If you do not mind, could you please consider sharing your reasons for it? It would truly be appreciated given how little information is available to outsiders and prospective students when they decide to apply to a particular institution. In general, NLSIU checks all the boxes. Hence, it would be extremely helpful if you could share your perspective in detail. Thanks.

“Everyone wants to be an “ally” these days, although it isn’t clear what this actually involves. Madison has certainly embraced the jargon, always referring to “sex workers” — a phrase designed to pretend it’s a job like any other — rather than prostituted women. Normalising the sale of women’s bodies has been a prime objective of people who make money from it, and it’s been extraordinarily successful.

To its shame, the British Government has even adopted the term, with a 2014 review for the Department of Health claiming that “sex worker” is now “the preferred term used throughout the literature”. …

Male violence is, of course, what prostituted women face every day of their lives. That’s not what the audience at the Oscars wants to hear, cocooned in clothes borrowed from their designer friends and in their chauffeur-driven limousines. Sunday night was an opportunity for celebrities to congratulate themselves on being cool and “sex-positive”, while remaining at a safe distance from the reality of an existence plagued by violence, homelessness and addiction.”

Apologies for the long post but I hope you will all consider reading this in full. I have provided the details below. My question is, how do such flimsy charges ever pass the muster with the honourable judge? Do they not observe the blatant partisanship with which law enforcement has been weaponised against fundamental rights? In this particular case, the defendants have now been remanded in judicial custody for 14 days! Was the honourable judge correct in how they applied the law? Is their order in conformity with the existing jurisprudence on this subject?

DETAILS: Two journalists, Ms. Revathi Pogadadanda and Ms. Tanvi Yadav were arrested at around 5 a.m. on 12 March 2025 by Hyderabad police on the complaint of a state secretary of the Congress Social Media Cell. According to << https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/hyderabad/two-youtube-journalists-arrested-in-telangana-over-derogatory-video-about-cm-revanth-reddy-9883093 >> “[t]he FIR has been filed under the Information Technology Act section 67 (transmitting obscene material) and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 111, 61(2), 353(2), and 352. The BNS sections deal with publishing or circulating any statement or report containing false information, rumour, or alarming news, and also with intentionally insulting someone to provoke a breach of peace.”

“P Viswaprasad, the Additional Commissioner of Police (Crimes and SIT), said, ‘The alleged video was shot at BRS headquarters in Banjara Hills in February and released on March 10, just ahead of the Budget session, as per an orchestrated plan to insult, defame, and abuse the CM. The content of the video is vulgar, derogatory, insulting, and abusive, crossing all levels of decency. The accused have been doing this repeatedly and posting on social media for fame and views. We have evidence that they have received monetary incentives from the BRS party. We will investigate every aspect.’”

See, I get it i was also close to one of the deceased souls, and maybe this is my way of coping but, we clearly got a message on our batch group from the admin that "The university is having a memorial tomorrow morning at 10 around the acad block. There will be no official mail regarding the same, but whoever is on campus can go to the acad block."

This was just the admin trying to save its face, once the news leaked amongst the local media (which is very hostile to the NLUJ admin) and on LI only then MM and the admin decided to send a mail which we got roughly at 9:34 AM.

The insensitive way the admin handled the situation was appalling, and this has happened earlier as well, the way they had handled the alleged murder of Vikrant Nagaich, may he rest in peace.

But alas, our messages on this platform won't do much other than aggravate the pain. Let's bury the hatchet.

May their Souls Rest in Peace.

If you put your focus and concentration on how doomed you will be, then doomed you will be. It's as simple as that. You are applying focus all the time even when you think you are not. For e.g., by simply worrying about 'being doomed', you are actually focusing on 'being doomed'.

So you have to focus on an outcome that is highly positive for you in terms of your abilities and capacities and the compounding you envision for yourself over the course of 5 years.

Focus on that. Cultivate that mindset. Build that habit to consciously focus on having a highly positive outcome. Then things will be better.

When you are thinking of how to not be doomed, you are actually focusing on a state of being doomed, which will lead you there. At the end of 5 years, you might even think, oh well, it was inevitable because of the 3 year gap. DON'T MAKE IT A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY.

1. Random subject allocation.

2. Overburdening with administrative work

3. Students and administration all blaming faculty

4. Hardly any vacations and if you have, there is work from home

5. Pressure of publications in Scopus with no real time to research

6. Parents calling faculty to discuss why their adult child isnt performing well.

to name a few.....

So are these ads or not?

Kisi ko kuch nahi pata because no body wants to invest in Litigation considering there's a tuition fee that needs to be paid off. Apart from that surviving in a city whether you are an aborigin or not. Yes. It is a cost. Even for those who have been staying in cities for three generations. The mid sized and small sized firm market WILL GIVE YOU NOTHING IN WRITING. The peon who has stayed there for a decade or more is far more valuable regardless of the fact that he will tear or hide away your papers to make it look that you were fired for legitimate reasons. Then comes the you get junior with an ego issue who was hired a month ago and hence a senior regardless of the fact that you have close to or more than half a decade of experience. It's straight jacket path to screwing up your social and mental peace when someone says beta come join us, we will give you your documentation in writing in a month. DO NOT FALL PREY FOR SUCH SHADY PROSPECTS.

I gave the exam this year. While preparing for the exam, I also solved the previous year question papers of 2023 and 2024, so I would say that the question paper of this year was easier compared to last year. But the questions were quite tricky, conceptual based and a good test to your overall legal GK. Questions like who appeared for Menaka Gandhi in the famous case came. If you have a good grasp of the subjects, then you should be able to clear it. Results usually take a month to come out and the interview has no fixed timeline as such as per my knowledge.

Your question already had the answer - lies.

Lies such as, NUJS will become great again under a new VC whose heart bleeds only for NUJS just like the incumbent and his predecessors and the teach; that the "search" process will be truly objective and not a ritual crowning of an apparatchik/front wo/man; chicanery will stop when the "new" VC takes over; the incumbent will truly be gone etc.

Scandals rocked NUJS during PIB reign, LI/Kian covered those extensively and in some instances exclusively. Due credit must be given to the SJA, which got hollowed out and suborned when NKC and Co took over. Now SJA is HMV.

Despite intrepid work by the SJA then, the inquiries were eventually killed off. While one can rightly point fingers at the VC, what about the worthies adorning the governing bodies, including the "venerable" judges?

Well I cannot really answer that since it’s for them to decide. If the profile was an issue then they probably shouldn’t have shortlisted it.

Regarding pedagogies, I do not think they are set in stone and they differ based on the subject and your audience.

I have never see any panel where only one person ask questions out of 10. It is highly unusual and create suspicion towards the process. Anyhow, I probably wouldn’t be joining even if get selected.

Best of luck to you too! I hope someone deserving gets in rather than any pseudo intellectual who merely uses the rhetoric of equality.

How come they committed a rookie mistake?

I would suggest this activity - get to realise what practice area really appeals to you, get to understand what and how work happens in that field, and build yourself to be the greatest in the world at that work.

Connections are important, more important than competence from my experience at SAM - but I really think that it’s like finding a life partner with finding a law firm partner - either you hit it off or you don’t. I mean love yourself, do great work and you will find someone who values you.

Just my thoughts. Would love you hear what other law firm peeps think about this…

As seen in movies and shows, top executives, lawyers, and other high-profile professionals often network while engaging in activities like golf or tennis.

So, what activities are lawyers in Bangalore and Mumbai into? Due to my incessant clubbing and partying during my teenage years, I have made enough contacts to gain access to these circles. However, which activity should I choose to put myself in the company of prominent lawyers, specifically law firm partners, so that I can impress them and secure a job?

1. Your otherwise excellent appeal is only slightly undermined by the fact you began the body of this post with saying "JLGS" instead of "JGLS".

2. Regarding the two faculty who went to Australia, are you sure they would have gone two ranks down if they had been moving to another Indian university (even NLSIU)? Sure, there is stuff to blame JGLS for in this - don't get me wrong! But still...

Hello, while i understand the sentiment behind this post, i dont think anyone is particularly at fault here. First, its not easy to change examination schedule and you need vv grave reasons to change the schedule (which was clearly not in this case)

Secondly, while the exam may have been a factor for students to take the bus, its not uncommon for students to travel through private buses to attend fests. This has happened a lot of times before.

Third, the admin did take put official statement by registrar to the students. Sent a lot of counselling and support mail, infact additional counsellors were called upon the same day to support students mentally.

Fourthly, the memorial/condolescence meeting did take place today and an email came out for that too

There is frankly nobody’s fault except for maybe the drivers of the bus and the

we know for sure who the finalists will be: MKS, FM and ID.

for MKS it will be a homecoming with wiping the slate of all the problems that arose about his transience

for FM it will be coming back to the top 3, with his ultimate goal still 4.5 years away, he will have one final shot at it

ID is the fav of the current admin, it will be more the same of old, with perhaps two crowns, may be some old favs will also migrate in

as usual SJA has no clue, the current ones know neither to lobby nor to politic, if I say what they know this message will be marked as trollish, so I refrain

NUJS typifies the current state of the country, success despite the lack of support, so it will continue chundering on

whoever managed to clear it before this, lucked out immensely.

though personally, it does not make sense. why can they not make the training itself more rigorous? or maybe just 1 year practice only? 3 years is too much. 1 year practice + 1 year training is more than sufficient.

Dear JLGS,

I'm an alumni of the law school. For godsake, please get serious about your hiring and promotions policy. When Oishik Sircar, who has been a full professor for so many years at JGLS, joins Melbourne Law as Senior Lecturer (2 ranks below), and when Debolina Dutta (who has been an Associate Professor at JGLS) joins Melbourne as only a Postdoctoral Fellow, and when Ashrita Prasad Kotha, who was an Associate Professor at JGLS even before her PhD joins NLSIU as Assistant Professor after her PhD, you know that your promotion policies are a joke and way below international as well as national standards.

I love all of these people I just mentioned. They are great teachers and exceptional scholars. But your promotions of them, like ALL of your promotions, follow some weird logic. Look at NLS or NUS, with their rigorous benchmarks. You are doing nobody a favour with subpar policies, only embarrassing yourself.

I recently heard of a story where an Associate Professor of JGLS wanted to go for a PhD to a foreign institution and their prospective supervisor would be an assistant professor of the university. Do you see how ridiculous this is? We have become a joke in most circles.

Regards,

An embarrassed alumni

This is ridiculous. You cannot correlate a CA with a horrific collision that no one could see coming. In no way could the admin have foreseen that refusing to re-schedule an exam (whose dates were announced well before Zelus) could cause the deaths of so many that are dear to us.

I understand that in grief, you are trying to find someone to blame. But no one is at fault here. This is a tragedy, plain and simple. It is not a result of mismanagement or your standard run-of-the-mill admin stubbornness.

There are a million decisions that led to this unfortunate event, and it is very easy to fall prey to this sort of thought. I implore you to remain focused on what's ahead and not what is done.

Regarding the memorial, an email was sent communicating that there was going to be a condolence address today, and the auditorium was packed with not just students but staff and faculty as well. Everyone knew the victims to some extent, and we have all been affected by it. Please do not let misdirected anger divide us in these trying times.

Do you know how much managing partner like CAM , SAM ,JSA , earns by managing partner I mean basically the owners of the firm like shardul shroff , Cyril shroff, zia modi , especially the founder of JSA it hasn't been discussed it and also partners like Ashwath rau , iqbal khan
