Can you please mention which provision of the 2018 Regulation you quoted from? I thought that it was from the UGC CAS regulations, but could not find any such provision as you mentioned there. There are individual universities that have prescribed such clauses, but not the 2018 CAS Guidelines themselves.

When you write such English as "less inferior" of course you will attract scorn. But it's likelier that your short exposure to American culture has not allowed you to understand the critical differences in behavior there. You are perhaps unused to the stiff winds of egalitarian competition untouched by caste prerogative.

My (Batch of 2025) mentor (PA) at CAM recommended me to the HR for a PPO. The HR said they have received the feedback and will confirm with the Partner first. What are the chances that I receive the PPO? Will there be any other procedure in between this? I really really really really need help pls. Thank you

To emphasise more on this, try to look at it logically maybe? (My experience as a current Yale LLM - NALSAR B.A. LLB)

B.A. LLB is the equivalence degree to a JD in the United States. LLM is usually just an additional option if you want to qualify the bar exams there. The US cohort including the Indian Americans don’t take LLM seriously at all, plus the prestige factor lies with the JD making the LLM students less shiny. Plus, you have to understand that Harvard students are known to be arrogantly snobbish when it comes to their law programme. My friend from Virginia who is pursuing his JD at NYU stated that HLS even crushed Yale law grads time to time. So it’s not uncommon for them to look down upon a law school which isn’t well known in the whole of Asia. Let’s be honest, even your Indian peers (especially your batchmates) salivate to even get their journals in the Harvard student law review where even the JD students are given first preference. Also, it’s incredibly harder to get into the Harvard JD programme when you compare it to their LLM programme. LSAT US (not india) is not a joke. Either you need to have a certain 175ish grade / life altering extra curricular or legacy admission (but that too if your dad or uncle is a governor). For LLM there is no exam and let’s be honest even if by any great misfortune the HLS students come across something like CLAT- they will start laughing at us despite the unpredictability the exam holds every year. NLUs are not even as prestigious as IITs (which are quite well known to Harvard and MIT grads, even Yale too), so it’s difficult if you expect Harvard to take note of us. Plus, the inferiority of top Indian law schools are exposed vividly when we ourselves including the NLS cohort refer certain institutions as ‘Harvard of the East’ / ‘Yale of the East’. We already admit that their institution is already bigger, just hang out with your cohort and mingle with those JD folks who are actually nice, not everyone can be bad.

1st year - NGO internship+ district court/HC internship in your hometown.

2nd year - HC Delhi or SC internship or judicial clerkship.

3rd year - After Vth Sem, try to intern at a T2 or T3 corp firm and after VI semester intern at T1 corp firms.

4th year - get a PPO or intern at places where you can get a PPO.

5th year - Jo man karey woh karo.

With respect to recruitment in law firms, in-house, or any other organisation in India, I was hoping to gain clarity on two things:

1. How strictly is the PQE requirement enforced? For example, if the job requirement stated a minimum 1 year PQE, or, let's say, a 1-4 year PQE, but I only had 9 months of PQE, would I still be considered?

2. If I apply to an organisation and am rejected, is there a certain cooling-off period before my application will be considered again, or can I apply again immediately for any subsequent job posts by the organisation?

I would say given that you're from Bombay and have a GLC admit, the decision to go to Jindal shouldn't be taken if you are able to "afford" the cost but only if you're very wealthy, like your parents have crores, you live in the posh areas, always go on foreign trips and INR 40L doesn't even matter to them.

GLC over Jindal

All Jindal can offer is bookish knowledge. At GLC, you don't have to attend clg so you can intern, intern and intern.

Compared to GLC, I'd say all clgs are useless and futile. GLC is good for nothing but it gives you liberty to intern and nothing beats that. Practically speaking a studious nlud or any nlu grad cannot even come close to GLC grad WHO HAS INTERNED DILIGENTLY.

thought my NLS background would help me but LLM students have no value whatsoever. Don’t get me wrong but my class cohort is extremely sweet and we get along quite well. But the JD students look down upon us….it gets really monotonous as they feel that we are somewhat less inferior and shabby compared to their high horses. Goddamit 😭

Regarding the comment about not reading literature on animal rights, I'd like to highlight a broader issue within NALSAR's curriculum. It is well known that the curriculum at many educational institutions, including NALSAR, is not perfect and often contains biases. A comprehensive education should expose students to diverse perspectives to prevent any single ideology from dominating and disproportionately influencing readers. This lack of balanced representation can result in a limited understanding of complex issues. In the context of animal rights, it is crucial to engage with a wide range of literature.

In my view, the theory of the food cycle no longer applies as humans are now sufficiently equipped to choose ethical dietary habits. If we haven't created an animal, what gives us the right to end their life?

Thank you to everyone who shared their perspectives in response to my post. I'd like to address some misunderstandings and clarify my position further in responses to two- three comments above, point by point-

It is true that many supporters of progressive ideologies (Woke liberal as originally referred in the post) advocate for veganism, but my point was about the inconsistency in applying these values. It's contradictory to vocally champion animal rights while participating in practices involving animal cruelty, like eating meat or supporting events where animals are killed. This selective empathy undermines the goal of universal compassion for all animals.

Moreover, I understand that people have different views on animal intelligence and which animals deserve protection. However, the idea that some animals are less sapient and thus okay to eat is ethically problematic. The capacity to suffer, not intelligence, should be the criterion for moral consideration. By this standard, causing unnecessary suffering to any sentient being is unethical. Promoting the reduction of animal suffering logically leads to reconsidering one's dietary choices.

Furthermore, the health and safety risks posed by mice are valid concerns, but we should still use humane practices to address them. Humane traps and deterrents can manage rodent populations without causing unnecessary suffering. Treating animals differently based on their perceived nuisance value or cuteness reflects a biased approach to animal rights, which I argue against.

Animal Rights Activists Who Eat Meat

It's true that some animal activists are not vegetarians. However, this doesn't negate the argument for a more consistent and ethical approach to animal welfare. Advocating for the humane treatment of animals while consuming them presents a moral or ethical inconsistency that many animal rights advocates, including Peter Singer and Tom Regan, have critiqued. The ultimate goal of animal rights activism should be to minimize suffering and promote compassion across all species.

My intention is not to be confrontational but to challenge the inconsistencies in our approaches to animal rights and advocate for a more comprehensive ethical stance.

Anyone know what happened to these NUJS students? Is their company doing well? Did the Sharks follow up on their offers and actually invest, or did they pull out? Coz I read that sometimes the Sharks rescind offers after due diligence. In this case, I feel the business won't grow unless there are legal reforms by the Modi govt where ADR is given more emphasis.

I just watched a video by Robin Singh (PFA the aforementioned link) from Peepal Farm. Robin, who is an animal rescuer, vegan, and promoter of organic farming, shared his thoughts on Bakrid (Eid al-Adha), which is today, June 16, 2024. His message highlighted the problem with millions of goats and other cattle sacrificed during this religious festival, sparking a timely discussion about animal rights.

It's crucial to recognize that this issue isn't confined to any one religion. In India, many people, including a large number of Hindus, consume meat. This widespread practice highlights the broader challenge of advocating for animal rights in a society where meat-eating is common. Therefore, this comment should not be considered coming from a religious perspective. Animal rights is a universal cause that goes beyond religion, taste preferences, protein needs, and income sources. The philosophy of ahimsa, or non-violence, is deeply ingrained in Indian culture (something that should not be limited to any particular religion) and supports extending compassion to all living beings.

Philosopher Peter Singer, in his work "Animal Liberation," argues for considering animals' interests based on their capacity to suffer, not just their utility to humans. His utilitarian perspective challenges the moral justification for practices that cause animal suffering, such as factory farming and ritual slaughter.

Moreover, treating animals ethically aligns with broader environmental and health benefits. The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization has pointed out the significant environmental impact of livestock farming, including deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and water pollution. Transitioning to a plant-based diet can help mitigate these environmental issues and promote sustainability.

On a personal level, adopting a more compassionate lifestyle can lead to better health outcomes. Research shows that plant-based diets are linked to lower risks of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. By advocating for animal rights and reducing meat consumption, we not only promote ethical treatment of animals but also improve our own health and the planet's well-being.

Robin Singh's video and the timing of this discussion on Bakrid/Eid al-Adha remind us of the importance of consistently and universally advocating for animal rights. By fostering a culture of compassion and ethical consideration for all animals, we can address the inconsistencies in our activism and work towards a more humane and just society.

Here's a fair and equitable tax rate:

Up to 12 LPA - 0 tax

Up to 24 LPA - 5% tax

Up to 48 LPA - 7% tax

Up to 1 cr - 8 % tax

Up to 1.5 cr - 10% tax

Above 1.5 cr - 15% tax

Above 10 cr - 20% tax

For farmers, we can simply tax from 1 cr onwards at 8%, gradually brining both farm and non-farm tax rates at par.

GLC anyday.

If you are want to work/practice have house in Mumbai, knows good English and have socialisation skills. GLC is good.

If you want to go into research, academia, ethics etc then JGLS is a good option.

GLC students have 4PQE by the time they graduate 5 year LLB. There is no concept of attendance. You only have to attend exams.

Most capable GLC kids work for 4 years. When an NLU kid graduate they have 1 year internship experience and 4 year of study. GLC mostly it's for working.

GLC, without any doubt. Trust me all Jindal faculties are not good, and the so called best faculties whose names are often used in the brochures and prospectus, often end up not taking any classes. Additionally for optional selection you have fastest fingers first test and people end up with not so useful optional subjects as the slots for more popular and useful ones get finished within seconds. And the cost is another downside. You will end up spending more than 50 Lacs, considering all the ancillary costs. But if your family 'mints money' instead of earning it, join Jindal without any second thought.

Please help me with the following. Share place's contact number and location of possible.

Requirements for PG:

1. Single sharing

2. With food

3. Budget: 18-22k

4. Within 5-7 km from okhla phase III.

If flat:

1. Budget: 15k

2. Within 5-7 km from okhla phase III

Take GLC. 5 years of GLC won't cost as much as one semester at Jindal. GLC has 2/3 good professors only, for IPC, Contracts, Company Law. Rest subjects self study is the norm. For Litigation nothing like GLC. If you are above average you'll get a corporate placement too. The cream of the Batch gets tier 1 offers. As far as ROI is concerned , forget placement You'll recover your fees from your fourth year long term internships.

Please refer to the 2018 regulation:

"The Vice-Chancellor shall hold office for a term of 5 years from the date on which he/she

enters upon his office or until he/she attains the age of 70 (seventy) years, whichever is

earlier, and he shall not be eligible for re-appointment;

Provided that notwithstanding the expiry of the said period of five years, he/she shall continue

in office until his successor is appointed and enters upon his office;"

I personally feel like all this NLUJ v. GNLU nonsense is coming out of sheer insecurity of GNLU kids. Almost everyone agrees that NLUJ is wayy ahead of GNLU and the OP has given a great point as to why NLUJ is worthy of being top 5. However, no logical argument is presented by GNLU kiddos who’ve infested LI and are busy crying like little babies. Kinda reminds me of the Jaat, Gujjar situation in India who constantly blabber about the superiority of their castes.

Rich farmers are all politicians or related to them. How is Modi going to tax them?

The farmers that represented to you as rich by mainstream media(pizza eating protestors from Punjab) have an average household income of less than Rs 30000 a month per household of four according to government data.

Only other state whose farmers are close to that income level is Haryana. All other state’s farmers are much lesser. Kis ko tax karein?

I am normal NLU student, and seeing all these posts about work culture in law firms made me wonder if the two things that I desire: family and having a successful career are at opposite ends and almost against each other.

Is it possible to have a normal family life while working in a tier-1 firm?

If I want to start a family early (27-30Years Old), will I be able to do so while working?

Are there any present examples from whom I can take inspiration from? Are there parents who are able to be home by 6PM and spend time with their kids?

I just genuinely want to know what life looks like it and the possibilities it has. Don’t want it to be thread about people bashing each other for the choices, but rather present the choices available for those entering the field:)

I mean. Realistically- as a nalsar alum- if we took a cold hard look in the mirror we'd know that we're not the number 1 or number 2 law university in india anymore. Especially not after all those faculty leaving. We're probably on the lower end of top 10. But the brand value will work out for the next few batches. After that- who knows?

You did bother to read my post? I clearly want a nordic model where pimping and sex buyers are criminals, not the women. And the women are offered services to get out of the profession. Explain how the nordic model prevents access to justice system for trafficked women? Have you read studies where the nordic model has been proven to work and not blanket legalisation? Youre telling me to read a little and you didnt bother reading a comment? get over yourself.

Its a heretical opinion among feminists. Im whats called a "sex work exclusionary radical feminist" in these circles. Even though I dont exclude prostitutes from my feminism and even though i dont identify with important tenets of radical feminism. I think polarisation on all sides make common sense middle ground opinions quite heretical these days.

sorry what? if its legal theres no forced prostitution because you can complain about it? This is honestly such a bad take I wonder if youve read anything about it at all. Please read on the nordic model, read some julie bindel, read some studies on how legalisation in places like amsterdam have played out- spoiler alert- it increases trafficking, it increases violence toward these women, it decreases their access to the law.

Consider that smart well informed people might disagree with you because theyve read things you havent.

Had to face the same choice before. I'm not from mumbai but let me just tell u that what I spent in 3 years of GLC including cost of travel and stay is what I wouldve paid for just a year in Jindal. If you want to go into litigation, don't take jindal. You won't be able to recover the cost of ur education for a decade.

Currently, Iran is the only country in the world which allows kidneys to be sold. As a result, Iran has no organ donation shortage problem. What India can do is the same thing and further allow foreigners with kidney problems to fly to India and receive kidneys from Indians. This would be a huge economic boost for India. Many people who live in poverty can dramatically improve their lives by selling kidneys to both rich Indians and Westerners for 50 lakhs or so. Meanwhile, the Indians whose lives will be extended, being affluent and educated, can extend their lives and contribute more to the country. It will also put to an end to unsafe black market, kidney operators, wall so underpay kidney donors.

I really think we need to amend our laws and allow this.

Depends on variable factors. 1. If you move to disputes team at a full service Tier 1 law firm, you can match the same. 2. If you’re stuck in a chamber and eventually start your own practice, you can draw par in 10-15 years depending on how well you do. 3. If you create a niche in specific area of law, or smaller cities or courts, you’d make margin from volume. 4. If you do rise to be designated a senior, you’ll cover up with those corp law people within 5 years of such designation. Dont be disheartened. Keep hustling.

Not true, the criticisms are valid despite the brand value. NALSAR has absolutely declined in terms of administration, faculty, state of campus, etc. Is the alumni network and legacy still enough to ensure prestige and the availability of opportunities? Yes, but that doesn't mean life is all rosy at NALSAR.

@'29 students: keep those criticisms in mind. Whatever bothers you about life at NALSAR, be it mess food, or toxic batchmates, or the crumbling campus - acknowledge the problem, and look for constructive solutions. It will be a long five years otherwise.

Jharkhand is not a culture.

Tamil Nad, Kerala, Gujarat, Bengali are distinct culture based states.

MP, Bihar, UP, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh don't have that much state cultural identity. They are states made for administrative reasons. Not for cultural or language reasons.

For eg. Bihar - even Biharis don't call themselves Bihari. They consider it as an abusive word.

Thanks for being upfront about your financial situation.

I would say first figure out if you like the profession by giving 2-3 years. Once you enter the profession you’ll be exposed to lot of new things that may affect your decision. You’ll realise lot of people end up pursuing quite related/ non related fields of law. You might have to move to another city for a better opportunity.

Don’t think so much about finances and rent now. Give yourself time to figure out who you are and what you like.
