I know I wouldn’t last day in litigation or a law firm because of my temperament. I’m not expecting academia to be completely rosy, but it’ll probably be better and more empathetic? I also like to read and research. I am introverted by nature.

Just to clarify, I don’t think I have a personality disorder or such. I do get hurt easily, but I overcome it after a couple of days, especially if I switch my mind off and play computer games or go to the gym, or hang out with friends. So, in my view it’s not chronic depression, just temporary depression and sadness. Just that I am perhaps more thin skinned than the average person.

As much as you are excited to know about their law school, let me break it to you dear student, their law school had very minimal contribution to where they are today. They are at the top because of (l) hard work- constant slogging and maintaining to be the best all these years at the top law firm; (2) sacrifices- all kinds, family weddings, foreign trips with friends, time to their own family.

Getting into a law firm like SAM and others is difficult, but even more difficult is to perform and be the best, year after year.

Not first hand exp, but it is possible to break into the M7 if you're from a T2 or T1 NLU. They do require 4 yrs min work ex to even apply; you can apply before that but you'd just be throwing away application money and time unless you've taken down a terrorist cell single handedly or something equally awe inspiring.

Show your intent in the meantime by doing courses for the same and trying to handle matters that related to IB (Cap marks, B&F, PE, Private client and so on). Some part hinges on your gmat score (in the new FE, try above 720, it is really tough now) and even more on your essay.

IB sounds good bahar se, but the working hours are even more insane than in our line of work, so make sure you actually have a passion for this. There are other fields like consulting (MBB, EY Parthenon, Deloitte and so on) that have similar hours but not as bad as IB.

I had a cousin who quit within a month from a renowned firm because he didn't want to subject himself to that for the rest of life. He's doing REALLY well abroad now

Not only that. He's messed up the lives of many PhD students during his tenure and all without any justification, communication or explanation. Students deserved better. Had anyone taken him and the institute to court, then he would have got yet another bloody nose. Fortunately for him and NLS, students are always loathe to litigate about their degrees, thinking about institutional repercussions.

No comparison.

BALLB at a top law school like Nalsar, NLS or even JGLS will beat a 5-year MBA hands down.

Legal profession and judiciary with the opportunity to rise to become Judges of HC/ SC is available only with LLB degree.

A lawyer can combine a law degree with management qualification and enter into corporate management.

As law students we do a lot of internships however what are the skills we are expected to learn at our internships and would ultimately help us in getting a job. Like the skills without which those internships would just be a certificate on your CV and that would get caught in the actual job interviews.

Even if he granted you a reference, it would be of wallpaper/decoration value, at most, to your application/profile. This is because this individual doesn't know your work, performance or work quality as well as those you worked with directly do. Therefore, best to ask the people you interacted with. A good application reviewer will care more about the content of the reference than where the person worked in the past.

So it’s not just Mumbai. Why is real estate in India so expensive? Honestly, I find Noida pretty crap compared to Gurgaon, yet still it’s so expensive to buy an apartment there!

Continuing my previous comment as I mistakenly pressed submit button.

SR- Also, her interview course was not very law firm centric. Coming to her mentorship sessions, I am someone who is focused on corp but SR tries to bring out of the box solutions and often gives examples from JAG, etc. which is not what I was looking for. So if you are not into something unconventional or not pursuing some alternate career, then I won't recommend her at all.

Difference between AJ and SR- AJ has experience in GC and my area is also GC so I found her suggestions better than that of SR. However, I feel SR is better when it comes to guidance pertaining to GD and alternate/ unconventional career choices. I also find AJ's services affordable but find SR's services very costly.

Hi guys, so basically I want to know which is the best choice between the options I have stated. Unfortunately, I didn't make the cutoff for CLC at DU, so I was wondering if it is worth it to take LC1/2 over Jindal, at which I have a 75% scholarship. If it helps, I am not looking to get into litigation, and am more likely to go down a corporate route at a big firm. Fees is not an issue, and my primary goal is to be employed straight after college. (side note: I am not from Delhi and do not know much Hindi)

Honest Reviews of AJ and SR from someone who has taken interview guidance and general mentorship from both.

AJ- She asks very generic CV based questions and basic questions during interviews which anyone having knowledge of law can ask, including 4th 5th year students. So I won't highly recommend her for interview related guidance but you can maybe avail her service for once. However, I was fully satisfied after availing her personalised mentorship session. Her suggestions were actually personalized depending on my situation and she addressed all my queries so if you are still in law school, you can avail her mentorship session as she can help you figure out your personalized course of action.

SR- I have been part of SR's interview course but did not find it useful at all. It was also very costly and she just handed me 3 recordings of pre-recorded sessions and 2 sessions with her.

I will say though, that his decision to do that entire NLAT thing during COVID was messed-up as hell, and I'm a fanboy of the first order. However, I do believe that his concept of thinking CLAT is a bullshit way to make admissions decisions is right; COVID wasn't the right time, though, and NLAT wasn't the right way, to start implementing changes.

No. ONGC Videsh employees are Government Employees of India parent company ONGC is employer.

Vigilance commission warned ONGC not to hire from campus to prevent the nepotism fraud and favouritism.

Have consistently help that it's illegal to do campus placement for permanent government job.

Then why conduct government exams if you can do back entry.

We should get these appointment cancelled.

How is Kian at Clifford Chance? I Googled for Kian and Clifford chance, but all I got is a web page leading to a lady named Sian. Has Kian anglicised his name and changed his gender? Else he cannot be at Clifford Chance.

1. Regarding the populist point: You might very well be right. But Trump is certainly good at demonising people - both immigrants and Americans who don't agree with him.

2. Regarding the question of black Americans who want more strict laws on immigration, there are a very small minority who feel envy towards socially mobile Indians. Perhaps, some of them feel that Indians had an advantage in a system stacked against them. Also, how many "working class black Americans" have you spoken to who want more strict immigration laws?

3. Perhaps you're just more willing than I am to see the good in people who clearly don't like folks with a skin tone like ours. Am I saying all of working class America is like that? Hell no! The vast majority of working class America (white, Black, Latino...) is made up of a bunch of pretty nice people. But there are bad apples among them, who are causing problems disproportionate in scale to their numbers/percentage.

4. In response to your other questions, could it be that those "uneducated illegal immigrants" you speak of might just be people who are running away from danger in their own countries? From gangs like MS13, who receive arms illegally, thanks to the insane system that allows arms manufacturers and the N.R.A. to have such a crazy amount of influence on U.S. gun laws?

Why do people keep on ridiculing SAM's Competition Team on the ground of nepotism?

They have the highest number of partners in competition teams across India. SAM religiously follows promotions based on years of experience (9 to make partners)

I don't understand why the team is criticized. Trilegal and AZB hardly promote anyone to partnerships in their competition teams.

You seem to be a dumb guy, as PSU employees are NOT GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES and none other than Supreme Court has ruled that.

Although you are correct that SC has ruled that PSU jobs should be based on competitive exams, which I think is a wrong ruling. A PIL should in fact be filed against this ruling, as PSUs should be treated as independent corporations.

Small addition. PSUs used to visit the top rank law schools (I know for sure they used to recruit very heavily from NLS and NALSAR) all the time before SC ruled that PSU can not directly recruit from NLU campus and they need to have some competitive exams for this. (Which in my opinion is a totally flawed ruling as PSUs are not government organizations they are supposed to be full time corporates. SC has itself ruled that PSU and autonomous government organization employees such as Sports Authority of India etc. are NOT government employees).

So off late PSU have used CLAT PG score for recruitments. I guess since ONGC Videsh works outside of India it may have found a loophole in the SC ruling and hence trying to recruit directly from GNLU. I believe this is a huge boost for NLUs. Someone should file a PIL in SC and restart on campus recruitment drive of PSUs.

The page for the pocket edition on the EBC website actually says “Constitution of India by Gopal Sankaranarayanan”. Did our man write the Constitution as well? NLSIU is truly great!

I do not think so. I’ve worked with those individuals, they were quite wasteful themselves. A lot of time was spent on fun and growing a negative atmosphere by talking behind back or blatant snitching around. They’re not bad people but be extremely mindful before choosing between your prospects. Also, how much would they pay their Associates anyway.
