Well KSK is a firm run by two individuals Rajesh & Jidesh. While Rajesh is the legal person and Jidesh is a business person. I have worked with KSK for a good two years and below are my pointers:

1. For me its was good given I am a male and i had good knowledge of the subject. But if you you are a fresher learning opportunity is very limited as majority of the people are AI based lawyers.

2. ▮▮▮

3. Money offered at times is good, but that is also dependent on your previous salary.

4. There are selected partners who are really good, like sukrit, nivedita even the data privacy partners.

5. If your partner is chilled, office environment is very chilled.

6. There is a very high attrition rate across teams.

Hey @mods, sorry for chasing on this, but I was wondering what's up with the lovely list. Seems like it went online for a while, and then pulled down by Google again.

If so, did anyone make a copy and can share it here? (even if it might not be updated to the date), and for the longer term, has the team thought of other alternatives, so that whoever is reporting the sheet, doesn't unnecessarily get it down again?

This is a little urgent - so if possible, kindly do moderate this faster, and let us know of any updates.

Thanks a lot!

Yaar weekends chodo, my partner asked me to leave law when I told them I'd not be able to work on Sunday morning, when my AIB exam was, because my centre was all the way in Nalasupara (a Mumbai suburb that's really far from the city centre for those not from Mumbai), and I'd need a lot of time to travel to-and from the exam centre. They wanted to have the evening off, so needed me to work in the first half (I ended up not doing it though, for which I think they are still extracting revenge on me I think).

This was a CAM-Mumbai-Fourth-floor partner of course.

Hi, please look into Wadia/DSK/Stratage/BLC or any boutique GC firms (lots of partners have gone rogue and started their own practices, a bit of research would go a long way) - apply directly to these partners and also the HR. These firms/boutique set ups hire well after graduation, and honestly you might convert in Wadia if your performance is good. Trilegal also takes Trainee Associates from what ive heard, get in touch with anyone you know in these firms and ask around. Keep applying directly.

It's simple. In the previous generations, the purchasing, aspirational class was an anglicised elite confined to metro cities. Now, the masses rule. NLSIU would never name a festival today as Strawberry Fields. It would probably be called Bindaas Masti or something liek that.

The anglicised elite now mostly live abroad. Those living in India send their children to Ashoka and Jindal.

Working knowledge requires effort and time. Some unfocussed jack of all trades approach to make a quick buck will have you doing incorporations for 200 Rs. forever because nobody will come to you for anything else, and you won't learn anything else, not even what you set out to do initially.

RML has been around for nearly 20 years now. We keep hearing about the “alumni network” but can anyone even tell us how many RML alumni are partners at established firms today? and what are they even doing to bring internships and jobs to campus? Other NLUs seem to have alumni actively opening doors for their students.

I am a middle class kid who did really well academically high GPA and internships but I am still unemployed. The college does not assist with placements AT ALL. They have a useless career placement officer who does everything (remember Desi Boyz, guys and gals?), but bringing in placements. Atp, private colleges like Symbiosis are doing a better job in grabbing in house and firms roles. Joker of an institution NLS has become.

The problem did not start today. Classes are not conducted on a regular basis, attendance records are not kept, and students have been allowed to sit for exams with zero attendance for years under the TMC rule. The protests that you see today are expected when you try to change a corrupt system that has been put in place for the last 15 years. You can't change it overnight.

chup chap GLC me jhola lekar aane ka, shanti se shadow banke paanch saal kaatneka aur first year se fifth year tak ek ich office me baithe rehne ka, na koi loan ka bojha, na koi unemployment ki fikar, aur tumko lagta hai ki Mumbai me rahoge kaise, to sun lo, 15-20% bacche kaise bhi karke hostel me aa jaate hai fir chahe wo private ho ya government, and rest of them will do flat sharing and tie their shit together like adults and not cry for lacking study tables in hostel, honestly speaking, if you are the right material you will out earn your expenses of all five years through your internship money only, placement lage to placement nahi Lage to apna office zindabaad, koi shaq reh gaya ho to iirf ki 2026 ki ranking dekh lena and graduate outcome and employability me sort kar lena, india me 3rd hai apun ka college, samjhe bhai, Bombay sab ko apnaata hai, baki nlu loan me wat lagata hai

If you don’t understand what point 4 means, that itself suggests you may not have sufficient familiarity with capital markets. In that case, it would be better to avoid commenting on matters you are not entirely sure about, particularly when doing so may spread inaccurate information.

Also, SAM, CAM and S&R are broadly at par in terms of compensation and international opportunities. The primary difference lies in the nature of the mandates. At CAM and SAM, you are likely to get more exposure to company counsel work, in that order.

CAM has a team of over 100 lawyers, which naturally allows for somewhat more breathing room compared to some other capital markets teams. That said, you will be working under significant pressure at all three firms. Choose wisely.

I have come across a bunch of profiles which state their "long-term" internships at Khaitan being paralegalship (looked at students interning in corporate/B&F/funds). Does an actual paralegal position exit at Khaitan, is it any different than a long term internship.

How does the procedure to apply even work since I'm told Khaitan has a strict 1-month and 1-internship policy but I know of people who flout both these norms. Is it only through having contacts inside the firm or is there a separate application procedure for these positions?

Got into an insignificant Group A service through upsc, don't know if I should join this or practice. Has anyone made it in litigation after hiatus in a completely different field? Want to litigate in Delhi but my father is hard pressed for the odd 40- 50kish I need to survive there for atleast a year. Would I lose out if I don't join the profession immediately?

hi, i'm a non-nlu grad (batch of 2027) with keen interest and substantial experience in insolvency and restructuring (madaan law offices, ukca, sasttra i've worked with). keen to know what value this practice area has in t1-t3 law firms. AND if the corporate teams (distressed assets/restructuring) would be willing to hire someone with litigation experience in ibc.

The recent ones...

1. Convocation cancellation and standoff with BCI
2. Infrastructure collapse and campus protests
3. NLSAT exam discrepancies
4. BCI approval listing delays

A bit confused about navigating insider trading regulations, and I’ve stopped investing altogether because of it.

I don’t want to keep my savings in an FD, and I currently have a high risk appetite, so I’m comfortable investing most of all of my savings in stocks/SIPs.

How does a regular retail investor navigate insider trading rules? What should I be careful about to avoid inadvertently violating them?

The main problem at NLSIU is not criticism of a particular political party or dispensation(which is the hallmark of a thriving democracy), but rather an overly vitriolic atmosphere created by the left wing. So much so that being a right-winger here is a crime, and you have almost no avenues to express your views. Any polite counter-argument to someone whom you think is making a completely irrational statement will be met with name-calling, and you'll be subjected to a volley of hate and bullying.
Not that this is entirely the fault of the students; this environment has been nurtured by the administration itself, where the professors and the course curriculum reflect a distinct ideological bias, and opposing ideas and arguments are shamelessly muffled by your own peers. The students here, (the moment they find out that you're a right-winger) will resort to all kinds of foul language and cyberbullying.

I faced this problem too. But I think there classes were okay tbh. At this price point we shouldn't have expected better classes. But regarding the non responsive behaviour, yes that I agree with you. Moreover their whatsapp group is also Admins only so there is no channel of reliable contact with them

Oh I am sorry.

We know the men who worked and had things tick along. In return there were attempts to ▮▮▮

Someone lead the internal lynch mobs from the shadows which clearly you're a part of. ▮▮▮. I can drop names but that would be a disservice to them.

▮▮▮ Defend your bread and butter, but expect a stink. Now when those people who rebuild on their own, you mock them. Just sit down.

My god- nls people are really so obsessed with such rudimentary things. Relax you all- none of this really matters in the long run. Once you are out in the world, your college will only take you a very small distance (sometimes, not even that). So, pls chill. Focus on becoming better human beings. Obsession with nls’ reputation and contempt for other universities makes you look quite dumb.
