A good rank in one exam does not define how your career will turn out to be. The people who are driven, make it big in life, be it through NLU or SLS. People getting into T1 NLUs only have to clear a written exam. The Symbiosis screening process is very strict and I personally know friends in GNLU, RGNUL and NLiU who didnt even get a seat at SLS. If we have a batch of 300, its a batch of 300 very smart kids. And then to be in the top 30% of the batch adds another advantage. Conclusively, top 30% at SLS is as good as T1 NLU kids.

I know a lot of NLUites will say otherwise, but this is it. NLUs and JGLS are based on written format only. SLS only accepts students once they also clear the PI-WAT stage. So the quality of the students is very good and diverse. They are not a bunch of nerds but street-smart as well. JGLS is the easiest college to crack but its placed above SLS as if offers good opportunities and exchange programs.

I had 0 contacts and I wanted to make it big. I now regret spending so much time over thinking and talking about how others were more privileged. At the end of the wasted time, I had to accept my reality and work with my circumstances and thats when things started work and I gained confidence with every productive thing I did. Things turned out well since I got a T1 PPO last year.

Try offering long term engagements in virtual mode. Obviously, the firm will give preference to an offline candidate. Maybe do a 1 month offline internship and seek a virtual extension once you make an impression. The firm names would depend on the practice area you are interested in. Do some market research and get ahead of your peers.

I just finished my penultimate year and have exactly 7 months during which i can intern. I'm from a non NLU college which provides 0 placement assistance.

Which firms should I target to get a PPO in Disputes practice area? I currently have an assessment internship lined up with a T1 firm, so I'm left with 6 months. Now, most T1's have a one month call back internship policy so I have to devote atleast 2 months to 1 firm.

Please suggest me 3 firms which are currently hiring in disputes vertical and are willing to offer PPO's to non NLU students.

I took drop for CLAT 23, i fucked up and now i am out of options. didnt get into ILS, GLC. I have SLS as option but the fees is too much, I take education loan work your ass off and make it worth, i have no problem with that I'll do it. I would work my ass off and get decent placement. But the things is it all seems simple on theory, what if I feel out of place in SLSP what if they all judge me for not having money, i would have 0 connection, student loans. I am also thinking of giving CLAT 24 alongside college, idk if ill crack it i just want to give it. please dont troll im already on verge of mental breakdown but please help me out.

Be it ABVP or NSUI, we need political student unions at NLUs, because that is the only way corrupt admins will take students seriously. For example, look at Karnataka State Law University: the students slapped Ishwar Bhat and splashed ink on his face. He resigned out of fear. At NUJS, they tolerated his misdeeds for over 10 years.

Go to UK law school if you want to ultimately go to the US - simpler. Can work at a magic circle (or silver circle and then bump up experience), and then do a masters in the US, and try to join their US office directly - Links, A&O, Freshfields have a decent-ish NY office. HSF and CC not so much.

lol because no NLU ever had 240 students graduating in a year.

The graduating batch at NLS in 2023 had around 60 people who wanted jobs (PPO + Day Z) and all of them received offers. Now when the batch will increase to 240, around 180 people will sit for placements + PPO. However, I do agree that not everyone will get jobs but expect 100+ jobs from T1 and T2 with packages above 15LPA @ present rate and another 50 who will probably get somewhere between 10-15LPA. I expect around 20-30 people without job offers.

That said, NLS will eat up jobs from other colleges. That's for sure! The quality of a batch ranked 40 student today will shift to around 100 when 240 people will come in the batch and as such both of them will get hired in good places.

I once advised a CS on very basic queries concerning ICSI's secretarial standards (which is something that he should have been an expert in). I even explained my CA why his way of filing my tax return was wrong and after a lengthy discussion he agreed. So personally, even I would think about quitting if I ended up working with Chaturs like you.

I am a regular middle-class law graduate (2023) who has secured a 12 LPA job. No generational wealth or other sources of income. Realistically speaking, will I ever be able to buy a 5cr+ house if I continue on this law firm trajectory? I am willing to put in the effort, but unsure if it is in the right direction. Do I generate other sources of income, or what other things should I do?

The goal isn't to actually buy a house. It's to assess my future financial capability.

Every CS is employable but every lawyer is not.

A company secretary can understand everything a lawyer does but a lawyer cannot ! In fact, a company secretary does more good to the business than a lawyer who fails to understand the section's impact on the business and its operations.

No, if there was no corruption, it would mean more legitimacy to law, and therefore enriching the profession.

Laws like Labor laws, mining laws are not practiced a lot, because clients prefer the hands down under route. If there wasnt corruption, Clients would approach lawyers to actually follow the law.

NLU elections are already political, in the sense of ideology. In general, left-wing candidates win hands won. I have never heard of a RW candidate winning. However, ironically, the same left candidates and their supporters generally end up working for firms like CAM and advancing the cause of capitalism and the BJP.

since you've mentioned buddy, it's your 3rd year, you got enough time. Also by now you've had your fair share at exploring how the law works in India and fields in it. If that's the case, I'd suggest start making your niche, since if you develop a niche early it makes you less vulnerable to rejection from a boutique law firm or a firm specializing in the field of your preference.

In order to expand your knowledge in that field, take up online courses, write blogs or just express your opinion in the form of an article on any recent development in that field of law.

Speaking from my own experience (as a law student from T2/T3 law school as well as a CS aspirant), law school in itself is a holistic experience which develops the student holistically in terms of knowledge, networking skills, research, drafting, internships, etc. So once an individual graduates as a lawyer, he/she knows how the things go around in terms of law, in general (this opinion is based on the premise that one attends a full-time law school and not by correspondence).

On the other hand, CS provides you with core in-depth knowledge about how the general corporate and commercial law works without emphasizing much upon the holistic development of the CS student.One key area where a law student will definitely have an edge is research because in the whole syllabus of CS (2017 or 2022) there are no components for research, whereas a law student from day one is taught to work on research and finding better precedence.

One thing that I see is common among NLU D trolls is that they boast their institute while 'degrading' others. People suggesting Nalsar are mostly doing it for merits of Nalsar itself and not by shaming NLU D. But you NLU D trolls use such harsh language for an institute that is clearly heads, shoulders and leagues over you guys and it is just funny.

There are so many things to do in College, why pigeonhole yourself with constant studying. The minimum GPA required to maintain the scholarship was 6.0 out of 8.0. You could easily get this, in real terms, it was getting 65 marks out of 80. Studying a day before all internals and presentations and a day before the final exam was enough to get a 6.8 GPA for me.

I only wanted to maintain my scholarship so that my family doesn't face financial burden. I didn't want to be like some of my classmates who used to fill 10 pages worth of notes for each 2.5 hours lecture (All JGLS lectures are 2.5 hours) or sit in the library or reading room after hours of classes doing readings and preparing for the next lecture. This was too tedious, I can work when I am getting paid and learn too, but I wouldn't want to give up on experiences, exploring or enjoying myself for the same. So I was always pulling an all-nighter for all assignments of all subjects and did whatever I wanted throughout the sem, went on sports fests, hung out with friends, joined societies and clubs, participated in events and sports leagues, etc. Notes were readily available always so that wasn't an issue.

I wasn't part of the drug or party culture AT ALL. I just tried to do whatever gave me the most enjoyment rather than constant studying. There are so many things to do at JGU, so many students to interact with, I felt I would be a fool to only immerse myself in studies or daily binge drinking/drug culture.

And this approach didn't hamper me, at the end of the day I am also at a corporate job and many of my peers are at one too. At least I didn't put 10 times the effort to end up at the same place.

But the bonus component for A0s has been stated to be Nil in another thread.

https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/231037-kco-releases-offer-letters-to-freshers-base-salary-of-rs-15-6-lakhs-but-no-mention-of-bonus

The fixed figure appears to be right. Request everyone else joining KCO to confirm bonus.

Bro this platform is managed by one-n-only our superhero Kian. So, to avoid the hassle of publishing in every minute he takes all comments at once (till 12-1 midnight) & published in bulk.

Kian is bhakt of Modi ji so he is smart and knows that all users become inactive at that time coz either they go for sleep or work on pending tasks

NLUD has won Man Lachs (twice), ICC, OxIP, OxPrice. NLS has also won some of these too but NALSAR hasn't won any of these except Price more than a decade back. They've won Vis Vienna, also more than 10 years ago. In recent times, NLUD has been performing better. Not to mention at ADR and debating, NLUD has also performed exceptionally well and mostly better than NALSAR.

It’s the worse they make you read about their value system by sending a pdf. You read it in hope of a internship , then they reject you .

So now you know their value system and they expect you to have Prestine image about them so that whenever their name comes up you can say nice things about them . They want publicity by giving hope .

Why call people for interview make them read the value system , one round with hr then one more round , for 25 days of internship. Which you don’t even get !

It’s unfair , just take the round with hr rather then making people read about your values. It’s a brainwashing game .

Stay away .

Oh good, a troll coming up with new words like 'state foreign college'. However, NUJS has been doing joint teaching programmes with KCL even last year and even now, it is doing collaborative projects with three different foreign universities. Clearly, you are not qualified to know about such things.

A. Nehru was not God. What he said doesn't get converted into automatic gospel. He was an upper caste elite who had very little clue about the ground reality about how so-called lower castes or communities were and still are being treated in this country.

B. You missed out the part of him saying to make quality education available to everyone. That still has not happened in India.

C. What does it matter what the US SC say about affirmative action? This is India, not US, last I checked.

it's not about being in the wrong profession. if you don't look good, you can't model or act and that is how this path was never really available for you. life is unfair bro, deal with it. plus nobody cares if you are smarter than her, at the end of the day she lives in a 190 crore pad and you don't. so don't call her dumb.

You may do a TC. It matters very little when you are in India practising law here. For every person you named, there are a 100 who are similarly placed in their profession without having done a VS or TC. If you like it though, you should go for it. The additional exposure cannot harm any, after all.

Please provide stats of students from these NLUs who have gone on such exchange programmes since the MOUs have been entered into. All these vaunted MOUs are just for show, without doing any value addition to the NLUs. Given that you have zero qualification to dub certain universities D grade, one should not pay any attention to your opinion anyway.

The logic that you have used is sub-par, on the contrary. First of all, CLAT ranks mean zilch once you are in a law school. Everybody in the profession is aware of that. Clearly, you are still a student, therefore unaware of it. Moreover, there is no data to prove that a batch topper from NUALS earns less than a rank 80 from NUJS. You just used a make-believe piece of opinion as support for your argument. Further, the difference between NUJS and NUALS graduates not getting similar opportunities is because of institutional legacy and alumni connect. There is no such difference between NLSIU and NUJS any more, same goes for NALSAR. Which is why a mid-rank NLSIU student does not get any preferential treatment over a higher ranked student at NUJS or NALSAR. The fact that you are so eager to jump into ad-hominem attacks also speaks volumes of the quality of education that you have received, as well as your maturity level.

GLC is one of the most reputable law colleges in Maharashtra. The kind of legacy it enjoys compared to any other college in Maharashtra including PGCL is unmatched.

One of the Best Advantages of GLC is the number of opportunities/ offers you get from all the Tier 1/2/3 firms for internships and jobs. Most of these firms prefer an intern who is going to work full time and stay for atleast 6 months to a year for him to deliver quality work to the firm. The lenient attendance scheme comes to your rescue here. When you start interning in your third year (of the 5 year course) at a decent place where you are entrusted with quality work based on your performance, you will yourself notice the output you can produce in half a year without still having a degree. By the time you graduate, you would have done about 3/4 long term internships/ paralegal ships and have experience in different areas which help you make an informed decision on the area of your interest.

The placement cell has done and continues to do a phenomenal job each passing year. candidates are offered positions strictly based on merit. We have about 18/20 students picked up by Tier 1s during the placement week. This number is exclusive of interns who have converted their internships to Associate, or students undergoing an Articleship.

If you're not the kind who likes internships, GLC has one of the best mooting cultures. Students are awarded points based on the moots they have participated in, won etc and then selected for a Moot. The seniors invest time training and helping juniors with their moots.

Wear the best of watches - party at the finest of places - have the hottest & most intelligent wife - keep 2-3 mistresses around to do what you cant with your wife - drive nothing less than a 5 series / E class - do lines with promoters and hence stay indispensable and get a regular work stream and make bank all day every day. That's what I do and I love it. But I is not a corp advocate :)

Not that every time it allows credit transfer with all colleges , but as per considerable request , the university does allow credit transfer to foreign exchange programmes. And that can begin well from third year. But at NLS credit transfer starts only from the fifth year. Can someone confirm then whether foreign exchange programmes at NLS are available to fourth year students as well or not?

If your main goal is settling in the US, go to Manchester, work really hard and be at the top of your class. Get a US/Magic Circle law firm job in London, spend 2 years as a trainee and 2/3 years as an associate and then apply for a US MBA program. Don’t go to Aberdeen/Sussex, that will just be a waste of money. If you can get into Bristol/Exeter/Durham/QM, your chances of getting a law firm job will increase but Manchester is a good uni as well.

I was searching online and I came across various (short-term) job openings in many UN agencies both in India and abroad. I have applied for a couple but haven't heard from them in a long time. Back in college also I had applied for multiple internships in these organisations but never heard of them. Have any of you gotten through the process or know anyone who has, or is this a huge scam??

Legally India this is not fair. And without any filmy tone, I feel it's really bad of you to censor ground reality, while a loyal employee of Vaish has been posting all the cream and gleam of the firm which you're allowing.

If the stories of associates sound exaggerated to you, then so are the praises.

Please don't do this. For god's sake the kid's career/life is at stake.

I just graduated. I probably can’t even call it a tier 3 school. It’s worse. Didn’t get a day zero. It’s not the end of the world, and choosing a law school shouldn’t be this hard if you couldn’t crack the top NLUs. Sure it takes like, double the effort a regular NLU student would put into achieving this (it’s not even an achievement, it’s the beginning of the end). But it can happen. As far as I can recall not a single person has given a shit about the quantity of moot courts, internships and publications I’ve done/had.

What exactly is the hiring criteria? Why are students being led to believe that stressing themselves out over co-curriculars is the way to a PPO?
