Hi, I am an A0 in a law firm, currently on secondment. I have done close tto 10-15 certifications and know that LLM would help close to zero in my career. I was pursuing CS but dropped it as i felt it was too tough and focues on my law career. However, I am feeling that it is coming back to bite me as plain law degree is not helping me substantially in my profile. Rest other educations (GIP, MBA) are very expensive and deviating from the legal field.CS is both inexpeince and effective but very hard to crack, doing it simultaneously with law.

As there any other such certifications like CS which can help me boost my career prospects. Thank for the help.

In 2019, nalsar had 8 offers from foreign firms while nls had done. Does this mean that nalsar is better than nls?

You can't compare Australia (NLUD) to Afghanistan (NLUO). Nluo can spew more venom because of its larger batch size but it doesn't change the fact that NLUD is miles ahead of it.

Just be very well-versed in whatever is written in your CV - go in-depth on all questions mentioned conceptually and exhaust all possible questions. It’s extremely important that you know the concept and not just what you did, as you might be asked questions which would need you to apply the concept to a situation to come to the answer.

Additionally, if you’re sitting for corp - definitely be well-versed with company law, contract and TPA basics - stuff like M&A, indemnity guarantee difference etc.

I live 5 mins away from the campus, it's in Lokhandwala not versova. Students are gonna have a lot of fun Bec there are very good cafes right in front of the campus and the famous lokhandwala market is just 5 mins away but the problem is it's not a strategic location as any law firm is atleast an hour away. Also I can see the Construction from my window and it hasn't really started yet, they are just clearing away the sand to make a road for the entrance rn

Before claiming anything a lie, kindly research first.

What would you rather? Marry someone from the same profession OR someone with better work-life balance?

Ik it comes down how the person actually is. But that's not what I asked. Ik that.

Is it true that T1 lawyers are stressed out that it's common to resort to meds? How much does that affect the relationship?

Yes. No social media validation, no media addiction, no extreme competition, plenty of work opportunities, job without huge CVs or multiple internship, on the job training, decent pay and the simple fact that education meant work and decent life. Today even after PhDs, masters, gold medals, CVs, people are being paid in pennies.

Isn't this ▮▮▮?

Public Sector Undertakings for permanent jobs have to mandatorily hire through a competetive exam. It's patently illegal what ONGC is doing. Time to file a writ petition against this.

You can't Dole out permanent government job via campus placements.

Privates law firms, companies can hire however whomever they want. Government hiring has to follow protocols. A Government PSU for a permanent job has to give equal opportunity and they can't discriminate on basis of college.

NLU Delhi in the past did the same - they preferred Foreign LLM grads as faculty and authorities immidiately shut down the hiring.

Earlier SEBI used to hire via campus. Court and Government had to step in to stop the nonsense.

Thanks for the information. Will start legal action soon.

Nluo kids are actually working damn hard. I see them toiling harder than my own college's juniors. So ya, though I am an outsider, but would really appreciate their efforts.

Ps: this is wrt to the internship tasks that I have allocated them. Am not very aware of their merit in moots.

So brave that they can't even take exams properly enough to get good marks and justify the spending of their parents' money. If they are so concerned, would each one of them be willing to exchange themselves for an Israeli hostage? We could do with a reduction of idiots this country has to accommodate, for a while at least!

I'm not sure about that. I got an internship at one of the abovementioned firms last year without any experience in the specific team I applied for, though I had a few gen corp internships on my CV.

There's no sure-shot formula for getting an internship. Just try to send out personalized applications and increase the number of attempts. A lot of it is just damn luck.

OP, you know we often say on LI regarding threads on this particular uni, 'Oh dear, here come the GNLU trolls again'. Take a kindly-meant word of advice, get off this platform and use platforms where people behave rationally (LinkedIn, e.g.) to get your questions answered. For some reason, people on this platform from GNLU are extremely insecure about their uni, and hate to see it criticized. Just look at the number of negative votes on anything that could even remotely be inferred as being critical of GNLU and make up your own mind about the quality of advice you are receiving.

Rather intern with advocates who appear on behalf of WCC team of KCO, JSA and Trilegal. Request them to get you an internship with these firms.

You can also intern under likes of Zoheb Hussain who appear against advocates representing these law firms.

This is the most reasonable and workable way I'd say. You can also intern with small firms like wadiya, Chandhiok, etc

surely no one is stopping anyone from playing sports in the grounds. You dont get to claim youre some sort of victim because youre not getting to destroy university infrastructure. You want to do this in hostel corridors because you dont care about public spaces, but I bet you dont play football or burst crackers inside your house. Surely you can find a away to have fun without destroying public property.

I post a lot of comments defending the guy. Do you really think I would ever mention to him - the couple of times a year that I do speak to him- that its me defending him on here? Do you think he has time in his day to care about LI comments? Do you really think people post on here defending him not because they think the bullying has gone too far but because of some more nefarious selfish agenda? Thats ridiculous.

I think he sells courses pretty good alright, with nearly 100 cr revenue - surely you don't think this tweet will swing the needle in a meaningful way?

His arguments are impeccable

Market is growing but campus recruitment not growing - how do you explain that?

Shooting the messenger does not help

Are you that one nalsar student who's in 5th year absolutely shit posts on stories all the time,fights with juniors to satisfy his fragile ego and has "top 3 rank during the entirety of law school" or something like that in his CV and makes petty things his whole personality and fyi top rankers have signed the petition you're just very indifferent to innocent deaths if they don't align with your political leanings.

dont listen to them, they are the kind of people who arent content with anything offered, sirf stare above at the greener grass. The firm is literally the only one in India sponsoring flights, accommodation for 2 nights in a 5 star hotel, getting you free drinks, exquisite food and all for free. For a middle class person, this would be a dream come true for one day. This person clearly lives in advantageous positions. Just go and enjoy.

There is a difference in competition. For IIT, you compete with roughly 16L students, and around 200 students would be getting foreign or better placements than what is offered in top NLUs. For law, only about 60,000 students sit for CLAT, and out of them, roughly 10 people will get placed in Magic Circle firms at the end of the degree. If you look at the difference in competition, it all makes sense.

There is also the fact that most of the toppers in class 10th goes for science and then sits for JEE/NEET. The same is not the case for CLAT. So, yeah, cracking CLAT is not the same as getting into a CSE in a top IIT + The competition in top IITs is much more intense than that in top NLUs. Look at the suicide rates.

Yes, there seems to be an NUJS alum on LI who is obsessed with Sudhir to the point of being deranged and a stalker. This guy comes on every thread and attacks Sudhir needlessly. Obviously Sudhir must’ve given him low marks and he suffers from lifelong trauma because of it! Dude, go take therapy or something.

Also, regarding the point about bursting crackers in the hostel corridor, what kind of a nutcase are you? You think anyone should allow bursting of crackers in hostel corridors? You are literally endangering lives, because it may lead to a fire. And if you’re one of those people who bust crackers outside Sudhir’s room at midnight, then you are a coward as well.

Learn to respect people who have achieved and learn to appreciate someone who is trying to improve the state of legal education. Stop being such a pathetic loser!

idk about GLC but ill ILS some drawbacks of ILS, since I'm a student there.

- The placements of ILS has gone downhill. - From 2023 they have shifted 3rd year batch to the afternoon slot because of which you'll not be able to do an offline internship since the college timings are from 11am - 4pm which is a major drawback.

- Additionally there are no law firms near college so one needs to travel long distance after the college hours + Pune's traffic makes it worse.

- 75% attendance criteria makes you loose on lots of opportunities. I, personally have missed lots of seminars, guest lectures etc to meet the attendance criteria set by the college.

- Very few moots are organized.

- Poor infrastructure

The internal investigations and governance protocols at most Indian companies is an exercise taken to "clean" the office of any incriminating document as the investigation is set up on the basis of a tip that there's going to be a raid at the dawn. International companies actually have regular investigations and set programs for governance.

This is true; I can vouch for that from my experience. I would say that not all non-NLU people are like that, but my experience working with most of them has not been good.

This story goes back to the days when I joined a boutique firm in Delhi. All the associates (except for me) and senior associates were from some of the lesser-known law schools in the country. These people used to make such snarky comments about me that, had it been a non-professional setting, I would have broken their jaws. Their behavior reeks of insecurity in general; they lack confidence in themselves.

Before working with non-NLU people, I believed that everyone should be treated with respect and dignity. However, after working with these non-NLU people, I have changed my view. Now I believe that since we are all competing, I should do everything within the boundaries of ethics and morality to put these non-NLU people in their place. Most of them seem to have a grudge against NLU people from the first meeting itself.

Also, I have worked with NLU people also, my equation with them is different, they are not insecure, at most they are competitive in a healthy way

P.S: Insaan ko insaan ki tarah treat karo toh voh sir par chadh jaata hai

What is the hiring mechanism at TT&A Delhi. It doesn't seems to follow the route being followed by the Mumbai Office. Is it a one internship policy or unlike Mumbai office do they call for the other internship as well. Have they hired anyone from 2025 batch yet?

Please shed some light.

Hello everyone,

I recently received the following feedback on my manuscript submission:

"We regret to inform you that your manuscript has not been accepted by the Editorial Board. As per our assessment, the article is predominantly descriptive and its contribution to the existing literature is insufficient. Therefore, it has been rejected by the reviewers.

I’m struggling to understand how to improve my papers to meet the expectations of the editorial board. Any advice or resources on how to enhance the analytical depth and contribution of my research would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help.

ONGC- Videsh, a Scheduled-A Navratna company has decided to recruit students from the graduating batch of GNLU'24 in what has been described by many as a big masterstroke.

With this, GNLU would be able to place students not only in corp firms, litigations chambers but also in major PSUs. Only NLS before this has managed to get GAIL got campus placements. And for ONGC- Videsh also it has been an absolute masterstroke to recruit talented students from one fo India's top ranked law schools. The recruitment will take place on June end.

Good advice, though ensure that the work you are doing is inclined towards research/policy (CLPR, e.g., or research assistant job under a professor). Law firm work etc., unless for teaching/research for something related to corporate law, can sometimes be seen as unhelpful for a profile. Take this into account while remembering that some of the greatest academics in this world, including Ronald Dworkin, worked for several years prior to entering academia.

I really don't know what to say to you. The only part of your opinion which is right is that Rishi isn't a good leader.

However, everything else is absolutely wrong. The likes of her have brought the UK system of public services - the health service, welfare benefits etc. - to its knees, and she is as guilty of demonising immigrants as Farrage. If you live in India, please either educate yourself or check your privilege.It is partly because of her that the Conservative Party has lost all credibility and is likely to experience a landslide defeat. And if you're wondering, she attempted to sabotage Liz Truss (for her own gain) by saying that Indians were the largest number of visa overstayers in this country at a key point in the UK - India trade talks back in September 2022. Please don't express uninformed opinions.
