This post wasn't some gimmick, rather it is to decry a campaign against some keyboard warriors who claim that NLIU isn't as good as it was. Just because a promotion doesn't happen, doesn't mean there’s a storm. The students prefer to keep it alongside NLUJ/GNLU and sometimes happily choose this institution over any college. That's the ground reality. We are doing quite and even better in some areas than the other Tier-1s, it's not a comparison but to showcase that in Tier-1, there's not a whole lot of difference in quality, yet NLIU is standing apart and restoring its legacy.
a) Bar foreign law firms from opening physical offices in India
b) Follow the Indian Supreme Court's judgement applying the fly in out principle through a term of 6 months
c) They cannot advise on aspects of Indian law, only foreign law
I think that the India desks of foreign law firms can advise on Indian law. (Not so sure, can someone clarify)
If HN clients are willing to pay more for foreign law firms advice, then it's a win-win as they don't have to spent money on opening physical offices.
It does not take away the fact that R3 is an amazing bike, and works well as a sports tourer and remains a bike with a great deal of latitude for a rider to learn.
Diss all you want, baap baap hota hai.
How do students attend these international competitions? As in, who deals with the travel expenses incurred? Does the university pay or the students have to pay for themselves else they can't go?
Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Do I let go of the comfort and stability for growth? I had always planned on shifting to a T1 firm but didn’t because of the stability. But it seems like it’s too early in my career to settle down and not focus on learning as much as I can.
Apart from internships, you could try doing online ADR competitions, even if they're smaller scale ones, they'll still give you exposure.
Most teams I know haven’t even started the process of performance review with their associates. We have no clue when that will happen. Only after that will we get bonuses, then promotion and then increments. Almost on a regular basis by the time we get our increments in September and sometimes even later. That’s half the year FY gone, without any visibility how much money you will make. I understand part of the reason for staggering payouts as such is retention. But to do it to this extent- Is that really fair?
I’m very passionate about this field and I’m sure I’m gonna do well in College.
We come from a Middle Class Background, but this NLU can change our lives. I was contemplating taking a loan. I know that you’re not guaranteed placements just because you’re from a Tier 1. But if I do well and manage to bag one, I feel like this would totally work out.
Is this stupidity? I have nobody else to ask and I self studied for CLAT so no mentors either.
What's the team comparison to the delhi team?
Do they offer PPO? And what's the quality of work/volume?
IP litigation is where the real money and scope is. IP boutiques are making a bank on the litigation side. Plus, you get disputes and civil litigation exposure, so it’s easier for switch practices later on in the future

Question applies also to in-house lawyers working for companies.
You confuse us and you confuse yourself when you deny the significance of a right (freedom of speech) by equating its value with a how person ought to behave. It is in the nature of rights that they are not “earned” on account of a human’s actions but are “inherent” from the moment the human comes into being. In this respect, your reasoning is no different from denying the poor their political franchise because you don’t consider their education and morality as synonymous (and thus acceptable) with your own. In other words, your righteousness and the resulting indignation here is more an expression of your ego than logic. Consequently, it is no good giving examples in other societies where freedom of speech has been violated for that is precisely why I wrote what I wrote in the first place.
As for the charge of why I am “radicalised on these matters”, look no further than the following news reports << https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/lucknow/25-held-37-social-media-accounts-to-be-blocked-for-misinformation-on-operation-sindoor-police-10003315/ >> / << https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/pune-student-held-for-pro-pakistan-post-rusticated-ats-nia-join-probe-9996521/ >>. In the days to come, more of such reports will surely follow.
You may think that your noble intentions in suppressing the rights of others are a valid justification for doing so but I assure you, dear fellow, that those who claim no such nobility will have no trouble in using your reasons against your own rights and of others.
For far too long in this country, under the guise of “decency” and “harmony” and “order”, the rights of the citizen have been forgotten, condemned, and distorted, simply as an assertion of brute power. There is little sense in calling oneself a citizen if one cannot stand for the rights of their fellow citizens, regardless of how pleasant or less-than-pleasant their conduct may have been. To borrow from another good fellow, “[i]f liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” << https://www.marxists.org/archive/orwell/1945/preface.htm >>.

I have an internship schedule with Induslaw Mumbai for summer. any suggestions for team (gencorp and m&a). Also what are the chances for getting a callback.
Any leads or tips would be helpful!
Sorry to say this, but you sound as if students send cold mails purposefully to annoy the partners. NO, we do not. Some of us just don't have any other option.
I have worked for 5 years as a copywriter, and my communication + research skills are as good as anything, am confident about that.
So, advocates and lawyers in Mumbai, may I please get an honest answer to my question? Can I get a job at a Tier 1 or 2 firm? Any additional advice will be appreciated.
Thank you!
TLDR: A 3-year LLB student in Mumbai wants to know if he can get a job at a tier 1 or 2 law firm.
The BCI press release states that the Rules have been amended and notified with the primary objective of safeguarding the interests of Indian advocates.

1. Is pursuing an LLM from NISM a good decision?
2. What are the placement prospects?
3. As a rookie , where should I start?
I'd appreciate feedback from NISM alumni, current students, or anyone familiar with the program.
Sorry for the long post
Any advice is welcome from peers who have faced similar situations .
Ultra mega super flop pro max
Love the take on Continental GT though. Also its so effing heavy. Agreed with the rest, especially with the Triumph 400s being beginner friendly but I just don't feel comfortable with someone who is new to riding (which OP is not) living with a 40+ bhp machine. That said, I will agree. 400s are a good base to start if someone is eyeing the Triumph lineup.
Curious to know why the diss on Hero though. Its just overcrowded, not incompetent, unlike TVS :)
Also anything in particular about Yezdi? I thought they make amazing ADVs?
As far as the bullet is concerned, its a pretty laid-back bike. You might want to try Triumph 660/R7 and figure out if you live for the performance-end as well.
Off-roading again is something you might consider. Maybe a Suzuki Vstrom 850 or even a Ducati Multistrada? From what I have heard, Multistrada is a gem of bike to be in the garage. Have never ridden one.
For your occasional rides, you also have your scramblers. You could even try out neo-cafe racers like Honda Cb650r, see how you like it. Options galore my friend :)
Whoever said that speed bikes is difficult to contain for women, it was a good take but a very crude take, regardless. The comment should have been more focused on a) the height of the rider, b) the capacity to lift heavy things by the said individual and c) the technique to do so. Indian women are generally shorter. I am a 5ft 6 dude and I am scared of owning an ADV although I love the format and this is despite knowing how to compensate for the height to an extent. Height plays a significant factor, so if you are on the taller side, you can check an ADV. They will open horizons for you (literally).
Since you have ridden pulsars, and if you have liked the format of sports bikes/nakeds, I humbly suggest the 660s by Triumph. You'll marvel at how amazing they are :) The new Hondas being launched are amazing too!
To all those who aren't like this and who don't want to be, alright, you also keep being you; but if you treat juniours like the dog who rolled in something smelly, get mentally ready for one day being treated like that yourself, too.
Hayabusa is a nearly 200 bhp bike. Why on God's green earth would you want it to be used by someone who had a God-awful sense of riding bikes? OP has clarified that she is an experienced rider, which is good for her. Both the larger comments stress on experience and safety gears.
The guess on my part was because I have never seen someone ask for a choice between a cruiser-type bike and a superbike. Two very different bikes, with very different audiences. Can she buy either of them or both? Yes.
Some of the comments may be in bad taste, but we all love a female rider. The community can always benefit with more riders who are responsible and love their machines, no matter their cc. Besides, starting with a 150-200cc is a solid advice. Everyone feels they are a Rossi right until their tyres skid. And thanks to the electronic suite on lower-end bikes, people do not even bother with learning the basics. Please do ride and appreciate the lower cc bikes as a great starting point. And if you already do but still don't advocate to start small before jumping big, I have nothing to say to you.
Fixed: This means 1.35 fixed per month subject to 10% TDS. So, after TDS, the amount that will hit your account every month will be 1,21,500.
Bonus: Heard A0s are joining in August. So you'll have worked for about 7 months until end of financial year - bonus will be prorated for 7 out of 12 months. Which means approx. 1.05L. After 10% TDS, approx. 95k will hit your account end of March (if getting full bonus - usually that is the case for A0s).
Over and above all of this, you may given a discretionary bonus (decided by your partner) of up to 1L (prorated for the months you've worked) based on performance. This bonus comes in July/ August if you are eligible for it.
Note that if you don't have any other income, you can claim a tax refund of all the TDS in your tax filing. This refund usually comes in July/ August of the subsequent FY.
Today I felt that my partner was disappointed at me. I am really scared. I hope he doesn’t ask me to leave. This is not the first time where I have not read well the documents of the deal.
2. Professionally bad: Doesn't take interest in teaching juniour lawyers the ropes, is like that American law firm partner who told the London Times (on condition of anonymity) that the usefulness of juniour lawyers is little more than "bugger all" but doesn't help us understand how we could be more useful, humiliates people in front of their team, doesn't take responsibility when something goes heywire but expects his juniours to take the blame, expects 24 hour availability (while not necessarily reflecting that in his own schedule), doesn't stand up for his team and in any other way behaves like a terrible person.
Very few M&A PE VC rainmaker teams are making that much. Most of these teams happen to be understaffed, which is why the bill share value is pumped up to great levels.
I too try my best to be as helpful as possible to the interns. Not so long ago, I was in their place, so I know how it feels. 😊
If any Indian buys trump apartments in India. The reason is simple - it is an indirect way to bribe the Trump administration. By buying an apartment you will get favours from trump government. You get access to Trump's children.

If you’re considering an education loan, NLIU is definitely worth it. Just imagine the networks, exposure, mentorship you’ll have at a Tier 1 NLU. If you do well in law school, you’ll definitely be able to repay the loan yourself. The opportunities at NLIU is worth more. go for it
I’m a second year NLSIU student, from Bangalore as well. Christ is simply not good.
I initially presumed the court room scenes were, but on a second look at the RGNUL moot court it seems they do not match. Anyway it seems the choice of movie shot at RGNUL is better than what was done at NUJS a few years ago :P
Buying a Busa to look like Om Kapoor arriving on the film set (Lower Parel/BKC/Delhi/Noida office) might not be the best idea ever.
r3 is a tested machine in this regard, although the VFM is deplorable. Flipside is you will get loads of aftermarket accessories.
I will definitely consider the education loan for this and make sure to work hard in college :)
Please don’t misunderstand me. This is a genuine grievance. When I said appraisal, I meant appraisal process with the partners where they discuss your performance with you. Filling up the form is on us, Associates. My grievance is exactly this- that whatever needs to be done by us is always done on time. But what needs to be done by the senior management takes its own sweet time.
We all know the March bonus is only a small component of the entire bonus and the majority is paid out later. Officially there is a timeline for this- and my issue is almost never is this timeline met. Whatever may be the reason. I know the firm is doing well and I am not here to drag it down like others. I know money is not an issue. It’s the lackadaisical approach of the senior management. The timelines are not adhered to- period. Let know one tell me otherwise.
I am a reasonable rationale person and not some troll that I will unnecessarily raise issues. I have raised it with my partner as well, and he/ she keeps promising will happen soon. I want to try this for client deliverables and tell my partner “have some patience- it will happen soon”. I understand things may have become better compared to Luthra days- but if we truly want to build a professional and quality firm- it needs to address these things. A lot of my fellow associates are also unhappy with this- and the only reason I am raising it here, is because we don’t get a chance to raise this anywhere else. Give us a proper platform internally to raise and will happily take it there.
I am guessing that you genuinely want to buy a bike, and thus would at least have some skills and experience previously riding one, or at least a desire to do a long bike ride with friends, then i would say 400 cc to 650 cc would be an ideal range, it would require skills and effort but it would be worth it.
Standard caution: As someone who goes on regular bike rides, and loves riding, I would like to tell you that a motorcycle is much different than a car, mostly coz of the power involved in the motorcycle in comparison to the weight to safety while riding a bike, (i have gotten in enough accidents to learn to respect the throttle and be a better rider). Check out different bikes and test ride them, as different bikes have different riding postures and features, which shape the experience differently for each bike, for example RE continental is more speed focused with an aggressive back breaking posture, whereas KTM ADV 390 would be more relaxed posture with more stability.
So, coming to your choice, i would say most Harleys (except Panamerica) are useless, they are only good for nostalgia or "hype", Otherwise, they are too expensive to maintain and lack power in comparison to their competitors; there is a reason why Harley is unprofitable. If you like the idea of big bikes, check out Kawasaki or Triumph. If you like the old chopper look of Harley, maybe check Indian motorcycles (the company). Apart from that, the Suzuki Vstrom 850 is also a solid choice. I would like to suggest BMW coz their bikes are great but please beware,e they are expensive AF, like really really expensive. Lastly, someone here suggested norton, and it is good, but remember it would be expensive to maintain too, as it also lacks good service network. Hayabusa is a solid choice, in a good budget, it provides an amazing level of power but if you are a beginner, please, please don't buy it, it's way too powerful.
Also, you can also look at indian "affordable" options like Royal Enfield (too many service centers visit tho lol), KTM / Husqavarna or Triumph, etc, (Not Yezdi or Jawa or even Hero, they need to improve their service and spare parts availability before, and if you have budget, try to get something good).
Adding on, while you want to get a bike and yes it would be expensive, please understand, with the bike, the more important purchase would be the safety gear, like a good helmet (arai or shoei or smk or axor) and a good jacket, boots, pants, and gloves. I can not even count the number of times I or fellow riders I know have been saved from getting permanent injuries only because of the fact we got good gear on during the time of athe ccident, so please take this advice from a fellow rider.
Lastly, don't get overwhelmed, it's a lot of decisions, yes, but its worth it! the air on your face, the feeling of freedom and the power! its addictive! no matter which city you work in, you would find fellow female biek riders who would help you in your journey! i hope you do share an update if you do decide to get the bike.
