See I think you miss the point. The students at Christ are genuinely extremely brilliant, take it from someone who studies there, and gets insecure at how brilliant their peers are. They are self motivated and do not generally engage in any stupid activity. The point of problem here is that the teachers don't teach, or if they're absent we just sit like idiots in class staring at walls since we can't even open our laptops to do some more work. At such times when there's literally nothing happening in class we're still made to sit and waste precious time and all for what? Attendance.

Not to mention, the UGC mandate is 75%. The only reason for this 85 cut off to ever exist is that christ can squeeze out some more money from us poor students who end up not meeting the 85 criteria. They can just keep extra classes or assignments for those who don't meet the criteria, but they purposefully ensure fines are the route they take. Educate yourself properly please, the situation in Christ is not as simple as you're thinking. Don't blame the students, the students at Christ and genuinely very very dedicated individuals.

Can't comment on the team or the work culture, but have known Bandhu since college. He has not changed one bit in 30 years. Completely disarming, self-effacing, sensitive and thoughtful. Bumped into him in an airport just 3 weeks ago and he was the same realistic and decent guy he always was. He understands human foibles and I would imagine that is a great quality in a team leader. If he isn't over-delegating and is keeping an eye, I would imagine it's an excellent team.

Clearly shows you have never filled up a foreign law firm application anywhere. If you actually tried filling up the application forms of some law firms in England, they would ask you if you had achieved, or were on track to achieve, a "2:1" or an "upper second class" degree (which mean the same thing), and if you didn't, they would say "You do not meet our minimum requirements". Some firms even specify minimum grade entry requirements on their website. The process that happens for many students at English unis who achieve their TC offer while they are still at university is that the law firm tells them that their TC offer is conditional upon them achieving a certain result in the remainder of their law degree examinations (which would usually lead to the achievement of an upper second class or first class degree) and certain marks in the SQE. A similar process would apply to Indian law graduates who achieved training contract offers, who would be made to do the SQE and perhaps for some firms the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) after their vacation schemes.

Again, if you actually had a clew of what you were talking about, you would know that there was a scandal involving an SQE provider in which many candidates were mistakenly failed in the SQE, because of some sort of marking system error on multiple choice questions. Those among the impacted candidates who had training contract offer conditions imposed by firms who had either accepted them directly, or after assessing them through a vac scheme, still to fulfil had their TC offers withdrawn by their firms (I don't know exactly how the scandal panned out in the end re those TC offers, but I do know that compensation was offered and those failure records were corrected).

Please, therefore, do not propagate this ill-informed nonsense. Actually understand and read up on what you are talking about.

Says who? In the US, UK, Singapore, everywhere which is a developed economy only people with a fancy degree get doors opened. Does not matter what work experience you have. it is ridiculous to say that someone with a Columbia JD will have the same opportunities as a Brooklyn Law School JD with more work experience.

1, 2 and 3 are not mistakes at all.

2 you have to plan for.

5 is a mistake - should have focused more esp since u say u can't afford to take lit because it does not pay much.

None of your solutions are helpful.

Your best bet is to find a boutique that needs folks for corporate work, learn, upskill on the job and then look to work your way up - either at the boutique where you grow or by moving to traditionally tiered firms.

Contd. Pressed submit prematurely

3. Yes. Very. Especially those from India - lawyers from other countries have a sense of loyalty to their fellow nationals and help out, Indians hate other Indians and make it as tough as it possibly can - mostly stonewall.

4. Find employment then worry about salary and perks. Most find below market pay, the ones that are fortunate and connected can find market pay (all start at an A0 level).

Idk why your immature self after reading nonsense from threads dated 2021 is pretending like you know anything, we can all see your maturity here mate, idk what you get by spewing crap, If you were worth even a single paisa, you would have done a simple google search with the first thing searched " khaitan and co, linkedin, intern " you will see how many have done more than one.

Please learn to grow up and reduce spewing bs which is far from true you are not doing a school MUN here.

Valid points but there's absolutely no need to pull down or denigrate sports like Cricket or F1 to prove your argument. Subjectivity in enjoyment is the very basis for variety and I don't believe that anyone needs to be pull down any sport or discipline for that matter even if you don't enjoy it in a personal capacity.

Take it with your eyes closed - even if you choose to do the 3 year law course after this you will land up graduating later. NLS is a no brainer - professional course over random BA anyday. That is only if you are interested in studying law. Firms won't care about your age as long as they think you can do the job and it's not relevant for litigation unless you want to be a part of the judiciary. All things considered it's totally worth it because you become a part of a small elite group of individuals which you can't buy your way into.

You are wrong in assuming that nobody watches Indian football. Whenever ISL or the erstwhile I-League takes place, those enjoy a fair bit of footfall and support from the fans, including the club fanbase. The question is not really about feminism in this case. Feminism merely demands equality of treatment, which means that someone representing the country in the same sports gets paid equally by the State/body. If the amount of salary is directly related to the enjoyment that you or I may get out of the performance, then for every duck that a batsman scores, they should not be paid the match fees and the fees should instead be added to that of the batsman who scores a century in that match. Similarly, you may enjoy watching Pant play and not Pujara, that does not mean that the latter should not be paid the same match fee for playing the same match! The popularity will determine private sponsors and contract deals, not the way the State/body treats the person.

Initial round is very much like CLAT. I’d say practice your math for this (speed/time/distance, average, etc). Another thing that seemed difficult was the finishing the longgg verbal reasoning questions in time. I recommend practicing the same.

The timer is divided section-wise and the reference to context and legal reasoning sections are the easiest thing ever.

The second round is chosen area specific. It’s super simple. They’ll give you one hypo and 5 questions around the same. 20 mins to answer it. Super simple

Out of curiosity, does anyone know where did all NLSIU toppers (first rankers) land up in life? What did they do straight out of law school and where they are now? There must be some 30 odd people who make this list. Did they all end up going for an LLM? Are they in high places, doing well, or do such high grades not matter at all? It would be interesting to know how their lives shaped up after all this hard work to get into law school and then in law school. Thank you!

It mostly depends on the team. Like for us if some food was being distributed amongst the team, they'll share with you. Sometimes the partner would only bring extra packets and give, like prasad and all. However, if the team is going out as a whole for lunch or something then they might not ask you. Pretty Subjective.

Wrt firms like Khaitan and Trilegal, they'll provide you lunches. LKS doesn't have lunches but they have snacks and all which are available to all. I've been to these places so can tell you about them.
