This has to be worst take. GMP is not a good indicator of good/bad company. It’s easily manipulated since its literally in grey market. I believe the OP never dismissed the listing gains, their main point seems to be is that despite gains eventually market with correct itself and bad companies even though giving great returns rn, will go bust.

Mark as trollish and contested. Brahmaputra/LC is a new hostel built, new library has been built, various hostels such as Narmada have been expanded, and there is a New Academic Block. The claim that there is no expansion of infrastructure or building of new hostels, etc. is entirely false.

I wrote CLAT in December 2023. Before this I was pursuing a different course in a college till November. It was a last moment decision. So basically I did not prepare for several months for CLAT and just relied on what i knew and i got through. I got an NLU (not a top one obviously). But I'm really scared about whether i have missed out on anything that other students have done. Some say that CLAT is not related to what you study in college–which is partly incorrect i think. It does a fairly good job of selecting only those students who can read and comprehend well.

What should I do to be well prepared before college? I have bought a coaching's material. Should i study that now? I don't intend to give the exam again for sure. I'm very anxious. Some people say that just chill and enjoy, and i find this advice to be quite unhelpful.

Some things on my mind:- read newspapers, read books, do some courses etc etc.

I would be grateful if you could guide me. Thanks!

1. Even girls want to look after their parents okay, it's not an exclusive right for sons?

2. Tutions is not just for general studies but NEET and JEE coaching. Parents only allow their sons the same in smaller towns. Girls are asked to pursue smaller vocations. And then the sons will rant that girls have it easy because they are doing smaller jobs and not sent for entrance coaching.

3. No, I dont know which ultra feminist family you are choosing for your argument, if there is extra money they help their sons with the clinics/ property/ offices in their business. Ladki toh shaadi karegi na.

4. All my uncles are in the US and have detached from their parents and living with their wives abroad and barely even call. This is the case most of the times.

Exactly. If they wanted to raise a voice it should have been to support PhD candidates whose thesis were being shut down. Yet they choose to strike for games and sports. No wonder the academic excellence is going down when future professors and researchers are not supported and surpassed by wanting fests

Hi I am based out of New Delhi, working at a T2 Corporate Firm in PE/VC M&A Team with a PQE of 2 Years. I always knew Law firm wasnt the space for me what are the good inhouse companies I can look for in New Delhi . Like too much of salary loss is also something not acceptable to me . If not Legally India is speaking Head hunters the way to go . I feel I am aware about how lateral.hiring works at Law firms but clueless about In-houses fully ??

These are all appreciable points but democracy isn't the same as populism. Sudhir should know, he lost a constitutional law case against him in the courts for trying to pull out of CLAT. It's well known that he's seen as a bit of a joke in the Consortium.

The sports fest isn't the actual issue, that's trivial although some of my friends might take umbrage to that. It's emblematic of his fascist style of operation. The faculty you lot keep cooing about has so far not changed much other than cry about attendance throughout the semester. The faculty also openly dislike him, so he really has no one in his corner.

Luck has to be in favor to have a partner who loves you and is with you through all the vicissitudes.

Here in law school, some are into casual, some not serious, some are breadcrumbling, some are dropping hints while having a partner, and some only want sex.

How difficult is it to find a woman with values! Perhaps, with such design, I will remain single and would prefer it that way.

Please take him away. We are more than happy. What good is the money doing for us? He is increasing fees every year and pouring them into his masterplan. We are the ones who are paying and are suffering in this construction site with no voice whatsoever.

This is not just a place where we study, it's our home. So, extra-curriculars, fests, are all important parts of a good human life.

Firstly, if you talk about academic standards then it has gone down drastically. The continuous evaluation imposed by Sudhir replaced full-fledged research papers with class presentations and writing summaries of specific readings.

Secondly, who started Strawberry fields, Spiritus, Trilateral, quad parties, Mid-Law party, Law School NYP, The Ball, and other similar student-led events/parties? Was it done by Gen-Z or by Gen-X and Gen-Y? It looks like Gen X and Gen Y used to have regular parties and no academic schedule lol cuz we don't have even 50% of the events that I just mentioned. Sorry, we are not as entitled and party kids as Gen X and Gen Y were.

This year, NLS may only have NLSTIAM, NLSD and NMC. The last one is highly doubtful. Even if all these happens, the student body will act as mere volunteer groups who will work as timekeepers and waterboys.

I have got nothing against NLUs. In fact, this year only I got a seat at one of the NLUs. But what makes me curious is reading that Harish Salve, Sharad Aravind Bobde and plenty of other highly successful lawyers studied in apparently nondescript colleges in India. Now don't attack me by saying that NLUs came into existence much much later. But I wonder if a uni like Nagpur university could nurture such talents and make them highly successful. Is it really possible? Will a student from NLS be better when he's 60 years old than, say, Harish Salve?

PS:- Please consider that I am very naive and yet to learn so much yet. So it would be good if you don't come down on me ruthlessly and troll me.

Hon’ble Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Shri Amit Shah as a Chief Guest will inaugurate the Centre of Excellence in Digital Forensics at National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) on 23rd January 2024.

NFSU rocks!!!

I wonder if lawyers have a higher probability of being single compared with doctors, engineers, architects, accountants, journalists, fashion designers, filmmakers etc. Maybe it's because lawyers take longer to be financially successful and stable? Or because the profession has a skewed gender ratio? Or because lawyers are usually looked down upon in India and people don't want to date lawyers?

Unfortunately, this is not the case with everyone and not every senior is like this. I was working as an A0 up until a day back and I was fired based on just two of my assignments amongst others that I have done. Despite putting long and working on weekends, I was told how I didn’t showcase effort or contributed enough. In the last couple months, my seniors who were just one or two senior to me treated me the way they wanted, one of whom dumped as much work on me as she wanted without the partner ever recognise that was actually done by me.

I recall having left for home for one on Rakhi and got a call from her while we were celebrating to review a set of documents that were uploaded on the datasite. On asking if I could take it up tomorrow, she sternly denied that told me manage it my own and just get to her before lunch the next day. She ended up pulling me out of several transactions by putting her backlog on me when a new thing came in and my work would often not get communicated to the partner.

In my fourth year of law school, I initially leaned towards corporate law, evidenced by my impressive CV with four Tier 1 internships and various Tier 2 and 3 experiences, including moots and publications. However, with my final year upon me, I've come to realize that the corporate lifestyle doesn't align with my long-term goals. While I have the potential to secure a position through hard work, the demanding corporate environment doesn't seem sustainable for me. I'm now considering a shift towards a settled, albeit less hectic life in a mid-tier city, especially considering the additional benefits available to me in the judiciary. This decision marks a crucial point in my career, and I'm seeking guidance on navigating this significant choice.

Lol, Messiah doesn't care if all student office bearers quit their posts, since he thinks that the student body isn't required to do anything but study anyway. A real protest should be one like the SBA has staged in order to get Messiah in as the VC, with placards and dharna. Ironical, yet true.

It's easy to see why Sudhir wants to discontinue the Trilateral. He just won't accept NALSAR, NUJS or any other NLU to be worthy of being compared with NLSIU. Remember that he pulled out of CLAT and also instructed NLSIU's counsel (Vikramjit Banerjee) to argue in the Karnataka HC that only NLSIU is a national institute. He also bears a grudge that NUJS students burst crackers outside his room as a prank, as they found him to be too strict.

This is the real reason. I'm telling you.

I remember Sudhir's words at the India Today Conclave, when he dismissed the IIT Delhi director's view on the relevance of skills education. He had said: "I don't care what law firms want".

When he unilaterally pulled most of CLAT, his attitude was: "I don't care what other NLUs and CLAT aspirants want."

Now he seems to be saying: "I don't care what the students want."

WTF is wrong with you kids? You have the best VC in the country: an Infosys Prize winner and internationally acclaimed academic. He has rescued NLSIU from the dumps by weeding out mediocre TLC faculty and hiring stud alumni faulty. He has tirelessly raised money through alumni and worked towards the expansion and upgradation of NLSIU. He has ensured that NLSIU is the only NLU to rank in QS, apart from dominating NIRF. Other NLU kids would literally give their right arm to have a VC like him. And you are upset with him because of some stupid sports fest??? Go to a freaking public park and play football or cricket. Go to a government facility and play Olympic sports. Who's stopping you?

Sudhir's goal is academic excellence and not populism. Get a VC from a rubbish college if you want populism.

This is nothing but an intergenerational culture war. Sudhir is hiring good faculty and imposing rigorous academic standards. The senior alumni of NLSIU (from Gen X and Gen Y) are solidly behind him for that, as this is a generation that values hard work. The present Gen Z kids are all against him for that, as this is an entitled generation used to easy grades and for whom hard work is "fascist".

P.S. Before Gen Z kids downvote this comment, I request you to speak to a sample of Gen X and Gen Y alumni. I guarantee you that 90% of them will back Sudhir (if not more).

Please mark as trollist and contested. No mass registrations have been threatened in the written resolution drafted. See the resolution at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OnaGLAU9t_o6l0IUPsu61WrJlc3HxHEESr0DE11xrZ0/edit?usp=sharing

Hey, Luthra is not hiring freshers rn, also Luthra is declining rn, because of the death of the founder and other luminaries leaving the firm b/c of the same and worsening of administration. An assessment internship at burgeon law would atleast give you a chance for securing your future employment considering you are in your final year, so Burgeon law at this point of time seems to be a way better option.

Best of luck!

Does IP alone have scope for intellectual growth? Would like to know what firms to apply to for getting exposure to IP transactions as a non nlu student in Mumbai. Also is IP experience relevant or transferable if you want to navigate to Media& Entertainment or TMT or whether these areas can be clubbed need clarity on it basically. Please share your experiences from any T1, T2 or T3 firms.

I applied for a position at their firm. The interviewer/hr was like you don't have any experience in the xyz field. 1) why shortlist a candidate based on the CV if you want them to have experience in the given field. 2) you have one job to check whether the CV matches the criteria for a job application as stated, if not send a rejection. 3) firms like SRL don't give experience opportunities but they do expect one to have experience in it. I wouldn't be saying this if there were a lot of firms who specialise in the practice areas as they do and it's not easy to get experience in data protection, financial technology, insurance technology, etc in any local firm.

Dear Members of JGU Community:

The Haryana Government has declared Half Day (till 2:30 PM) as Public Holiday on Monday, 22nd January 2024. Therefore, the O.P. Jindal Global University shall remain closed for Half Day (till 2:30 PM) on that day. However, all essential Services will function, as usual.

Thanks & Best Wishes, (Sent on Behalf of the Registrar)

Thus, it's a half-day closure, not really a holiday.

Precedent was set back in the day by Liberia and Ethiopia when they approached the ICJ against South Africa’s apartheid regime in its mandate of (present day) Namibia in what came to be known as the South West Africa cases.

As regards the OP - it’s their call, it’s their prerogative.

As despicable as Cyril is, he definitely has more money than that. Not paying people as much as his competitors do, shady travel agencies for firm related travel bookings, renting out an office space in a major office complex part-owned by him - not to mention the Shroff legacy money - amongst many other shenanigans. As terrible as that man is, he ensures that he has a bank balance much heftier than himself - even if at the cost of people who work him or people who give him work. The Adani marriage wouldn't have happened otherwise.

Tier 2 Uni, with a decent CV including a 2/3 corp internships (1 tier one GC internship) few litigation internships, publications, Moots, ADRs, Not Top 10 but a decent rank. Can I get an Internship through contact? Because I know they are very selective with interns and don't usually pick from Tier 2 Universities.

Helpful folks of Legally India, is there anyone here who have worked as In-House counsel for any major firm in India( or abroad for that matter)?

If so, then can they share their honest experiences on how they got recruited and what skillset is necessary for being appointed?

Also, will any company require niche specialized legal professional such as those mostly involved in IPR, M&A, etc ?

Got rejected once again, and has been happening every day since last October. I have a decent CV with publications, National competitions, Positions of Responsibility, and 4/5 Internships of which 1 was tier one, In the top 15 - 20% of my batch Doing courses by NLUs.

I am from a Mid Tier 2 NLU, which has to mean something, right? I have 0 contacts and have spent a good part of Saturday morning sending applications and follow-ups for Monday. I have gotten my cover letter and CV from my seniors working at tier one and made so many changes. I still don't seem to catch a break.

My highest point was when I somehow managed to get an internship at a tier-one in a very odd month and team, which turned out to be more depressing since everything was confidential and I only did clerical work which shows in my CV.

I am so lost, I don't know what to do, what am I doing wrong, what else do recruiters need in my CV? Kya karoo yar, with my rank there will not be any zero days for me, I have to get a PPO, it is my only chance for a Tier 1.

Everyone smokes here at law school, actually smoking isn't even a big deal. All kinds of drugs are used by these law students and from what I can see at internships, smoking is prevalent everywhere. So any advice on how to be a non-smoker and not be enchanted by how these people relieve their stress?

Then clearly YOU need to read more. You being ignorant, does not make her (or, anyone else) a genius. Lawyers LITERALLY read and learn. No innovation involved. No first order innovative thinking is involved. Nothing out of the box. It is just reproduction of what you have read.

Genius is someone who is ahead of his time . Being genius involves being innovative. In Law, Upendra Baxi would be a close living example of a genius. While this attention-seeking couple is clearly not!

By the way, hi Gsanks. !

I am one of the residents of civil lines for 200% you will love the place too quite all markets nearbuy chandi chowk, CP to visit DHc it takes around 25 min by car.

Kejriwal also lives in civil lines And other cabinet ministers for 100% police protection

have dedicated metro stations and people are old-schooled will help each other

but civil lines is slightly on the higher side ( price-wise )

Does fund practice only deal with AIF or also PMF and MFs? Asking as a total newbie law student. Also for a student how to start reading to lead to a conceptual clarity of funds and laws in India? Please help as most ppl i reached out to were kind enough to be snobby and ignore. HEEEHHHLLPPPP PLEASE
