What’s wrong in what he said? It’s totally true that your aspiration once you join a T1 firm is to mix with high-class society. He is bluntly and honestly stating the truth, instead of hiding it. All the armchair Marxists on LI are hypocrites, because they will eventually all join law firms and seek such a life.

Just because language evolves doesn't mean it should turn into this crap. Having problems with fullstops ? Really !? What's next commas or questions marks ???? Stupid flash boating generation. Instead of being vocal about the real issues you guys are diluting your generation to literally a meme generation that cares only about appearances and not actual work done. Cry me a river bitch. 😭

NLS increases domicile seats for a mere 7 acres of leased land; it now offers a regular BA degree. NLIU reduces intake. A private university joins the consortium—waah re NLUs. All are struggling and desperate manifested in various ways. The list is not even complete.

NFSU gets ₹2254 crores in funding, gets ~50 acres of land in each of its campuses, and advertises to hire 270 permanent faculty (40 Professors, 80 Associate Professors, and 150+ Assistant Professors) in one go.

See the trend.

Bring on the "down votes " or whatever.

Here's the actual picture.

Clerkage is charged at the time of filing. The payment is made directly to the clerk. It includes everything from mere tying of the matter, to removal of objections. Getting pages typed, if illegible/ handwritten. Getting papers from the department- this includes HAVING to take 'care' of the department peons. Imagine if your stay is running out, matter is due to be listed, but suddenly your papers are not traceable. The clerkage will look like a small amount on closer inspection.

Matters are dismissed for non-removal. If some persons are finding it obnoxious to pay clerkage fees, just consider the restoration expenses. This is a whole fresh application for which your Advocate, whether the same person, or a new one, will charge you afresh. Also yes, again pay clerkage. No clerk is going to work for free.

A good number of filing clerks themselves work WITH (important word, 'with', not FOR) numerous Advocates.

Clerkage fees are NOT junior's fees. These are charges paid to a separate individual who is needed to do almost everything possible to ensure your matter reaches the court, for listing, at least.

No. As a radical feminist - no one is hiding their head in the sand. We just recognise that one instance where the law was allegedly misused based on the suicide note of one man who was clearly emotionally disturbed is not a good reason to do away with safeguarding for women across the land. Even female bjp mps agree with us. These aren’t really radical ideas when one considers the state of gendered violence in this country. You’re just in a bubble.

There is an environment where radical leftist ideology is not often challenged. Right wing and even centrist students do feel silenced to some extent. But honestly it’ll be fine. Just be careful in choosing elective courses and mind your own business. It would be folly to not go because other students and faculty have different political views than you do. That will be the case for most elite institutions.

guys please share the current situation in NUJS , really confused between NUJS , NLUJ , GNLU

Apparently the GIFT city gives an advantage to GNLU and it is bound to grow in coming years for sure

NLUJ on the other hand it's own perks (moots and other competitions along with single rooms are definitely a perk apart from the huge campus) but have heard it is just too hectic and in past some years have not been so good and idk where the new VC is going to take it , but the it definitely has another slight difference being in Jodhpur as Kolkata and Gandhinagar are huge cities and the mess system is also costly

Regarding NUJS (considering it is in top 3) a good alumni base but not so sure about other things but have heard the hostels are going to be a headache especially for girls

so can you people please offer some guidance , I have a decent rank that can ensure me admission into any of them so I have to keep the NLU on 3 in my preference which I want

Drop- absolute no.

Tranfer to SLSP- check if that's possible. Although I don't think it is

If you can afford to, I'd suggest NLUJ through NRI. I am not sure about the fees, it's probably about 35L, but is definitely cheaper than NUJS and GNLU NRI. It does make sense to go there, since your chances of getting placed are higher. You already are in a law school and know a bit of law, so you'd start to get decent grades from the beginning, where most students mess up. Your rank stays good, you get placed, you earn well. The chances of these happening in NLUJ are much higher than any of the other options.

NLUO is still fine. But Shimla, Prayagraj and all are an absolute no. Waste of both your time and money. Better to stay at SLSN and word hard and intern continuously than to go to one of these and waste a year of yours and end up where you already are

NUJS nri quota is very possible for you. IMO, you should come here if you can afford it. It hurts your pocket initially but you'd realise the benefits after 5 years. Although even if you do end up with a job, it'd take you 2.5-3 years of work to earn as much as you'd have spent on your fees, as compared to NLUO where if you do managed to get placed, it's less than a year. But again, getting placed in NLUO is tough, only about 10% of the batch manages to.

Think of your finances and make the choice. Again, if money isn't a big deal NUJS it'd be. And I don't see the confusion about Jindal. If you can afford to pay that much, should NUJS NRI be an obvious choice?

A certain SA who has moved from surf ki dukan to a bigger set up along with her partner. Lady knows nothing in law but pretends to be the next arb and com lit queen. At least 10 associates have left the team in a year because of the lady in question. Her only claim to fame is her proximity to the equity partner who is happy with her since she's a cheap resource. However, working with her is a nightmare for most associate for many reasons, including unclear instructions and a general lack of guidance.

Sit down buddy - take a look around you, see and observe what’s happening. It’s capital markets era and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. Compare your bonus with folks from cm teams across t1s. See where t1 firms are taking their Cm teams for retreats and then see where they are taking random so called high billing gc teams.

Capital markets is here to stay, winter can come n go.

I really appreciate your absent mindedness that you don't even know it was CLAT 2025. Irrespective of your rank, I request you to stay from CNLU. There are many low rankers who did better later in their life. If you have potential, then you can achieve what you aspire to. There are many losers who keeps flexing the banner of their rank but did nothing through out their college tenure. They have nothing to justify their lose except for their rank. I suggest you to stay away from those people otherwise they will inculcate sense of inferiority in you.

Hi OP, firstly congratulations on getting your rank and being able to pick between NALSAR and NLS.

I have graduated from University more than half a decade back so I would advise taking my opinion with a more than a pinch of salt, as I can’t be specific as you’d like me to be.

In all honesty, placements should not be an issue in either of the Universities - unless you absolutely squander your days, failing subjects and not meeting attendance requirements or have just horrible bad luck. The former is in your control, the latter is not, but neither affect choosing between the two universities. Also, my pointers below are not in isolation, they are compared to other NLUs.

My experience comes from friends across law school, some work on University policies and suggestions which required me and some college mates to look at what was happening at other Unis, circa 2018-2019.

NALSAR is less of a pressure cooker compared to NLS due to the semester / trimester system (at least when I was at Uni). Admin is very good compared to other Universities but do not expect “world class” and generally, reasonable with students. The academic structure used to be exceptionally good, I’ve had some time at other “Global” and foreign universities, but the setup was very clear and student-friendly. It was significantly better during the Faizan-Dhanda time, but I’ve heard standards have taken a drop but a lot of the older staff are still there, and they are not rude with students unless you push their buttons. Faculty was good, but could be better - but compared to other NLUs, it is much better. Only perhaps NLUD and Jindal are better than NALSAR, which was also there during my time.

But what NLS really has going for it - and I always felt that was the case is that the alumni is simply uncatchable in terms of quality. NALSAR has some truly exceptional alumni, people who I look up to on a daily basis but compared to NLS, other Universities pale in comparison. But this only marginally more useful significantly deeper into your career, not at the start perhaps.

You should be happy in both Unis, and no need to be obsessed with placements. It’s not in your hands as much as you think. You can be rank 1 but the market might be horrible and you might have interned in the wrong places (unbeknownst to you). Nor you, nor I, nor the various managing partners of law firms can comment on what the market will be like 5 years down the line but both Universities will put you in a good starting position.

Make friends, go out, find a lover, learn some stuff in class and also on your own time, enjoy yourself, watch TV shows, read books, invest in your fitness, do some fun extra curricular activities without thinking what effect it will have in your CV. College is a great time and don’t waste it thinking about jobs before you even start! All the best for your future!

guys, technically speaking i cannot pay uni fee of 4.5 lakh every year for nls, will sbi-scholar loan help me out and will nls really provide a sustainable financial aid before may 24th, 2025 and reduce it to 1.5 lakh yearly which is also hardship but could be manageable? seniors your opinions.

NLIU started well in 97/98 along with NALSAR.

Initial batches were excellent, then came:

Hello everyone,

Could you please guide me on what to study for a job interview with a PE/VC team at a Tier 2 firm? I am currently in my final semester and don’t have much knowledge apart from the small PE/VC tasks I handled during my internships. I would greatly appreciate any advice or recommendations you can provide.

Greetings. I've cleared CLAT 2025 and there is a fairly good chance I'll end up at NALSAR. I'm very concerned about things I'm reading on the internet, including but not limited to, the "NALSAR in shambles" thread I just read. I'm a person with a right-wing disposition, which is why the whole left-wing badge concerns me heavily.

Can any students in NALSAR tell me how students from north India end up at the institution? Is there something I should know before I go to NALSAR?

Am told stonks give the best return but am wary because there is risk as well and it seems everyone is taking advice from influencers. How reliable are they?

On the other hand, Feku and Tax Tai are returning us to the crony socialist days of Nehru and Indira, so you need to maximise your return as much as possible…

Consulting is way better than corporate law, not initially (it is a lot more travel but chill weekends, plus you have a lot of visibility on the volume of work you will be doing so you can plan things) plus it gives you more opportunities to switch.

Most corporates still don't pay in-house well, but you would be surprised how many ex Mckinsey/BCG folks you will see at big C positions and how much they are making.

In law as you become more senior the possible options you can switch to will always remain in single digits if not lower (You can switch from AZB to Trilegal to SAM, but may not go to CAM etc.), it gets even more tricky when you are partner etc. Pre SA it is very easy to switch Post SA it becomes very tricky.

An MBA is a lot more portable than law, and the ceiling is much higher than corp lawyers. While the power law operates and some partners will rake in a lot, but you can also do that if you join PE/IB .

First rule - don't date or sleep with anyone in the college, if you are not out. If you are out, make sure the other person is also out. Then if you are lucky you can even have a relationship. This means also don't use Grindr in the college campus.

To find ppl outside, there are many other apps like Blued, PR etc. Obviously dating pool these days is terrible no matter your sexuality. But sometimes it will click.

Second rule - outside college, don't hook up with any much older person, be careful as there are creeps who prey on college kids and will abuse you especially if you are not out. One of my friends (met after I came out) was raped during his college days by an older man from Grindr.

He's scamming you. All this nonsense prevails in delhi and Bombay. I've seen third class lawyers from amity who are unable to even plead properly in court demand lakhs in fees. Delhi lawyers are the most untrustworthy kind you'll ever meet. They even demand 50% of settlement amount in divorce and medical negligence cases. I was a junior to a big time senior at Delhi and but he didn't scammed clients like this. Clerks at his chamber used to charge decent sum for filing on their own. It was clear that the clients had to pay 3.3 lakh per appearance and that's it, no more futher charges. I would advise you to confront him about it.

I've worked with multiple people who left her team — all brilliant people who were pushed to the brink and just had to get out of there under any circumstances.

Best avoided unless you're really desperate for a T1. On the brighter side, if and when you shift from this team, noone will really ask why you're shifting - makes for an easier interview lol.

I know this guy only because I saw a clip of him singing a song with Taylor Swift during a live performance. I understand that the Delhi concert is over and Mumbai in today, but Bengaluru (where I am live) is tomorrow and tickets are still available. Is it worth it? Like, how are tickets still available for sale if he's so good?? Coldplay sold out in a few minutes. Dua Lipa also.

The salty comments are from those who have a problem with "Trump" rather than "Tower", because of their political ideology. Because in every way this is a fabulous residential address at a good price and a better deal than overhype DLF Camellias, Dahlias etc --- and BTW do Google for Robert Vadra and DLF, my lovelies 🫠

Apps are pretty much the only way for folks like us. It can take a lot of sifting and sorting (even more so than for straight people), but with patience and a little restraint you can find someone worth your time and love. I'm dating a lovely man I found on an app and I wish everyone finds the same happiness that I did.

Hi I got a AIR 1902 in CLAT 2025 UG and I am currently admitted to SLS Noida completed 1st sem but skipped the sem exams, I have a few questions....

1) Should I pick NLUs like Sonipat, Shimla, Silvassa, Odisha, Prayagraj, Goa at my General rank over SLS Noida?

2) If I take admission through NRI Sponsored in GNLU or NLUJ... if I work hard for 5 years can I get placement?

3) Or should I stay in Symbiosis and also last year I also got SLS Pune in first list do. have an option for transfer?

4) Any alternate options...

Thank you

Lots of theories floating around in Bengal about why the SC hasn't done much, but Chandrachud ji got angry when this was mentioned in the SC and said it's "canteen gossip"

I have got an All India Rank of 1902 in CLAT 2025 UG planned to do well in AILET but 325 rank and no scope for general at that rank, I want to get guidance on few of the options that I have, For more context I am already admitted to Symbiosis Law School Noida, but skipped the semester exams:

1) I can get admission in NLUs like Odisha, Shimla, Sonepat, Prayagraj or Goa should I choose them over Symbiosis Noida through counselling or vacancies.

2) Take admission in GNLU or NLUJ through NRI Sponsored - the fees is hefty so if I work hard for 5 years can I get placed there?

3) Stay in symbiosis... last year I also had got Pune in first list is there any chance for transfer?

4) 3rd drop for CLAT?

And most do take it. The point being they have to grind thrice as hard to get the same ppo and which is fair because yall grind pre college to crack clat.. there is just so much nuance that even having this debate is useless. Yall talk about Nani Ambedkar jehmalani but forget that even Nishith desai shroffs etc are from glc too and even at that time the college was crap. Every year yall think glc is dead there is a influx of glc grads who have worked 2-3years at a stretch in the same team i.e. literally contributing more than an A0. There's just no way to beat brute hardwork. We really wish the things were different and we had good teachers too but it ain't out fault.

Legal practice is very different from what law school is and are extremely unrelated.

“He seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation, and if I can help him do that, I’m going to help him,” Bezos said. Bezos set off political controversy in late October when he decided to end The Post’s recent tradition of endorsing a presidential candidate, despite the paper having drafted an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. He later wrote in an op-ed for The Post that he did so to improve trust with readers, not to curry favor with Trump. In addition to the $1 million donation, which a source close to Bezos said he is making through Amazon and was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, the company will also stream the Jan. 20 inauguration on its Prime Video service as an in-kind donation.

Means Big Tech serves whoever is in power, and whoever is in power wants Big Tech to serve them. Now WaPo will fire their left-wing reporters and Meta will not censor RW speech.

Is it just me or has everyone else also observed that there is practically no congruence between the toppers of CLAT and AILET this time. The exams seem to be testing for different things in a different way. Unsure as to which model is getting the better students I suppose we will have to see the batches in action for a few years to conclusively decide. It is rather absurd. Cut offs in AILET this time will be even lower than last time plausibly which was already the lowest ever (70) and I don’t think there’s anyone in the CLAT top-10 that has even managed to crack AILET. Pretty funny

I had an interview with a so-called well-known firm but to my surprise, the interview was taken by a Partner who doesn’t even practice in the area for which he interviewed me. What’s the point of a partner interviewing candidates who aren’t even gonna be in his team/practice area. It’s not like they are building that practice area or don’t have other partners who actually practice in that area so I’m left a bit confused.

Is this a usual thing?
