Please stop providing articles where your ▮▮▮ is getting exposed more and more. Yes a generous campus has been donated but half of the infra is not even complete. How can you say that it’s good already when you haven’t even used it? Moreover the factors like student quality placements publications or internships are clearly missing from the USP of this college. Even moots. This college should be avoided at all cost. Y’all should from NUALS or Patiala. At least they are still trying.

World infrastructure with third class placements with even worse students and athletic internships. Well this is still the dream. Because now even the world class infrastructure doesn’t exist. It will exist. And other factors which can make a college - lol forget about it. Pleas e don’t paint a rosy picture. MNLU Nagpur is not good and tier-3 at best.

I don’t want to take names but I heard that someone particular (in a powerful position) from the BO’▮▮▮ has done several controversial actions and even called out openly for that. I hope this won’t get redacted because it spills nothing or tarnishes no one’s image. These things should be discussed with secrecy and this is what’s happening.

What are you smoking? The registrar general of DHC and SC are not alloted bungalows in Lutyens.

I am an A1 married to a lawyer turned businessman. We dated for 3 years before tying the knot, so you can tell that I knew him well enough before entrusting him with my life.

Very honestly, I have the best of both the worlds. Since, he was at one point a part of the fraternity, its easier for me to explain and tell him what I do in a day, he understands how transactions take place, how drafts get negotiated, counsels get briefed, the functioning of the High Court, how orders are passed, how hectic it gets at times, etc.

On the flip side, since he's ventured out of law into business, he brings in a fresh breathe of air into my life. As a person, he's the most easy going chill

Indus, Hyderabad is involved in just advisory work and Indus, Delhi has teams which mostly do not take freshers - barring Capital Markets where the attrition is quite high due to the very well known toxic partners. Indus, Bombay has a growing Banking & Finance practice so trying that out should probably work for you. Overall, Indus is a very rapidly growing law firm which is soon going to be considered Tier 1 across a lot of practice areas but do tread with caution and care as far as certain teams are concerned. Thanks.

A) Job brings responsibility & responsibility bring pressure so there is no job w/o work pressure and can't be compared with other. Either go for JS or LO both have high pressure.

B) Scope & opportunities are now better in Judicial Service after the craze for this service touching sky. LO's promotion scope is quite limited & depend upon department/org. policy where as promotion scope & policy is uniform in Judicial Service throughout nation.

Conclusion - Dono ke liye apply kar do agr Dono nikal jaye to J.S ko preference dena

Draconian Examination and hostel policies coming up, panicking amongst students and high attrition of faculties.

The University is known for it's mooting culture yet as per the new policy, students will get only once chance every year to appear for a 70 marks end-sem exam. Unlike, earlier students won't have the privilege for taking exemption exams and prepare for moots. Mooting culture will be on a toll due to this policy.

I know this might seem like a stupid question to some, but I genuinely do not know how. I am in my final year of a 3-year LLB. Our college doesn't have placements. The only way I can get a job at a good corporate firm is through networking, I've heard. How do I go about this? Especially in LinkedIn, do I just randomly message people working at firms?

Manchester is not worth it because it’s doing pretty badly recently. Also the prestige of it among the UK unis has fallen considerably. Now prestige as metric is defined under the Russell Group criteria not normal ‘prestige’. So the OP gave correct info although Cardiff is doing pretty well recently.

I understand that predicament. If you have anything resembling run of the mill law firm life, you have little free time and even less free energy in that time. Please consider getting a workout trainer or yoga teacher. If they can come home that’s even better and is possible in most cities; but even if it’s 3x a week you should be able to manage going to the gym or yoga studio. I couldn’t have done it on my own in those early days of understanding working out and nutrition - a good trainer can sort you out in a dozen different ways and has almost certainly seen your kind of situation before.

Be careful with fad diets and intermittent fasting, etc - I experimented with these without professional guidance and experienced a whole different set of unanticipated issues.

On top of all this, the bosses in general are horrible. The work culture there is extremely toxic and I think they take pride in their "hustler culture" which is just yelling at people. There have been multiple instances in one of their more infamous teams, where all the seniors are just a**h*les. Whenever things have been escalated to the higher-ups, no one has batted an eye. Other than that, a few of them are also incompetent. Steer clear of this firm for your own good.

NDA doles out PPOs in fifth year of law school. But they do, generally, require you to intern multiple times before you get that offer. This is because their hiring is extremely selective. The TMT team is one of the best in the business with an extremely accommodating and collaborative work culture.

Big 5 IITs lead from India. But no Indian university in top 100. Only IITB and IITD in top 200. IISC out of top 200. JNU and Jindal fall.

Highest ranked university in Asia is NUS Singapore (#9). China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Taiwan also do well.

3. Which relationship is more common: Hindu boy-Muslim girl, Hindu girl-Muslim boy, or Hindu queer-Muslim queer?

The only college that seems to give any damn about these rankings seems to be NLU D. The fudged up rankings seem to be the single source of solace for people to lay claim how they are better than NLS-NALSAR.

I don't blame them. Symbi has already been declared to be better than NALSAR. Savitabai better than GNLU. So obviously these colleges will swear by NIRF and obviously it boils down to low self esteem. The truth is your individual mettle matters more than any ranking. You can become the best while coming from a low ranked college. And if NIRF has established anything it is that its rankings are a sham.

LegaLogic has the most work and associates amongst any Pune law firms. They hire freshers and experienced both.

Legasis Partners had a full fledged corp team in Pune but it recently moved to LegaLogic. Legasis is trying to set up a Litigation team in Pune, and may be a good opportunity to start. Desai & Dewanji recently opened in Pune. AZB has an office in pune but the work culture is awful. StratJuris is also a prominent small law firm in pune and may hire freshers.

Its 12+2l but the working hours are crazy. Its a good springboard to jump shift to tier 1s but most of the chaps here are unable to survive the place due to obvious reasons. C&M, Gaggar and Sarvada seem like the better alternatives thereof. And for heaven's sake DO NOT DREAM to make it to Trilegal's anti-trust team, it might seem like the endgame for competition lawyers because of the pay but insiders know how hellish it feels to work there. Thanks and good luck!

Not worth joining tho if you are getting the above colleges I mentioned. Look in UK it’s not a tier structure , so the rankings don’t really matter. This has been traditional in the UK game for law. It falls under the Russell Group yes but personally when I talked to some of the Brits ( who made it big into magic circle from UCL , LSE and Oxbridge ) - they have a general antipathy towards Manchester and even Cardiff for that matter. Hiring has slowed down in recent years in Manchester with uk students getting the top priority. International students are facing the heat and trust me this is just the beginning. ROI wise as well - it’s just not worth it as compared to the aforementioned universities.

MBA anywhere will be a good option for you. But don’t compare yourself with Naiyya Saggi. Her Harvard admit was secured 70% because she worked for McKinsey, 10% because of the NLSIU tag and 20% because she is a girl and Harvard likes gender balance. Do any of these apply to you?

Ahmedabad at best deserves a couple of round 1 matches. Dharamshala deserves no matches. Mohali’s exclusion is shocking, as Tharoor says. It’s totally influenced by 2024 elections + bias of Anurag Thakur/Nadda and Modi/Jay Shah. WB is a non-BJP state but they did get 18 seats and expect more in light of the TMC scams, which explains Kolkata knocking out Chennai, where BJP has no hope. Bengaluru lost the semis as punishment for voting BJP out.

Ahmedabad is a dry state, so they should only host matches featuring Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. No other teams.

Cycling, walking, jogging. Cardio is what will help you lose wait. Start eating healthy, that alone makes half the difference. Make a no eating out rule, you will not order anything at all. Hire cook/maid. It will not cost much, start having dals, vegetables, rajma, chhole, channe, sprouts regularly. Use less ghee and butter, try to eat eggs and poultry (lean meats).

Simply cutting out sugar and junk food will help you so much, not only with your weight and how you look, but the inside of your body as well. A calorie deficit is also integral for weight loss, you do not need to starve, just eat healthy and do rigorous exercise (jogging is the best).

He sure did. Was one of MP Singh’s recruits. Was recruited directly at Professor level, when he should have been at Assistant Professor level. That saved him at least 10-15 years and allowed him to get NLSIU VCship quickly. Thus, Sudhir owes a massive debt to NUJS. But gratitude is not one of his qualities, else he would not have argued in the Karnataka HC that only NLSIU deserves national status, not NUJS or NALSAR.

As for Sudhir’s experience at NUJS, he had given an interview to the NUJS student newsletter arrogantly saying that he never heard of NUJS and joined only because of MP Singh. He was also an unpopular teacher for various reasons.

The average middle class also knows about NALSAR , it’s just that they are very new establishments. Remember IIT is not only famous for the 1 crore package but also for JEE advanced. While clat is getting extremely competitive by every minute and the success to grab a seat at the top NLUs is even less than .05 percent , it will receive more hype day by day. It does to a certain extent already and people are academically inclined towards law as a career majority of the reasons due to clat. Also don’t forget it’s very unpredictable something which the average middle class will take time to understand. But with the number of application pool increasing every year and the droppers steadily increasing for clearing the exam , it’s definitely gonna get some footage in future years. The average package of NLUs (top 5 at least) still gives the middle class pool a good satisfaction. It will do more.

Moderator, it’s shocking you’re allowing anonymous dating like this, knowing the culture of catfishing, gaslighting, scamming and toxic masculinity. When Tinder and Bumble exist why should LI be used as a dating site? If you want you can open your own dating/matrimonial app for lawyers and seek funding on the next season of Shark Tank.

Correct!

Under Indian tax law, 50% of a lawyer's professional receipts (income) are assumed to have been spent on professional expenses such as junior's fee, clerk's salary, travelling expenses, etc. Therefore, you are liable to pay tax only on 50% of your income although, strictly speaking, this is not legal if you are working in a law firm as a salaried person and therefore have zero professional expenses. Law contains this loophole as this provision assures tax collection on at least 50% of the income without wastage of anyone's time and energy!

Law also permits professional expenses to be over 50% but for that your accounts need to be certified as having been "audited" by a chartered accountant who, by using "creative accounting" techniques, can increase the professional expenses way beyond 50%!

M&A no clue but they outperform in the Capital Markets and Disputes space. A lot of people have overhyped the firm for no good reason to be very honest; simply because their partners are known to be seasoned from the best foreign law firms who have set up swanky offices in Mumbai & Delhi. They pay is very high to say the least so if given a chance to work/intern there then go for it and let us know about how you felt!

1) Capital Markets [No LLM needed - Singapore, Hong Kong and New York shifting is possible]

2) Funds [No LLM needed - New York and London shifting is possible]

3) Banking & Finance [LLM needed - New York and London shifting is possible]

4) Tax [LLM needed - New York and London shifting is possible]

5) White Collar Crimes [LLM needed - New York and London shifting is possible]

6) International Arbitration [LLM, excellent acads + moots needed - New York, London & Singapore shifting is possible]

7) TMT [LLM needed - California, Canada, Australia and London shifting is possible]

This is true. However, for a fresher, it is important to get that tag off one's own self, for which P&A is still a good choice. After one year there, the person can easily shift to T1 firms. Not every place will give a fresher an opportunity otherwise unless through campus placement.

This seems like a trollish post. This course is only in its 2nd batch, so how does "placement for toppers" even come into the picture? First you top, then let's see. As such NFSU already has nearly 40+ organizations coming for placements for its other courses - all being PG courses.

Please don't worry about how good legal education is at MNLU Nagpur. We are fortunate enough to learn from ex CJIs who are our distinguished professors and do conduct lectures occasionally.

https://www.nlunagpur.ac.in/people_officers.php

Please check our faculties before commenting anything about education.

Also, Placements is not a metric which you use to gauge quality legal education. I can give you a huge list of institutions that Excel at research and publication but don't get enough placements.

Education is about the people you interact with in the university and what you learn out of the interaction.

Infrastructure can only facilitate the interaction, rest remains up to the students.

Also, Infrastructure should be boasted of too. There are aspirants who prefer better infrastructure and facilities over anything.

MNLU Nagpur is an infrastructural Marvel. And this needs to be well known.

The Institution being a NLU in itself is a mark of quality legal education. All NLUs offer the best education you can get in Law.

Again I can give you a list of institutions with great placements and no trace of even regular lectures.

Please don't be prejudiced. It's so myopic of you if you feel good thinking that MNLU Nagpur has a library which is short of quality books to read. We are NLU because we are rich in resources in the first place.

The 5% success rate of CLAT itself shows quality legal education.

Agreed, people don't go for reading manuscripts in museum, the fact that we are th first institution to have the first museum of its kind needs attention.

Look I mean it’s very easy to prove this. Show me the post that praised Sahana Ramesh as a rockstar. Aakanksha Kumar is very senior to Pranav and Dhanda is senior to all of them so the idea that these people are seen as “ all rockstars” actually proves my point. Women have to be exceptional to earn that word- men just have to be. ( although I don’t think that word has been used for AK at all).

The last three Rhodes scholars from nalsar were women. Be honest- this is an anonymous forum where there’s no point to lying at all - without a google search - could you even name them ?could you tell me what they work on? How about the first female president of the student body council ? That is the sort of thing that should create a myth right ? Can you tell me one fact about her other than her name ? ( because you can look that up )?

My journey of losing weight:

- intense control on diet - no wheat, potatoes, besan, maze, junk. Replaced sugar with khandsaari, wheat with jowar, Oats, rice, singhada atta. I had not reduced how much I ate but only what I ate. Increased consumption of fruits a lot in the morning

- timing of eating - breakfast before 9:30, lunch between 12:30 and 1:30, dinner before 7

- yoga 5 days a week for 45 minutes

Oh cut the crap on how much better the Western institutions are. I already know that. Indians are very good at working like donkeys when a white guy is in charge but the same Indian in India will usually have a poor work ethic and be sleazy. That’s a colonial mentality. And exactly how are Indian institutions supposed to improve with the high amount of brain drain?

Nirf data also proves this. But that's because engineering colleges have a large number of courses and higher intake. The CS/ECE students from top iits/nits/iiits definitely earn than top nlu grads.

Also in most nlus, there isn't that much difference between the highest package and the median package which is why nlus can't brag abt 1 crore packages and all.

However in the long run, Law definitely pays better since it values experience unlike the IT sector. The avg partner makes much more than an avg engineer after 10yrs from graduation.

Which nlu apart from nls, nalsar and nujs manages to place "almost everyone who wishes to get a job" exactly? And how exactly do you quantify "graduate outcome"? Let me remind you that the nlus are not just the top 4-5 ones, there are currently 26 NLUs in the country. How exactly you've managed to determine which college's "graduate outcome" is what amongst so many thousand students who graduate from all the nlus and jindal and other institutions of the like is frankly beyond me.

And what 30 years? Most of the nlus haven't even been around for 39 years. Perhaps when you talk about "NLUs" you're really just talking about NLS. And may I point out to you that NLS hasn't even released placements stats since the pandemic began.

They haven't changed it in nearly a decade: 12+2LPA.

Kid, take some advice: Mr. Pathak was a very reputable name back in his day. Given its payscale, it used to be among our first few choices back in the first half of 2010s.

Today, that firm has not had any major wins in a long time — look at news portals, they only ever mention them when they lose matters for Amazon. They've lost a lot of clientele, and Mr. Pathak has turned from a charismatic leader to someone who people wouldn't recognise, unless they're specifically an old timer in competition law.

None of the firm's other partners have really ever made their name in anything much yet - their street cred isn't great, and they're not highly ranked anywhere either. This is not to take away from the fact that some genuinely nice & brilliant people work there, but merely acknowledge that firms that are solely governed by an old person not in their prime — are not a safe bet for starting your career. If Rajiv Luthra's demise has hurt a T1 firm that badly, you should practically imagine the risks that come with joining here.

I am an Assessment Intern in a Tier 2 firm. I was a callback intern and now I am an assessment intern. I am getting work directly from the partners. Now, I'm nearing the end of my Assessment Internship. What can I expect? How does it go from here? How do I bring up the discussion for a PPO?

May I request the NUJS meme page moderator to please remove the meme with the image of the chimpanzee drinking an energy drink? Chimps and monkeys are treated very cruelly to get such photos for entertainment. It's not a joke. Let's stick to memes where no animals were harmed in their making.

Kian/R, please highlight my comment if you care about animal cruelty.

Lol, imagine being an alum of NLUJ and still having such a low estimation of your alma mater. This is where students of the top 4 seem to differ. They have so much pride that they'll defend their NLUs to the death even if they're not that good. I guess there's a good and bad side to that.

IITians are treated as gods in India while the average middle-class person has barely heard of NLUs, other than perhaps NLSIU. The media gives an impression that every IITian earns 1 crore a year starting salary. This video interview of two IITB grads shows a very different picture. I'm not disputing the 1 crore salaries, but perhaps on average IITs and NLU grads are closer than what people think? Maybe what NLUs really need is media hype?
