It's rare to have a power couple speaking candidly about their journey at the Supreme Court along with the obstacles and difficulties of being first gen lawyers in a new city. Its a little long but Shrutanjaya's questions really vocalize what many students and young lawyers must be asking.

One uncle knocked and said “bachelors are not allowed here, call the owner you’ve rented this flat from.” I told him I am the owner and that's your no goddamn business. I shut the door. That burst his ego there. 😂

I got a decent rank to get into both the colleges. Earlier I was inclined towards NLUJ (legacy, peer quality etc)

but after interacting with seniors from both the colleges, GNLU is as good if not a better bet.

the academic environment is very relaxed, corp outcomes are good, city life's better a lot of freedom to pursue hobbies and other endeavours, 2 month sem break

cons: after comparing profiles of both the colleges, NLUJ seems to be the outlier - top journals, top moots, excellent adr culture and a slight edge in Int'l placements and academia

apart from that, they also get single rooms in NLUJ but that no longer seems to be true since the batch size has increased (this may also impact employment opportunities)

NLUJ academics is too hectic, there are classes even on alternate Saturdays and tests happening every week

On the other hand, I don't think any other law school has academics like GNLU - No mid sems, less class hours, no mid-sems (with some subjects giving ec activities as evaluative endeavours)

Being a partial dropper from MNLU-M, i dreaded sitting in class , and faculty from both NLUJ and GNLU seems to be similar.

I'm currently inclined towards GNLU on the assumption that I will make judicious use of the freedom I get there

But if that's not the case, NLUJ still seems the better bet

Please give a judicious opinion, keeping in mind that I still am not sure what I want from the Law.

Hi mate, I'm a person who actually made a team change possible at A0 level a few years ago, at KCO. Is it risky? Yes. The only reason I had the balls to do it was because I was offered a cushy job in the niche area I actually wanted to work in. With that offer in hand, I went to my partner and had a candid conversation about how I absolutely could not see myself working in that particular area at all. I also had an opportunity to take on some of the stuff relating to my preferred area in my erstwhile profile, and accordingly, I had a minimal connection with the desired partner and team. The partner told me to check with the equity partner and the new partner was not against me for this — but do keep in mind that I had actively built the best billable hours and reviews on my record amongst all the freshers I knew back then, before I made this leap of faith. Essentially, noone should be able to question if this is because you are lazy or can't commit to something. I also had a demonstrated interest and aptitude in the area (both before and after joining the firm) I wanted to jump into, and all those things together made it happen.

My advice? Find a partner who admires your skillset and hard work beforehand, and then reverse engineer your way from there. Go to the HR only as a last resort. And have viable backup options before you say those words aloud, and if it takes you a year to get there, then so be it.

All below 6 feet.

Your question is better the other way round. Apart from Milon Banerjee (more lucky than successful) and Mukul Rohatgi, are there any above 6 feet who are successful? I don't count Vikas Singh and Vikas Pahwa

So students are having brawls because of Congress-BJP ideological rivalry. And meanwhile government and opposition MPs are partying together and dancing at Naveen Jindal’s wedding. 🤡

Guys, don’t bother so much about politics, because the politicians don’t bother about us. Focus on your studies and placements, that’s it. And life is short: don’t make enemies with people just because of differences in ideology. College is a time for fun and friendships. And don’t get into fights for god’s sake! If anyone gets seriously hurt, you could be in jail and your life will be ruined! Is is worth it??

So you are saying that if the VC of a university gets changed, the course curriculum would change? Goes to show your immaturity. Any change would require new curriculum to be approved by the governing councils and would not be retrospectively applied. If BSc students wanted corporate roles, then they should have joined programmes more suitable for that. Nobody is limiting you anyway. Read whatever you want, intern wherever you wish. The existing faculty are not supposed to drop everything else that they are doing just to cater to you.

Graduating in 27. Good law school but very mid grades or worse. Have done t-1 internships in the past, but don't look like they'll work out. Had an internship interview at a t-1 which went terrible- I could barely answer.

I don't even know what's going to happen. Market's bleakness is freaking me out, and I just lose an opportunity in it. I need to study quite lot these coming months but everything still seems so uncertain.

Look at the discrimination in this way. The BSc syllabus is heavily skewed towards forensic and crime-centric subjects. At one point, this emphasis may have seemed defensible given the academic direction then in place (READ NKC Reign). However, now, won't it be worth introducing a stronger corp–science (BSc) interface? You cannot limit us students to a single career pathway, and many BSc students want corporate roles. The relevant faculty cohort (with actual research and experience) already exists on campus, diverted to other courses in the meantime.

T2 firms have no choice but to consolidate to remain scaled up and retain ability to compete with Tier 1s and probably pick merger route to knock the tier 1 status which otherwise may be a distant dream for them. IC Regfin taking over Burgeon, Obhan+Mason new merged firm is just the beginning of such consolidations with way more likely to happen in 2026.

It is because law is not something which you can rote learn only. Alot of it more like 90% of it comes down to practice, the kind of deals youll work on from A0-A2 will shape how you think / which risks you pick up / which structure gives your company enough comfort as an A3 who's shifting laterally to in-house. There is absolutely no way that you can simple "teach" someone how to think like an GC without actually working towards it. The point of law school is to increase your "ability" to learn by giving you basic knowledge of every law there is; neither litigators nor GCs nor corporate lawyers are "made" in a law school

Stick with your current team until your ongoing review cycle is concluded. Hoping that you’ll receive a good review, you can consider the following steps. Once your review is in place, approach HR and clearly communicate that you no longer wish to continue with the current team and are seeking a transfer to another team. Please identify the GC team you want to move to and ensure that they actually have vacancies. Be firm and unambiguous in your communication. Make it clear that your options are limited to either moving to another team within the firm or exploring opportunities outside the firm. The idea for you should be to leverage your positive feedback to demonstrate that, where a vacancy exists, the firm would be better served by absorbing a known, well-reviewed performer rather than taking a risk through lateral recruitment. Firms are generally reluctant to lose someone after having invested a year in training and integration.

You only have one issue - that is thinkinh you are doing law or in college for getting a job in firms. Law firms are useless. People who work there should be ashamed of themselves for chosing such a clerical area of work where they do nothing. Their contribution is nothing. They are clerks. Dont be one. If you want to do something in life, get into litigation. It has both money and respect, and isnnot clerical or a place where self entitled people living in some sort of delulu do clerical work

I’m from the graduating batch of 2026 and have always wanted to have a pet of my own. Unfortunately, my parents never allowed it, though I absolutely loving hanging out with my friends’ dogs. I’ve recently accepted a PPO from a top TMT team in bangalore, and I was wondering whether, as an A0, associates generally get the time and bandwidth to look after a pet, or if that would be too difficult to manage in the initial years of practice. Is it realistically tenable?

Do any of the associates have a pet of their own? Please do share your experiences.

Allegations couldn't be proved = Allegations are not real or hold no weight;
How is it hard to understand? There's a reason why the concept of "degree of proof" exists in evidentiary law and the new BSA.

Also, if you want to speak about perjury or malicious prosecution, look at the ground reality, people are rarely punished or have trial initiated against them for such offences, courts in fact are reluctant to prosecute or hear cases related to such matters.

if you can get into a higher NLU, be it nujs, or gnlu, go for it. the atmosphere, as well as the exposure is top tier. also, coming from a tier 2 NLU myself, (I ranked in the 500s) most tier 2 NLUs are rotting rom the inside, and private UNIs are worse off. lastly, the faculty, placement opportunities and the curriculum is largely same across all disciplines, be it bballb, ballb or bsc llb.

Few points that immediately come to mind, broadly-

For state of Maharashtra, you might also want to go through igrmaharashtra.gov.in.

In relation to incidence of stamp duty on mortgage deeds; hypothecation and pledge agreements; business agreements, computation of applicable stamp duty is pretty straightforward.

For computation of stamp duty on conveyancing, leases and licenses, several factors relating to the subject-matter property(ies) have to be considered at the outset.

Pertinently, it is advisable to get such deeds/instruments adjudicated at office of Collector of Stamps for many reasons which are required to be lodged for registration at concerned sub-Registrar of Assurances.

Hope this helps.

If it's just about collecting degrees, then, shouldn't it be handed over to students without evening doing this convocation thing?

I mean everyone wants their parents to be their with them when they finally graduate AND get their degrees. It's not only the student's big day but also parents.

TLDR:

- Increasing culture wars on campus. Left-wing and right-wing students have got into physical fights because of political disagreements. Sometimes the POLICE have been called. 😳

- Earlier TISS admissions were based on subjective criteria like GD and interviews, plus their own entrance exam. Now there is an objective, centralised exam. Professors say this is benefitting engineering students, who tend to have a RW bias. It’s also benefiting upper caste students. Professors are unhappy about this and want objective tests scrapped.

- Professors are also unhappy because objective tests have reduced regional diversity: mostly Hindi-speaking students are getting admission.

- The RW has spies among students, who are secretly recording LW professors and students smoking pot and supporting LW causes

- Kerala Files was screened by RW students

- Professors may ban mobile phones in class, over fears of being recorded.

NOTE: The report does not mention Jindal, but everyone knows that RW Jindal students are the ones have been secretly recording LW professors and sharing the videos on X and OpIndia. Obviously that’s where the fear comes from.
