The 4 resigned from the EC, not from their jobs. And yes every recruitment at least since the days of PIB have had such deals. The 2017 recruitment was a scam but NKC killed the inquiry. One of the complainants passed away another got recruited elsewhere. So the matter got abandoned.

Your best chance is to first acquire the requisite paperwork which shows the wrongdoing, if any. NKC is good with paperwork and likely that he scored his candidate better on subjective side.

If you do get the paperwork (because NUJS often misplaces inconvenient stuff) then lodge a formal complaints separately with the UGC; the Chancellor (CJI), the Law Dept of WB and its Minister. Send copies to VC and Registrar of NUJS. Use a proper courier so that you get the tracking evidence rt. Also email.

At NUJS, inconvenient things are often not brought before the EC and the EC also tacitly allows the VC to paper over such wrinkles.

Rt now and inquiry has been directed concerning the recruitment of a forensic science faculty member. Papers are being actively removed and shredded.

Good luck.

1. LLM is essential. PhD is desirable. Practically most places expect you to be enrolled in a PhD

2. It is saturated unfortunately. A very high number of students are doing 1 year LLM which makes number of people with essential qualification as very high.

3. Same UGC payscale at sarkari places, for private ones it depends

Keep hearing whispers about VK. But no one from NLU Assam or MNLU-N are willing to share actual evidence of wrongdoing. He was quite a character at NALSAR and his name did come up in an inquiry report (Kian had reported on it). But Tau took care of it and VK never went back to NALSAR. Goodness knows which NLU will get him this time.

NLS not only developed the bench strength to pick VCs from its faculty and alumni pools but also fill up VC positions elsewhere too. NLU Ranchi, NLU Trichy etc. Ofc the recent ones are looking to get a reprieve from SKY.

Interesting that Sarasu who had replaced OVN went to Manipal but did not even apply for NUJS or other NLUs.

SKC, SKB, AG and someone from Forensic Sc resigned from EC following a complaint by KS that NKC had been capricious in making these appointments. But SKB had been appointed earlier. Why complain only now? SKB consistently batted for NKC and that too when KS was in the EC along with SB.

By the time AG, SKC and Forensic fellow were brought into the EC, NKC was already on his way out, technically. Don't understand what happened.

Man. Idk what to say. I have been bashing law firms and now this. Well this is also one of the reasons i say that one does not have a future there. Its a pyramid like structure, onepartner, one or two counsels, then maybe a few Pa/Sas, then the Associates. Of the 170, how many will make partner? Even if they do become partner, most of them will face the same issue as the ones salaried partners face - no bringing in business.

Mods, please publish this comment. I genuinely want to know how someone who wants to work in a firm can even accept this. This is true for most of the big shot law firms.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I would suggest that you focus on buying bare acts and getting a subscription to a good legal database like SCC Online instead of buying commentaries. The libraries of most litigators serve no function other than to give of an aura of being "learned" to clients. Physical copies of bare acts see a lot of use unlike commentaries. If you are good at using legal databases, which I would assume you are since you are in litigation, then most commentaries lose their value. A lot of good books can anyway be digitally pirated.

You mean this?

1. Great move, absolutely should be done.

2. This is not as "huge" as you seem to think it is. Somesh Taori, the guy who left NLSIU BALLB for Oxford BA in Jurisprudence a couple of years ago, said that CLAT preparation was useful for his LNAT preparation. So there are already some encouraging potential signs and similarities that can be built upon.

3. Therefore, the correct adjective (or descriptive phrase) might be "hugely encouraging".

4. My personal suggestions:

(a) Absolutely model the CLAT on the foreign tests mentioned. Perhaps the LNAT more than the LSAT, because the LSAT has been known to have issues in terms of disability unfriendlyness - being potentially disproportionately bad for blind test takers.

(b) Abolish the PG CLAT. Stupid exam. No credible country in the world I know of recruits to master's type degrees with a generic admission test like CLAT. Undergraduate performance and CV material is a far better indicator, IMV.

Had this firm on a opposite side in a matter before the DHC. Their drafting skills is outstanding and of course because of the family background involved in the firm their client base is top tier.

I have no idea about their work culture, but you would get to brief top seniors of the country like Geeta Luthra and Siddharth Luthra on a regular basis which is a plus point if one intends to make their base in SC and DHC.

If you want to do a PhD in Delhi. The options I would suggest are JNU>NLUD>Jamia>GGSIPU and then DU. DU is a cesspool of connections and a**-licking. Nothing more and nothing less. You would barely find professors, let alone decent experts. I suggest you apply some place else.

The sad truth is NLUs are molding kids to be corporate paper pushers. They are book smart, project smart, seminar papers smart and grade smart. But not street smart. They have no access to real political party influence. The only politics they have seen is small student body politics for SBCs, which is more a popularity contest for a small group of elites. They don't know what politics really is, forget about how it's played.

On the other hand visit JNU, DU or BHU. Not a day goes by when some or the other socio-political BS-ing is happening. The class work is negligible, but the street work is aplenty. The kids may not be book smart, but they're street smart. These kids will not make it to corporate, because even corporate knows they'd question everything in the internal structures. That's why they make better lawyers, judges and civil servants.

So, if you want to live a simple salaried life, then join NLUs, where you'll be taught to be a paper pushing corporate slave.

Or, get your hands dirty in the real nitty gritty streets by joining DU, JNU or BHU.

Has CAM gotten insane? Hired everyone and anyone who interned with them.

170 is a big number https://www.barandbench.com/amp/story/Law-School/recruitment-tracker/rectracker-how-indian-law-firms-are-hiring-from-the-batch-of-2025-across-law-schools

Economy is not exactly growing at a decent pace. What is CAM doing?

Yeah LSAT doesn't work like our entrance exams. It is only one factor. A bad score can create problems but a monkey can score well. I understand if these exams are so hard for you that you feel very special when you do well though. US schools look at much more than test scores. They openly accept legacy students, which you would know if you weren't trying so hard to tell yourself that NLUs are ivy leagues.

Hey, you said 4 faculty members resigned. May I know who were they?

I have a reason to ask. I was interviewed for an Asst. Prof. post and I met one of my old friends (who's now at NUJS) when I visited for physical interview. They said "why did you waste money to come here, the post was already promised under the table for one of NKC's stooges, who's been around here for a while doing everything to please NKC". My 7-Panel interview went extremely well, yet the person who my friend named, was selected. Also informal yet very trust-worthy another friend's source, that I was ranked next to this selected person in the merit list.

If the resigned is one among those you named, I can think of writing an email to consider me for the position! It'll be helpful! Whether my request is considered or not. Whether my email makes sense or not, I worked hard for this post, and I believe I deserve a chance at this!

"can anyone tell me that it really wants any preparation?

"What was the level of questions of legal english and maths logical one can pass or it’s difficult and needs a preparation before attempting it ?

"Please tell me the level of questions with an example if can please"

Anyone who writes English like this after having studied law at university for at least a couple of years, seemingly, would need a lot more than "a preparation [sic]". I, unfortunately, am unqualified to give guidance on this subject.

Therefore, I will quote a very old man who was a U.S. attorney I used to correspond with at one point of time - he and I belonged to an email list-serve. He had this pet phrase which he used all the time which I love, "Please advise as you like", which he'd use to end every message. Can't help but feel that that's most appropriate here.

you should know what you have got https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/bengaluru/controversial-registrar-of-nlsiu-resigns-764808.html

OVN got the HAL Chair when VR was the VC. It was basically a chunk of money to train HAL folks in contract management. Don't know what it did later. After Sudhir came in many VR loyalists got shunted or scooted elsewhere. Some immediately and others whenever transfers got arranged.

OVN was later placed on the Ness Wadia Chair something that even NLS had forgotten about. Maybe some initial batches knew abt it because it had an endowment kitty of less than 30 lacs and that came in when either NRM or NLM were heading the law school.

UPDATE: Nalsar Queer Collective has given a statement condemning Rohin and supporting Raghavi. You guys should realise that people in the queer community have all been corroborating Raghavi. They are not coming out in public because of the stigma attached. Not everyone has Raghavi's courage.

Is PETA using scientific logic or being performatively woke? They are saying:

- "Fears around pigeon-related health risks are exaggerated."

hi everyone!! its my first post here. so um im an 11th grader and i really wish to pursue my career in the field of legal studies. my father is an econ lecturer and i do get to hear regular tales regarding how toxic and dry the status quo of academia and research is.
anyways, i have a few questions to put forward:

1. what are the necessary qualifications? im aware of the need to have an LLM but is a PhD required aswell?

2. is the job market super saturated? like for example, if we take the example of STEM fields, most of the people who pursue their PG in pure sciences (ie. physics/chem/bio/math) followed by a PhD find it super tough to bag an academic position, inspite of being meritorious af... due to extreme saturation. is this persistent in the academic domain of law aswell? given, one is a passionate student with good grades, a decent number of publications and a zeal for teaching and learning.

3. what would be the average payscale?

thats all! thank you very much. please help me out!

NLS gets established by NRM and all its VCs have been faculty or students at NLS. Maybe MoGo and VR were "outsiders" but well known to NRM or someone powerful at NLS.

NUJS gets established by NRM and despite 25 yrs of existence it still doesn't have the bench strength nor does the state. When a "son of the soil" was installed, he deepened the rot.

Again the Horsemen will take over just as they did during PIB reign.

Do we have folks who will go beyond rosy, hagiography, self congratulatory stuff? The "struggle and hardwork" myths of the connected?

Do you really think NLS folks, esp the initial batches will ever give real stories if what went down when the Gods were helming it? How Gods played politics among themselves and in student affairs and how that impacted individual fortunes? Or how wards of certain big honchos were allowed to get away with terrible acts?

The same goes for folks from NALSAR, NUJS, NLUD, HNLU and the list cab go on.

Okay let's do an experiment. Why don't we create an archive of real stuff from both past and future in this thread? The hidden and hushed up accounts. Needn't always be the rotten ones. But don't glam up or whitewash.

For example, what caused NRM to be toppled by NLM and others at NLS? How did MoGo come and then get forced out? The Ahluwalia affair? VB and Temple? SKY invasion?

Was it all peaches and cream at NALSAR during FM? Is he really what his acolytes suggest? Why was he denied a third term and how? Just age? How was the inquiry against VS hushed up and Taus oversized role?

Tau politics at NLUD and its beneficial effects. Was he really a benign dictator? How did certain research centres flourish and get a free hand?

The Registrar at NUJS who took out over a crore from univ to purchase a fancy condo but was given an easy way out due to political connections. How Reds allowed a saffron VC and later the Greens did it too? Tales of financial chicanery at NUJS and how inquiries were killed off by successive VCs. Sexual trade offs between faculty and students, including PhD candidates. SJA (in)actions

The degree scam at NLIU Bhopal and how that shocking inquiry was hushed up by supposed saviour VC from NLS. The shenanigans of SS or his predecessors/successors and the whitewashed lives they lead despite eviction. The journey of GSB from here to NLUD.

How the critical dissent of a God was cleaned up in the GNLU review report that slammed Bimpa. How that God had earlier got his friend to accomodate a certain corrupt Registrar from NUJS? Reported sexual abuse hushed up despite HC intervention.

The alleged ▮▮▮ reign of of PJ at RGNUL and tacit support from powerful members of the Bench and VCs like FM. Student protests silenced and hollowed out

Alleged serious sexual abuse on campus but hushed up by successive VCs. The tortuous eviction of ▮▮▮ despite evidence. The hidden support of other NLU students in that eviction.

Oh plz not the hagiographies. There are enough books, court whispers and grandees for all that.

Trial has been a good adaptation of the Good Wife although K remains screechy. Crim J on Hotstar has been good thus far.

Dark humour like Murder Mindfully, a German series on NF was wicked.

SAM had put posters of an AI bot that people can talk to for their mental health issues. Huge shoutout to SAM for truly redefining mental health support — nothing says ‘we care’ like replacing empathy with an algorithm. It’s so comforting to know that when I’m stressed and overworked, I can pour my heart out to a bot programmed to say ‘That sounds tough’ instead of a human being. Groundbreaking stuff, really.

This is a rant post. My life is ruined. I almost interned with all Tier 1s. Got recommended for PPO at two places and things didn't go ahead both the times for reasons I still don't understand.

I have a good profile, did not waste time at law school, and yet I am in this position. Have been unemployed for 6 months now. I am not even getting internships to at least get a leg in the door, everyone's ghosted me. Smaller boutique firms are also not responding. And the thought of having to do a job paying nothing at a Tier 999 (though even that's not panning out for me lol) is messing it all even more for me.

Competition law by far for the following reasons:

1. Intense product and market specific knowledge

2. Economics

3. Facts intensive - might also require forensics assistance to review 9999 emails

4. Always evolving

5. Logic over judicial precedent - this requires high level critical thinking

6. Two fields: enforcement and merger control - both have different jurisprudence

7. Merger filing requires knowledge of company law, FDI rules, etc

8. Enforcement requires knowledge of civil law procedure and crpc procedure

9. Sectoral laws: depending on your case, you’ll also have to study laws governing sectors i.e., SEBI laws, TRAI laws, RBI laws, etc

10. Number crunching and data intensive - requires review of industry to decide which metric should be used amongst production capacity, production, consumption, volume or value, etc.

Competition law as I always say is niche and vast.

PIB escaped thanx to NKC. Now the latter is also allowed to slitter away without an actual scratch? What a great punishment to not let this man go on till Dec 2025 or further?

Now what, a hollow chest thumping farce by SJA while the wheel turns to churn the same spiel in due course of time?

When Messiah came he "forgave" Rao Sahab and his fellow travellers, including Bull of all the financial wrongs (running into crores) provided they leave and inhabit other NLUs etc or lead isolated lives while waiting for the transfer out. Some took more time than others to get the message. But they all did what Messiah ordained.

Credit to Messiah for clean up and subsequent fund raise. Dropping like manna from heaven. Not a surprise there. But it is our human nature, our fault that we forgot the original sins of the charlatans who now leads whitewashed lives in positions of authority elsewhere. Some continue and hopelessly hope that Messiah will eventually ascend elsewhere too.

Dream on. Not anytime soon.

Modelling it upon LSAT and LNAT will mean greater stress on logical reasoning and English.

NLS registrar OV Nandimath resigns post Sudhir appointment controversy

https://www.legallyindia.com/lawschools/nls-registrar-ov-nandimath-resigns-post-sudhir-appointment-20190929-10883

NUJS is a ▮▮▮ for discarded people, it seems 😔. #▮▮▮

LMFAO. NLSIU students went on protest against him and the TLC cartel because they were stalling Sudhir's appointment. 🤣🤣🤣. The media covered it extensively (although LI was the first to break the story). A video was shared where students accosted Nandimath and accused him of subverting the decision to appoint Sudhir by blocking the file as the then Registrar. 😂 VC Elizabeth and another TLC prof were also confronted buy the students. I suggest you guys read the Bar and Bench story, because that summarises things well. Will also appreciate if someone can share the video (might be on old LI threads??).

I feel sorry for NUJS. Once had the most respected and scholarly people in the country as VCs (Madhava Menon, BS Chimni, MP Singh). In those days, it was deemed as a strong rival to NLSIU and was considered better than NALSAR. After that, it's been a continuous slide downhill and the absolute dregs of the world have been running the institute. The decline of the Governing Body is also pathetic: once A-list Supreme Court counsels were on the lost, now it's just an extension of the Trinamool Congress party office.

OVN is better than the current guy in one way: he can speak decently, without embarrassing the institute. But beyond that I don't see much improvement.

My prediction: OVN as VC will rehabilitate all the TLC NLSIU profs who have been forced to move out: Elizabeth, Ramakrishna etc etc. NUJS will be their post-retirement space. Politically, he will kowtow to whoever is in power. Right now, he will be with the TMC. If the BJP wins the 2026 assembly elections, he will side with them.

Is anyone pursuing higher studies from DU Faculty of Law ? I applied for their PhD program. However I don't see any decent professors of international law or human rights. Apart from Dr Anupam Jha, who I emailed and he doesn't have any vacancy. Can anyone tell me any above average professor who's good as a PhD advisor. I know it's tough but just need 2-3 names to consider. Thanks

The EC finally cut the extension elastic of NKC. Nandimath is going to be the new VC. NKC wanted to brazen it out and put a laundry list of things to discuss but all those things deferred since the new VC takes over shortly. Interestingly, four faculty members appointed by NKC also resigned. Apparently, this was in response to a complaint by a former EC faculty member who rightly argued that NKC was being capricious. Expect a new game and changed dynamics in the EC.

Apparently the following were in the race, AKP, Sullu, Rathin B (NBU Law), ID (NLU Meg), Vij (MNLU Nag) among others.

But what about the financial chicanery, shady faculty recruitments etc? PIB inquiries got waylaid by NKC earlier and now this too gets hushed up in exchange for shoving out NKC? And what about his acolytes including the Four Horsemen who will now buzz around Nandi?

No he is not : After 25 years in Mangalore, Nambyar had grown significantly in stature having appeared in numerous cases as a government pleader and public prosecutor. Fortuitously, upon the elevation of Govind Menon [Judge, Supreme Court of India (1956 - 1957)] to the Madras High Court bench, upon a recommendation, Nambyar was invited to take over his practice and juniors at the Madras High Court. Justice V Krishna Iyer J later remarked,

From https://www.barandbench.com/amp/story/columns/mk-nambyar-a-constitutional-visionary-book-review

Basically Menon J- Nambiar- Venugopal- Gsanks.

And surprise surprise Menon J father if you see Gadbois was a zamindar, literally generational privilege and a practice of over 150 yrs is being inherited by him
