I think there was one prelim in April 2022 as well; but yes, since AIBE is not needed it doesn't matter
Honestly don’t come here. I’m from a fairly affluent family (iPhone/Mac/Apple Watch). I feel insecure when my batchmate interns at CAM Bombay M&A in 2nd year, while wearing a Rolex to class during term here. Hard truths.
Hey, like the title says, I'd be grateful if I could receive some tips on what is asked in clerkship interviews, what all laws should one be well versed with? It'd be super helpful if somebody who's interviewed for delhi HC could chip in.
Suppose, I have an income of 20LPA and claim 50% as expenses. However, my bank balance stays more than 10 lakhs at the end of the year. Will that cause a problem?
I would say we’re easily on par today with the two oldies if you take way their older alumni. But they’re probably the only two considered our close rivals by folks here.
Yes, if you are looking for placements do an MBA. NLS wants to make social engineers and not corp slaves
Hi!

Please suggest firms that specialise in taxation [direct or indirect] apart from the Tier 1 firms that are worth interning at. Thanks
50L-1cr after working for a senior for 10 years still doesn't seem worth it, with Tier 1s that figure would be 2x or 3x
Nahi hai bhai 19.5 fixed. Ask anyone who works there.
if Panag came, then im glad that Chandu finally used his network. i gave him the idea lmao.
Try Pakistan. Growing economy and close to home. Vibrant culture and peaceful.
This exactly, the only thing that can bring about any change is contacting the upper management councils or student protests.
Why would they? This place has now been hijacked by junior students and not even intelligent ones, who are posing as everything under the sun from aspirants and parents to law firm partners and judges. And then there are the trolls who are part of the IT Cells of course.
What do you mean by, once a junior always a junior if we can go independent in 3 years ?

Whats "right attitude" you are speaking about ?

Are you willing to talk on anonymous email ? I need guidance
Bhai chambers and all ka info sab ke paas nahi hota. These aren't large scale employers. You won't get anything accurate here
HNLU is not considered a Tier-1 NLU but we get internship slots from trilegal every year.
Is this so called NUALS faculty an ex assistant professor who plundered the hostel mess fund while he was the warden? If so you can probably ask him why he was served with a memo. I am pretty sure that’ll be a more “juicy” information. Kudos.
‘X’ did not in fact join a law college my dear friend. You made a lot of claims like you have first hand information but went wrong there. Nice try tho.
The Trilegal Tax team is now the coolest. It has a mix of lawyers and CAs. they do stuff on M&A structuring, fund structuring, ESOPs, and litigation. Interesting work, good ppl.
What's with most of the replies on posts on this forum being shitposts of late? Looks like no real person in the industry uses LI anymore. If you don't have anything useful to say, save everyone's energy and stay shut.
Apart from NLS and NALSAR? NLUD trolls on LI routinely keep dissing on both the places and proclaim themselves as the best, which is why nobody takes them seriously anywhere.
Life in ECM is worse than B&F. Seen people break down at KCO, Mumbai.
Try to shift asap. You have no clue how bad ECM insiders at top law firms wish to switch to GC/M&A after a year of never ending (due diligence + shitty backup + drafting 500 pager offer docs).
I meant prior to 2023, obviously. See point 2 again.

2023, December. 2021, April. So not in December every year. Therefore the concern expressed in the OP will not arise.
I have applied at multiple places the issue being whether these firms are looking to hire or not. If I intern and they are on a hiring freeze like other firms I would have wasted a month in my last year.
Heard their is a lot of office politics and pressure of corruption specifically in dept related to Enforcement , Investigation and IPO's.

Any truth in this ?
95k is IN HAND after all the deductions like Income tax , association charge , food subsidy etc.
Go check in the recruitment section of SEBI website. Latest notification is available. Abb thodi to mehnat kar lo
if you're an intern or PPO holder hoping that the work gets "stimulating" after the first few years...you are in for a shock. There's a reason attrition is the most at 3-4 years PQE
BCR ka idea nahi but very senior folks (40 plus in age) in Deloitte's "M&A-Tax" and "Restructuring" teams based out of Mumbai earn at par with T1 PA bands and T1 Partner bands.
Hey guys, im also in the 12th grade and my parents really want me to do the NEET as well. But I really want a career that pays really well and am really inclined for more inside the office and writing work than Emergency and patient care.
The most successful people are chill and indifferent because their daddy got them the required network and business and not to mention capital.
Can you share positive tips with someone wanting to clinch the PPO from the team?
Join this team when you have learnt the ropes of the game at some other firm AND are good at the game of thrones.
Do an MBA. As a girl from a non-STEM background, you will be preferred because B schools want to diversify their pool. Also, since you had PCM in class 12 you should be able to do well in the CAT/GMAT maths section.
Private Client - What is this practice areas about? role, pay, growth opportunities, imp laws which are covered any other insights.
Fourth year student here primarily interested in TM both objections & prosecution. Looking for any companies where the in-house legal team works greatly on TM related matters. Please let me know.
Go through your CV, associates will ask you question from there only (what did you learn in your previous internships) and technical question related to law.
Go and open 2023 legal notification and you will know. And people you can really check instead of relying on random troll
So focus on study and if you deserve you may get to know yourself instead of sharing random Gyan here
Hello guys, i recently got internship in Tier-2 firm and this will be my First corporate internship, so i wanted to know what type of work they assign to interns (Area-Banking and Finance)
@Moderator: This is a point of fact and LI has covered all those matters too. Are you saying that facts are trollish now? This is not meant to be a reflection on the universities or their students, just the current incumbents.
what type of work do you want to do?

if law firm? then do you have previous work ex? if no, then forget or appear for sqe, if yes, and good quality then approach the hrs

if academic then you need phd

if taxi, then marry a gora or gori
Yes, you can. File a complaint to the UGC and also copy the individual VCs in it. Tag the places in your social media handles too, as well as the current UGC chairperson, who is quite active on Linkedin and X. That often sees quick actions from the people involved.
And what have you done to improve it? I tell you - NOTHING. Change comes from within, tell this to your entitled self who does not have guts to say anything to their class representatives lest admin.
A good MBA can give you time to explore various fields and domains in the corporate world. So, you can go for it. It's time savvy.
OnePlus Nord watch. Decently accurate. Looks great in blue, but the black one works too.
Get a fitbit for the sensor accuracy
Do BSC with Biology or chemistry and become a patent agent/attorney.
i know someone who moved from a policy thinktank to a privacy consultancy recently. so the shift is possible. but then again IMO its very team-to-team and domain-specific.
Well, nothing is gonna change if the only response idiots like you have to systemic issues is "chill".

You're just waiting for the next DJ Night to make your life happening again, aren't you?
Since we're on the topic of LLM from abroad. After I've done my PhD from India and worked as assistant professor for a few years with decent publication. Can I apply for an LLM in a specific subject abroad ? How viable is it for an academic career after having completed PhD ?
Sirf Abroad se llm karke india aana hee certain hai.. not the other way around
Anyone who's cleared this exam, can you tell me if I can aim for a JRF for the June exam ? How probable is it ?
No. About to file a complaint to the UGC. Should I send a legal notice to CONNLU? Can someone more experienced weigh in on this?
And if they refuse, what should we do? Have kept on sending emails, they never so much as mentioned the UGC Guidelines in their emails.

Super frustrated dealing with the Consortium.
Whom have you met? Name a lawyer, a practitioner, a well-known academic, a policy body head who has ever agreed to provide such a blanket certificate to NLUD.
Considering that the VCs of both NLSIU and NLUD have had more than one cases filed against them for not adhering to rules, one would think that the people having poor knowledge of rules are them, compared to others.
Did daddy pay for your education or did you take a loan?
Hi, I did LLM from india and now i am planning to move abroad. How and which country would be better to settle and work over there ?
Yep. It will..it anyway takes atleast 1 hr to reach my office. But toll + cab makes it expensive. Good optiom for those having their own vehicle
Hello, I did LLM from India and planning to move abroad, might be canada. Does NCA will help me in getting good job over there ?
I mean if they're just looking for something to measure their steps, a Samsung will be an overkill. MI Band can easily do the job without costing much, plus they're pretty accurate too.
never work w him, bekaar hain wants free labour Paisa 1000 rs deta Hain
Ye alag hi aa gaya 22lpm...don't know mod comments pdhte v ya nhi koi kuch v dal rha bina proof
Pay - 94K to 1lpm

Promotion - slow (hard to get in Grade D/E grade)

Work life - mixture feeling of Govt dept & corporate law firm

Satisfaction - if you're ok with salary & promotion than A1 job as you will leave in Mumbai
Share the link of latest official notification if such is salary than it must be in public domain as per RTI...on sebi website it's Rs.44K
Trying my best to get M&A somewhere else as I still have 4-5 months.
Can't tell the name, there are only a handful of PPOs in that team and they will recognise me instantly.
Depends on what part of Navi Mumbai. Ulwe makes a lot more sense than Panvel or Vashi but the latter two are more developed and still resemble the social life of Mumbai. If Ulwe does well, then I see no reason to not
Why is this comment even hosted here. It is stupid, abusive and does not add anything to this thread other than the proof of stupidity of this person.
Last pre was not in 2021 though; and there was a pre in 2023 itself
Why won't people use that futile argument, road tax is literally 10-13% of the vehicle cost, it is literally ROAD TAX.
Nonsense. The fuel savings itself will be equal to the toll.
Salary of

IAS : Rs.56,100/m - Rs. 2.25lpmDistrict Judge : Rs. 1.45lpm - Rs. 2.24lpm
4th year student, interested in the area of gencorp and other corporate allied fields. Please drop your insights on which firms currently have openings or are looking to hire, that are likely to directly hire through PPOs. Pan India. And kindly mention the pay scale. TIA!
Whatever decision you take, always remember life is too short. You never know when it will pass you by and you're left wondering "what if ?" It's never too late to do anything. All the best.
Toll payments are actually fees and not taxes because you're paying it to use the particular road
Congratulations my friend! Life in ECM is the same repetitive stuff for the most part but I hope you find light in whatever you got going on:)))
I engage with it for the sole reason that I can put you in your place. And I would call NLUD the best even in real life, if I were ever asked, unlike you who’d reserve your bitterness for the Internet.
You sound jealous. You must either have a poor knowledge of rules or you’re sad that NLUD still runs good centres. In either which way, grow up.
Would be grateful if you could please share how much K&S is paying for a fresher. There is a real dearth of information.
With a total of 1800 candidates who wrote the examination in the past two years, it’s irrelevant.
Horrible place to work at. Look at their attrition rate to get an idea.
I too am in a same situation. Set to join a firm in July, good pay but still considering whether should I do something else or am I going to die in this rathole of corp firms.
Why this argument is futile? Am I paying taxes only to enable govt to distribute freebies? What benefit am I getting from paying taxes?
Can one transfer from having experience of research work and policy in fintech/ or any other field but has no law firm exp, can one switch to law firm with research exp?
Enjoy this time as much as you can.. fritter it away. Learn some healthy coping mechanisms for high pressure situations
Planning to shift somewhere around Seawoods/Belapur/Kharghar
5th year mein wondering? Also in such a niche practice? Bhai gaadi nikal gayi lagta hai
Thank god the comment section is not taking the BS. Most ridiculous posts by tier 1 firms have cringe comments.
No 19.5 is fixed. But they hire like 5 people a year so does it really matter
What about their deals ? Are their deals any good? Only occasionally do i hear about them so..

Also, how bankable is their name if i later on wish to make a lateral shift to tier 1 ?
I know of folks who gets paid as much as 1 cr for BD profile (head level) at T1 firms.
Hi! One of the Big4s are coming to my college for Business Consulting Risk, what kind of work does this practice do and what can be expected in the interview?
24/F graduated recently. Was from pcmb stream. Did a 5 year law, thinking now that it’s not for me, would it be dumb if I prepare for neet now? Is it too late? I know the answer is yes but either demotivate me or motivate me!
Ira Law is the gold stand in boutique firms in my honest opinion, saying this after having interned there once
