Give it a rest, pal. Other NLUs are even worse. Atleast we have research centres to work with. Though, it's not true that students don't lead events, literally every event is organised by the students only. And so is the student law journal (JLS). You're clearly not from NLUD, so what's the point of throwing your shade with an uninformed opinion? And this is Delhi, there's plenty of places that kids here go to, not our fault you don't know about it.

I was at a formal dinner past week. I was seated next to an associate from another law firm. He was seated on my right and didn't have a clear view of my left wrist, which was also covered by my shirt sleeve. The dude literally kept peering across throughout the dinner to see my watch brand! Also kept looking under the table at my shoes to see if he could identify the brand. The whole fucking time! Non-stop for 1.5 hours! At the end of the dinner, as we were walking out of the hotel, he just couldn't control himself and asked me the brands I was wearing. It was Titan and Hush Puppies, but I lied and said Rolex and Ferragammo, bought from Dubai. The dude was sooo jealous. 🤣

So yeah, just sums up these people.

A boat that's not only leaky, but also delusion inducing it seems. You aren't better than anyone else, never have been. Your future seems brighter to you only because you have no idea about other's futures. Insofar as mediocrity is concerned, your comment and attitude both prove yourself to be the one wallowing in it.

The point of a high earning job is to live well. I was from an upper middle class background, then Tier 1 NLU. I've been in the M&A practice of one of the leading T1 firms for over 5 years now.

I take a foreign holiday every year. I got myself a proper watch (Omega), tailored suits, fountain pens (Sailor), and top quality grooming products. All my personal electronics are Apple. These things are very important, don't listen to uninformed people posturing with false humility online.

My next targets are my first Rolex, a BMW 3 series and Mont Blanc writing instruments.

Hi, Wanted to enquire whether LKS is recruiting for the 2024 batch. Because they're not answering our RCC calls. In the college they've sent the shortlisted applicants, has the interview taken place and how many students are they recruiting, also is it worthy to do long term internship at LKS?

Hi I work in a b/f team. However, I have trouble understanding the actual implication of the financial covenants/ratios and their actual meaning and impact. Is there any course (long term) from any institute I can take to understand the world of finance and just not limit myself to a templated lawyer?

Jabalpur is a beautiful small city, we have the principal seat of the Hon'ble High Court of MP here. The work is primarily divided into -

Civil, Criminal and Writ practice.

Being the High court there is a lot of appellate work pertaining to civil and criminal laws. On the Writ side, there is huge amount of work pertaining to service laws. Not a lot of commercial matters. Counsels practicing on civil and writ side often take up arbitration and other contract matters.

From the perspective of a junior, some chambers don't pay at all, some pay in the range of 5-20k. On the brighter side, the cost of living is not much too. The standard of the bar is really good and there are excellent lawyers practising here.

Nobody will open your CV and check publications and then give an internship

This is fantasy

If you are active on social media you will end up getting to know lawyers who can recommend you

People who write regularly on ipleaders blog have more footprint, its easier to publish (because they have an active team that responds in reasonable amount of time) and then you showcase that article on your social media - people will read it and it increases your face value

Publishing one article in some academic journal that nobody will read will not get you placed

Truth bombs? This guy has been reduced to the domestic help of Mukeshbhai and his children. Won't move an inch without making sure he is pleasing the BJP top brass. Starts a scholarship at Oxford (where he didn't even study), joined a UK firm and does pure Indian arbitration sitting in London but is busy giving us advice about India being run by Indians?

Nehru, Shastri, Indira, Morarji, Rajiv, VP Singh, PVN, Vajpayee and Manmohan were all foreigners?

Such absolute drivel. He is just forever indebted that ▮▮▮ famous India Gate ▮▮▮

Truth, my ass.

Veritas is serious about hiring. If you are from the 2024/ 2025 batch, there is a good chance of securing a PPO. They have really good mentorship for assessment interns. Their pay is pretty good and they have a good work culture. Focus on your presentation (definitely the most important thing to get hired as they don't have a separate interview). With the current hiring scene, getting a PPO is safer than waiting for Day 0. The downside is massive. You can always move to a tier 1 firm after working at a place like Veritas

Hi, I received a PPO interview mail from SAM Delhi in January scheduling the interview in Feb but then they postponed the same. I have been following up on the status, but I have not received a single response. Is it possible that interview never happens? How should I go about it? Please help

We request the students and faculty members of all 26 NLUs to be in solidarity with us. Save a public institution.Those who have visited the NLU Nagpur campus they know how they invested 350 crores in shabby building even Lord Vishvakarma doesn't know ..No AC ,no hostel for new students but yes 7 bhk bunglow for vc and registrar's bunglow which he hasn't even occupied and turned into a guest house. We are struggling for basic amenities in adverse weather of Nagpur and administration is enjoying..No NLU had chancellor bunglow,this university has .. I request the students whose parents are in judiciary please take it to the right forum this VC and his team has destroyed 3 universities, this time don't let him go. Incorrect transcripts are being printed at Hyderabad▮▮▮. Ask anyone what happened in last and this university convocation, wrong degrees were given .Expose them ..I request legally India and all NLUs to help us .. ▮▮▮.Just type his VC VK name and Reddy report you will get a 40 page report what ▮▮▮ he has done so far .. not this time... God has given this opportunity to MNLU students to end his dictatorship...Come along legally India help us in all possible ways and save an institution..spread the word

Actually, none of these are luxuries. In the West, owning a Merc is like owning a Swift in India, owning a Rolex is like owning a Titan in India. It's just that socialist policies in India have overtaxed such goods and made them really expensive, so they are considered luxuries in India.

I appreciate your courage dear, Boycott classes with all your batchmates.. invite media with the help of locals..You students are not that weak anyway, remember NLIU Bhopal in 2018 , students literally sacked director SS Singh or DNLU also .. Believe in the power of democracy.VK is anyway a shallow man, trying to secure goldmedal for his son studying here ,but this time he won't go Scott free, Jail is the place for him.People are working behind the scenes you do your part.

organise yourself this time and be united,fix a date, call meetings with them and start a massive protest in the campus , don't let anyone enter.. Only you can save yourselves. I urge all 25 NLU students pls help us...raise this matter and take it to CJI and PMO. This VC has destroyed 3 universities Nalsar, NLU Assam and now MNLU Nagpur..God knows what's next..

It usually gets delivered by post to your registered address, anytime within a month from your enrollment date. However, in my case it wasn't delivered. I got a chance to visit MP HC once. So I got it directly from State Bar Council Office at Jabalpur. The officials there mentioned that it doesn't make a difference if you have the soft copy. So if you are to appear for AIBE you can upload the e-copy of the certificate and give the exam.

I (F23)really need someone to advise me. I was in a top50 clg. I am currently getting rejections from all corp law firms. I am interested in corp law. But the prblm is that, I panic in interviews and dont see myself as worthy of getting any job honestly. I am from English medium, born and brought up in tier1 city, still I see that batchmates from villages and non-english mediums and from poorer backgrounds have outdone me. i have extreme imposter syndrome, when i go for interviews, the recruiters tells me I have trouble making eye contact, trouble answering directly if I dont know the answer and i constantly beat around the bush instead of answering in short , concise, precise answers. I have trouble answering legal questions and im not able to remember provisions correctly, i always say wrong section numbers, and sometimes I dont even know which popular section number does what. I have very less substantial work experience, I thought i wont get selected anyways so I didnt apply for more internships, i know i was stupid. when i look at the intricately drafted posts that ppl make here, i get more overwhelmed. IDK wat to do about my panic and anxiety attacks. i have a very mediocre CV. the places i interned at, always shouted me for not having good quality in my work, but i tried hard and wasnt able to improve. idk how to improve, i tried all the tricks in self help bks. the whole day i'm not even talking to any frnds or family and only working on myself-still I cant get work done. i get distracted and dont have focus and i'm not able to complete 1 task till the end.

IDK how ppl in my clg were able to constantly intern, score high grades, publish in intl journals, be core members of committees, complete cs and also maintain long term lovers and deep frndships. i never ever got any one of that.

i get no respect in my house due to family thinking that i'm a failure, my siblings have all started from bottom by themselves and r now on the top in their respective fields. I was forced in the legal profession by my family, but i never got any help from them. i have now gone in a spiral depression and dont even have a single frnd, no matter how hard i reach out to anyone from my batch.

if anyone who's non judgemental and above average person who manages time properly; can give me a throwaway email to contact them, I would like to ask basic questions that i'm too afraid to ask IRL due to my fears. pls contact me - txtwing@gmail.com

Respected leader? BJP people in Bengal had been badmouthing him for ages for his alleged corruption, which even led ED to raid his place not far back. It's funny how every TMC goon becomes respected the moment they shift to BJP. Hence the saying that these two are merely two sides of the same coin. BJP leaders like Shubhendu Adhikari himself was a TMC guy against whom there still exist plenty of corruption charges, just like other TMC leaders.

For a kinder response to your question

The biggest asset of NALSAR has never been faculty as such. It is your batchmates and the alumni. With a batch so large, internal competition ends up driving you to be a better version of yourself. Being exposed to such a diverse set of students helps you grow as a person as well. Most of the laws can be studied by oneself provided one has certain basic understanding of english and legal systems. While good faculty definitely helps, it is a small component of campus life. I've learnt quite a lot from my batchmates, seniors, and juniors. 15-20 years down the line, these very people would be in quite influential positions in the legal circles.

For placements, it's going to depend on the efforts you put in. T-1 firms don't care about what faculty NALSAR has. Rather, they will judge the students based on their performance in internships and their interaction during Day Z. Self-study should help you there.

Lastly, the alumni network of NALSAR is your biggest strength. We are here to take care of you, so don't worry too much.

They won't fire.. paying what's trilegal is paying is very very feasible. It's just these lala firms owners eats up so much of the pie that they don't leave space for good pay.. a low tier firm like touchstone pays 21 LPA, S&r operating in shitty practice of Cap marks can pay 23.. it's so easy for all the lala firms to pay this shit

How can a associate with 3 years of experience in a law firm improve their writing skills?

I do acknowledge that with 3 years of experience, one will be aquire substantial amount of drafing skills. But how to assure that its perfect, such that your seniors dont have review it.

I have been told observing and reading agreements may help. But I dont see the change even after reading it. Maybe I am observing it wrong.

If someone can advise on how to observe drafting while reading agreements drafted by seniors that would be great.

Thanks :)

I'm a student at MNLU Nagpur. Yes the claims are true. I didn't pay 3.65lk/year for this.

VC Sir promised us placement data on within a week from our orientation date. It's been almost a year. He also made claims that ACs will be functional by 50 days. It's been almost a year. Nagpur gets so hot in March & April and we don't have ACs in our classes, hostels even after paying 3.65lks. I'm ready to pay more to set up AC in my room but they are not allowing.

My batch already has 66% reservation and most of them gets 70-80% of their total fees returned by Maharashtra Government and this is why nobody cares about the people who are not from Maharashtra.

To anyone powerful/insightful here, I'm a first year student, I don't want to get in these higher ups' radar. Please HELP us. Save us or atleast tell us how we can save ourselves.

I can assure you this is not a troll post. But I can assure you that our university is highly infested with mismanagement (and maybe corruption).

Even anyone wants to know more details I'll be glad to give them.

Time has come MNLU Nagpur VC must step down himself and make an exit or else this time even the shadow vc or dy reg won't be able to save him because a big trouble is waiting for him as well including the AR academics ...file is ready, wait and watch. Bahot public funds kha lia , ek ek rupey ka hisab hoga ab ...Delhi Tak jayegi baat ab.

VC VK is the most corrupt VC any university ever had and being assisted by the dy registrar. Actually their good time has come . People have got their kundlis now Dy Reg and ARs or anyone who assisted them in manipulation of results and gold medals will have to step down or be ready to face the inquiry.. who knows may be in jail..I repeat they all will face the music soon ... Sabka number ayega...wait and watch ,file is ready.

I'm a first year student in a Tier 3 NLU and I only consider 1 person as my friend. I'm an extrovert with around a hundred so called "friends" but secretly resenting all of them because I saw them hating each other behind their back and pulling each other down whether it's an opportunity or an election.

Now I don't believe in trusting/opening up with the 'snakes' here.

So Sir/Ma'am, I believe you're fortunate if your friend count is more than one.

Can someone make public the letter/petition sent by the faculty to the GC/EC against the VC and others in the administration? It will also help other NLUs avoid taking in such persons. Remember how PIB was undone due to the joint efforts of the students of NUJS and CNLU? There is also talk that NUJS students also provided support to HNLU students when they protested against Sukhpal and finally had him evicted.

There will be a churn of VCs in the NLUs soon. It will be good to know about their "deeds" so that they don't get rehabilitated as VCs elsewhere.

Take a look at one particular appointment of a non-law associate professor at MNLU Aurangabad and things will become clear about the high degree of nepotism plaguing the NLU system. A qualified faculty was looked over by the VC (now at NALSAR) for the appointment. RTIs were filed and a petition was also made by the faculty but, of course, to no avail.

Just a case in point.

Remember the VC of NLU Assam who "flashed" among other shenanigans. After initial denial, he tacitly admitted and then was allowed to run away to Karnataka. Despite police complaint nothing was ever pursued.

PIB from NUJS was another VC who was allowed to run away to Karnataka. So many VCs of NLUs are simply allowed to leave with absolutely no adverse financial, professional and/or penal consequences. And so their successors keep working/refining the entrenched corrupt system.

Instead of you deciding the veracity of the claims, why not allow the EC and/or the court do that.

If the claims are unfounded, why is NKC panicking? Why is he delaying EC meetings? Why is he being so paranoid with EC/FC/AC records? Why is he so upset that the police and LCC are pursuing the matter despite pressure? And why did he expend so much energy to initiate two laughable inquiries?

How is Westin working for him?

🤣 Bro is now a national media celebrity!

Tbf, referrals are a sham in law firms. You'll go through the same process you would if you just wrote the email to the HR.

Only difference, in referrals, your referee gets a small commission (in firms like Khaitan etc). SAM and CAM don't even offer that (they're in delulu about their talent hiring process).
