NLUJ has only 120

Plus the proportion of placements still higher

Secondly, please back up this fAr sUpEriOr analysis?

NLUJ has much greater alumni network since it was established way earlier + Vacations schemes and Training Contracts are also better than NLUD

Please get out this bubble kid.

SAM:

Bonus is paid in two tranches: 80% in March, 20% in May.

Fixed + Variable / Bonus = Salary

3 times of Salary = Target (pro rata) this means if you achieve 2 times of salary, you'll get 50% of your bonus.

6 times of Salary = 200% Target (pro rata) method is the same as above.

Billing is dependent on team so much so it's impossible to guess an average.

PS: Currently, Trilegal pays the highest in fixed component across all practice areas. Bonus wise, JSA and SAM are regarded as preferable options.

Exposure/ team atmosphere shape you as a professional/ person in the long run so as per me, this should be prioritised even if there's a compromise on salary.

Depends on the office and team. Bombay corp is great. The partners are very good, offer flexibility, and in general it’s a good work environment with a growing practice . Bombay litigation is the opposite. It is best avoided. The partners are horrible, prone to abusing and yelling for no reason. None of them are good at what they do, the clients are random except one or two occasional ones. You will be fired without reason, unannounced salary cuts, no support staff. If you can avoid working here you should. Your learning will be minimum now that the clients have dried up but your mental health will be fried for sure.

Absolutely nonsense ranking when NIRF has consistently ranked NLUD higher than NUJS and the infra/faculty there is far superior. Also JGLS at 13 when their placements are so much better than those you have ranked above?

Why is the moderator allowing such nonsense rankings? Students will be misled!

Assuming that you already have a graduate degree, why not pursue a three-year LLB instead? There is the good, old DU (cheaper and relaxed), and the new programme at NLSIU (expensive and rigorous). NLSIU also offers financial assistance. Think about it. All the best and don't hesistate to ask any further question in reply to this comment.

Without an iota of doubt, join Tirthankar’s team.

He is 100% professional when it comes to work and a reasonable human outside work. Only word of caution is that join only if you are 200% sure that you want to work in banking finance practice. You will get exposure to array of financial transactions- ECBs, ODIs, real estate financing, project financing, acquisition financing, inter bank financing, NCD and CCD. Given the demand of practice, the hours can be overwhelming, but you will not have other BT except work related.

About the other team it is better if not spoken. You have ample content here and other threads about that team.

no need to talk about placements and all that? Why bro why not considering placements? You'll focus on self growth till your second year? After that what? Would you not want your self growth to culminate into a job? Have a broad vision. Go to HNLU, even if you have lack of resources it's a better choice it's free is a lot lot less than rgnul. Don't even consider cnlu if you are getting tier 2

Sure, if you'd like to feign ignorance from your ivory tower. Back when I wrote CLAT, my law school (one of the three mentioned above), while not exactly promising, was the best available to me per my rank. Not everyone has the privilege to drop a year or two to get into T-1 Law Schools + plus spend a small fortune on expensive coaching. As someone who has since cracked exams with ranks to get into T-1 schools for my masters, I really do understand the privilege required to brush shoulders with the brightest in the country and how many can ill afford the same.

At the end of the day, these law schools do provide you with a semi-respectable brand, and a semblance of a safety net. Also, let's not forget that a 1000ish rank in CLAT, while not exactly stellar, is not certainly inconsequential; it has been wrought by a certain amount of (hard) work put in by the candidate. Urge you to kindly check your privilege at the landing page, thanks.

The very concept of ideology (statist or laissez-faire) is meaningless in a country where a majority of the population, even today, continues to languish in near-famine conditions. Improve their lives, first. Then do your wordplay about which ideology you want to brand yourself with.

People, people! Please elaborate upon your conclusions. On a thread about job interviews, if you are choosing to comment then you should also be willing to share your experience of the interview. It helps everyone and also makes for better, more informed gossip the next time. I say this truly and sincerely.

I might consider bits actually because it's not as far and I've talked to a few seniors and since nobody has graduated completely considering the law school just started 2 years ago-how do u know the placements are bad? and are they that bad

also what do u mean amity is amity? I don't know much about it could u expand?

NMIMS is like on some random floor of mithibai so I don't really WANT to go there but im still giving the NLAT.

what about Jindal tho?

"In any case, if you’re studying at NLUD and can’t get placed, it’s your fault, not the Uni’s." Spoken like a true masochist. Anyway, just imagine how low a person's self-esteem has to be that they would rather defend a university where students regularly commit suicide than to even acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, it is slightly less than the utopia they have dreamed it to be.

The essential point here is that there is not a significant difference in fee between these institutions. Therefore, OP should not deny themselves the opportunity to study at the university of their first preference only on account of fee but should also explore other aspects. One of them is the local environment. In general, Bengaluru does have a more intellectual environment that Kolkata. Kolkata is a provincial backwater today while Bengaluru, despite the emergent nativism of a few, is still a fairly cosmopolitan place where OP will have greater opportunities to compete and improve themselves against others of their kind.

Please understand that you are responding here to a young student who has asked for your advice. When you say that life in a particular institution will be "hell for five years", then it is incumbent upon you to justify/explain/elaborate that remark. Don't play with a student's life just because you have your own deep-seated issues with a particular university. Do better next time.

I graduated from law school at 30 with no internships under my belt, no immediate or extended family in the legal profession, no connections or god fathers/mothers, yet I was able to make my way. Grit and real talent, not age, law school determine, petty politics determine whether you reach your goals. There will be a fair share of nay sayers, that’s what they are unhappy, unaccomplished, unheard of nay sayers. Have faith in yourself and follow your convictions. You will achieve your goals.

One cannot help but admire the decisive nature of the American discourse where there is always a victor and a loser. It seems like only yesterday that Judith Butler was all the rage. And now the robber barons have finally found their man in the White House to retaliate back.

It will be challenging but it would help if you do your law from a good institution, like LLB (Hons) at NLSIU where you can develop networks and start firing on all cylinders from day one. Law is a profession of relationships. This is not a negative comment on it since in law, your instrument is language itself and your adversary is a fellow human being whose job is to use that language in a better way than you. Knowing people who are good in using this language of law is essential. You will need to find them, work under/with them, and develop your own subject expertise. Having said that, what equally matters, along with your age, is how sure are you about your decision to do law. If you are in absolute certainty, then only proceed further. After all, one can only begin so many times in their lives. And yet, if one must, it is better to begin today than tomorrow. All the best, dear fellow.

NLSIU has (i) better faculty, (ii) more students whose first preference is NLSIU and, (iii) as an institution, is also headed in the right direction in terms of its long-term growth strategy. Just compare the amount of preparation that went into programmes like LLB (Hons) at NLSIU and the irregular way in which NALSAR conducts its MBA programme.

I hope OP reads this. If you can afford it, dear fellow, then please do not let money come in the way of receiving quality education in the company of like-minded individuals at the institution of your choice. NLSIU does provide financial assistance. Please see << https://www.nls.ac.in/information/students/financial-aid-for-students/ >>. Also see their financial aid policy at << https://www.nls.ac.in/information/students/financial-aid-for-students/financial-aid-policy/ >> whose point 6 states that, “[s]tudents whose gross family income is less than Rs. 8,00,000 per annum are eligible to apply for financial aid. The definition of ‘family income’ is the average gross family income for the last three financial years or the gross family income for the latest financial year, whichever is greater. For the determination of family income, family is considered as members of a family residing together which includes self, parents, sibling, spouse / partner of the student.”

You may also write to NLSIU if you have any further inquiries related to fee payment. Please explore all options before you decide. And you may also reply to this comment with any further query of your own. Would be glad to help as much as I can. All the best.

This comment seems like an advertisement written by someone at SAU. Also, to speak about “academic experience” without referring to how SAU administration dictates, by overriding departments, what topics can and cannot be researched on is itself an excellent measure of the intellectual dishonesty in this comment.

Before comparing SAU to NLSIU on the question of academic freedom, please provide a comparable event (with proof and not something you “heard”) at NLSIU just as I provided one for SAU. It is extremely irresponsible of you to drag down another institution (without evidence) here. Also, what happened in SAU was not about PhD submission but it was at the very stage of confirmation of research proposal which had already been accepted by the student’s department before SAU administration arbitrarily intervened. So I don't see the relevance of you talking about PhD submission in NLSIU and for which you have not even provided any proof.

<< https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/sau-woman-student-manhandled-maha-shivratri-non-veg-food-9859842/ >> Is this also a “one-off” case or maybe, just maybe, part of a broader pattern? SAU practically resembles a university in UP/Bihar during 1990s where lawlessness (of both administration and students) was the only law. Anyone who ignores or understates the same does so at their own peril. The fact of the matter is, SAU is a place very far from civilised discourse and where the only argument that succeeds is that of violence and coercion.

The process will not take long. I have used it in the recent past. You should get a response to your complaint within 30 days and the first appeal will also take the same amount of time. UGC itself receives complaints against HEIs through CPGRAMS. And, of course, as a lawyer you know there are the courts when all else fails. Hopefully that kind of escalation may not be necessary.

It is not that IITs don’t accept UGC-NET score. They just do not use it to shortlist you. But they do consider the fact that you possess JRF. Essentially, there are two categories of applicants: one, who seek institute fellowship, and two, who already have an external fellowship (like JRF). Naturally, there are more vacancies for external than there are for institute fellowship. Also, departments in IITs have autonomy in shortlisting applicants to the next stage. Your application is most likely to be shortlisted on the basis of your research proposal and followed by an online interview. So you do not have to worry about sitting for another examination.

In terms of academics, yes. Forces you to take acads seriously and is by far the most rigorous. But in terms of opportunities, nalsar is at par.

But, I saw that ppl from nls got jobs with wayyy fewer internships than ppl from nalsar, idk if you would count that as an advantage.
