The charade continues. The students who failed to get themselves registered for more courses are now making more memes because they could not have their own way with the registration, or manipulate the results like they used to. Comically, the meme makers are even trying to take the credit for the new courses, as if the courses did not get decided earlier and it's their antics that caused this. Basically, there is a group consisting of ex and current CCC members who are angry at having lost the power which they had been abusing and hence would do anything to remain relevant. They can't even frame a sentence in English properly, but consider themselves meme experts. These are the CLAT-crackers who expect the best jobs on graduation.

Friends, if you did not know that this was the reason for the vacant seats, because Reserved seats cannot be transferred to General category students, and there is nothing called General category, only Open for all, then, I mean..

When free, read VisionIAS current affairs magazine. Freely available. Will be eye opening.

Thank you!

Try for both & if clear than would suggest give preference to judicial service (especially for DJS) because -

1. Salary, Allowances & Perks (post 2njpc)

2. Career progression

3. Dyanmic work culture (court/deputations)

4. post retirement scopes & benefits

5. Reputation, status, value

Are far better than SEBI. My father's friend is working in SEBI (right now in Grade C) he once told me that everyear number of employees resign for govt services (mostly for Judicial Service (post 2njpc) for salary, promotion & post-retirement scopes & working hours, etc).

Salary & perks are not big issues but the major concern at the SEBI right now is weak career progression, you'll find very tough to reach even at Grade D level but in judiciary atleast there is very high chance that one can get retire form DJ (STS) grade even if he become Magist. at the age of 35-40 & if join early then high chance to HC & if add luck then to Chief justice rank or SC.

First try for both, thereafter take counselling & choose according to your interest.

Sir you are very misinformed. MBA interns are actually assessed and introduced to core subjects rather than the basic research and due diligence even a 1st yr student can do. Heck even a school going student can. But why don't you try doing a virtual experience program in Finance.

Bhai toh naya chiz thodi paida kar dega woh. It is like the Indian Constitution - When Dr. Ambedkar was accused of copying the Constitution from 11+ countries he replied in Constituent Assembly Debates -

What the scope of a Constitution should be has long been settled. Similarly, what are the fundamentals of a Constitution are recognized all over the world. Given these facts, all Constitutions in their main provisions must look similar. The only new things, if there can be any, in a Constitution framed so late in the day are the variations

made to remove the faults and to accommodate it to the needs of the country.

For now, just keep your head down, and try to maximise whatever little is provided here. The student body is supportive enough if you're willing to put yourself out there, and there's a growing number non-native students to help the diversity (idk if that's fortunate or unfortunate). With respect to the professors, sometimes there's an issue of the mode of instruction, they often provide English translations as a favour to those who don't follow the native language and not just as a general norm (I was also asked to learn Malayalam, in class hehe which I guess is reasonable to an extent), but it's still manageable.

A senior had once exclaimed how at NUALS at least we learn how to thrive in the wild- so there you go, something to take away from it all.

Bhai dekh, 2 kaam kar-

1. NLS nikal le. You might, might get into good law firms and then earn money. Very difficult (around 40 Open seats for General Non Karnataka Male). I don't think DU LLB has any placements. It is good, but, job-wise, I don't think so. Most people who are there are actually preparing for CSE and do it side by side.

2. MPP in USA me ghus ja. Waha pe 1st year ke baad, top univ me dual degree ka bhi option aata hai. But, give the LSAT before hand. It is comparatively easier, as they have to take some dual degree people. JD Degree is valid in India (I think).

3. NLU O also has started their 3y program. Apply there.

Dream route -

4. J-PAL type (under Prof Esther Duflo or Prof Abhijit Banerjee) evidence-based policy making or Yale Inclusion Economics India centre me ghus ja. Kaam kar 5y. Rise through the ranks. Get good recommendations from foreign Profs (Yale has Stanford Profs too). Now apply to Harvard Kennedy School. Get in. Now after 1st year apply to Dual Degree in law.

And finally become a Harvard JD wala Lawyer. Some people from DU have done it. Search on Linkedin, HLS, HKS.

One thing which I think finally is happening is the Masters education in India is slowly (and ineptly) to some extent, getting some meat. I mean all independent India's new institutions had undergrad as their focus and their masters was neglected, underfunded and not really up to the mark.

But, slowly, the Masters and PhD side is picking up. People are doing MTech, PhD from these colleges. And the market too is accepting the Masters from IITs as, if not equivalent, but, better than other Masters' degrees.

So, it is a good thing. Hopefully, the Masters/PG courses will improve in the next 20y and then finally, our PhD programmes and research will shoot up.

JLN. Thanks bro! It took 75y+ to see your dreams come to fruition.

the admin does not care at all, and the situation is horrible for females students. thriving sexual harassment culture without any support from collegemates or faculty, hostel administration that barge into your rooms after 11pm to take "attendance" loool .....representations are sent every year but who even cares? the ex-registrar is rumoured to run the entire university, everyone are like his goondas, the student welfare in charge is a creep like half the guys here. this is no NLU, tier-2 or 3, this is just a private state university... it's sad bcs there is extremely high potential for this place to grow. the mooting scene is getting much better placements may be looking up and some of the professors are brilliant. but overall this university is hell!!

Protect law and legal education? As in become guardians of it? I think NLUs should first, at least try becoming Institute of National Importance. A good way and comparatively easy way to influence the govt. would be to reach the top echelons of power by cracking the UPSC CSE exam. More NLU lawyer bureaucrats, more govt. ministers influenced by their advice.

This might, in turn, increase the funding of NLS too. (NLS has a funding of Rs. 20 crore). Link - https://www.nls.ac.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/NLSIU_2018-19_Financial-Statement.pdf

So, influence the netas.

We keep them at bay. We don't include them in most of the things. We will never give position of responsibility to them in any student run committee. Though our VC will push us to give them positions and include them, they cannot get it due to technicalities involved. For e.g., to be a convenor of any society you need 4 years of experience, and we don't appoint anyone as convenor in their final year. LLB peeps will have at best 2 years of experience.

We have created a tactic agreement among ourselves (5 year UG course) to shun them off diplomatically and never let them feel the same. Saanp bhi kar jaayega, aur laathi bhi nhi tutegi.

Regarding placement, our college can't even place people from 5 year batch properly, 3 year is a distant dream.

Moreover, most of these 3 year chaps are stupid at core, they have nothing in their academic life and have pathetic inter-personal skills, so they themselves can't survive the competition in placements from 5 year UG course.

- A final year NLUOite.

Why the down votes? This spoke the truth. Apart from a few known universities or the home university, every other universities PhD is overlooked. Unless you have a stellar professor that everyone knows or you have publications that are out of this world. You'll be judged based on your knowledge. The university is limited to IITs, IIMs, JNU, AMU, NLS, NALSAR, NLUD.

If you really care about working in financial technology sector (other than being fascinated by it since FinTech valuations were over the top for the last few years), then ultimately it will be the best to work in-house in a decent FinTech start-up where you will be working on their products (plural). You need to join a company which isn't too large where you will get to work on only one product - you want to work in a Series A to Series C start-up range, since they will be innovating and at the same time will have a lean team, and hence you will work across products and teams and working closely with senior product managers, finance folks, and the founder.

FinTech is not a sector where you gain anything by working on operational / product agreements, if all you want is to be able to work on FinTech M&As. This isn't like insurance, for example, where your M&A representations get impacted by esoteric regulations, which you won't ordinarily work with. FinTech companies get impacted mostly by basic RBI lead statutes / regulations and privacy / information technology act (and this is a more recent concern). You may also need to know some regulations which affect banks if your countarparty are banks, especially if you are working under the umbrella of the bank's core banking software. Often, you will know more banking regulations than the idiots working for the bank.

What you want to learn in FinTech is how technologies or processes work and whether those intersect or breach law and how those need to be tweaked for any number of reasons. Often RBI's regulations are meant for one use-case but your product gets caught in its net unwittingly - and how do you work in those situations. That is where "Fin" meets "Tech" and it is this intersection which is both interesting and can be fairly unique.

As a jgls student, I disagree. Jindal's absolute placements barely match the top 5-7 NLUs except miracle 2023 batch where CAM hired 44. And these are ABSOLUTE numbers and our batch sizes are 6-7x or even more of NLUs so imagine the percentage of placements, even if half batch doesnt want a job, the ratio is still 10% or less than that placed in jobs that pay 15+

Ek important chiz sabhi log gaur kare. No one, literally no one ever talks about the NLU Odisha 3y LLB programme on LI. Saari ladai NLS 3y LLB ke paksh-vipaksh me hai. Abe usko bhi gaali do kam se kam. Aisa kyun hai ki sirf ek ko gaali de rahe hai sab? Kaha hai NLU O BALLB wale.

Kahi yeh equality & equity ke difference ka example toh nahi?

Two of the top EPs at an old Gurgaon T1 (Jxx) have a years long fling going on and both their teams know about it. They think nobody knows but the whole firm knows about it because they keep flying off to Goa together and think noone will find it out. Floors 3 and 4 have a lot to gossip about because of this.

wow you really thought you did something huh?? all your comment proves is:

>people don't show up for these events (because the SAC is damn unpopular)

>exemptions are given to people for committees they're not a part of (which is a major allegation and the reason why teachers have been against the SAC)

>they're skipping classes to organise nonsense like valentine's day (why would a student committee be needed for this??)

Knew what exactly? That firms take people through contacts? Absolutely groundbreaking insight on your part. This person's internship has nothing to do with the college since their rcc hasn't even opened applications for SAM till now. If you want to go down that route, pull up everyone who get in through other means, including the ones in your own program.

God so cringe omg, such a "you will never know the epic highs and lows of high school football" level comment, you should be embarrassed of yourself. Not you expecting applause for missing law of evidence classes to organise valentine's day. Do you also provide a helping hand or do the students have to bring their own?

NLUs/Stephen's/SRCC/IIMs/IITs are not "good" because they have exceptional faculty, infrastructure, or resources. It's only because they take in filtered students who are likely to do well even without the university. That's precisely how selectivity helps them retain their brand value. Network is all that matters in this case. Mr. Shamnad Basheer too had discussed this aspect in one of his lectures on YouTube.

For higher studies, NLUD. It has much better faculty to help with recommendations, publications etc. than Nalsar. The slew of recent top scholarships proves that and the alumni base is getting more established year on year. NALSAR has definitely stagnated a bit on these fronts but they have the older alumni advantage and are still neck and neck with NLUD on most parameters otherwise.

Bro can you tell market realities ?

You are just shitting from your mouth.

My brother is a senior associate in trilegal and he says majorly nlu tag matters not the course you are doing .

Recruiters will just see your interships and college grades

Same has happened with nliu too there bsc llb and ba llb students both get placed.

Any degree from tier 1 nlu is worth doing

VC is Venture Capital which as the name suggests invests money in early growth startups for funding their growth and expansion in return for equity. Eg. - SAIF Partners (now Elevation Capital) investing money in MakeMyTrip making multiple times result.

The thesis behind VC is power law, where they invest in 10 companies with hopes that at least one of them will be multi-bagger helping them offset losses from investment in other companies in the portfolio. VC when investing in startup mostly looks at the problem space, product and the founders rather than growth or revenue (atleast it was the case in 2021)

PE stands for Private Equity. This is investment done at late stage of company. The PE funds companies that have proven themselves and are at late stage of growth. Companies like KKR, Warburg Pincus are some famous PE companies. Warburg Pincus had invested in Airtel back in 2017.

One of the key difference between VC and PE is the stage at which they invest in the company.

In the next 40 odd years of your career you will face worse situations where undeserving mediocre people will get ahead of you, even when you are clearly more deserving. Your bosses/seniors will say even more brazen things than “I don’t care about your placements”. You will have an uncertain future ahead of you several times in your lives. You will just have to get up, dust yourselves and get on with your lives. Thats’s the reality. If you don’t have the power to change a situation, work around it. No point crying in front of a closed door. You can rant all you want. In the end you will have to move on. When I’m in such a situation, I generally dedicate 1 whole day for crying. Next day onwards back to the grind. Hope this helps. I do empathise with your situation. But as Captain America says- "you've gotta move on" :)

I am a lawyer working in General Corporate and TA domain . For a long time, everyone kept saying that I should pursue the Company Secretary course as it adds value if I wanted to go into corp. However, Since I was from arts background, I never had any inclination towards it (if it was a necessity). now I feel that It is actually necessary to clear some groups of CS, otherwise, there is a deadlock after some point. is CS absolutely necessary or is there any other option as well (i'm from non-nlu clg)

P

"What’s more likely is the exam pattern favours people who come from a certain background as it involves subjective, short-answer and essay type questions."

Kind of like UPSC CSE mains, or State PCS mains? Kind of like something prepared for by 10 lakh+ aspirants and with innumerable coaching material? Still, it favours people from X background.:|

1. The inherently better quality of faculty at both JGLS and NLSIU is a carefully nurtured myth, especially for JGLS where most of the faculty are freshers without any teaching experience or publication or research cred, only with a foreign LLM. In both of these places, the student numbers have increased so much that many students are deprived of the opportunity to study under the good faculty who are there.

2. Walking into career opportunities? The figures state otherwise. At JGLS, less than 10% students get placed, and the huge fee does not really justify the infra and other facilities. What you deliberately didn't mention is that the children of all the bigshots still sit for CLAT and AILET. When they can't crack either, that's when they go to JGLS. Hence there are similar students elsewhere including at the NLUs, just better in terms of quality.

3. Won't comment about Ashoka for the simple reason that only the ignorant try to compare law schools with non law schools.

Not very helpful. You could have perhaps said something contributory, instead of wasting your time writing this. I will learn as I write more papers in the next four years, but I don't want my hard work to go to waste this time. I want to get something tangible out of this activity.

Would it be possible to just stop all this nonsense? Contrary to popular opinion, no one important is reading whatever lies everyone is writing about everyone else in the hopes of being the one that comes out on top. I won't specify my program for fear of more trolling from both sides but the vast majority of both batches don't give a shit. Please get a life, get a start on your submissions or studying for the exams. You are collectively contributing to the college looking like a joke. Grow up everyone (regardless of age)

Ashoka recently got a ₹250 crore donation. It has done what none of the state NLUs can do, and yet our NLU fanboys and girls on this platform find excuses on why state NLUs cannot do that, and how Ashoka is leveraging its connections to get such donations. The fanboys and girls will just not accept that state NLUs are simply unable to do well and the NLUs' best days are behind them, their downslide has already begun.

I'm convinced TT&A don't even open applications. I got rejection email in 6 minutes after sending my application. The email said "We have reviewed your application and we regret to inform you we're unable to make you an offer at the moment". I'm pretty sure my CV was not even opened!

Crazy to say stuff like this while being on the outside and not actually dealing with the admin who plans on cancelling events on the day. Even after having multiple successful events last sem saying they couldn't arrange a "tea party". Yeah sure maybe thats why people literally were breaking doors to attend an event.

Why does campus/infra matter so much? In any case, NLUD is good enough, has a lot of room in the girls' hostels and has great classrooms and is right next to a huge mall and a metro station on Delhi's main line. It's also close enough to Gurgaon and will be closer with the expressway.

Lmao are you saying that the law firms in band 3 couldn’t afford to buy the rankings ? Bro these bands are accorded as per client reviews. Not everything is bought w money. If you’re not a BD associate and don’t know how award submissions work, I’d request you to zip up. Thanks!

Although a new post of Placement Officer has been created to promote the batch, the SWO herself seems to be working solely to promote the interests of that batch. When you promote LLB at the cost of BALLB, you are no longer a Student Welfare Officer- you are reduced to LLB Welfare Officer.

If you think there are only a small number of people in the Ballb batch who are frustrated with Sudhir and literally hate your batch, then you need to interact with more Ballb students my friend. People are pissed with you because of the unfair favour that is being meted out to the LLB batch which is costing us big time. The fact that the SWO barged in during Day 0 interviews to promote the LLB batch is a significant thing and warrants appropriate response from all of us. We have worked much harder than you to get in here, and have been working harder ever since. If our batchmates secure internships at firms, I feel proud even if I don't get shortlisted, because I know how hard those guys have worked. But with your batch, the issue is even the most mediocre ones are getting opportunities at our cost because the admin is literally bending over backwards to ensure that you get internships. You were helped by senior crim law professor to secure internships in the beginning of your second years. This has never been done for the BALLB batch. What have you guys literally done in one year of your law school that you get to intern in T1s when far more hardworking and deserving students don't simply because of admin politics. In fact, while teaching the current 4th Year BALLB, the VC had apparently said that he did not care about their placements. Just imagine the brazenness of the statement while he goes out of his way to ensure that LLB batch gets more and more opportunities at our cost.

Out of all the batches that are currently there in NLS, the 2026 BALLB batch arguably consists of the most hardworking and smart bunch of students (and this has been acknowledged by many professors). Like someone else pointed out, this batch alone has earned crazy accolades in terms of moots, ADRs, publications and what not. But still, uncertain future looms large for them curtsey the admin's hypocrisy in actively promoting a much mediocre LLB batch. Had it been a fair competition, you would have seen what does it mean to get smoked.

Get this- the Day the admin stops actively promoting you and actually creates a fair ground for competition, the BALLB will show you its mettle. And if any of you LLB guys want to respond, make a logical to the points I made here.
