You need a reality check if you geniunly believe NMIMS placements are as good as GLC. I second the attending classes part, but thats really upto the individual. Anyways, that should not be the sole creteria for assessing a college.

GLC's fee is approx. 12k per year. If you factor in the living cost, it is a much better ROI compared to NMIMS along with a mile head placement committee and freedom to intern.

Real estate is booming, and will always be booming. M&A has very few deals happening every year and your experience is dependent on whether your Partner can pull in the clients and get his team on the deals. Expect better work life balance in real estate, long term and short term. The pay for both would be the same in a T-1 firm. I have seen real estate partners/senior partners and M&A partners/senior partners.

Most of the times the toppers do not know what they want. Mugging up crap in law school might be easier for people like them but in the real world none of that shit matters. For some weird reason those people cannot fathom that due to which they gradually venture out into public policy or get a fancy LLM - still not knowing what to make out of their lives. These grades do not really matter, enjoy your time at law school while it lasts. Worst come worse - start out at a tier 2, slog, make it to tier 1 and enjoy the process without rushing it. Do not compare yourself to anyone; do it for the nights you only had yourself sitting with a cup of spirits and a mind full of dreams.

I am 23,history graduate(2020) from Loreto College,Calcutta with a 58% in honours & 60%marks overall in graduation.Had I known about the lenience of other universities in awarding marks, wouldn't have taken admission in the said college.I prepared for WBCS Exe for 2 years but the result are not published because of the deplorable condition of the state.Currently, I am preparing for banking exam, & thinking of law as a career(3 year llb degree).If I make it in 2024 NLSIU, I would be 27/ 28 by the time I graduate.Will it be a wise option for decent placements?Some genuine insights required.

you need to keep your hands and mouth busy. It genuinely works. Also, do an activity where you can measure your lung health with every passing day - Football, running, swimming etc. This will tell you how healthy you’re becoming once the withdrawal phase passes. Trust me, slowly easing out of it, and then replacing the cigarette with some peanuts or chips, really works. Plus, once you’re addicted to sports, you wouldn’t want a cigarette

Comments are basically what the other law firm send in as their observations. Basis which we incorporate the changes or provide clarifications.
Lender tracking is again a tracker for the lenders of the issuing company and the agreements with them. For example, if you require any NOC from lenders, etc.

This is just sickening. But what makes me angry is that YouTube, Telegram, TikTok etc enabled it. High time these tech companies are held accountable.

It provides you with excellent exit opportunities. You can end up in better firms from here. Kuch din bitao, fir kat lo. Ache firms milenge yaha se. A PA from his team become Director at CAM.

An SA and A1 got into Trilegal.

And this will continue, it’s really good launhpad.

Fantasy??? Dude, literally every associate is hitting on interns and many are ▮▮▮ ‘em. You don’t need to read past LI threads: just ask at any law school. In today’s neoliberal world sex is a currency in the same way as notes or bitcoins. You purchase a good word/interview opportunity from a recruiting partner in exchange for sex with the associate. That’s the way of the world.

No "Partner" - I think every kid from every god damn college (be it the top NLUs or top private colleges like SLSP/JGLS) is running behind General Corporate/M&A teams for god knows why, barring the money it brings; which again is very team/firm/location specific and boils down to the whims and fancies of the client at hand.

Oh man, my bad and my sincere apologies. Again to that question - ofcourse, it is very possible considering the fact that you will not have lost touch with pulling out cases (due to the hang of the "litigation searches" and allied sections of the offer doc); I think it should be possible because of how overworked law firms in general are as far as disputes teams are concerned. Now, venturing into such a direction is a personal choice but capital markets lawyers always try to switch to M&A, which in most instances, is never possible thereof. Given how saturated the market is today, B&F is the way to go I guess. Avoid M&A, Tax, Anti-trust and TMT for heavens sake (and this hellhole too).

People will not shy from hyperbole and point to metrics that matter to them, as if it is the law school that actually makes you. I was in the same boat as you 8 years ago, and chose RGNUL. Don't regret it at all. Made some great friends, mooted quite a bit, explored adr comps, interned, and got a tier 1 ppo (which i will leave soon so that my brain doesn't turn to mush)

I have no doubts that HNLU is a great place. My reasons for choosing RGNUL were personal and not based on the metrics that other people pushed down my throat even then, just as they're doing now. I decided based on HNLU's remoteness, its stifling administration, its significant reservation, RGNUL's infrastructure (which is much better than almost every other nlu, including HNLU's which I have visited), and RGNUL's proximity to Delhi and the hills of Himachal and Uttarakhand (which I explored fully).

No matter what you choose, you won't go wrong as long as you keep doing things without being stagnant. All the best.

It's good to see T1 firms giving offers to HNLU again, and even after considering the fact that hirings for the batch of 2023 were much stronger across the industry, there clearly seems to be a lot of efforts put in by their recruitment committee, and that should definitely be lauded.

Now that HNLU's revival actually looks possible, it may be worthwhile to remember that HNLU was never supposed to have a track record similar to the newer/"lower" NLUs. It was actually established around the same time as GNLU! And GNLU has run off with the other top NLUs to a massively better track record of placements, faculty, and reputation. Similarly, it was established just 5 years after Nalsar, and actually 5 years BEFORE NLUD, too!

Again, don't get me wrong - getting 40 something offers is a good revival for a college that has had an abysmal record off late, but I hope that people recognise that with a batch size of almost 170, this is just not where it should be.

been to both, must say that NUJS is in no way chill, in fact NUJS is a very very serious college and can be very toxic, but in terms of seriousness and student quality (academic wise, not anything else) NUJS still is better than NLUD, all that is better in NLUD is the infrastructure and big space, only thing lacking in nujs is the space, only 4 acres. Otherwise it could even beat NALSAR

I'm aware of people who got SC as well as HC judicial internships without any connection, you just need to pester the PS or the LRs long enough. Try at a few places. In HC obviously it's a bit easier since you can get easy entry. I've even heard of people trying to go to the judges' residencies to drop off their application. While having a connection might help, you can get a judicial internship directly as well. I'd also suggest asking someone who has already interned there for a reference or the contact of the PS.

Because it's a niche area and easy to get in. Most firms dont hire freshers in disputes and even if they do, there are very less vacancies. The attrition rate in Cap marks is so high that there are always vacancies and cap marks teams hire on a rolling basis. And i understand it is not necessary to start with T1 from start but because of financial restraints, have to.

Babban sorry to say but your idea is not outdated or new. It’s pure false. Here’s what some IIM alumni said about foreign mba especially from Harvard compared to top IIMs on a reliable website (I can send you the link if you want Babban dada) - “ However, if you look at the ROI (Return on Investment), you will understand why candidates wish to pursue an MBA program from Harvard. Harvard's MBA program puts a great deal of emphasis on research and academics, as well as corporate placement. MBA students from Harvard can expect to get a placement package of US$ 1.25 lakhs per annum (roughly Rs. 75 lakhs) on average rather than top IIM students who get a package of around Rs. 17-20 lakhs annually.” - admire your perseverance Babban bhai but remember that even the competitive exams are not that different. Raghuram Rajan , when he got a chance to teach at booth flies readily to Chicago and teaching there only. Indian MBA is not lucrative compared to Harvard. The truth is out everywhere Babban bhai.

The common perception to a fresher in this practice area is that clocking 3 years at an Indian law firm (usually the tier 1s since capital markets work is concentrated to the big law firms barring quality mid sized boutiques like S&R, TT&A, SNG, Rajani, CrawfordB. & Kanga) will open doors to the capital markets teams of quality law firms based out of Singapore, Hong Kong, USA and UK without having to do an LLM. What they don't understand is that although these foreign law firms do not require you to do an LLM to get an opening, they underpay you when compared to their existing retainers - expecting you to do the same kind of work with the same nature of deadlines and pressures involved.

Now, although this practice area is monotonous, laborious, clerical and mundane - the client facing exposure is immense and having blue chip investment bankers as your go-to client/buddy helps a lot when getting referrals/ entry into conferences, 5 stars and what not.

Further, rising the ranks is comparitively easier since this practice is not so crowded because of a myriad of reasons:

1) Having juniors going abroad for LLMs and lateral hirings.

2) Having juniors switching teams because of inability to cope with this practice area (yes burnouts are very very very common in this space).

3) Having principals and partners joining the IB teams as compliance/ legal heads - that are the law firm's go-to clients (this is quite rare but observed in some instances).

While the money is kind of lesser at the partner levels as compared to tier 1 M&A and International Arbitration teams, please rethink your choice before jazzing with ECM & DCM offer documents - 18 hours a day, your entire life.

Tread with caution and care, see you'll soon. Cheers!

Bsc in Finance is not a good course at all. I met this ‘know-it-all guy’ who used to boast about this course as if this can surpass SRCC. Turns out this course is even worse than state colleges providing economics. Pathetic. The guy ofc didn’t get any job after the entire duration of his ug. He has to sit for cat twice and he couldn’t crack it. The same goes for any other MBA exam. He is sitting for the third time now and I don’t think he will be acing it anyway. So he himself has a backup for local masters college in Netherlands. And he seems pretty frustrated with it. Don’t join this course. It can destroy you in many ways possible and this instance is one.

It's a Bloomberg story being copied by The Telegraph. Anyway, there is no illegality. Paridhi was under no obligation to declare her partnership in Adani Infracon, as the article says that it was an entire set up in their personal capacity to buy artworks, that's it. Modi haters are getting desperate day by day.

Hi, I just completed my 1st year at NLS in the 3-Year LLB course. Based on my experience, I can tell you that the academic culture is fantastic and we get to learn from the best at NLS because of a single section. However, if Corp job is what u r looking for, then it will be a bit difficult. From out batch, only 1 person got an internship in a T1 but that was through contacts. Our RCC failed to provide internships to any person in T1. A few people got internships in T2-T3 but on the other hand, a majority of the people from the 5-Year course has got internships in good places.

Hopefully, the RCC will be able to get us internships in the next break

Agreed!! Worked with the real estate team as an intern, the work culture is horrible and most of the people on the real estate team are toxic. Working with them is like sending an invitation to bad mental health. The associate I was working under and his team are beyond horrible they treat interns like trash!!

Given that opinions are being thrown around without any evidence to back it up here are my honest facts:

1) I hear martians landed in NLUD yesterday and offered 5 recruitment opportunities, but because it cannot be put into NIRF the university declined the offer

2) Jo Biden is visiting NLUD when he gives retrun visits to India, however, the university declined as it would mean disruption in the academic schedule

3) NLUD has invited Newton and Einstein and Dr. House to come and be visiting professors. Newton accepted but Einstein declined but his name has been put on the NIRF list.

How I miss Onion!!

I can't comment on the difference in work culture between the two places but one advantage that NLS has over Nalsar is its location. I don't think anyone who is making a decent amount of money would want to stay in a jungle far away from the city. Other than this, Bangalore is a lively city and it's easier to attend events etc that keep on happening in the city. I guess this is one of the factors behind the younger faculties of Nalsar leaving. However, I am not saying that this is the only reason why people leave for NLS so please don't bring in the examples of Arun, Aparna and Saurav.

Gujarat? Maharashtra? Karnataka?

Stop displaying your bias. In terms of corporate placement, NLSIU has lost the number one spot ages back. NALSAR and NUJS have been having better placements for the last decade almost, with NUJS occasionally slightly ahead. That doesn't mean NLSIU isn't better in many other ways though, but not in corporate placement any more.

Woah so you think sls pune is below nliu? How clueless are you? No fr.SLS deserves this rank. Stop preaching this nonsense symbi theory when the placement turnout is ultimately mediocre at best. And people from your college retake clat and leave for tier-1. Now majority don’t get in that’s a different thinh

Here’s the catch. Your batch’s top 20-25 students are tremendously hardworking. Scarp that. Even the top 30 students. Then why the tier-1 placement culture in these colleges is so low? And you really have to form a strong network through gruesome hardworking and then maybe tier-2 firms are possible

Sorry but NLUD does have better faculty. NUJS may have a few of their alumni teaching there but almost all of them are NUJS LLMs as well with hardly any cross-institutional exposure.

Student performance is a wide range of activities to deal with. Be specific. Having followed achievements of both places for a few years now, there’s nothing that NLUD students haven’t matched up to against the older NLUs, whether it’s moots, publications or final graduate outcomes.

Academically, NLUD is more rigorous and that’s primarily what an aspiring law student aims for. If one wants to merely party and have a chill life, might as well go for places like SLS or JGLS.

As far as placements go, NUJS is merely ahead in absolute numbers since it has a larger batch size and has an older legacy. I don’t think it will keep sustaining the same way with increased intake for some new BSc LLB.

And we do have quite a budding litigation scene where many people voluntarily opt for it despite high batch ranks and other opportunities.

As far as OP is concerned, NLUD would be the right choice. As a comment mentioned, NLUD still doesn’t have a domicile quote either.
