I am a final year student at a T1 nlu. In most subjects, they don't teach every section in classroom. However, it is always encouraged that students read all sections on their own and clarify their doubts with professors. If someone has attended all the classes for a particular course, that's enough preparation for them to score decent in the exam.

Exams are majorly application based, with little or no theory based direct questions. So, a good knowledge of sections and important case laws makes you good to go in the exam.

As a former T-1 associate, I'd never trust a 2nd year with work and the implicit assumption would be that the person came through a reference, even if that person studies at a T-1 NLU. I really don't get how people can be so shameless to freeride on contacts and pretend they "achieved" something for themselves. It's better to start at the bottom and climb to the top than have daddy pick you up and place you there. Where's even the challenge of life for these tools?

This is not an investment advice. Historically stock markets have rallied for 6 months prior to the elections. More so if a single party gets simple majority.

I am not sure which IT stocks you are referring to so can’t comment on it. But the IT stocks that I own have seen good returns.

This is terrible. Even here on this platform, we see young people stressed out about how one NLU is better than another one, depressed about not getting their preferred university or education loan, dropping a year (even two or three drops). I am sure that the 18-year-old having a heart attack at a coaching center must be due to stress, lack of sleep, bad diet, etc. One also cannot absolve the parents of putting pressure on their children. Yes, even parents are partly responsible.

I am sooooo soooo glad that finally some decision like this has been taken. Going to coaching so early had far reaching negative effects on children. Also, it created an unnecessary sense of FOMO among other parents and children and they would send too. A 6th class student going to school like 3 and then coaching till 8 pm is brutal and unnecessary

Asking a law student about the existence of NLUs is the most ridiculously easy question and the obvious intention is that the contestant should easily be able to answer it. So nothing extraordinary. Yes, I agree that it does serve to spread awareness about their existence, but i don't think they are trying to especially do that.

And BTW, I am pursuing IPM at one of the IIMs and had also gotten a T 1 NLU (general guy here) so i guess I'm the one who should call you "chote log" cause i had the luxury of options while retards like you masturbate to your apparently flamboyant colleges rather than being humble and low key

hi,

- ensure that your CV is crisp and to the point [not more than 2/3 pages]

- it would be better to figure out what "corporate law" division you are interested in [Gen Corp or M&A etc.] so that you can frame your cover letter in that manner

- a firm is going to accept you only if you have some prior work experience in that subject area - so if this is the first time you are applying for a corp law internship then it is unlikely a big law firm will choose you. try finding tier 4 or 5 law firms and start down there - you will build up your CV quick

- honestly, it is a hassle to get internships rn - if you dont have connections, it is indeed difficult - "its not a you problem"

- ppl have already started getting internship confirmation for this year, so it would be best to ask for months near June-August [if possible try choosing a month during which fewer colleges have vacation]

i hope you do find something! I am drowning myself :(

what equality? i know a person with an OBC NCL certificate but is living a lavish life, why does he need reservation? the reservation must be on economical terms not just on caste.if equality is your prime concern and my definition of it is concerning to you go and try to change the law system where women are easily given preference and where women can easily file a false rape case and the man suffers and the women gets maintanence from the man even when she's earning enough. you can't change any of this so you better shut up and stop talking shit.

I was a paralegal there in 2012. The work was amazing but hectic. People, from top to bottom, were very toxic. Work culture was bad. It used to be a one man firm. Have heard that things have become 2% better in 2024. That said, the grilling experience there had its own advantage. After my internship there I moved to another firm as an associate. I found myself to be better aquatinted with litigation and law compared to many seniors in the new firm. If you are willing to spend initial 2 years here, I am sure it will help you in your profession. Not so sure if that will be worth the psychological pains you will suffer for those 2 years.

See I have a solution for you. But, use it only if you have time from your studies.

Open YouTube. Type Pradhanmantri Season 1. Watch all the 26 episodes. This will give you a better and more nuanced understanding of India than most people. The whole series is like a Netflix documentary so you won't feel bored.

Now, see the news. And make up your mind.

Personal hate cause I'm an alumni and worked my butt off on my own to get to where I am today. The university did ZERO to help me or my career. Same for my batchmates, juniors and seniors. They do not deserve an NLU tag. Simple as that. And yet they charge exorbitant amount of fees. Later on I did my LLM from a tier 1 and the difference was miles apart. That's when I found out that most NLUs are a waste of money and not worth joining. Since then I've always told people. Tier 1 or nothing else. Don't waste time and money on tier 3. Enroll in DU, GLC or other older central Universities. Will save money and give you opportunities outside the classroom.

Is this what you'll tell the judge when he calls you out on displaying your emotions and not concrete facts. Stupid fool. Stop promoting tier 3 NLUs like they belong to the same category. NLUs themselves are state universities that have no recognition pan-India,.the only exceptions are tier 1s that are worth going to. Check out the PPOs and placement records. Apart from tier1, even tier 2 colleges are struggling to provide employment. So you expect tier 3 students to be given free lunches ? Why ? Just cause they have an NLU tag ? Nonsense ! If not tier 1 or 2, choosing to go to universities like DU atleast saves money and gives you ample time to commit to other work. Loads better than paying high fees just for a 3rd tier NLU tag. It's not demotivation, it's the reality that this sucker and all those after the NLU tags have to face. That tier 3 is not worth it !

I saw this post on Instagram,

Associate Partners - NO

Even recruiters are not able to fetch good quality Counsels/PAs.

PAs - No

Associates & Senior Associates - Yes

This is a tier 2 firm. So they would get folks who are working in banks, brokerage companies sebi Litigation firms and maybe from some tier 3 firms.

Here's more sad news. Today an 18-year-old collapsed and died at a coaching center in Indore while attending classes. This is caught on video. Coaching centers are killer centers.

I see headlines about record highs etc, but my own experience is the opposite. For example, I have some investments in IT and energy stocks. Media is hyping up the companies I invested in but the stock is tanking… don’t understand what the F is going on… just hope this shit isn’t rigged by Harshad Mehta-Ketan Parekh types???

What’s your experience and are you sticking with your stocks? Is a big rally expected when Modi wins in May and should I wait till then?

It really depends. Some folks just like to mark-up agreements since they want / like the drafting to be exactly as they would drafted themselves, which is impossible since each person has their own drafting style. There are others who will only mark-up when there is an issue with the construct (but not otherwise), or in case they want to quickly get over with the document, in which case, they will often just prefer to copy and paste language from older agreements with which they are familiar rather than understanding the structure created by the junior colleague. If you know your partner well, then you should be able to guess which is the case. I also wouldn't hesitate to ask why revisions were made - the partner can give you feedback or assuage your concerns that nothing was wrong with the draft.

I worked with this one senior colleague / partner who would mark-up agreements even when I was 5/6 years into the profession and I knew very well that my drafts were perfectly fine to be shared with clients without review. Since he never said anything to me - I presumed that he wasn't unhappy with my drafting but he wanted me to draft like he would have himself drafted, which again, is impossible. His drafting style, which I still disagree with, is like the way I have drafted this response; that is, a stream-of-consciousness style which had complex sentence structuring, which if verbalised made perfect sense, but (I think) must be avoided in legal drafting. In my opinion, legal drafting must be devoid of personality and should follow the rules of formal logic, even if it doesn't sound organic when verbalised.

On one hand you want "traditional" women and rant that women are entering the corporate space because your lazy ass doesn't wanna study but boose and drugs, but also shame the same women who choose to be stay at home because they find it "tough". Bro the toughest shit to do is repeated housework tasks everyday, just ask any mother. I wud rather do dd and await random client calls than that.

Okay reality check ! If following a literal sex trafficked in 2024 and firming your opinions is what you chose to do, I believe there is some issue with your upbringing (aka mommy issues). Please see a therapist before interacting with any other woman in your life.

1. Corp offices simply hire based on the batch rank. Girls naturally focus on studies and ace exams and therefore clear placements.

2. While engineering and finance was largely seen as a bros space until a few years ago, many IIM and IIT grads with foreign placements have been women, please follow news articles. I think you are interacting with people from 5 years ago where yes, women were actively discouraged from entering this space.

3. Women don't usually litigate because their parents including mine literally threaten them with arranged marriage, which means you loose your career and life at the hands of literal strangers. There's no money in there and misogyny is very high in the courts as well. Young women are not encouraged to take on cases because clients see them as too incompetent.

Finally , if you think that law is not for the "bright minds", please do everyone a favour and LEAVE.

Dekho. In tino me se 1 ko vote de do.

1. BJP

- good infrastructure development as our country needs it.

- tries new policies on taxation like GST, Financial inclusion like Jan Dhan Yojana.

- digitally savvy. Everyday new apps launched.

- Pro Hindu religion and to some extent marginalises Muslim community.

- favours big corporates like Adani over small businesses.

- does institutionalised corruption - as in election bonds, giving contracts to favourites etc.

- tries making "We have arrived" hawa on the world stage.

2. Congress -

- is status quoist. As in does things slowly and in the "chal raha hai" way.

- Not anti Hindu, but, cannot be called Pro Hindu.

- Open levels of corruption - as in 2G spectrum, Common Wealth games.

- More nepotism than Bollywood and Tollywood. So, all netas are related to someone big.

- I would say, overall, lacks fire. Just doesn't do too good or too bad.

- Nowadays, giving a lot of freebies (free bus rides for women in Karnataka), reservation to people.

- No particular agenda they have. It is more like - Windows OS. Not bad, not great.

3. AAP

- Idealistic in the beginning.

- Very young.

- Nowadays, giving freebies everywhere. Ye free woh free.

- Focused on Health and Education.

- Most politicians are 1st gen netas. So, less nepotism.

- Growing all over India. So, chance for a young person like you to get a seat.

- No real cases of corruption unlike the Congress.

- Leadership dominated by General caste, urban dwellers.

- No grand vision of India like the BJP.

My suggestion would be -

1. Fast infrastructure growth - vote BJP.

2. Want new, non anti muslims leaders who might focus on Health and Education - vote AAP.

3. Want freebie + status quo + no anti muslim sentiment + overall chal raha hai attitude - vote Congress.

Bhai LLM is for academics and it will not be counted in your experience as such. And since you are from DU, you can pursue 3 year LLM course along with the job. And yes, it will be counted as an experience (clerkship) and you might easily get into disputes team of any big law firm. All HC judges were once accomplished lawyers who were briefed by these law firms only. All judges have great connection with big law firms. Try capitalising on that and work as hard as you can in your clerkship period.

I would love for you to follow your goals, but, would request you to prepare for the exam and crack it first.

After March 17, and between the result declaration (May 1st week) you will have enough time to ponder on these issues.

And remember, Part B is checked only for the top percentile (around 90) of part A. So, complete Part A fully & diligently, varna Part B won't be checked.

All the best.

Any large organisation including Big4 Tax firms only take employees who are above a prescribed designation. For instance, they take only directors and above for offsites. Else imagine taking 4000 employees on an offsite? impossible from a logistics perspective. Similarly, expect Khaitan taking 1000+ employees at the same time for an offshore trip. It's pretty unreasonable to make a comment that any firm has morally hit a low because they didnt take A0s alongwith them. Tomorrow, one will say why only partners fly business/premium economy and not A0's, why they have a office cabin but A0's dont? this can go on and on. One may be patient enough to spend little time with the organisation and enjoy the perks which gradually come with it rather than crying out foul when its not. Being reasonable doesnt cost much afterall.

Coaching centers have been ordered not to enroll students below 16.

https://www.telegraphindia.com/india/no-intake-of-students-below-16-years-no-misleading-promises-ministry-of-education-guidelines-for-coaching-centres/cid/1994630

This will have a far-reaching impact on JEE, NEET, and CLAT coaching centers.

Shaant to ja Bhaii. I shared the same frustration that my senior was LEAST bothered about reading the files. That's how system is running. Old Boys have habit of protracting Trials because fee per hearing was the norm in earlier days. He will read it on the final hearing. Dont worry.

Articulation to my mind is structuring your thought process. Rather than only speaking fluent english, it is the intro, body, argument 1, argument 2, conclusion way of thinking.

Pretty sure no one does it better than MBB (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) front end consultant (Knowledge centre walo ki baat nahi ho rahi). Because they are drilled, hammered everyday to talk in this structured, succinct framework.

I am not sure if your PoV is due to meeting businessmen and Startup people. Meet real life MBB consultants who are doing front end consulting and then form an opinion on this issue.

The greater requirement of English language skills in law (especially high-paying metro-based corporate law jobs) weeds out those who don't have that level of proficiency. In other words, law students aren't likelier to be articulate, articulate students are likelier to study law.
