Well, well, well, look at you, all twenty-something, thirty-something, prancing around with your privilege like it's a toy. You've got opportunities pouring out your ears, yet you waste it all on frivolous nonsense, filling these esteemed halls of LI Gossipspace with your shallow dreams of excess.

Watch this video by UNFILTERED by Samdish, and open your damn eyes to the struggles of those without a voice-

THE FORGOTTEN PEOPLE OF DAYA BASTI IN DELHI

Instead of lounging in luxury, why don't you dust off that degree of yours and actually do something meaningful? Use your privilege to practice law, to advocate for societal progress. Give those without a voice a fighting chance. It's time to step up and make a difference, not just for yourself, but for those who desperately need it.

It's funny that people love going after the farmers. Especially when it's some urban elite doing some benami transaction to cut their tax.

Let's make all policies based on the extreme ends of society, based on isolated and disparate data points - we will have such beautiful laws to deal with thereafter.

All this requires is a forensic audit of those holding benami agricultural and claiming agricultural deductions. It's nothing new for most competent chartered accountants.

Incidentally, my father goes through an audit for his agricultural income claims every year by some shady income tax officer and every damn year they expect a payoff.

When it comes to false agricultural income claims, the officer can't prove anything as a lot of cash transactions take place but the officer sure as shit can make your life very difficult with just his suspicion alone. Incidentally said suspicion all goes away once the officers see some green.

If you look at India over the last 30 years - rural incomes have been left far behind. This is only set to continue as the rush to the cities increases. Plus what happens to farmers in the bad years huh? The thing morons in cities don't understand is that agriculture is hit and miss game.

It's riskier than running some consumption-based business as well. You are left to the various vagaries of nature every year not just to the demand-based economy.

You suffer if there is a supply glut. You need everyone else to have a bad year and you to have an exceptional year for the best windfall. One year you make it, the next year you could flop. See the problems?

No one lends you any money as crop loans are not given out much. Why? Because your risk profile is off the charts. You can call it a priority sector but priority sector lending remains limited and most banks don't ever meet their targets.

Incidentally, corporate loans in India have a far greater default rate than agricultural loans. The farm loan waivers cost less than these corporate loans ultimately to the exchequer - so let's not even talk about moral hazard for f%#k's sake!

There is a goddamn reason behind some of these policies but sure take a Twitter post or a financial influencer's advice and advocate for a policy change. Insidiously, when there is ongoing farmer protest.

When we search throughout the internet and various social media platforms we can usually find free materials like video classes, mocks, etc regarding exams like JEE, NEET, CAT, etc.

Do you know any similar free resources for CLAT ?

If so please share the links or names below whether its videos or google drive links or anything else which is relevant to CLAT.

Also is CLAT preparation app by EduRev actually up to date and useful?

Lmao I agree MNLU is not living upto it's potential and the admin is shit. It doesn't mean the students are. Extremely high performing and intelligent students who have been let down by the admin have sought opportunities elsewhere on their own.

The down votes on actual figures makes me laugh, as though these people know what's going on

Interning over the years in courts, I have noticed that many lawyers "set (collude with)" public prosecutors, bribe clerks in court to get favourable date for next hearing, and bribe witnesses to be hostile ......I know all these are wrong. I also know that producing false documentary evidences and tampering with evidence is also wrong. But what about tutoring your client to speak false stuff in court about what had happened. Does it come under giving best possible defence and due process or is this unethical as well. I am asking this because as I see if the lawyer doesn't tutor the witness to lie in the best possible way for appropriate questions, it is very easy, though not always, for public prosecutors to win the case. It is so common for lawyers especially at the trial stage that I think it might be within the ambit of professional ethics for advocates, just like representation of a client whom you know is actually guilty. But I didn't find anything to hold this view in my research. I am yet to intern at higher judiciary and in commercial landscapes like nclt or bom and del hc...I wanted to know whether practice there be filled with as unethical stuff as I see here in M.P. Thanks . Also please don't troll guys.

As an Indian legal academic, I agree with this comment. The Chinese academics publish much more and have got much higher research budget and funding. Nor do the senior academics there get complacent with their positions, unlike many Indian academics after achieving professorial ranks.

Focus on getting good people to join, including alum. It's astonishing why NALSAR does not attract its alum in academics in greater numbers. NLS does, even NUJS does. NLUD will probably do too once its alum have become senior enough. People will keep leaving for better opportunities, that cannot be helped.

What influence? All this Omerta like atmosphere is deliberately created to perpetrate such offenses. Whoever it is, is a student with no personal achievement or ability to influence others' lives or careers. Just go and report the person to the faculty and the authorities. You don't need seniors to succeed in law school, at least not people like this.

Over this weekend I have been seeing a lot of posts comparing NLUs. However what was missing was that there was no quantitative analysis of student perception of the said NLUs. This post aims to fill that gap.

A quick note for any aspirant reading this: CLAT rank does not denote the so called "merit" of any student. As long as you work hard and study diligently you will always do well in the field of law.

Data Used: I utilized the data from the 3rd list for this analysis, as I believe there won't be significant movement after the 3rd list in most of the NLUs I've considered. For the top 10 rankers, I searched for their ranks online and gathered information about their future plans to enhance my research.

Top 10 Rankers:

NLU

Number of Top 10 rankers

NLSIU

5

NALSAR

2

GNLU

1

Not in the Counseling Process

2

Half of the top 10 rankers opted for NLSIU, while 2 aspirants enrolled in NALSAR, and 1 chose GNLU. Additionally, it's worth noting that AIR 7 seems to have qualified for NLUD and intends to join it.

AIR 3, who is a coaching institute teacher, did not participate in the counselling process.

This data suggests that NLSIU is still the preferred choice among the top 10 Rankers. However note that 2 students joined NALSAR and 1 joined NLUD out of the 9 who opted for counselling, it is possible that NLSIU's recent batch size increase has put off some students.

I consider that a single digit CLAT AIR student joining GNLU was somewhat of a random event and so does not inform any meaningful discussion about the other T1 NLUs' student perception.

Top 100 Rankers:

NLU

If we exclude the 10 Rankers who were not in the counselling process, the percentage of rankers joining the aforementioned institutions becomes:

GNLU

1.11

As we can see, when excluding those who did not join counselling, because they joined NLUD or other law schools or some other reason, NLSIU still remains the most preferred institute by a massive margin.

Vacancy Rates for selected 5 NLUs between 1st and 2nd Lists:

I only used the movement from the 1st to 2nd lists as for most of the NLUs considered, the movement from 2nd to 3rd list was not significant.

NLUsSeats VacatedStudents AdmittedVacancy Rate (%)

NLSIU133004.33NALSAR1613511.85NUJS101089.26NLIU1911416.67GNLU1817210.47

Thus as we can see students very rarely vacate their seats at NLSIU (likely because of its positive perception amongst most students), however rather surprisingly, the second lowest vacancy rates are at NUJS, so recent negative incidents at NUJS have not discouraged admitted applicants from pursuing their studies at NUJS.

The Vacancy Rates at both NALSAR and GNLU are quite in line with the average 12 to 13% vacancy at other NLUs (I did some rough back of the envelope calculations)

The vacancy rate at NLIU is in fact a little on the higher side, would love to know from you all why this is, although I would presume this is some kind of a fluke event this year.

Please give your opinions and feel free to point out any errors.

Notes:

1) I only compared the BA LLB courses, NLUJ's BSC LLB was not considered.

2) I know that GNLU isn't typically categorized as T1; however, I included it because a single-digit CLAT AIR student chose to join it. While this may not be statistically significant, it's nonetheless intriguing.

3) This analysis is not meant to question anyone's NLU preferences so please not not construe it that way.

PS: Kian, please improve the ability to paste tables here; my formatting from google sheets is looking very weird here.

No one gives a f about Indian law Universities around the globe

Just compare the budget of Chinese universities with Indian universities

They have more budget than DRDO's R&D
China has some biggest cultures and languages and they learn in their mother tongue and stay in their country while India has a tiny budget for law universities and corruption is everywhere.
Some NLUs who are working for 10 years still don't have their own campus.

Take the example of the new NLU prayagraj which was announced in 2021 and still has no campus but is charging fees of RS 4 Lakh per year with no placement guarantee or faculty.

We need to fund our Law universities and as our CJI said we also need to focus on the mother tongue and make the law accessible to all otherwise only people with good social backgrounds will have access to law universities in general.

Not knowing English does not mean that you will not be able to learn or read books which were written in English.
I will take the example of Hindi students in UP/Bihar. Trust me they are far more intelligent/hardworking than others but they are not able to grow due to the influence of English in the courtroom and moreover, they don't have that much money to attend good law schools like NLS or other NLUs.

Just look at the quality of infra at Nlus and their faculty.

Basically you got a robotic NIRF sheet. No value of NIRF, even after fake placement figures Delhi was just 0.15 points ahead as per 2023. IIT Bombay continues to be number one in India even though as per NIRF IIT Chennai is number 1. Anyways, NLS and NALSAR are still at the top amongst law schools with good competition from NLU J, NUJS, NLUD, GNLU and together they make a good category of Tier 1 institutes.

I am so tired with this BS reply everytime. No, most people aren't interested in a MBA, that's the sole reason they chose law in the first place. I don't know why this MBA brigade comes in every response, if you are so fond of MBA, you do it and leave this site for us lawyers.

I am going to a tier 3 NLU. I recently saw that a lot of people from NUJS/NLUJ/NALSAR/NLUD pursue BCL from Oxford or LLM from Wharton. I have always fancied going to a top university. Is there the slightest chance of getting into these top programmes? I have 75 in class 12 and 97 in class 10. And what exactly do you need to do to get selected?

Your thoughts? The war on drugs is a failed American foreign policy experiment. Weed is already rampant in almost every single college campus in India, including all top NLUs.

Trilegal is very open about the induction process! Here's how it went for the induction at Taj in Bangalore for 2023 A0

1.We got emails on the venue, location, time and dress codes atleast 2 weeks induction

2. You have to reach the Bangalore office and transport is taken care off from there

3. You get your partner allocation emails too before induction

Trilegal's induction was great! You get booked in for a night at one of the city's best hotels. It's spread accross 2 days. The first day is more about HR sessions and team activities. The last event where you have an informal mixer (with unlimited drinks)

Gen Alpha will actually be the luckiest generation, because foreign law firms will be in India by 2027, when they start law school. Their average recruiters will not be CAM and SAM, but Linklaters and Clifford Chance. Their quality of teachers will also be better, as more and more NLU grads join academia. You will also see more NLU alumni becoming VCs. And they will have more knowledge at their fingertips than any other generation.

But the question to ask is whether Gen Alpha will take advantage of these privileges, or if they will resort to the same old Gen Z culture of grievances, entitlements and wokeism. Time will tell...

He/ she is from a T1 NLU. They are just panicking so it sounds like they have no options left. Trust me once they talk to some decent senior in their college, they will realise they are in a much better position than having to settle for LPO.

To OP - Kid, don’t panick so much. I know it can seem super competitive in college but everyone gets placed from top NLUs. Try finding a decent senior who will sit with you and guide you basis YOUR SPECIFIC situation. (You don’t need to have mooting exp to land T1 job).

Asking people on the internet will give you vague general answers which may not be in your best interest as we don’t know your exact situation. Don’t randomly go for an MBA unless you are seeking something specific out of it which law degree can’t provide you.

All the best!

Yes, she was clearly trolling for the likes and the lolz. For example, she once posted: "I f-----g hate Hindu temples". Why would someone post something like that except just to provoke? It's still excusable if a school kid does it, but she is old enough to know better.

But this is part of a wider trend we see among Gen Z. I think the impact of social media has been really harmful for this generation. Gen Y wasn't harmed as much because of a part of their childhood was spent in a pre-Twitter world. Twitter came out in 2010 or so and Instagram even later, if you were born in 1995 you still spent your childhood without Twitter and Instagram.

You currently have social media CEOs being grilled by the US Congress because of this problem, but it's too late to save Gen Z and Gen Alpha. We now have to look to save Gen Beta, whose first members will be born in 2025. We need to limit their screen time and have parents and school counsellors be more proactive.

Depends on where. A postdoc from a highly reputed research university will not only help your research profile but will provide greater chances to secure a permanent position abroad if that's what you are keen on. If you plan to work in Indian academia, hardly matters. Experience as Asst. Professor might be much better in terms of UGC checkbox.

Will be very competitive and difficult in the coming years, the batch size increasing significantly + 3 year LLB, while the number of jobs are not going to increase and those firms will hire only limited numbers from Nls even if it is rank1 . It should mean you need to maintain an extremely high gpa throughout preferably within the top 20 of the batch, you will get definitely hired.
