1. "The faculty is very well paid." Are you able to elaborate on this, with evidence? Is the pay at or above 7th CPC?

2. "We have some of the best and most qualified faculties that can be found across the country." Again, what more can you say about these faculty. Have they done postgraduate degrees from the world's finest universities? Have they gotten amazing work experience after their BALLBs? Or do they have both - amazing work experience + good LLM and/orPhD?

I'm a fresher and therefore everything is pretty much new. I was planning on trying my hand at arbitration (International/Domestic). Any input on which office would be suitable for a noobie in terms of learning curve and pay? Looking out for firms/offices in Bombay/Delhi/Chennai/Bangalore

In western universities, most students are paying for their own tuition. If they don't secure employment, more often than not they bear the brunt of heavy loans. In India, the entitled woke brats are living off their parents, who pay their fees. Hence the universities are bound to the parents, not the students. And the parents won't agree to co-ed hostels.

you will find an online article that pathologises every emotion a human being can ever feel. Go on some incel websites that guys there will tell you that youve had your human rights violated because a woman refused you. Thats surely not the standard for actual diagnoses of actually disruptive conditions that require medical interventions.

How many parents do you think would refuse to send their daughters to college if college did not offer sex segregated housing and bathrooms? Why is it that privileged idiots cannot see past their own wants and desires even one bit. If youre woke- alert to injustice- shouldnt you be pro- whatever measure gets more women into universities?

Will law schools and other educational institutions in Karnataka now be subject to 51% OBC reservation? https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/70-of-karnataka-population-is-obc-says-caste-census-3491512

I don’t understand why A3s here looking to switch now. Every in house is looking for 4-5 PQE+ and not lower.

Finish your SA year, put your head down and get it over with. I’m in the same position and I know its awful to continue but its one more year and it really sets you up.

I’m in a T2 and earning slightly below your pay. Plus at A3 you will be given more autonomy on transactions, being the only associate, run most of the transaction and only flag to PA/Partner when needed etc.

You literally said only speech about state should be protected and everything private can be subject to hate crime laws. What regulation? Why are you trying to squirrel away your argument through word magic? The question is whether someone should go to jail because they said something you or I or even the majority of the people deem to be hateful. You think they should. Thats what this law does that youre supporting. calling it regulation or censorship doesnt make that much of a difference. You can call it reeducation or you can call it puppification- nicer sounding words wont mask the reality of what youre proposing.

Tell me who do you imagine will be enforcing this law? do you trust the police and the judiciary and the state to enforce a law like this without targeting their opponents? Authoritarians never assume that they might not be the ones in power- its bananas.

Look at the government today- who are they more likely to put in prison given half the chance? a comedian who makes fun of "bamans and baniyas" or a comedian who makes fun of opposition leaders? I understand you consider most of the country to be intolerant bigots who should just be censored and not engaged with. But for your own self-interest, doesn't it make sense to limit state power in censoring speech? My god, has law school failed you.

What form? What are you even talking about? Think about what you're writing for two seconds. How do you regulate form of speech and not content? You can write prose but not poetry? You can make a speech but not a movie? That's such an artificial and meaningless distinction that you're hiding behind to make it seem like this kind of regulation can ever be reasonable or constitutional. It is neither. You either have free speech to say taboo things or you dont.

The only limits that should be acceptable to civilized people is incitement to criminal offences. thats it. I miss 2014 when the left was the party of free speech and the bastion of liberalism. What a shame it is that the youth are so ill informed and ill educated that one needs to educate law students on the basics.

because youve made it clear you think the freedoms the constitution mentions in its fundamental rights chapter should be subservient to your conception of right and wrong, beneficial and harmful. You dont seem to agree that people in a democracy should be free to disagree about things, important things, and have a right to say and think what they like. its very anti democratic. Its exactly this stuff that our freedom fighters fought against. You clearly dislike the basic building blocks on which our constitution is built. Article 19 exists. If you want it to not-you dont like the constitution. You dont like what our country is about. You want to live in an authoritarian regime where the government can put you in prison for saying the wrong thing "for the greater good". that is not what I see in the consitution.

speech is not "soft power" what ever that means. free speech actually is a basic human right. If you understood anything about our constitution or political history you would know that. Liberty is the souls right to breathe. It violates the dignity and autonomy of people to censor speech. And it hampers the ability of the human race to discuss difficult matters and actually move forward and find the truth and find some answers.

What actual harm does homophobic casteist racist speech cause? Its just speech. Who is so hurt by speech? Surely if hearing someone say something you dont like causes such psychic harm thats something you need to work on for your own wellbeing instead of forcing everyone else to conform to your morality. Short of speech that incites violence- I dont know why any speech should be regulated at all.

I dont like homophobes or casteists or racists- my answer to them - which is unimaginable to authoritarians- is to engage with them and change their minds. I dont think suppressing their speech reduces actual prejudice do you? In fact it might make them retreat into their bubbles and cause deep divisions in society.

Who decides what are harmful ideas? You do? the majority of the country does? the oppressed victim classes? academic elite? thats the problem you see. In real life people genuinely disagree about what is harmful and its mad to me that you say things like "harmful ideas" without realising exactly how much you might have in common with everyone who supported tyranny. This is not what our constitution is about. Are you sure you want to be in a democracy? do you even understand what that means?

no, if you're from jindal you'll understand how regressive of a space it actually is. starting next semester (and for a brief time in this one), our freedom will be limited. 95% of us are majors, but still cannot even leave campus without parental permission. and even as a senior, you can't stay out all night unless your parent approves your exit. this isn't about sex or intermingling, things like these happen when you try to control grown adults and their choices.

if colleges were respectful of autonomy, there'd be designated hostels for women like you who do not want their hostels to have cross access. think and do better.

What do you know of faculty salary? My friends work there. They are being paid the same money that they would have got in a public university paying 7th CPC. "Constant poaching?" How many people from NLSIU, NALSAR, NUJS etc. have quit their universities and joined BITS lately unless they really need to stay in Mumbai and GLC or MNLUs were not an option?

Hey everyone, I am in 2nd year of a tier-3 nlu.I have been confused about which path to choose in carrier,recently i had dawned myself with clearance that i would solely go for anything which would help me in settling abraod(Europe). Since law has very little scope as compared to engineering and mba folks in helping settling things abroad and me hailing from a tier-3 nlu,what would you all suggest me to start working on? I only have time in my hand, so it is a humble request to you all to guide me and give me your valuable inputs.

Regards

I'm really getting mad at the comments here! 😡 The middle class is overtaxed like anything, while rich farmers and politicians pay no tax. And yet you people are shaming us for aspiring to wear a nice designer brand now and then, or buy the cheapest BMW/Audi model? This is textbook communist thinking: just pick on the middle class and guilt-trip them, while glamorising poverty and overlooking the super-rich.

The girl could have hurt her neck/spine badly and even died of oxygen deprivation. At all universities, it is an age-old practice for boyfriends to sneak into girls hostels by climbing pipes and parapets. The girlfriend never does so. The girlfriend is never put in danger of physical harm. The Jindal girl’s boyfriend is thus an insensitive, patriarchal and toxic idiot for endangering her like this.

I was a troubled kid in college and if I had to depend on a college counsellor I'd have likely harmed myself more, not less. Counsellors are simply nowhere near as effective as a reliable, non-toxic student community. Students should fix their own issues first and work on being a fraternity instead of coming up with nonsense like "state health system" lol

How do voluntary single-sex hostels deny anyone freedom or autonomy? The couple was free to go home, rent a hotel etc., right? I don't deny Indian hostels have some archaic stuff going on but Jindal of all places?! Single-sex spaces exist for reasons other than stopping us from boinking. This might amaze you but not everything in life is about sexual intercourse. As a female student, I do NOT want to intermingle with Indian men post work and study hours. I don't want men sneaking in via suitcases either.

not everyone's courageous enough to do what you're doing all the best buddy. Couple of things that you might want to do:

1. accomodation. Look for PGs/hostels in areas like Mukherjee Nagar (for students), Uttam Nagar, Laxmi Nagar, or Seelampur. Dirt cheap and full of others grinding it out. (Emergency accomodation: Gurudwara Bangla Sahib or others often provide temporary shelteror search for Search “Rain Basera near me”)2. food: langars at gurudwaras, community kitchenns like roti bank feeding india, you can also get 25 rupee meals at iskcon tempes idk if its a regular thing. Rajma Chawal and Chhole Bhature near Connaught Place, Kamla Nagar, or Karol Bagh at ₹30–₹50 per plate.

3.transport: Delhi is flat and walkable in short stretches. in any case, get dtc bus passes or metro passes. shared autos are also nice.

4. others: DU Libraries, Nehru Memorial Library, or the Central Secretariat Library -- quiet, free AC + WiFi + power outlets. Free Medical Aid at Mohalla Clinics.

5.hustle smart: Odd jobs, tutoring, content writing, Swiggy/Zomato delivery, or freelancing or cab driving/rapido rides before and after your litigation jobs. do anything to get started. Delhi rewards the relentless.

(P.S: this is coming from someone who hasnt yet graduated, ik this is how i will navigate it)

You're also making blanket assumptions.... Nowhere did I state that non state actors don't need to be held accountable. Regulation ≠ outright censorship. You also missed the part where I said that on non state actors , regulation of speech should be regarding its form and not it's substance

I don't believe that soft power like speech needs to remain unregulated. There's obvious many examples of speech that can be harmful. I.e homophobic, racist and casteist hate speech. I was just asking that if censorship isn't the answer them what is ? The harm that needs to be curbed is the disproportionate attention harmful ideas get

You are correct,

A1 - 14.2(fixed) + 4.8(bonus) + 3(bill share)

Please note that the bill share is very dynamic, it can be as low as 3 lakhs per year or as high as 5-6 lakhs per year.

Any Associate would easily bill 50-60 lakhs so you are getting 4 lakhs easy in good cap marks conditions

It’s not like Saudi Arabia or Pakistan to have sex segregated housing. Not all women are comfortable sharing living quarters with unrelated men. There’s reasons for safety, privacy and dignity. A few consenting women who want to have sec with their boyfriends cannot consent for everyone else.

If you want to live with your boyfriend - maybe just take a house on campus instead of throwing all the other women under the bus.

Sex is not a basic human right or a need. No one died because they didn’t have sex. You cannot enforce a “right to sex” by forcing someone else to have sex with you. At best sex is a want. Adults can want and do whatever they like with other consenting adults. But adults also know that there is a time and place for things. No one is demanding that their workplaces have rooms for sex now are they ? That’s what a university is - it’s just the place you learn. It’s an unreasonable burden on the university to demand they create separate rooms for you to have sex in. And even if they did - how would they know who to let in ? Would they be liable if something were to go wrong ? There are 17 year olds on most campuses- what to do about them ? Do they give parties a form to denote consent ? Do you remember the Jgls sexual harassment/rape case from a few years back where the young girl was being blackmailed ? What happens when someone catches a disease in the room?

Why should the university assume any liability for all of this when they’re not the ones engaging in the behaviour?

Bottom line : if you’re old enough and mature enough to have sex- you should talk to your parents and figure out how to do it safely. If you don’t even have the courage to do that- you’re being ridiculous demanding it as a basic human right. Maybe if you actually studied law instead of thinking about sex all the time you would see how ridiculous this is.

Hi I am working in M&A PE/VC team at a Tier 1 firm at A3 band, now I have realized I have genuinely have no interest in becoming a Partner. The law firm hours have affected my health physically a lot and the money and grind just doesn't seem worth it. I am earning in the range of 27-29 LPA at my current role, I am fine taking a bit of cut as well what opportunities do Gen Corp, M&A PE/VC lawyers have if they want slightly reasonable work-life. Inhouse seems the way to me however I know the nitty gritty of making switches within law firms and skills sets required for team specific roles. I am unsure how lateral hire at Inhouse level works, whom should I reach out. I would want to be working only in Corporate teams as unfortunately I have almost very limited knowledge wrt to disputes practice or litigation side of things. What kind of companies or places would be good ? Is making a switch from a Tier 1 law firm to Inhouse easier ? While negotiating the salary how much of cut should I be fine with ? Any help would be appreciated.

My first advice would be to stop seeking advice on this platform as most of the answers here would only discourage you and make you feel hopeless.

Secondly, please be open to litigation as this is the best way of acquiring the "real legal skills". Plus, this is also the best way for you to kickstart your legal career.

Finally, though this might be easier said than done, regardless of what you choose to do please do not fuss too much about the salaries especially in the early stages of your career as you are still young and have several decades of your career ahead of you. So compromising on the pay in the initial few years isn’t going to drag you behind in life. But anyways this is your decision to make as it’s only you who knows your situation well.

Good luck mate.

Now that y’all have finished laughing and seeing the memes, we need to discuss some serious issues.

First of all, we need to revisit the rule about single-sex hostels. All the top universities in the world abroad have mixed gender hostels and so should India. At least the elite universities. We can’t be like Saudi Arabia or Pakistan.

Secondly, if we’re to insist on this archaic rule, we need spaces for sexual privacy. It is absolutely ridiculous to deny students sexual freedom and autonomy. Sex is a basic human need and human right. It’s ridiculous what lengths the JGLS couple went to, just to get some sexual privacy. The girl could have been badly hurt.

Hi, I am a final-year law student from a tier-3 law college with a interest in Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). I wanted to ask—how important is it to intern at a law firm in this field? Also, could you please suggest some easy and effective ways to secure internships and how much I expect?

I am about to get promoted to A1. I work at 213, Okhla Office which is recently renovated and has infra worse than 216.

We get cheap food in the name of evening snacks. Entire floor share one WC.

We are expecting an appraisal of 80k i.e., 6k per month.

Working on weekends, hate going to suffocating building, not getting paid enough - fixed component is less than any T1 firm out there. I do not understand how can they behave this way. I do not intend to switch but have no reason to stay.

KCO & Trilegal are better in every respect, at what stage should I consider switching? SA Level?
