A hearing took place on 24 July, presided by Justice Sanjiv Narula. Liang's counsel sought 4 weeks time to file a rejoinder to the counter-affidavit field by the survivor. The next hearing was pushed to 5 December.

Current status: 5 years and 4 months have passed since the filing of the case. 15 hearings have taken place. We are still at the stage of filing submissions and counter-submissions.

Amazing that you find Gsanks having blamed Modi when there is NOTHING about Modi or Government in this. Only about a suspended associations boss travelling to Paris on public money. Contrary to what you try to project, he has appeared for lots of temple cases and anti caste based reservation matters which perfectly aligns with BJP. Surprisingly many of the comments below just parroted the Anti Modi view without even watching the show.

I do agree that the new faculties work hard but ultimately they are not good. It's absolutely not fair for a section to be taught by Somu while the other section is being taught by someone who does not understand the subject well.

I don't want to name the profs that are absolute shit. At least 1 prof that you have mentioned is hated by the majority of the students as well.

Wow. This is very mature of the students. And the VC isn't allowing classes to be rescheduled even on recruitment date? FFS, this is why one should actually get VCs who actually have any idea about how the real world works and not those who coast through life on their godfather 's coattails. This guy is fine with breaking rules when he's the beneficiary, but not when student interests require him to be flexible.

Median salary is not 20 LPA. It is a shame that students or admin from NLSIU are resorting to such blatant lies for PR's sake. I dare you to reveal the salaries offered by the recruiters and prove the median. Such a great place like NLS doesn't need to resort to such cheap tactics to promote itself. Shame on you!

I think it goes beyond the ‘mundane’ problems too. The ▮▮▮ we have is such a ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮. Students have complained against ▮▮▮ multiple times for victim blaming, saying the most terrible stuff about any student going through mental health problems, and threatening to call over parents/rusticate students from University if they ask for any help or resources. Yet not only nothing has happened against ▮▮▮, Sudhir made ▮▮▮ the first point of contact for anyone having any mental health trouble in his new policy!! (Which is such a shit show) It's beyond admin stuff. He truly, truly does not care about kids here at all. Maybe the overall reputation of the institution yes, but the students who make it? No care.

Hi everyone, had a query regarding the academic referee requirements for an LLM. I have been a research assistant to a few professors in law school, but these professors are not faculty in my college (in any capacity). Can I still use them as an academic referee, or does it have to be someone from the same institutional affiliation as my college?

Many NLUO grads I've spoken to about their college life have been miserable - because of the lack of facilities, lack of freedom, and lack of support from the admin. Good placements for a lower-tier NLU though.

RGNUL's placement stats are a mystery, but students seem to be doing well too as per their placement cell's linkedin. They are also chuffed about their campus and infra.

Choosing a college where you are going to stay for 5 years is not just a career decision, it's a life decision. Don't go by metrics that other people push

As you know, CLAT coaching centres across India pay NLU alumni to give talks to school kids on law as a career. I got an offer to visit one such coaching centre, to speak at a school, and I accepted. 😆

My talk was meant for the class 10/11/12 students, but these kids had some last-minute issue so instead I spoke with class 8/9 students — proper Gen Alpha! 🥲

Here are the questions I was asked:

1. “ How many NLU grads get 1 cr packages?” (I had to burst their bubble)

2. “What percentage of NLU grads get jobs in New York and London?” (also had to burst their bubble)

3. “I want to study at Harvard Law School. What’s the process?” (explained JD versus LLM)

4. “How do NLUs support decolonisation”? (I asked the student if she knew what the word means and she said it means “like supporting freedom for Palestine and Ukraine and all”— so I just gave a bland answer about international law student societies and journals)

5. “How do NLUs support queer and pansexual students?” (I didn’t know what “pansexual” means, so I gave a generic answer that all sexualities are welcomed and supported).

6. “Can a NLU grad practice law in Korea?” (I asked her why she was interested in Korea: she said she liked KDramas on law and wanted to live and work in Korea)

😊😊😊😊

Hi folx,

I am graduating from a T1-NLU next year. I have been offered the following options - Trilegal (Projects), CAM (M&A) and AZB. CAM/AZB are Bombay, and Trilegal said they could be flexible with location (I'm from a non-metro city). I want to do an LLM in 2-3 years (US ideally). Which of these would be ideal to accept? My parents are upper-middle class, so I won't be asking them to subsidise my lifestyle anymore.

We want to get him under control in certain aspects, none of this absolves him of the things he has pulled (which I'll refrain from mentioning for now, but students aren't idiots who wake up and decide to resign en masse)

Some of those NLU alum you mention are terrible. 0 experience, we've got situations where you have an extremely experienced prof who teaches one section, and a professor who graduated 2 years ago teaching another section. The disparities are too big to simply say different teaching methods.

I don't think you understand why students are unhappy if you think it is about grade inflation. That may be a concern for a few students, but generalising the entire student body's concerns to something that is indefensible. Harping the same lines over and over does not justify the nonsense he pulls on a regular basis

The protests do not entail skipping classes. There is no question of losing attendance. I agree that he never cared about student activities, but journal chiefs have resigned, MCS isn't holding any offerings for the foreseeable future. It will be hard for him to coordinate anything at all with the student body now, atleast we hope it will be. Plus, the admin has been burdened much more now, all the complaints go straight to them without a student intermediary attempting to fix any issue. Anything that would negatively affect students has been avoided to the extent that is possible.

The point is to show cohesion and strength as the student body, which is unprecedented. So far, student body was very disorganised and most people simply accepted that the college was the way it was. If not for anything, we know for a fact that the Messiah cares about his image and it wouldn't reflect well if something unprecedented like this were to happen. (He is particularly sensitive to stuff like this).

Outsiders now know that the student body is incredibly unhappy with him, but if he ignores this for too long, well, it is only a matter of time before someone answers the questions asking why exactly the student body is unhappy. Most of our reasons are mundane, yes, but show how he is unreasonable. But some of it is sensitive, and personal to some students, and shows how the admin stoops very low sometimes. None of it will paint him in a positive light for sure.

Was the foreign country a friendly one or inimical? If friendly, this sort of thing is regular - officials build relationships. We also do it. Treason cannot be committed with a friendly country.

If inimical, then it is serious. But Mr Dehadrai seems to be keeping its cards close to his chest.

Ek Rhodes scholar nhe hain aur parameters check kara rhe hain. Also, GNLU has a way better campus life than NLUJ and there is literally a metro station just outside college unlike NLUJ which is in midst of nowhere. Mooting record ka aachar daloge, when firms barely care about mooting record?

Well, multiple but just to give you a sense of things:

Context:

For anything and everything, student reps have been tossed from one office to another. For example, even for getting one day's extension because there was a wifi blackout on campus, student reps had to first go to the IT dept, Academic Admin Dept, UG Chair, Programme Chair, Director of Campus and Residential Life, Registrar, and ultimately the request was turned down.

Similarly, people in charge do not have any power at all, the Supreme Leader can cancel arbitrarily. For example, Saurabh Bhattacharya (UG Chair) promised to get classes that are clashing with day Z rescheduled to next week for the current 5th year and 3rd year of 3-year LLB. However, he could not do it because Sudhir did not agree.

We propose that every office should have proper jurisdiction and should have real power, they should not have to consult the VC before allowing a student to go to the washroom. Only in exceptional circumstances should the VC step in and not for regular internal events. Or, if he can't delegate power then he should meet student reps. Presently, you need to beg for a month for getting a single meeting with him. Basically, if you go to the DCRL/UG Chair for a problem, they will most certainly say that they will have to consult the VC. This should not happen and if it has to happen then the one having the problem should be allowed to meet him in person and discuss the problems.

This is just one of the demands. I provided the context for better understanding.

The answer is one. You can send one follow up mail just in case your initial mail was missed. A follow up mail is never missed so after you have sent one you need to assume that your application was considered and rejected. No one ever changes their mind because of a follow up mail.

For those, who are saying she's overweight and her fault:

100G. is nothing, and that too after winning it became an issue.

First put yourself in her situation, where after facing so much cruelty by this brain dead govt. ( check Delhi HC judgment on Brijbhushan), and the pressure a female wrestler go through after this much criticism where she herself is not at fault.

Moreover, this was her last match, and making getting only 60kg for a female body at this age is not easy. Are you serious 100G????

Itna to kapdo me hota hoga.

A) clat ranks are not correlated at all with academic success at a decent tier-1

B) even if we go by clat ranks, there is a minimal difference as the folks belonging to Rajasthan/extreme northern parts only opt for Nluj. In fact, last year, couple of people opted for nliu from Nluj and let’s not even talk about merit lists, cause both the colleges even have people ranking 170-180ish, so the difference is negligible. And no one really cares about ABS that much, cause it’s anyway pretty unpredictable, so for people staying up north. Nluj will at least give them homely comfort.

3. My point still stands, if any college comes close in terms of rigour to NLS, it’s nliu. Nluj folks get grade inflation plus there are no midterms.

This is a joke. As of now the effects of the increased batch size has not kicked in.

As of now 77 kids have sat for placements. NLS is planning to expand to 500 kids. As bad as jindal law school.

Let's see how placement goes after 5 years because of this massive batch size. NLS being an elite law school - that phase has gone. It's the jindal of NLU's.

The ultimate effect has not been achieved!

Before Sudhir, the batch was of 80 students and there were less number of good faculties. Now the batch size has increased 6-7times while the number of good faculties have increased by 2-3times. You can mention 10 good faculties against 2 earlier but the number of students who have access to good faculties has reduced! For example, earlier, a student getting in NLS was sure that they will get Somu for Economics, Rahul Singh for Corp I and II, Sarasu for Fam Law I and II. Now, some people will never get the chance to sit in their class for a single hour. Most of the hirings are young foreign LLM grads with no teaching experience. For one SidChu, there are 10 new faculties who reads the ppt.

What has the money pouring in from private donors done?

Earlier, NLS used to fund moot and ADR competitions, today, forget about funding from the University, and students are not even allowed to reach out to alumni for sponsorship! How can a VC of a public University have the guts to say "I don't care if students drop out of moots for lack of money." How can someone say, "I don't care about your job" when a job is a way to economic independence and the ultimate goal for a lot of students coming off middle-class backgrounds? Can we not expect the VC to at least have a minimum bit of empathy?

The academic standard has actually reduced in his tenure, the passing criteria have become easier, and there is moderation that makes sure that your marks increase if a teacher has been strict. Look at the number of year losses during Venkat Rao's time and now. The only thing that he has done is strictly implement the attendance requirement and has shown zero empathy toward genuine student needs.

I can go on and on but let's stop here.

I think the root cause of this is a class war: Sudhir’s elitist worldview versus the students’ more mundane, ground-level needs. I refer also to Sudhir’s interview in Bar and Bench soon after taking charge, where he expressed surprise at how NLSIU now has a lot of students from small towns and non-elite backgrounds, in comparison to when he was a student. That may seem like an innocuous comment, but in my view it shows the underlying tension.

I’m 100% with Sudhir. Though I concede that Sudhir is arrogant and stubborn (the India Today conclave video epitomising this) let’s also remember:

- He has done a brilliant job in weeding out mediocre TLC faculty and hiring NLU alumni with good qualifications, even getting people to leave Jindal despite offering them half the salary. In his faculty hiring, he has not shown regional nepotism and hired only people from the South, which previous VCs were guilty of

-He is getting funding from private donors and alumni

- He has revamped the website and improved PR through social media: this is important in today’s day and age

- QS rankings

- He is not corrupt

Remove him and you go back to the old cabal of TLC VCs.

The fact is that many of the students are unhappy because Sudhir has stopped grade inflation and is imposing high standards in academics.

We, the Recruitment Coordination Committee of the National Law School of India University, Batch of 2025, B.A., LL.B. (Hons.), are happy to announce that we have successfully achieved placing 56 students of our batch already in top Indian and international law firms after the first leg of this year's placement drive, with a whopping median salary of 20 LPA. This incredible feat is achieved despite disruptive market conditions discouraging campus placements across streams, being the first batch of the Campus Expansion Policy at NLSIU, thereby resulting in increased batch sizes and the introduction of a new cohort in the form of LL.B. (Hons.). We thank all the firms which trusted the capabilities of our students and made them a part of their esteemed organisations.

The RCC also acknowledges the guidance and support from Professor Rahul Singh of NLSIU.

The RCC is a student-run body responsible for securing internships, facilitating placements, and organising the placement drive for students at the National Law School of India University, Bangalore (NLSIU). The 5-year B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) is the flagship course of India's top-ranked law school - NLSIU, Bengaluru - with a prolific history of producing industry-leading alumni.

Thought?

Guys, Let's not settle for anything less than our demands! Don't accept the student-faculty team bait under any circumstances. Nothing tangible ever came out of those student-faculty bodies. If he does not accept our demands, we go for Sit-in protests.

More than 130 student reps resigned. Mind you, most of them are elected and can probably bring in a few more people with them in case things escalate.

Revolution 2024!

It would take a brute majority supporting Rahul Gandhi and a toothless opposition in the BJP (that fails to prevail on the President of India the way Subramanium Swamy did, when in opposition) for such an illegality (ie a RaGa prime ministership) to go unchecked - https://shorturl.at/rG9yu

Messiah honestly doesn't care about these things. It's been his way or highway, both for the staff as well as students. He went to the extent of dismissing people who were hired without due process- you're working for 20 years and suddenly you're a temporary employee. These people challenged and got a favourable order from HC but he challenged it again before division bench.

So, ultimately, Messiah doesn't give 2 hoota about mortal.plane.

No need to overreact. Mohit's resignation was ▮▮▮ offset by bringing in a younger lawyer—a heavy hitter from Indus—who▮▮▮ arrived with a substantial client base and a team of capable associates. I'm confident they will not only carry their weight but also significantly enhance S&R's already top-tier practice. ▮▮▮. Stop the theatrics about S&R’s existence being threatened. If you truly understood this firm, you'd know better….

Clearly, for you proof-reading is "just basic reading of the document", but that is not what proof-reading is.
