That's how recruitments work right? Why did ISRO go to IITs for direct recruitment and not to other Enginerring colleges? (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businesstoday.in/amp/latest/story/iitians-not-joining-isro-60-students-walked-out-of-recruitment-drive-after-seeing-pay-structure-s-somanath-401614-2023-10-11)

Why do big law firms go to top NLUs and not to other colleges? The recruiter decides it.

Yes. Well the fact that JGU doesnt really care about students is obvious. It has been obvious since they didnt do anything to help rape victims, suppressed stories of harassment, allowed campus to become an open air drug market, and has a "good samaritan squad" to go and help students who break the law.

Students - who are adolescent and whose brains havent fully developed- think most of this "pro student" action. Theyre happy as long as they dont have to study, they can spend their time smoking up or hooking up and they get to bully their professors, and obtain a degree that they really havent earned. its all short term pleasure over long term well being for them.

The parents are sold a bucket of lies by the administration- first at admission because they focus on saying the faculty is great without addressing actual graduate outcomes, or even talking about faculty attrition at all.

And then throughout the years the students spend on campus. I have not once seen grade inflation so bad as it is at JGU. Most of these students wouldnt be passing on their own, but theyre made to pass by all sorts of ways- not including the ridiculous testing rules where one can obtain a full score in the final by only studying 50% of the syllabus- so it looks like the kids are learning something so the fees keep coming in. Student complaints about faculty being too strict are jumped upon by mediocre administrators wanting to please their customers- but there is zero action taken by the admin against professors who are known to give out grades for good teaching evals, who are known to not teach, hand over the teaching work to their TA's, not really evaluate assignments or even have very few assignments at all. No to having standards at all- just do the easy thing and let the kids have an easy grade. If youre a recruiter or a parent- you should not be believing the JGLS transcript- theyre lying to you.

But the university also lies to parents about the kind of experience their children will have. They tell them its a university filled with scholars and how their child can get an opportunity to pursue further study at foreign universities through their collaborations and how they can do international moots and internships and things like that. They dont tell parents about the endemic drug/ alcohol addiction problem on campus. There is no deaddiction centre even. I would not be surprised if they have never once in their history done a health survey to find out where their students even are with this stuff. they do nothing to stop rapes and sexual assault on campus, involving students, faculty and administration. The problem is endemic but faculty are not even mandatory reporters who are obligated to report abuse when they see it. In fact faculty are encouraged to rush any student who comes to them with this sort of problem to the COGSASH folks without getting involved or advocating for that student.

This is what happens when a lack of integrity doesnt bother you. If you start by saying- academic integrity doesnt matter to you, soon enough integrity in social life will also start not mattering. If corruption comes from the top down - at some point it is going to trickle down to the point that it will affect some students badly.

Parents sending their teens to JGU should know that theyre not done parenting once the kid is in college- its still your kid, and no one in sonipat is going to look out for them unless you do. no one at university wants to do the hard thing and enforce discipline or ensure safety or enable learning. 800 students a year, they dont have anyone to parent your kid. Even professors only interact with students fleetingly. You have to still stay on top of it.

I would suggest depriving your children of all that money to buy drugs and alcohol to start with. A strict budget that covers only what is necessary is the easiest way to make sure the kid stays on track.

Litigation will obviously have a dearth of competent professionals if it continues to initmidate youngsters with the abysmal pay. Try paying something like 70-80k, I am sure T-1 law schools will let you participate in their Day Zero process and you'll be able to hire quick witted folks. Also, maybe drop your chambers' name if anonymity isn't an issue for you? I think a lot of us lurkers here would be keen on applying for both full time work and internship.

youre assuming that lack of preparedness is about someone not being smart enough or not being sophisticated enough. Lack of preparedness is just that- you didnt do the reading. Its just investing time. Now if you dont do the reading- its not really incumbent on the professor to change how he teaches for you- if he does that- he will dumb down the class and take away incentive to hard work for other students and generally accomplish a lot less.

Help is not always someone doing what you want. Good teaching is not always just having the most fun lectures and activities. If you only went to doctors who gave you candy- youd just get diabetes. A good professors job is to hold his students accountable and to incentivise them to do the work and to allow them the opportunity to- after leaving his classroom- be able to talk to any scholar/ judge/ lawyer in the world knowledgeably about the subject.

In my experience, if you read the reading- and have a paragraph or a point you werent clear about- and you ask that as a question in class, Sudhir is quite happy really with that sort of engagement. If you dont want to do any work- yeah hes not the guy for you.

Can confirm that they’re not. You start as an A0 (0 being your PQE). In next FY, you become an A1, so on and so forth.

A0/Freshers were getting 1.3Lpm (15.6py) and they were technically not supposed to get a bonus. Really happy for them!

But also, sad for A0s who were on notice period today- since they did not know they would be getting a bonus and resigned before it.

I've recently got to know about the internship offered by NITI Ayog. I think it might be your best shot when it comes to aligning one's CV with a job role of an IAS officer.

In NITI Ayog's internship, you can choose from a variety of domain to work upon. From legal to infrastructure projects, there are plenty of relevant domains that the Ayog offers in this internship.

Neha Pathakji - Tax Law

Sourabh Bharati - Administrative Law

There are a few new enrolments which I would like to name -Balu Sunilraj - Political Science for first years and he is really well read in theoretical and his SSS for populism is doing really well too.

Rohan Cherian Thomas - he has really good knowledge of IPR.

Srijan Mandal - very well read in history

TS Kannan - very very good for sociology, knows his stuff and allocates time for doubt in every class

tbh there is faculty exodus and the VC has not appointed good faculty in masses. A better VC would be able to manage that, but this can be easily resolved if his tenure is not renewed and some other candidate is brought.

If I could like this post a thousand times, I would. Currently facing the exact same situation, with addition of mistreatment, abuse, manipulation at work and a partner vindictively messing with me for calling out the behaviour, which has severely impacted my mental health. Since the original comment is 2 years old, please tell me if you found a way out of this feeling and how. Would appreciate some beecon of hope or optimism

I have been on my own for 2 years now. While I love what I do, it has become increasingly difficult to find competent hands in litigation. I start off my junior colleague at 20k a month. Was paying one another colleague 45k a month with freedom to use office resources and take up independent matters. But, nothing seems to work when it comes to retaining them.

Plus, despite being very patient and helping them with doubts, they churn out garbage. It is easier to redraft than send out recline versions

It’s been more than 15 days, the Organising committee has not released the Score Sheets. They asked the teams to mail individually if they require the Scores. Even after complying with all the directions and multiple phone call requests, the OC is yet to released the Score Sheets of Prelim Rounds, Memorials and Researcher test

Hello,

I'm in my 3rd (final year) of law from Campus Law Centre which is about to complete in July, 2024. I have a good cv in terms of publication and no. of internships in disputes.

College obviously has no placement scene and I'm a little clueless about how the plan would further work. What to do? I'm applying constantly for assessment/long term internship at firms.

Please suggest me some firms for disputes where one can work in long term basis to convert it into being an associate. May June July would be very crucial. Any other advice would also be very helpful.

Thankyou

Been there done that...I would rather suggest to choose not to stay at hostel...cuz to be honest after the first half of the year the so called friends ship fades away ...so even if you're a day scholar you will be able to make a good company in the college ...both the options are good...but if you've chosen not to stay then don't.

MESSAGE TO THE OP-

Hey there, if a neurosurgeon needing brain surgery decides to write about her ordeal living life without surgery while exercising her lawful right not to undergo neurosurgery, would you go about town screaming foul? I'm sorry, but just because you might have responded differently to that stated experience, it gives you no right to pass blame around without even the facts! 🤷🏼‍♂️

MESSAGE TO LI READERS-

To those who wish to: a) read this faculty members first hand account or b) express outrage or c) dish advice or d) offer help, please don't give this thread or the OP any more importance by commenting; instead, do the needful here - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sonali-khatri-90871480_dear-linkedin-community-there-is-something-activity-7178306060837924864-ZpZK

As an RM for a T1.5 firm, I can offer insights into the hiring process. Generally, the most critical factor for someone from a lesser-known law school is the number and duration of internships they've completed. The perception often leans towards assuming that their academic credentials may not be as strong, making work experience the primary consideration.

Another strategy, albeit less common since around 2015 (yes, I'm old), is door knocking. Surprisingly, not many candidates approach law firms in person with their CVs anymore. However, in my experience, this method can still be effective in securing good internships. Many firms are inundated with internship applications, and some even resort to random selection processes. I once knew someone who would randomly select CVs from her mailbox for consideration, reasoning that if a candidate wasn't fortunate enough to be chosen randomly, they might not be the right fit for our firm. So, the main takeaway is that door knocking still works!

This is very serious. Her daughter was a passenger in a car which sadly crashed. She is alleging that the driver was under the influence of alcohol. She is saying that Jindal is turning a blind eye to drugs and alcohol, which endangers the lives of children. She is saying that the college has a responsibility to discipline its students, who are at a young and vulnerable age. Some of the things she has posted:

- Today: Hidden cam footage where parents whose children died are asking college authorities why then don't watch over their children

- A picture of a nightclub just 1 km from Jindal, where she alleges student go to drink the whole night and come back in the morning

- A video of a boy student kicking a girl student on campus (although it is not clear if the attacker was under the influence of alcohol).

I fully agree with her. It is fashionable to break rules and drink, but the fact is that children need discipline and our parents are right to ask colleges to keep an eye over their children. There is a drugs and drinks culture across all NLUs, but because of the Punjab-Haryana drug trade colleges like JGLS, RGNUL and NLU Sonipat are just in a mess. Just the other day the video of the NLU Sonipat boy, asking a cop a question when viral. Recently, the founder of Ashok said that drugs are being delivered by drones to Ashoka. Elsewhere, we saw the case of Jadavpur University where seniors got drunk and ragged juniors and a junior boy committed suicide.

People here will not like me saying this, but liberalism on campuses has gone too far and needs to be curbed through discipline. We need to have a zero-tolerance policy towards alcohol and drugs. It's not "fascist" to do so. You don't have a right to drink and do drugs on campus.

If you look at his profile on LinkedIn. He shared 2 years ago "Have been interning at Siddiquee and Associates since 2019 i.e. even before I joined my law college"

His linkedin profile also shows that he has been interning there for almost 5 years. that much of an experience should be enough to go independent. 50k seems peanuts considering 5years of work experience in a same firm.

I think you also need to know there was some formality while writing petitions.

Anyways people calling me WhatsApp university just confirm their bias here.

If you already hate one person/subject then you will research more about him but I can understand real WhatsApp university cannot research themselves.

Even many other freedom fighters wrote petitions for their release. If you having only petitions as an argument against Savarkar then are dumb and brainwashed. Try to acknowledge all viewpoints.

Sources say KCO announced 1.5 L bonus to all the freshers ( A0s in KCO are called as freshers) while this was not even part of the offer letter? This makes thier fresher salary 17. There are also indications of revision of thier pay scale. Will KCO become the highest paymaster?

Vritti Law Partners was started by Shameek Chaudhuri and Arvind Ramesh, who were partners at AZB Mumbai. They were later joined by Debashree Dutta and Roopali Singh, who were given the designation of co-founders. Now Shameek Chaudhuri has left Vritti, his profile is missing in the Vritti website (https://vrittipartners.com/) and he has, as per his LinkedIn profile, started a new law firm called Avyakta Law.

I have a ppo interview scheduled with the equity partner of a mid tier corp firm. I have brushed up the basics of companies act and my CV. What else can i do ?

Also, how do i leave a lasting impression upon him especially since this will be our first interaction (I have only worked with SA,PA in my internship).

I'm on assessment at a T2 corp firm. We have 8 people on assessment here and the firm will hire max 3-4 out of these.

We all are non-nlu but from decent private colleges like sls, jgls etc. Work product wise there's not really much of a remarkable difference amongst us all so I'm confused as to on what basis will the hiring be done here, any inputs would be much welcome.

An insolvency process, especially of a large company, is a complicated thing. The resolution professional once he steps in needs advice on lots of aspects, from collating claims to evaluating resolution plans to dealing with government authorities. A lot of this doesn't require litigation. Similarly, creditors also need non-litigation advice, on whether a plan is good or bad for them or whether what the RP is saying is correct or not. Resolution applicants need help in drafting resolution plans etc. A team which is purely a restructuring/insolvency team would usually render advice to these types of persons during an insolvency process. A pure restructuring team would also help a company or creditors in debt restructuring outside of insolvency. On the other hand, an IBC litigation team would be focused on the NCLT/NCLAT/SC leg of things, representing people before courts. Ofc there is a lot of placed where both these functions are closely inter-linked. So a restructuring team may assist a lit team, or even go to court themselves.

Everyone on this thread, do check out the results of the Bihar Caste Census 2023. And then understand, how much disadvantaged General category is in India. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Bihar_caste-based_survey

The numbers can be extrapolated across the Hindi belt (atleast) and the country too, so the approximate caste numbers will hold everywhere.

The numbers for your reference are -

15% General (including Muslim upper caste)

63% OBC - (27% dominant OBCs like Yadav, and 36% Extremely backward OBCs or EBCs in Bihar=

19% SC

Rest Tribal.

So, for India, approximately, it will be -

15% General, 60% OBC, 20% sc, 5% tribal. Although, I think SC population is higher.

Now, make your arguments and cry left, right. And also ask CPI(M), how many SC and OBC are in their Politburo.

If we extrapolate the Bihar caste census (done in 2023), for the rest of India, General caste population, including the Muslim Upper caste is total 15%. Yes, total 15%.

63% are OBC

- 27% are dominant OBC (mainly the dominant OBCs like Yadavs in Bihar or Gowda in Karnataka)

- 36% are EBC ( Extremely backward Castes - a OBC sub category)

19% are SC, rest are ST. ST population is very less in Bihar, so these numbers.

But, overall these approximate numbers would hold true for India - 15% general, 60% OBC, 19% SC and 5-6% Tribals.

So, you are way off, my friend. And General category is extremely disadvantaged in a numbers based democracy.

He never cares about what the students who need the class the most ends up learning. He pitches the class at a certain level and doesn't bother about those who may not be able to cope at that level. That may be the hallmark of a superior scholar, I won't know. However, that's not really the features of a good teacher.

One of the most toxic things to happen in law school related discussion in this forum has been to generate this concept of 'star faculty'. No such creature exists. All your idols have feet of clay. They are human beings. Some of them teach well, others do good research, write good papers. Only one or two people are even known to the academic community outside India. There are many who are doing good work without fanfare and publicity.
