no true scotsman is it? if you dont want to say this dude is the best nalsar had to offer then youre not a nalsarite anymore? ive got no problem with pranav at all. but being popular is not the same thing as being the best professor. Sid C has constantly been the best professor. He holds students to high standards, doesnt compromise, and yet supports and teaches you complex ideas and enables you to carry out high quality work. thats just a fact. If you asked pranav- hed agree.

10/54 was for the first batch of 21.

Consider 25 going for litigation.

Then it is 11/25 for first batch.

MNLU Nagpur is humble & blessed with such number for the very placement for very first batch.

The quality of this young institute could also be determined by comparing the very first batch of other young NLUs which were started around the same time period.

No such Young NLU has even infact released stats for their first batch.

Among other NLUs & specifically Young NLUs ,perhaps MNLU Nagpur is the only inst. trying to participate in all statutory rankings & recognition process.

Most other young NLUs infact shy away from revealing place-stats of first batch but we did.

Anyways the doubt & question of Comparing NLU Nagpur itself with old biggies in the circuit itself raises credibility of Nagpur.

Students scoring between 93.5 to 99 percentile to get 25-50 percent scholarships. This year the scholarship has been reduced tremendously. Is it still wise to join Jindal when I can join other NLUs or just retake clat? The fee is not coming down below 6 lakh even for the scholarship holders.

To the admin of the NUJS meme society, please stop posting memes targeting individuals or based on internal secret matters. There are people from other colleges who follow that page and ideally, they shouldn't be knowing all these. The things related to ADR or CRC should ideally stay within the campus only!

The best capital markets lawyers have somehow moved in-house or had to leave the practice. Due to which even the best teams (i.e. The Amarchand’s and never AZB) are languishing ▮▮▮.

Eg: Neha Samant, Navodita Gupta, Nidhi Parekh & Etc

Guess neither could win the popularity contest amongst the so-called “old boys club”

PS - R will get a toffee if he/she publishes this comment. Just remember to look outside SEBI on a weekday for a man handing out toffees.

While the placement cell is very dormant, my peers managed to secure good placements (by themselves) ie Induslaw, JSA, CAM, Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan. The college hasn't updated the website because these placements weren't handled by the college itself.

The campus is good, but the T&P cell has to put a lot more effort into bringing campus recruitment. This is my honest opinion.

I need a time management course as I feel I do not use my time effectively. I focus too much on minor things and get distracted easily. Udemy's course costs Rs 449 and is 2 hours long. Dhruv Rathee's course is 5 hours long but costs more than 10 times (Rs 4,800). Which one is better? Any idea? Any other courses that are good?

https://www.udemy.com/course/do-more-stress-less/

https://academy.dhruvrathee.com/

Does the work entail making videos like Dhruv Rathee and is Dhruv Rathee himself employed by the Congress IT cell? If yes, the pay must be awesome. The guy lives king size. These days regularly uploads vids of himself flying first class with his stunning German wife, most recently on Singapore Airlines.

So I'm totally interseted! How can I apply?

There is little doubt that Modi will win and be PM again. What the opposition is really hoping for is that the BJP goes down to 220 seats and then becomes a weak government at the mercy of corrupt regional parties, much like the UPA was. The moment regional parties come to power, you will see scams happening and governance suffering, like during the UPA. If that happens, then the BJP will struggle to win in 2029, mirroring the UPA in 2014. So the focus will be on 40-50 marginal seats that will make the difference between 220 and 270. Thus, these think tank recruits will just be IT cell warriors (as already pointed out) who will try as hard as possible to hurt the BJP electorally in 40-50 marginal seats. So my guess is that the NLU recruits will be from certain key swing states, such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, Bihar and West Bengal.

So effectively, you bill and recover, and you will be paid. Like at all other law firms.

Just astonished that the senior partners didnt fight for the team they took with them? I am sure some internal discussion must have happened on this front as well.

Does this affect the Partners only? Or the entire team including associates?

Part of the decision? Was this an internal decision not to take salaries? or did AD make the decision for them?

Okay. First of all we don’t know what intention was behind OP’s usage of the word ‘rock star’. I am pretty sure he meant it in his academic context. I agree with you that the term ‘rockstar’ has given rise to toxic heteronormative stereotypes on multiple occasions. But that’s certainly not the type of education nalsar inculcates. I mean I have seen people calling toppers of the other gender superwoman and that does generate a conducive atmosphere for learning and nurturing other orientations as well. Yet just the term or tag of ‘superwoman’ is really not accommodative of the entire mails dominance that is persisting. Now that I have mentioned this , don’t you think this thread never entered into the area of ‘slightest acknowledgement’ in the first place? Don’t get me wrong but that was never mentioned

No. In percentage of the recruitment batch placed, NLUD is definitely ahead. Not our fault that majority of people at NLUD don't want to end up as corp slaves, but if they are interested, placements opportunities are definitely available if one works for them.

On a similar note, this is like how Noojies keep saying that even NLS placements are too less but that's also because their batch size is less and lesser people from there are opting for corporate firms nowadays. Point being, NUJS is not the best, not anywhere close to it.

His name is R.S Gill. Here is link to a documentary about him: https://youtu.be/4iQfjJytpnU peep the Rolls Royce and then decide if he comes from a humble background or not.

Did you win any of those competitions? Just compare the number of moot wins of NUJS students with yours, simple. You will find that you are not ahead in any count. As for quoting that stats, everyone knows how NLUD placement committee claims that the people who didn't get day zero jobs never sat for day zero. Nor do you even publish your full placement records regularly, besides claiming false placement data every year in official records. There's no trying, there is not a single parameter in which NLUD students are ahead of NUJS students at this stage and no amount of rhetoric from your side is going to prove otherwise. 4 TCs every year? Please name 20 people in the last 5 years from NLUD who have got TCs then.

Publications are the only objective metric that outsiders can test a faculty for. As for your other claims, it goes to show that you have zero idea about NUJS faculty. There are people teaching here from UP, Bihar, Kerala, Karnataka, Odisha and TamilNadu at present, besides Bengal. And in between them, there are plenty of degrees from other universities including foreign ones. To claim that NLUD faculty are better because very few of them are from Delhi is the sort of absurd logic that NLUD trolls are infamous for. Why don't you produce a single piece of objective and verifiable parameter and use it to show how your faculty are doing better? You all kept claiming based on NIRF research and publication score how your faculty were doing amazing research. Now that the score has dropped, you're saying that publications don't really count.

If you cannot afford Jindal, then whether NLUO is a better option than it becomes a moot point. If you are getting through to NLUO, then I would recommend that you join there, work hard and smart, take advantage of the decent peer group, good moot culture, and hustle to score good internships with a focus on PPOs if you're interested in a corporate job, or other options if you want an alternative career. You will get most of those options if you're willing to learn from the seniors there. The place has got its problems like every other institution, but you won't be missing out on opportunities if you're ready and willing to grab those.

What the fuck is this slavery!? Holy shit bro fuck it, I'm in my second year at a t1 and i make a vow to myself to NEVER try and enter/intern in a law firm. Jesus Christ this thread is horrendous. I'd rather earn 10k/month as a Zomato delievery guy and live with my self respect than endure whatever the fuck is happening in these firms.

Cool in nalsar nls nlud from what i know. some in nlud might hate you secretly but no outright discrimination as there are well established mechanisms to counter this. Apparently a "Reject tradition, embrace modernity" poster in nlud was vandalised with a ball pen and someone wrote "Why though?" On it lol. But that's it.

What is up with the proof of residence in NCR requirement for enrolment with the Delhi Bar Council? Are they still asking for it or has it been done away with it? If it's still being insisted upon, how do non-Delhi people looking to start litigating in Delhi get themselves enrolled here?

If you know any other hacks to ease/simplify the enrolment process, please let me know.

You can't defend them in this regard. Only trollish comments can act as burnol if it's burning there, which I understand (I'm not from MNLU Nagpur) .

Oh please, stop selling NUJS like it’s ever going to be the next big thing in legal education. Even if the students are good, you have an admin that will undermine them and keep the college mediocre.

And don’t talk about stats, I see plenty of comments in this thread alone about why NLUD is a better choice. I think you should ask yourself 2 questions - if you were an aspirant today, would you honestly choose NUJS over NLUD? A place with a larger batch size, local domicile, less metropolitan location and shitty infrastructure. Would you really opt for that over NLUD just for slightly better placement numbers? Atleast don’t mislead the kid into a decision he’ll later regret. There are people from NUJS who drop a year for NLUD. No one at NLUD does that for NUJS.

And two, if NUJS were set up in 2008 and NLUD was older, would there even be a contest? NLUD would be miles ahead. This should put into perspective how meteoric NLUD’s rise has been despite being a decade younger and how NUJS has hardly improved since its early days.

And as far as NIRF goes, one doesn’t need to believe that to see NLUD as number 2. Most folks acknowledge it as 2 or 3 anyway and definitely prefer it over NUJS. But don’t hide the fact that we’ve beaten you there for first 3-4 years where there were no “fake data” issues.

Llm in Canada is easy, compared to top us or uk schools.

Canadian law schools will take anyone who has more than 60% marks and can spin a good story in the admission essay.

Scholarship is a bit tougher, the schools are in it for the money, international students pay quite a bit more than Canadians. Just say that you want to use the experience gleaned to come and teach in India. Also, try to highlight any major achievements that you have in your career which can be linked to academic excellence. Or a cocurricular which can linked with your ultimate career goal - teaching.

If you can finish in the top quarter of the nluo batch at the end of your degree then you are likely to get a placement. For JGLS it's more like top 10%

Extracurricular activities are easily available at Jindal not so much at nluo, although there are decent sports facilities available.

However, all these comparisons are moot if you cannot afford Jindal and have nluo as the only option.

Here's some useful background: https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/166008-retainer-fee-vs-employment

My pet was on his last legs, had to put him down. I wanted to visit my dog to see him for one last time and put him down. Asked my partner for 2 days leave, my partner looked me in the eye, heard my request and said “no, my transaction is more important.”

My dog passed away 2 days later while I was working. Never got a chance to say bye for one last time. Won’t forget and won’t forgive.

Not only think tanks. NLU students are also being recruited as social media volunteers for political parties. My batchmate has signed up for a national party. He told me that the work will be unpaid but college volunteers can order burgers and pizzas for free from certain fast food outlets. Also, once a week there will be a free lunch at a good restaurant. We are less than 10 months away from the elections, so you will see such activity quite soon. Some NLU hostel rooms will literally double up as IT cell war rooms of various political parties.

Actually, Sudhir left even before. So did Pritam and Chinmayi, almost immediately with MPS. They never meant to stay at NUJS for long anyway. Prabhash, Shamnad and Daniel left later. Saurabh stayed for long after. MPS did not do everything perfectly, he did not build anything that would sustain without his own presence, and he made everyone permanent, including a bunch of completely useless people, the brunt of which the university has been bearing since.

Non-NLU grads are not a homogeneous group. Graduates from Symbiosis, Christ, ILS Pune, KIIT, Jindal do get recruited by even tier one firms that I know of. I have even known some graduates from Amity (Noida), Nirma and NMIMS to be working in such firms, although many of them probably make it on their own resources including but not limited to contacts, rather than because of their university reputation or during Day Zero. At the same time, there are hundreds of law colleges in India where the states of education and recruitment are both very shabby indeed.

Hi so I got a callback internship at a tier 1 firm, however the team I interned with before left the firm. Should I intern in a similar practice area in a different team or intern in a practice area where I have a partner who is a family reference but this practice area is entirely different and it will be my first internship in it. I am asking from the perspective of a PPO?

I am thinking of applying for a LLM in Canada (among others) since they have good universities and their immigration laws seem to be comparatively less stringent. How easy/difficult is it to get an admission in good LLM program in Canada. I have heard that University of British Columbia, Toronto, Osgoode Law School are really good. I am a tier-1 NLU graduate, mid-ranker, no significant publications, Judicial Clerk at an HC. Wanted to know my chances of admission and securing a scholarship. Thanks.

Untrue, in a pool of about only 60+ active business law students in RGNUL, about 25+ have gotten placed with big leagues (I'm talking 4 with SAM, 4 with Trilegal, AZB, Dentons Link Legal, S&A, LKS, EY, Indus) and multiple others with smaller law firms. RGNUL has shitty placements but PPOs have been kind.

Hey All,

I'm just finished my 4th year, and I'm actively looking for part-time Internship opportunities, specifically in the Labour & Employment Law Sector. Any leads on firms who provide part-time internships and where I can learn the most about the practice would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Dear OP,

I wont cajole you with fake assurance. Yes we are late because in India majority of the population have kids by your age. I am young litigating lawyer planning to move to better cities. With rising inflation, it is not very possible. Plus, chambers dont pay much. Maybe we can get to know each other and become friends.

If you want to talk pls mention your email in response.

This is extremely poor showing from NALSAR. To have such a massive exodus of their few quality faculty in less than a year is not good news for the future of this place. If they can't retain their own alumni pass-outs who voluntarily came back to teach in Indian academia and have historical affection for the institution's progress, how on earth do they expect to attract other quality faculty?

Does SKDR really have any plans to improve the institution in the future or are they content with just claiming they were once second-best to NLS before NLUD displaced them there?

And looking at the NALSAR faculty page on the website, it hasn't even been updated in a long while it seems. If it weren't for the fact that their nearest rival NLUs like NUJS, NLUJ and GNLU weren't also full of administrative issues and equally unenterprising, there is definitely scope for more proactive law schools overtaking NALSAR.

I wonder if these parties pay in cash, given the scale of black money in politics? If yes, then it's an excellent career option as you can under-declare your income (no need to feel guilty as many senior lawyers do the same). Plus, if you rise up the ranks and become even a municipal councillor or a minister's PA, you can become a crorepati overnight. In fact, a person called CK Jaffar Sharif, who used to be Indira Gandhi's driver and used to serve tea and samosas at the Congress HQ, eventually became railway minister of India because of his loyalty to Indira. No joke: see the article below.

So this is an excellent career option.

Hello. I'm a law student (first gen) studying in a Tier 2 NLU. I want to intern at a corporate law firm in Bengaluru, preferably in the Competition/Antitrust team or Gen Corp. I have a decent CV with multiple publications, editorial positions and mooting achievements. I have applied to many law firms well in advance but have gotten rejected so far. I'm very upset and worried about the fact that I don't really have any connections in the legal field. Please suggest what I need to do. Also, I'd be really glad if someone could name a few corp law firms which offer internships/PPOs to students who don't have any Godfathers in the field.

I know one person who worked for Prashant Kishore's organisation. The pay was very good, but the work was just posting on social media in favour of the TMC. No research work. As far as the Congress is concerned, you're likely to get serious research work on socio-economic issues, but as the article says you need to be of the same ideology: socialist and a Nehru family loyalist. As for the BJP, the very name "Nation for NAMO" says it all: just PR work glorifying Modi.

Most people join these think tanks for a reco to study abroad. For a long-term career option it's better to join Vidhi, CPR, ORF etc.

Raipur is a much better city than Patiala. It has more malls, 5 star hotels, cafes than Patiala. It even has an International Airport with good connectivity to almost all the major cities of the country. You could also watch matches at the cricket stadium of you are into cricket. Patiala as a city has got nothing to offer. It has got one mall and that too isn't great either. Treat it as another glorified town.. all thanks to the pop Punjabi songs.

I would rather stan Radhika at this point. Radhika has kept away from controversies and has shown a lot of dignity.

Absolutely. Salman killed innocent animals. Then got drunk and ran over a homeless man. Planted and bribed witnesses. Was also accused by ex-gfs Some Ali (directly) and Aishwarya (indirectly) of domestic violence. Has a long history of misogynistic behaviour. Desi version of Andrew Tate. A toxic, steroid-fuelled, patriarchal goon. See below. BTS >>>>> Salman.

Sorry to inform you- these do not happen through recruitment committees.

Over time, students of these colleges have secured these schemes on their own accord- YES there is absolutely no relation to the college, admin, recruitment committee etc.
Students apply on their own through the open application procedure.
