It's 12th class? Not some competitive exam where the seats of other aspirants are at stake. The whole purpose of compartment exam is to make it easier to pass for the kid considering they put efforts. Fairness/ unfairness is out of the question here. And again, no. The aggregate percentage is considered after the final marksheet comes, whether that marksheet is right after boards or after clearing back exams, that's on the individual.

Also OP pls do email the particular uni you've been shortlisted for.

Is it okay to be a narcissist? Studying at a tier one NLU, I have got a bunch of close friends who seem to care a lot about me, but deep down I know that I'll eventually end up as a snake. Although not a diagnosed narcissist, I've shown Machiavellian traits throughout my life. I feel as if there's multiple versions of myself in my head. Some are kind and gentle, while others are nothing short of being outright ruthless.

I'll tell you something in short-- I believe that all interactions done by human beings are transactional. Including the ones that we do out of concern and sympathy, as acting this way makes us feel good about ourselves. It is probably an evolutionary trait that has been exacerbated by natural selection.

Sometimes I have though of therapy. Maybe I am wrong, or maybe the way I perceive the world is indeed right.

Please understand that this average is 13 cr - not because most CEOs make 13cr but because the disparity between the top and bottom is so high. For e.g. if 1 CEO makes 100cr, and 4 other CEOs make 1 crore each - the average of all 5 together will be 20.8 crore.

So the extreme disparity plays a role in this excessively highly 13cr average.

JGLS, on an average, has 3-5 times the students in comparison to NLUs. As someone from a T-1 NLU that recently had student elections, I can safely say that people here are least interested about politics, except maybe a few over enthu and immature first years. In fact elections itself is a rare occassion, since the student body representatives are more often than now elected unopposed.

Do a three year degree please. 5 year would basically have a BA or BBA component as well.

Assuming you have a pre existing degree, that won’t be necessary.

Just learn the law by doing a 3 year LLB degree.

Also, I have seen someone who joined as an associate 0 level at age 32 or so. So you aren’t too behind :)

All the best!

Obviously, you don't understand the difference between "defense" and "offense". Brush up your English and then come and debate. As someone has commented, NLS has defended its position, but never actually beaten (outranked) any NLU through specific innovations (offense). It does not have the experience of coming up the ranks.

As I mentioned I was struggling with a lot during my initial years of law school but I decided that I needed to buckle up, at that point I didn't even that I want to build a career in law or not.

So, I was like let's get this degree and then I'll see what I can do with this degree.

And people with ADHD thrive when push comes to shive. Initially I used to study before my exams. But in my fourth year I started studying a month before.

Went through my university's past year papers.

Made a compendium of repeated and important questions. Compiled answers for all of them. Started studying and by the time my exams started I was done with 80% of my prep.

Repeated the same cycle and by the time I was in my 5th year, I was only left with 2 backs.

Regarding the T1 job, I was lucky because somehow through contacts, I was able to land two assesment internship. Since, I was from a private college, I knew I had to work harder than others.

I prepared well before the internship. I talked to associates who already work in T1 and friends who had interned with firms. Brushed up my research skills, learnt how to submit deliverables like an associate (like the format and stuff).

Basically I did everything, a associate was expected to do. Landed offers from both of them.

Honestly, it was an experience and I thrive in such situations so by god's grace everything worked in my favour

It is a fantastic experience but in your first internship?? If you make it through he'll eat you alive, haha. Very caring about his staff though, I learnt so much about Senior Advocates should conduct themselves, in and outside work. Would recommend it half way in your degree or the end.

On the contrary, the rules to abolish 1-year LLM programs have started from the academic year 2022-23.

The requisite marks and aggregate percentage are ALWAYS considering all subjects in one sitting. Based on what you have mentioned, then there is no difference between someone clearing all subjects in one sitting, and someone repeating a subject. Isn't that unfair to those clear in one sitting?

The biggest haling for lawyers is getting a good quant score in the GMAT/CAT. Entrants to ISB and IIM have high quant scores. They give leeway to girl candidates , but you still need a decent score.

As for B Schools abroad, the quant requirements are lower, especially if you are from a non-tech background. They are saturated with Indian BTech background and want diversity.

About the same?

By serious, I mean candidates making posters and reels seeking votes. Also making manifestos. Also having a full backend support team. Also advertising their ideology and political beliefs (um... why? like how how is that relevant?)

By dirty, I mean some candidates and their supporters smearing other candidates with filthy gossip and outright lies. An entire social media group was created with such mudslinging.

Do you see this in NLUs? Or is JGLS just especially f--ked up?

Ex-aspirant who's given the interview twice and only wanted IFS, go for it. If you have an interest in international relations, diplomacy and geopolitics, this is the only decent career avenue in India. Otherwise you'll have to get a higher degree from abroad and publish well to be recognised as an expert in these matters. Moreover, if you've read the government notifications, the cabinet has approved increase in IFS seats in the next 5 years. In our time we had only 25 seats for IFS, now it's 55. However remember that CSE is not a walk in the park. You will have to grind like hell. All the best

It's like the division system in English football. Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool and Man City play in one league, while Wigan Athletic and Port Vale play in another. Port Vale can certainly move up to the better league and compete with Arsenal or Man Utd if they have a good manager and get good corporate sponsors to bring in quality players. Similarly, a good VC, good faculty and good funders can improve an NLU.

Good luck!

Not typically. Most associates who perform well receive a 10 out of 10 rating and very good bonuses (higher than those at Tier I law firms). However, this can vary based on individual performances. That being said, the partners put in considerable effort to ensure that all associates receive thorough training (better than at any Tier I firm in India). Therefore, the likelihood of anyone being rated 5 out of 10 is extremely low.

I'm putting 80% of my wealth (excluding property and jewellery) into equity-linked instruments and shares. The idea is to make a killing in June and July, as the markets will go up big time when Modi wins. Then, post August, reallocate to debt, once it becomes clear that Modi is not a free market reformer but just less of a socialist than the Congress.

No. You are given a percentage, marks too. You also get a new marksheet so you if gave compartment it won't show. Thinking you just get pass/fail is absurd. Regarding if you'd be allowed to enter college or not, email the college. And don't listen to this horrible advice of repeating the year (how the hell do people think like this?)

For money - Join Corporate Law firms. Don't waste time in chambers.

BUT, If you have some idea about what kind of law you like, and want to go in litigation, join chambers who work in those law areas only so that you do not get discouraged early on and ask for decent salary head on.

I think most gay people already were voting for the party more likely to make gay marriage happen. But even among gay people- not everyone is a single issue voter- the economy and jobs is a much more important problem. 2-3% thats very dispersed across a population usually can have very litttle electoral impact.

It is sad how colleges focussing on LLMs either close their shop or lose focus. Cochin University has an Inter University Centre for IPR Studies, funded by MHRD. The course was well designed, and students were supposed to make monthly presentations even in their second year of LLM-PhD. it lost its focus completely after the founders retired and now, it has even lost its UGC funding.

Azim Premji University also had a well designed LLM program. Unfortunately, they have stopped it now that most of the faculties have been poached by "you know who".

How is that what they said? Please read the comment again - they’re saying that appendix surgeries are routine, not particularly serious. I don’t agree with leaving your daughter’s surgery (of any kind, if she’s asked that you be there) for client deliverables, but they weren’t saying that it’s okay to expect associates to answer calls while surgery is being performed on them, you nitwit! Or even for that matter that client calls should be answered if you’re just in the OT. What is with the extremely poor comprehension skills?
