from RCC email. Can even upload screenshots if someone is still doubtful

Haha. Just keeping my options open. KCo has been notoriously hiring laterally and then cancelling PPOs. Wanted to have at least one backup option in place. The TMT team of NDA is pretty good and I guess it can be a primary choice for me as well if I am fortunate enough to get in.

Ah. Here come the Sudhir Hating Internet Trolls again ( abbreviate that how you will)

How many times will this website allow a pile on when it comes to this particular prof- while moderating anything negative about any other professor ? Mod - what is your problem with Sudhir ? Why do you think he deserves to be bullied by the internet so ? Why do you automatically assume students complaining about him are righteous where as students complaining about the former VC of nalsar and accusing him of some terrible behaviour get moderated and silenced ? I’m genuinely curious how you justify this to yourself ?

Have you considered for a moment that Sudhir is a real person who might be affected by this - there is no other word for it - bullying ? That he has a child who could look him up to see this stuff ? These unproven anonymous allegations? Do you think that’s allowing this discussion over and over and over - every week - is a nice compassionate thing to do ? You won’t let women on this website name the perpetrators of sexual assault , you won’t let negative rumours about any other professor be written on this site. But the sole exception seems to be - let’s trash talk about Sudhir. Why? Do you think this is building a good community ? Collectively trashing this man every week or so ? Does that make you feel righteous and superior ? Can you imagine there are things you might not know about him ?

Oh yay. A Sudhir sucks thread. Haven’t seen one of those in a while eh?

Tell me something folks who think Sudhir is abrasive and hateful and devoid of empathy and rude and mean and arrogant and all that stuff.

How would you behave if someone threw firecrackers in your room and tried to cause you physical harm ? All because they were held to a higher standard ? Why are these people reliable character witnesses when they have admitted to being in a mob that tried to harm a teacher simply because they didn’t get the grades they were used to ? Are students automatically victims who should be believed even when they are being violent ? Can it ever be their fault ? Or are children gods ?

If you look up Sudhir Krishnaswamy on google scholar you know what you see ? You see some stuff he’s written but scroll past it and overwhelmingly you’ll see other scholars - younger scholars - thanking him for mentoring them, thanking him for his support , thanking him for reading drafts and giving comments. Here’s something else - Sudhir works with younger scholars far more than any other person I know his age- but there’s never been a credible allegation of improper behaviour or of plagiarism etc. in fact year or year Sudhir writes many recommendation letters supporting students who want to study further - clearly all those students have managed to be on his right side, they have managed to meet his standards , and think of him as approachable enough to ask him this. What’s more - he’s grown NLSIUs faculty multiple fold in the last few years. Mostly by hiring young people. Surely if Sudhir was this awful person all these young faculty would be reluctant to work with him ? Surely if he was an awful arrogant egotistical person - other scholars his age would hesitate to work with him ? He would be a man with no friends in academia yes ? But look - many scholars his age do like him enormously. They do want to work with him. He has many many friends.

I don’t think that all of this would happen if he was this awful person. Surely something must be askew no ? Which version of Sudhir do we believe ? The one anonymous Internet trolls who defend violent mobs repeatedly talk about ? Or the one many many established scholars have thanked and praised under their own name ? One where many people have worked under his mentorship ? One that established professionals in his field see ?

Is it possible that the man isn’t devoid of empathy or arrogant or rude , but that he is simply nice to people who are nice to him. And rude to people who are rude to him ? Could we ask any human being to erase themselves so much so that they were nice to people who were physically harming them ? Is that fair ? Is it fair to criticise him for leaving a place where his safety was at risk ? Is that really loyalty or are we asking for him to humiliate himself ?

This is not just about Sudhir K. Sudhir K is an example of how good scholars are hounded out of academia by entitled violent students who are never told that they could be wrong. Or that they will have to be nice to their professor if they want nice treatment. That basic adulthood stuff we all manage to do.

They pay 17l to freshers in the Mumbai office (do not know how it is split) and the working hrs are pretty relaxed. Consider only ICICI, Mumbai ; YES Bank, Mumbai (since its full of ex ICICI people); HSBC/HDFC, Mumbai ; Bharatpe, Gurgaon; Wipro, Bangalore - if you are considering an in-house career since they are pretty well organized and headed by competent lawyers + management. As far as ICICI, Mumbai is considered, they only do campus recruitment from SLSP, NUJS & NLSIU is what I have observed. There is a very big difference in pay at the senior levels if you compare pay scales with law firm people.

Definitely not Indus, AZB or Saraf which have handed out PPOs to many NUJS, NLUO and NALSAR kids and definitely not Bharucha or Trilegal where a lot of Symbiosis, Pune people have been given PPOs. Khaitan and SAM have handed out many PPOs to NLS and NLU-J guys. CAM is biased to GNLU and JGLS so yeah, the 2024 hiring seems pretty balanced.

I was encouraged reading this article today, about a magical weight-loss drug that is likely to hit the market. But in all probability doctors will only prescribe it to seriously obese people (100 kg +) with heart and diabetes problems.

There is no PE/VC. Gen Corp work is muddled with commercial work. The Gen Corp teams generally handle real estate too. Wait for 10-15 years when industries and businesses come to the city. You will get corporate work then. Honest remark- Kolkata is developing but at a really slow pace. It should have already had the same status like Bangalore.

He was a good student in ST Joseph and an excellent alumni from NLS Bangalore. After Rhodes , he became a name and everyone wanted to hire him. However MP Singh gave him his first break. ▮▮▮. Dude ▮▮▮ unnecessarily set the standards of the class extremely high. Standards which were not really friendly for an undergraduate student. Now this may sound tempting to call him a professor of rigour but trust me half of the students in Nujs use to hate these because well noojies and so as every other good nlu student focus on healthy education not some course which requires donkey hard-work ▮▮▮. He was in loggerheads with almost everyone at the college ▮▮▮. He was an excellent student and a genuinely good scholar. But a ▮▮▮.

Cut to current times , he used to have a knack for top rankers in clat as he believed they would contribute significantly to university’s development but not anymore as he has rightfully realised that there isn’t much difference between the top 20 rankers. I know some students who are dying to get mentorship from sudhir but won’t cause he doesn’t like them. From the batch of 2026-batch of 2029 , he might just listen to you for a bit if you approve of his hustle culture by publishing rigorously or just have been consistently among the top rankers. I don’t approve of his teaching methods. The dude is ▮▮▮. He will only respect if you have a book in your hand in NLSIU campus and meditate. He might be in that Facebook board of powerful leaders but in reality he is not considerate at all.

NUALS had a Rhodes Scholar in 2016

& yes why others smoking is better than yours as anyone would know through minor research that in Delhi accomodation allotted from respective departments acc. quota & dffrn b/w term equivalence v. parent deputation. Bring atleast sasta wla malana cream you'll get some sense

The SC SG most definitely had a bunglow just near the SC - quite near Sisodia's bunglow in fact. The former SG's outburst at a cop was also reported in the media. Go Google.

Plus, DJ rank officers do in fact get bunglows. There's literally a government accommodation called "Sessions House" in civil lines.

As for your snide quore/coaching remark, if that makes you feel better, sure buddy. I'm content knowing that what I have shared is based on personal knowledge, and am also confident that your counter is based merely on the surmise that since MPs don't get bunglows, DJs won't either. How about getting some actual on-the-ground knowledge once you graduate & interact with the judiciary?

There's no difference in quality between the good NLU journals like those from NLSIU, NALSAR, NUJS Law Review etc. and JGLR. The student run thing is the only problem. In fact, one of NLSIU's lesser known journals, the consumer law one, could get indexed in SCOPUS only because it isn't student run. Indexation in SCOPUS is hardly a guarantee of quality anymore. Even the journal from North Bengal University is indexed in SCOPUS at present, as are many predatory journals.

Whatever smoking but better than yours. SG is given secretary to GoI rank & while RG is given Pr. Secretary rank of state so both are allotted banglows in lutyens zone from SC & DHC accomodation pool. Even DJ of Patiala Court allotted 2 story type 6 flat accomodation in lutyne zone. Go & make query from your non quora sources. & hype krne ki chij hai too hype kiya jaye ga

Barring first five older institutes, all other NLUs started as mediocre law colleges and they remain extremely mediocre. Some of them are so bad, you can not send your child to study for one year like Jabalpur, Ranchi, Patna, Shimla or Sonipat. Naturally they will be toxic. Any academic institution where faculty is mediocre and below average, and students are entitled with a false sense of ego, that is bound to be toxic and unhealthy.

The good older NLUs like Bangalore and Hyderabad were never toxic and they remain amazing even now.

There was a link shared on LI with a list of colleges whose grads get the most Magic Circle TCs. There were no NLUs, but rather Oxbridge, LSE, KCL, UCL, Warwick, Durham, Edinburgh, Manchester etc. So why should someone send their child to an NLU if they can afford these colleges? Apart from overseas career prospects and superior faculty and infrastructure, you should also look at the social side. It’s so much nicer to live in the UK than in India.

I don't think you should blame Sudhir for the Karnataka HC argument. That was made by some Bengali graduate of NLSIU who was ASG at the time. Sudhir invalidated the High Court's wrong opinion about NLS being a "national" institute and ensured that NLS had domicile reservations, and in effect, brought it back to being on par with all other NLUs that are also similar state universities like NLSIU. So, actually, Sudhir helped other NLUs by bringing down NLSIU and then introducing a massive expansion plan to dilute student quality.

Relationships between a Hindu girl and a Muslim guy are common. However, relationships between Hindu guys and Muslim girls are a rarity. Firstly because even in 2023, very few Muslim girls go for higher education in a good place. Secondly, there is a chance of the girl's family members ▮▮▮.

As an NLUO student, allow me to give as neutral an answer as possible

Placements have been very good this year. However, a lot of it has been for consulting firms like quislex. That has statpadded our recruitment numbers. Still, the numbers for tier-1 and tier-2 recruitments are record breaking.

When it comes to mental health, the problem is from both sides; students try to find any possible reason to not give exams, submit projects late, etc. For example, due to hot weather in Odisha, students started spamming mails just a week before end sems about how it would not be possible to give exams in such conditions, and were asking for making the exams optional or cancelling them altogether.

On the other hand, the administration has become extremely high-handed and has started taking absolutely arbitrary decisions concerning the students without consulting the students at all. For example, they have started 3 new courses without giving a thought about having enough space in the hostels or the mess. Due to this, they are forcing locals to not take hostel rooms. (Before anyone here starts moaning about how this same thing is there in NLUD, allow me to remind you that we don't live in the middle of Dwarka with great metro connectivity. We live in the outskirts of a tier 3 city and the surrounding areas do see a lot of crime).

These are just individual examples (from both sides). Both students and the administration need to get their acts together before this college loses its current record breaking charm (at in tier 2 terms)

Tell me one research institute that has 0.1% of the budget of MIT and Stanford. The Shroffs give money to Oxford. If that's not colonial mentality, what is. American rich people donate to universities in their own country. At least our reservations are trying to compensate for historic discrimination. American diversity quotas were introduced because Jewish and then Asian people were doing so well in exams that they wanted to restrict their numbers Singapore-style and preserve their freedom to take in undeserving white kids. Look up the number of legacy admissions at Harvard.

NLUO has apparently broken records in tier 2 nlus with almost 80 placements in their outgoing batch of 23' placing almost all the recruiting class. The campus however apparently has a mental health crisis, the students are distraught. What is happening and are better placements not helping? I hope I get responses from students of nluo

Now that a court has said this, it needs to be asked:

1. Does the right to free speech include the right to criticise or ridicule or reinterpret Islamic beliefs?

2. Are Muslims more intolerant to criticisms of their religion than other religious groups?

Amish Aggarwala, is an established YouTube Star with a license to practice the law. He has loads of lawyers and laypeople alike as his followers. He recently released this clip which, to me, appears to be bad in law. The comments show that this clip has gained significant traction amongst laypeople who are misled and disenchanted with the Indian legal system. This clip can prompt people to file cases that they perhaps even shouldn't.

Shouldn't we have checks and balances against such misinformation? -

It IS law-related! OP is highlighting the woes of dating as a lawyer. It’s hard if you haven’t paired up with someone in law school. The profession gives you very little time for socialising. Also, it’s hard if you are a guy because girls are mostly interested in MBAs and tech bros.
