You are a T2 NLU kid how you describe yourself.

Be honest and tell me which T2 NLU comes anywhere close to JGLS. I don't think any NLU except NLS, Nalsar and NLU Delhi (and probably NUJS) can match the impact or influence of Jindal Global Law School.

You might met the bottom 20% kids of Jindal. The day you meet the top guys, I guarantee you won't stand anywhere.

Be humble my friend.

Hi everyone! I'm a final year non-nlu student currently interviewing for the A0 position at S&A (disputes). Would anyone who's worked there before be willing to share what the starting package is like there? As no such information has been provided by them with regards to pay. I've heard the pay package is different for nlus and non-nlus, but that's about all I know. Could someone please share?

Bhai I worked in Reliance, aisa toh nahi hota. Khair you must have joined some lala company I believe. My head legal never work on Saturday even if it is marked urgent and he is also an ex-partner of big law firm. Since I have friends in finance department, I can easily tell you that his salary is around 2-3 cr along with other bonuses and stuff. From petrol to everything is covered by the company. You did not negotiate well before joining the company. Its time for you to jump ships.

Hi, I'm from the 2024 batch. I interned in March 2022 and received a callback in August. I got an interview invitation in February 2023, with the first interview in March and another in May. The Partner offered a PPO during the interview, and I received the offer letter within 2-3 days.

Interestingly, an associate in my team told that he had both of his interviews scheduled within 2 days because he was in his final year. Trilegal speeds up the process for final year students.

Hey, think twice before packing up just for that shiny new tunnel promising quicker travel. Eventually, it's gonna be just like every other congested spot in the city. Civil Lines used to be the ultimate address in Delhi ages ago, but it's not the hotspot it once was, and there's probably a good reason for that shift. Trust me, I've been there a few times, and the traffic you have to battle, especially on Tuesdays, is nothing short of a nightmare.

I have been closely monitoring Umar Khalid's case on Bar and Bench, and I've observed that despite having top-notch legal representation, his bail plea doesn't seem to be accorded the serious consideration it deserves, neither by the legal counsel advocating for it nor by the court itself. Does his right to personal liberty hold any substantial weight in our country's legal proceedings? Additionally, I'm curious about the frequent changes in his senior counsel during hearings. Wouldn't he be better served by having Trideep Pais consistently representing him?

You can go for tnnlu it's not a big deal. I mean I would definitely prefer slsp over tnnlu but then again you are hesitant over the cost factor which is understandable. Also we should keep in mind that you will be graduating in 2029 and by then a lot of t2 NLUs and a few t3 ones would be at a much better place if not the best.

There is no good and bad music, music is subjective and everyone has their own taste, i bet you think led zeppelin, Pink Floyd are so damn cool, well others find them boring, korean people like kpop so does that mean they are musically inferior to you, no way, the bts guys learned 5 different instruments while they were 10 years old, justin bieber learned instruments and singing when he was 11, so you have no right to say what is cringe and what is good music.

Also the worst type of people are the people who think anything that is not old school, or belonging to the 1950s is trash, i respect people who like the 1950s music genuinely and not have to shove it in others faces by saying others music is trash and keep an open mind

Ah, India and the world, let me tell you, it's a splendid moment! Witnessing competent and decisive governance is like music to my ears. Now, as an agnostic, I might not have my heart deeply entangled in the Ayodhya conflict, but let's not shy away from acknowledging the grandiosity of the BJP delivering on a promise from their manifesto. Agree or disagree, you can't deny their consistency in taking action or at least putting in the effort, setting them apart from the rest. That, my friends, is what I call having a strong character.

And now, the man of the hour, Narendra Damodardas Modi. In 2024, he's got my vote. It's a notable shift from my skeptical 2014 self, influenced by those long-winded critical pieces from The Wire and Caravan. Back then, I went for the NOTA option, but times change.

Let's draw a parallel, shall we? Donald Trump, the man with a plan. His presidency shouted commitment to promises like tax reforms and deregulation, hitting the right notes with a significant voter base. Opinions may dance all over the spectrum, but you can't deny Trump's determination to act on his agenda. Now, what's the common thread between Modi and Trump? It's their shared dedication to delivering, no matter the opposition. Navigating through criticism like pros, they stand as a symbol of decisive, action-packed leadership on a global stage. That's a duo that resonates with voters worldwide, seeking leaders who don't just talk the talk but walk the walk.

Even though I am against Sudhir because of his dictatorship and his efforts to curb student autonomy on campus, I will have to accept that he has really transformed NLS. He has drastically improved the faculty here. If he had increased the seats at a slower rate then he would have been the best thing that NLS ever had.

Probably all law schools now consist of a majority of gen z population. The fests organised are also for those gen z students. The way you’re generalising gen z, I’m assuming you’re not from gen z and probably not studying at law school right now. Why do you care about who they invite to their college fests?

This was quite informative. The person I spoke to on call said that it was UGC recognised and I confirmed the same with her twice.

In addition to what you have mentioned, does anyone have any idea if law firms will consider this degree for IP transaction law? I wanted to do the LLM in IP and technology law course and was wondering if the course was worth it.

You are creating a strawman argument. Nobody has asked for unfettered control, nor does anyone want the VC to give up running the institution. What you have said about a good VC consulting the stakeholders and trying to reach a solution that doesn't compromise his vision nor imposes unrealistic burden or compliance on the stakeholders, that's precisely what Sudhir doesn't do. He makes up his own mind and then everyone has to follow him without any dissent. He's got a reputation of not being a team player or even manager. Be it consortium, VC ship or faculty position. If majority face similar problems working with this guy, then one has to consider the possibility that he's not the best of leaders.

I feel for you but the ratio of smart:dumb kids is 1:100. You might be an exception that you can change the general idea. Its sad but no matter how hard you work, no matter how smart you are you'll always have to walk an extra mile and prove that you're not like any other Jindal kid.

For eg if there are two students one from jindal and one from GLC, by default the GLC kid will have a privilege because its a fact that literally anyone can get into jindal. Last school is definitely not the only, but the first thing we look into to assess someone. Sorry but its a fsxr

This question was also asked a few days ago

Why don't y'all use Google?

If you intend to apply for internships, at least check up the Official Website of the Hon'ble High Court. Download the 2024 Calendar. Why just summer? You'll get deets of Diwali and Christmas vacations as well.

Don't go for a PhD without financial security. NLS has no scholarships except for JRF. But your PhD also depends on the quality of guides, and it is here that NLS may outperform most universities. Give the exam, and you'll get to learn even if you sit in interview. Prof. Arun's comments in my interview helped me a lot.

Hey man,

I’m from Jindal. I study at the college on a scholarship (wouldn’t have been able to afford it otherwise). I hear you. Atleast half of my peers at jindal are quite literally, incompetent - not because they don’t have the skills but because they’d rather party and have a fun college life because of their privilege. Which is also fair, the end goal for everyone is to just be happy anyways, if your privilege allows that without you struggling initially, good for you! At same time however, there are also kids like me who work their asses off, have no connections in the field and chose Jindal only because they missed the top 5 nlu’s by a few ranks (general category and from a small town so no reservation - either caste based or domicile). We study, write, compete and win competitions. We network at conferences. We work our asses off at law firms to get call backs. We try different ways to make money and take care of our own expenses because we’re already extremely guilty of making our parents pay so much.

At the same time however, we are constantly badgered with the label ‘privileged and smug Jindal kid’. We get fomo when we see our friends partying and spending lavishly, but we can’t. We look at our friends sail through life with easy tier 1 internships through contacts while we keep applying to hundreds of firms. We get into places on our own merit. We’re also ‘jiggles’. And we’re not for one second ashamed of it.

Jindal allowed me to access to the best of professors, whose impact has defined my career trajectory and choices. I’ve been exposed to disciplines such as psych, architecture, liberal arts, and economics which has allowed me to think way beyond the eco-chamber of law. I’m sure your co interns are entitled but they’d have been that way notwithstanding their college. I have friends from Jindal and Ashoka who are insanely rich but are the nicest most humble people and have NEVER made me feel anything less than equal. While at the same time, I have cocky friends from both Jindal and T1 NLU’s who think they’re the shit. I understand the temptation to generalise and make it a tribalistic war between colleges - but maybe judge an individual by their merit and character and not their college, city, race, colour, caste and other random group identities. I agree that getting into Jindal is much easier than getting into an NLU, and honestly, NLU people deserve the praise for cracking a pretty hard exam. But beyond that, at the end of the day it’s just a college - Jindal and NLS. It’s the decisions that one makes after they get into a college that matters. :)

All the best for your internship!

As a Jindal kid, who is extremely middle-class but is doing decently well there- I just got my first T-1 internship for the first time for the coming summer. Whereas, a number of my own peers, with the worst grades, have been interning at T1s since their 2nd semester and I have been at a variety of T2-T3 firms, despite having a better CV. That said, I would not agree that Jindal kids are dumb AT ALL, at least a majority of them are not and we have some of the most passionate and driven students here. More so, in my 4 years at law school i have not come across a single JGLS kid at all who has put someone down relating to the status of their wealth. This is something I will vehemently defend. You may very well be smarter than them, I will not even argue that- but I highly doubt that JGLS folks overall are dumb or snobbish.

However, OP your experience could be completely different and in that case I feel for you.

NLSIU exists only for the 5 year UG education. The universities' focus lies almost entirely on that. There are some good professors and a wide amount of resources available, you will get to make some good connections and the brand value is also good. But the institution will not care about you, your needs or interests. You will be left exhausted dealing with morons and a system that conflates being terrible to people with high standards. Lack of compassion will be treated as some virtue and being aware of the conditions of your fellow human beings will be considered a weakness.

what exactly do you think will come out of this PIL lol? its a matter of demand and supply. there are lakhs of law graduates every year who are desperate to get something on their CV. forget paying interns, these days interns are paying to get internships. not everything is governed by fairness and justice, some things are governed by economics.

Joining GNLU will be a humongous mistake. Paying 65 lakhs for a shady seat is just dangerous to say the least. His/her dream is to work for a corporate law firm at the end of the day.What’s the gurantee ki he/she will get it?

Dude you are still 17. You have to be prudent in terms of financial matters. With a rank of 900, you will easily get HNLU and NLUO. Join there. I will strongly urge you to drop this nri seat as I was a nri student for my first year in nujs and trust me it was a shitty experience. My friends are still struggling to even get through their mentality as even though they are doing well, the atmospheric pressure you have after paying 60 lakhs is just a shit-fest.

TBH, a general seat from hnlu or NLUO is much more valuable than an NRI seat and that too in Gujarat.
