I am from Karnataka studying law in tier 3 Non-NLU college, I come from a farmers family.
Coming to the point, I have secured internship under a Judge of Supreme Court for May month, I know none in Delhi, So could anyone suggest affordable PG or Hostel in Delhi for a month.
I am a first-year law student at a Tier-1 NLU (completing my second semester in April 2026) and am currently seeking internship opportunities for the May–June 2026 cycle.
I want to explore commercial litigation, especially insolvency and NCLT practice, and would prefer to intern in Mumbai. During the previous internship cycle (November–December 2025), I completed two district court internships I saw civil and criminal litigation.
I now wish to see commercial disputes as a practice, especially in forums such as the NCLT. However, I am not sure what would be good places to apply to, given the fact that I would have only just finished my first year at the time of internship. I really want to be able to work and observe closely, and am thus looking for places that would allow for such an opportunity while still being in the 1st year.
Thank you in advance.
Of course, I guess knowledge of Telugu is a must, and they will also be heavy reservation for SC/ST/OBC candidates.

There should be scope of growth, quality work, flexibility to take up independent matters, and good pay. And most importantly a good boss!
Looking for genuine suggestions.

The HR of every firm will consider your application on merits. It is their job and is based on the SOPs that we have in place.
"We would like to have a deeper probe. We need to find out who is responsible… heads must roll! We won't close the case," Chief Justice Surya Kant said as he grilled Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the National Council of Educational Research and Training.
Moments earlier Mehta had said those responsible for referring to 'corruption in the judiciary' – as part of the chapter – 'The Role of the Judiciary in Our Society' – would play no further role in writing and producing the textbook. "We stand by the institution. no one will get away scot-free."

Also, re: your rank, just show improvement. Read up before the class. Have an idea of what's going to be talked about and everything in the class becomes easy. If you can, make notes. If you can't, beg and borrow from seniors. That coupled with a genuine demonstration of interest and people willing to vouch for your dedication will almost definitely get you a job offer.
All the best!

In an era where career trajectories appear increasingly corporate-oriented, constitutional law risks being reduced to a classroom requirement rather than a lived academic and intellectual pursuit. Are students engaging with constitutional theory outside the syllabus through research, writing, litigation, public law forums, or critical debate? Or has constitutionalism become more symbolic than substantive within law school culture?
The question is not merely about curricular presence, but about intellectual commitment. If law schools are to remain spaces that nurture public reasoning and constitutional imagination, engagement must extend beyond examinations and into scholarship, institutional conversations, and interventions in contemporary debates.
Is that still happening, or are we witnessing a quiet retreat from constitutional discourse within our campuses?
With promotion could be anywhere between 20-40%.
Also he started his own office, not joined another firm as he had limited billing to show.
With trilegal opening office in Chennai, what are the chances of them opening one more office in Pune?

With no relevant experience and a horrible rank, what is the best way to secure such an internship (and eventually a job)? Most of my achievements are in competitions nobody really cares about and all my internships have been disputes/litigation oriented.
I'm just starting my career as an Assistant Professor. I've qualified UGC NET. A university is offering me Assistant Professor job (below ugc levels). I seek to enroll in PhD soon, however due to financial reasons I need to join the job first. What is the norm around notice period in case I get enrolled in PhD?
West Bengal is the best in terms of public office employment and PCS exmas, the fastest in entire nation!
Trust me, I am going through the same thing.

Interesting to contrast this with the BJP and TMC. So many young law grads (with better qualifications) have been tweeting in favour of there Congress and BJP for years, but they haven't even got an MLA ticket, leave along a Rajya Sabha seat.
I have been applying continuously ar KCO Delhi IP Team despite having a year experience of IP from a pretty decent firm I haven't received any response.
Anyone from kco reading this, his me help me. I really want to work and learn. It's been months.
Sine note: The pay for assessment interns is 10k p/m and for freshers it is 45K. A trainee told me the figures so cannot verify it firsthand

I require more creative ideas that are equally tormenting such as this.
I am not kidding. It's super simple, don't worry. I am pretty sure you will get into a T14 law school in states with scholarship. and if you go there, enjoy it. Once in a lifetime opportunity.
PS. I got into a T14 law school for LLM with 52% in Law from a tier 3 non NLU college
In fact, if you think about it, the SC’s order asking judges to oversee SIR may take longer, because judges may be more careful in going through documents and not randomly allow everyone.
Absolutely all bets are off if President’s rule is imposed in the state. Interesting times for NUJS…

at least in M&A you can do some good deals; the same goes with capital markets.
lit side of ibc is just too streamlined same vohi applications SRA fighting to get the resolution plan approved blah blah blah.
soon you will realise that you will left with nothing and will be later on look for another avenue or switch as it will just waste time and you will remain in the same position as you were in starting, ultimately its your call
even if you become IP, it's not gonna add that much value trust me you will be just another kathpiutli of creditors.
If it’s the same day travel then you may not get an accommodation and you’re expected to work in court, followed by working at the airport.
In that case, I would advise attempting the state civil service exam as well, plus applying for private sector jobs in banks.
Based on this year’s rounds, Jindal delivered a marked improvement: logistics were smoother (accommodation, timings, venues), and, more importantly, the judging quality appeared significantly more consistent and credible.
For a competition like Jessup—where national qualifiers are the critical gateway to the international rounds—administration and judging integrity matter as much as logistical efficiency. Teams prepare for months, often 3–5, under demanding conditions. Poor organisation at the national stage is not a minor problem; it diminishes the value of that preparation and the legitimacy of the process.
Would love to hear perspectives from others who participated, judged, or coached this year: how did you find JGLS’s administration and judging compared to previous years?
2. KCO takes interns online, but if your team requires you to work offline, they will let you know. My team wanted me to work offline, they asked me if I can come to office.
3. No cons of virtual internship. You can always connect with your associates. You'll get work no matter what. Totally depends on you, how good you are with work.
4. I know someone who got their internship transferred, but only if you know the partner from the other office you want to work in.

Mamata really has a tendency to surprise with her picks!! But this also fits into a pattern of choosing people who are very active on Twitter, like Jawhar Sircar, Saket Gokhale or Sagarika Ghosh.
Sourav was clearly chosen because of his social media activity rather than professional standing. Had it been the latter, she would have chosen someone like Jaideep Gupta or Menaka Guruswamy or even Debanjan Mandal.
This shows the immense influence social media has. No one follows legacy mainstream
media anymore, certainly not people below 35. So Mamata is smart to sense the trend.
Since college, I had my doubts about my ADHD, but as soon as I started working, I had to get it diagnosed, and I have been on medication (stimulant and non-stimulant). My work significantly improved, I feel like the fog has cleared up, and whatnot. Although after getting diagnosed, I asked my doc if i should disclose this at my workplace, he asked me not to because, from his experience, his patients faced some or the other kind of discrimination after disclosure of their diagnosis. On a lighter note, he asked me to disclose it if I start working for a US or EU-based firm.
But apart from this, do let me know if I can help you in any way with managing symptoms and work.
