As a CLAT aspirant and a frequent visitor on this website, I was came after a post here discussing about CGPA in NLUs and few advices about how averages were around 3.5-4 and ideal CGPA is 5+

Assuming the information is true, doesn't it mean that the pass mark for semester exams in NLUs is less than 50% ? So how much is it actually?

Students please reply along with name of your respective NLUs.

UPDATE -

Tok the case. Told the client will guide on the legal aspects and to let me think about the fixing one.

Talked with my senior he said he will get back.

In the main time got in touch with a broker who claims to have jack with Sebi officers and he's also told that he will get back to me. But, this guy seems very shady.

So waiting rn.

How did OP decide to take "advantage" of a senior colleague "by taking it physical"? Are you implying that OP raped her? Or that the senior female colleague didn't have any agency in that decision?

A senior colleague sleeping around with an intern (regardless of the gender of both the parties) must be condemned since it has the potential for abuse of power.

You have every right to criticize OP for implying that the girl sleeps around, although calling someone "promiscuous" isn't really slut shaming - it felt like a statement justifying the incongruence that OP feels. How I read that was "she is making this out to be a relationship while also sleeping around with other guys".

This is the sort of uneducated and kneejerk woke-ism that I just cannot comprehend.

I can can u from my personal experience that IRS are generally corrupt if not all than atleast 90% of them are. Try to recall any IFS officer who hasn't got a plush house in a Tier-1 city.

We all know the truth irrespective of being so call unbiased or irrational.

If you do not be believe please send a day with any CA in ant GST office any you will see bitter reality.

I would say you are deflecting except you clearly don't understand. Incels are not virgins. you can have a child and be an incel. It is pretty typical for incels to lash out at people seen as sexually unavailable to the incel. To you marriage implies sex and long distance or singleness is someone not giving it up. Both false assumptions. You should ask yourself why you are focusing on your imagination of what is happening in their bedroom instead of drawing a different correlation between annoying partners and their characteristics.

I'd say get into slsp first via slat which hasn't occured yet,once you do get in that is when you have to decided between the both. whatever you do dont quit NUJS before you get into SLSP at any cost.Pay the NUJS fees. theyll refund it in accordance to UGC so dont worry but dont withdraw from NUJS without getting into SLSP which is more subjective than clat with interviews and CV based selection so it can tough to get in via general unless you have contacts

I am scared that I will not be able to land a job at the end of my graduation, as I am a first-generation lawyer with no connections or anyone to help me navigate through all of this uncertainty. I am trying my best to stand out, giving out my best in academics, moots, publications, and internships, but I know that I lag behind my friends from my law schools and others, but I am trying so hard. I really need some advice on whether I should continue pursuing this dream or look for opportunities elsewhere, as I cannot keep going with so much uncertainty. Can anyone please let me know places where I can intern and possibly convert that internship into a future job opportunity? Please don't mention any T1 law firms; I know I will never be able to reach them. Thank you.

My CV - T1 & T2 law firms, a good GPA, moots, and publications.

Brother, I interned there in August 2023. Same happened with me, other interns got call back within 2 months. (Yes they were from nlu and i am not). The hope I got after getting good feedback vanished in seconds. Now I really feel I should have prepared a little better for CLAT.

I am not sure about you but if I am in your position, I would certainly NOT do anything that has risk of getting caught & leading to prosecution. This sounds difficult due to potential earning & clout but do you want a name as a reputed counsel or jugaadu fixer like Niira Radia. There is a specialised business of such sort. Search how people like Narimal Pathwani are on payroll. Search how Dautam Goshi or Dhanda Poacher went to jail for someone. If he or she can land in jail, anyone can, especially when ruling party gets changed.

NLUJ provides a single room for all the students from the first year itself; the allotted room is also permanent, and students don't have to change it every year as they do in certain NLUs like NLIU, the administration also allows for the installation of AC if you are ready to pay a fixed electricity fee every semester.

It was one of the very big reasons why many of my classmates chose NLUJ over WBNUJS.

Might. But then it will end abruptly the minute the mooting season and examinations would begin, or any Firm will visit the campus for placements. This is what happens in NLUs, no matter how "left leaning". These so called leftists will be the first ones to sit for placements or do fancy moots.

for the first week, they are most likely going to ask you to shadow and give low importance due diligence work, you dont need much knowledge of company law or securities law for that

after that if they give you substantive work, you can always read up on the specific rules or acts

to look professional - be on time, always say thank you, smile, and do not guess, if you do not know something be open about it, say that you would need to brush up and would give a definite answer in sometime, make sure you follow up, hold the door for all etc.

Highly doubt you've ever been with those kinds of insecure women, Mod. Although, you speak like some r'ship guru. It's very scary and exhausting. And I understand your position, OP. You need to just ghost her out of your life. Don't say anything bad or anything misleading and just walk away.

Don’t know what hate GNLU receives. Their trolls are all over the place defending the institution. All this despite the fact that it’s only been the last four-five years where GNLU has actually grown to displace NLUJ and NLIU. When I took the CLAT, GNLU was a solid mid-tier NLU that was behind the older top 5 and NLUD.

You don't need a "scientific study" to define your purpose, which, for generations, is biologically ordained – that is, to procreate. Sure, you can choose to deny yourself this, and that's fine as long as you can stay in peace with it without harming yourself with drugs or surgeries, which, statistically speaking, are driving up suicides in the West. Or, for that matter, being a social nuisance. What you do with your life otherwise is ancillary.

It is not rare amongst wall street M&A lawyers to switch to IB or some finance offshoot (PE or even FX) [Matt Levine for Example]

However keep in mind that:

- IB reimbursement is unreliable (bonuses across big bank this year were absolutely ghastly, which sadly make up 70% of their component)

- it's as stressful and demanding as a law firm job if not more

- you're expected to sell more than sit back and produce. You're under pressure of "originating business" and would still be expected to be on time with deliverables.

IMHO, it's worse off than law firms job as pay difference is not that crazy. Law Firm advisory has relatively higher margins than IB fees.

Iska ek simple solution hae, be boring in front of her, like show her nothing interesting is left in you now. Stop joking in front of her. Smile but don't put your opinion forward when she asks for one. If you do, it will look like you are invested. Be dumb. For a while, start following the Brahmacharya Kae rules. For example, if you drink and go to a party and she also does that, try to show you are trying to be a changed man; don't go to parties where she is going. Indirectly show her your detachment. As you may heard "small milate jaao , large banatae jaao". It will be a process, be a man of focus, commitment, and sheer will.

I remember a friend interned at JSA and LKS back in covid simultaneously. They even got a senior at one of these firms to change the dates of his period of internship in the certificate so that they could officially show that they interned at both these places. If you can handle the work pressure, there’s no problem.

Until I was an A1, 7 hour weeks and 16 hour work days were common. Then I got fed up. A1 onwards I've never worked more than 5 days in a row, not even once. Turns out that once you get comfortable saying no, seniors learn not to push too hard. What I also learnt (much to my surprise) that most attorneys are practically unfireable because it's too much money and effort to hire and train a fresher.

I'm not a PA2 on track to be RP with not a regret in the world. Try it kids, it's fantastic.

If your father is a lawyer in Bom HC and you want to get into counsel practice in Bom HC, then join NUJS or Symbi; join a law college in Mumbai which doesn't have attendance requirements.

Enjoy for the first couple of years and then start working from the third year onwards.

I personally enjoyed my college time a lot, and so I wouldn't have done this in the hindsight, but if you are only focused on counsel practice then this is probably the most effective path.

The IPM 2nd year course that you are referring to was assigned to Aymen Mohammed during the October-December 2023 term. Sid.C was only filling in for a few classes on local government. I am in IPM 3rd year and he taught three courses for us last year, all of which were meaningfully delivered. I asked him about what is going on this year. The Law students also confirmed that during the July-December 2023 period, he taught Constitutional Law I for 3rd year BA,LLB-Section B (69 class hours), Law and Justice in a Globalising World for LLM students (49 class hours), Economic Freedoms and Law for IPM 1st year (28 class hours) and co-taught Comparative Public Law for the new LLM-IBL course (24 class hours). That is more classroom teaching in a semester than many of our senior Professors put together.

1. There is still a considerable difference between the placement figures of the two places regardless of what trolls may say. That doesn't mean Symbi is a bad place.

2. If you wish to join litigation including your father's practice, then it makes sense for you to stay near him and choose Symbi.

3. NUJS will also offer you multiple other kinds of career option and higher studies and alum and faculty support if you haven't yet made up your mind about what to do after graduation. Symbi will require you to mostly figure those out all by yourself.

4. The faculty and research culture are still much better at NUJS at present.

5. Kolkata as a city is obviously better than Pune to spend 5 years in, though the proximity to your home may negate that.

I have got nothing against Symbi and in fact recommend it as the best private university option if students fail to crack the top 6 NLUs.

To give some context, I don’t hate Kolkata but again at the same time I don’t feel that there is a huge difference in terms of placements between these two colleges. Plus my father is a well-experienced lawyer in the Bombay high court and has good contact with certain tier-2 law firms in the Mumbai circle. Please help me get over this dilemma. I know it’s selfish to ask the moderator to feature this over all other posts, but after cracking nujs I am still figuring out what to do. Kindly help.
