Well, it was for me a big deal. I have to put a lot of hours into it over 2 years to get that score. I don't know about science. But, I know one fact CBSE gives a lot of marks to their students even if their answers are not that good.

I am not saying that you're from CBSE or something. Just saying for a fact.

Lastly, vernacular medium education is tough.

I agree.

I am Pro-BJP/Modi and my family has supported BJP since Jan Sangh days while my GF is Anti-BJP/Modi and her family has supported INC since Nehru days. In fact, her grandfather was an INC office-bearer and a committed Nehruvian. However, we don't try to rub our political views on each other's faces unnecessarily and incessantly. We respect the opposite view.

We don't share political ideology, yet, both of us have similar liking for most things, ranging from food to places to people to movies. We are really very happy together and see each other as partners for life.

Alyssa Rose Ivy has said, “Not everything in life is black and white. Sometimes the best parts are gray. Just remember that not everything can fit into one your neat little boxes.”

Haha, must say this is the most hilarious depiction of a firm’s practice. On a serious and more genuine note, most of the good/big firms are champions and market leaders in particular practice area/s whilst still being decent in others. Be it S&R for capital markets or even the likes of AZB in M&As or may be the old NDA for their erstwhile funds practice. So nothing wrong in that. Let their one champion area not overshadow several others where they are rapidly growing and making a good name too. But yes Funds practice does clearly stand out for now so go for it if you get a chance. Good luck

Please join it. One door will open the other, and it will be easy for you to switch/jump places after 1-2 year. Also, post 1-2 PQE, you also will be able to join BFSI team of any big firm. Keep that in mind all these big companies have T-1/2 law firms in their retainer. If you know networking, you can easily ask for entry in that firm as well. All depends on how you capitalise on the opportunity. Fintech startups are all pumped up, there will be many opportunities in the future in this industry. Just keep an open mind, and try to evaluate all the opportunities you have at the moment.

Have an internship commencing in a couple of days, this is my First ever Corp internship (at a t1). What do I need to know before I go there? Can anyone tell me what are the basic tasks that one gets at a corp internship, I have heard words like due dilligence, mapping, redlining etc. But what does it all exactly entail? Would really appreciate some help over here

That variety exists in every NLU. The places from where NUJS alumni have done their MBA from include Wharton, Columbia, Yale, Texas McCombs School of Business, London Business School, Ivey Business School, NYU, Duke University, INSEAD, IMD Lausanne, Ohio State University, York University, Georgetown, Cornell University, University of Virginia, Boston University, University of Toronto, NUS, UNSW, IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Calcutta, to name a few. And these are only people whom I personally know of. There are bound to be more alumni. The trolls here display their ignorance with every passing comment, including the idiots below.

This is a blatant lie. There are many NUJS alumni who have cracked UPSC and are decorated officers, many who have done MBAs from several IIMs and abroad. As for higher studies, after NLS, NUJS happens to be the next NLU from where alumni have won the highest number of foreign scholarships over the years including Rhodes, Chevening, Gates Cambridge etc. and certainly the highest number of academic positions all over the country. So jealous anon trolls on LI and their opinions don't really matter.

The cut-off rank hardly matters for the universities, especially since it depends on personal prejudice, which in turn is influenced by social media coverage among the current generation more than anything else. There is very little qualitative difference between AIR Rank 100 and 300, just 2-3 minutes of bad decision on a given day. For example, you wrote that you had flunked AILET. Now if somehow you get a chance to join NLUD, would you refuse it thinking that you are 'unworthy' of studying there? That's not how it works at all. Your or anyone else's potential as a future legal professional is not contingent upon their performance in these stupid MCQ exams that are hardly useful in figuring out the legal aptitude of students.

If you think that you're better off in terms of career choice to NLUJ, GNLU or NLIU, then please feel free to go there. If you do decide to remain at NUJS, as many students have decided too over the years, then you would still have access to all the opportunities that matters to a law student. I won't troll you about your choice or decision here, because that's a personal choice that's best left to the student themselves, and doing otherwise is immaturity. However, I would advise you to talk to people in the industry or academia before making your final choice, and not merely your contemporaries who are unlikely to have knowledge about pretty much anything at all about law universities, their activities or potential.

What ridiculous advice! NLUJ is by no means better than NUJS. Anyone who is misleading students like this ought to be called out. Someone may like the hostels or may not. However, the legal industry as a whole still considers NUJS and its students a safe bet and that's what really counts, not anon trolls on LI.

I just red a link din post by a SC Adv, inviting applications for freshers with barely any experience, from non-nlu and from marginalized backgrounds a pay of 8-10 LPA. Not to mention, a lot of ppl applied on the same too. Do these seniors enjoy sarcastically mocking our sorry condition like adding salt to the wound by making these outlandish claims? I mean who tf is he trying to fool anyway come on.

There are several factors at play:

1. Growth rate

2. Potential of future growth

I can see from DRHP that several stalwart investors have invested in pre-IPO including Ramesh Damani

If they are getting listed then that is because a merchant banker was willing to bet on them, and an underwriter was willing to underwrite the issue

And for issue to go through anchor investors (FPI/FII/funds) have to put in money

Lawsikho has reported 3.25 crores of profit before tax / 2.5 crores profit after tax in 22-23. There would be thousands of small businesses who have profits higher than that and even they won't get listed. Don't understand how is law sikho doing an IPO? That too at a 200 cr valuation? Lamo

Maybeeeee this is a PR strategy and it looks like it is working very well.....damn!

My rank is in the borderline 190s and I am regretting my decision to put nujs above nalsar. Although with this rank, I couldn’t achieve nalsar anyhow, but by the fifth list there could’ve been a chance. I talked to a few acquaintances and I hate the hostels. It isn’t as prestigious as well. I flunked the ailet exam too. The vacancy lists and the fifth list are 4-5 months away. Till then, I am waiting for NLUJ/gnlu/NLIU… my question is: - is there any way I can get NALSAR with this rank?

Quite surprisingly which haunted me is the fact that unlike up other NLUs which improved their merit game this year, NUJS cut-off already crossed AIR 262 in the first list when last year it was 251 in the fifth list (source: - Consortium).

Buddy, if you are the one who also made the initial comment "they can't afford... filing though" and now commenting this, trust me, you know nothing about cap marks. At best, you are a 2nd - 3rd law student spewing your half baked knowledge on LI under the grab of anonymity.

KCO is not the firm people look for their cap marks shit, it's usually S/CAM, Indus and S&R, then comes KCO JSA and the likes.

S&R too has good IPOs, their recent big shot was Tata Tech where they acted for BRLMs.

And your statement, "Indus however does not disclose itself in the offer docs" in your initial comment is res ipsa loquitur for your knowledge and understanding of cap marks.

As the VC announced, the university is spreading to 200 acres and a new medical college and dentistry college are planned. I'm just wondering whether these could ultimately take the spotlight away from JGLS? There is a mad rush to study medicine in India. People pay 1 cr fees to send their children to rubbish colleges or go to places like Ukraine, China etc. So, if Jindal charges 80 lakhs or so and offers good faculty, I guess many parents could send their children there and the revenue could ultimately outstrip JGLS? Also, whereas law schools are always judged by "placements" it doesn't work like that in medicine.

Now, all this while JGLS has been dominating Jindal. Will it eventually play second fiddle?

I am a student from one of the top private colleges in the country. I was part of its student body for the year. Suddenly on one day, I was forced to leave. The faculty were down right abusive to me and I have proof alongside audio recording. The senior faculty who was supposed to assist me, did nothing. This affected me till now, but I want to speak up. is there something that could be done?

Here's my email ID, if someone can assist.

Litigation is worst if you are 1st gen lawyer and from not so established law school (mediocre college) . Max pay for 1st gen is avg 15-k that is for delhi mumbai and other big cities max to max 25-30k. Litigation is best for established people who are coming from big or higher class family who can sustain themselves for few starting 5-7 year. Established people/ multi gen of Lawyer can get east entry into established senior's chambers

1. General Banking - This shall include term loan facilitation advisory, due diligence and consortium financing exercises which shall also include 2, 3, 4 and 5; since its a broad umbrella which consists of everything under the sun. Most of the firms have demarcations between GB teams and PF teams, so choose your whatever fits your needs (margins in GB teams are very high unlike PF ones).

2. Project Finance - This shall include churning out O&M agreements, markups on high yield loans for construction, port docketing diligence, seeking regulatory approvals, stressed asset acquisitions and real estate documentation. To outperform in this space, knowledge on real estate and finance shall be of utmost importance. Since very few firms put in quality work with very low margins, avoid it.

3. Fintech - DPDP compliance with specialized financial products of Banks/Fintechs/others and doing filing work for exemptions/mandatory disclosures, vetting joint ventures with technology companies and setting up privacy policy structures from time to time. Margins in this space is high because of a lot of foreign investment into financial companies to set up new schemes/products/credit facilities every now and then. Understanding the interplay between finance and tech will be deemed essential and margins are high in this space.

4. Debt Capital Markets - Although mundane and primarily focus would be on NCD/bond issuances & S4A offerings. The margin involved is very less and not a lot of firms are doing quality work. Thus, it can be avoided from a long term growth perspective.

5. Restructuring - This will include pre litigation and mid litigation advisory on high stake insolvency cases, arbitrations involving recovery of solvency proceeds and debt financing work for structuring the overall capital of companies. Very very low margin and can be avoided from a long term growth perspective.

Hope this adds weight to your question at hand, best of luck!

KCO does not undercut kiddo. My ex collegues work at BOFA Securities and told me that KCO and CAM bill towards the higher side in IPOs. The only firms undercutting are IndusLaw, Trilegal and SAM; S&R rarely picks up quality IPOs but they are active on the 144A international offerings space. Every difficult Banker in the likes of Ambit, Morgan Stanley or Equirus would prefer KCO or CAM for big ticket work with Indus being in the next tier along with SAM and the likes. Don't bark if you don't know stuff, you seem like someone who just got an internship at Indus.

As a current student at NLS, let me remind you that being a student of a top university does not guarantee anything nor is it an indicator of anything. I know people who struggle with the syllabus here and who will probably not get placed. There are innumerable people from lower ranked NLUs as well as TLCs who have had exceptional careers. Please stop trying to belittle people on the basis of which University they are in.

7. There are few more people who are going to join Ivy League MBA colleges in the upcoming academic session, so I won't name them for obvious reasons.

Can you please mention which type of legal career NALSAR grads excel in that doesn't have NUJS grads too? Because be it litigation, policy body work, academics, management, entrepreneurship, civil services, lower judiciary, there is no type of career that does not have NUJS grads having chosen and excelling in that too. It is quite surprising to see so many people commenting on matters here that they don't appear to have any clue about. Perhaps that's why they remain anon.

I have an internship coming up in a law firm. How do I make the best out of it. What do they mean by "good work"? Am I supposed to know everything about the field I am going to work in beforehand? Should I underpromise and overdeliver? Should I ask for help or not? How proactive can I get?

To the Malabar hill lawyer, I too live in Malabar hill and have often contemplated going down this path and living an easier life than corporate law. Any tips on getting started i.e. taking stocks seriously? Presently just a conservative long term investor, very comfortable but not earning income close to any T1 equity partners. Any courses? Books you like?

Idk about the IPO but their aggressive marketing is really annoying. Its impossible to play a video on YouTube without that Mukherjee guy telling me how indian lawyers can practice in Canada or some pretentious nonsense like that.

And mods, please don't ban me lol, ik they have a legal team that slaps defamation notices left, right and centre but please show some courage.

Nls this nls that bhai trimester system me ghis ke 16lpa ka job lele pehle. Baaki personality development to bhool hi ja.
