Nothing to brag about in this. I have done this since class 9th till the time my college ended. In college for all those 10 semester, I made most of my projects with this one girl, who used to complete the project and I was just formatting it and submitting it. The girl was way to good looking than me, still she did it, and we were not dating either.

Which batch are you in.

I interned with SAM last month and worked my ass off. (ONLINE). I was given a lot of work and I aced it, evident fron my feedback. However i was denied a callback or extension after calling the HR. I feel really depressed right now knowing it has all gone to water.

Definitely a law student wrote this. In a bad market, a law firm would fire their seniors and hire juniors at a lower pay. And by senior, not SAs, but A2, A3 levels. Look at what Saraf is doing now. Law firms will never have a bad market, they always make money, because it's only consumer bearish now

If you can get T1 internships, go for them. They may hire lesser people, but they'll always make space for people they really like. I say this as someone who got offered a PPO offer at every single T1 firm I interned with, in the current market.

Even in the worst case scenario, references from T1 firms would help your CV far more than some random T3 firms.

alright :)) the ppos in the international law firms were availed by bba or ba this year? https://nlujodhpur.ac.in/placement.php?mn=recruit_report

If Air 8 choosing gnlu is prestigious according to you then air 99 chose mnlu Mumbai then does it also make it a prestigious institution?just because there are domicile seats in nujs that doesn't make it go downhill if it is the case then even nls has a domicile rank up until 450s

Good area to explore but is already dominated by established practitioners and firms. Hard to crack the money-making code for new entrants as almost all the disputes are about the regulator vs. XYS-rich company, which means they only want the lawyers already established in the business and will not try their chances with new ones.

Lol, an actually thought-out and reasoned response for your trollish rant and that's what you take from it. Not surprising that someone like you won't take anything in context. I'll tell you why we're better, kid, it's because we don't produce insecure bitter keyboard warriors like you who defend your own mediocrity. Objectively speaking, our research centres, faculty and diverse student outcomes (from litigation to B-school admits all the way to UPSC) still outshine your NLU's by a mile.

LLMs no longer get hostel facilities at all, both men and women. Hostel for BALLB students is available for people who are not from Delhi NCR. The hostels were initially built to accommodate a batch size of 80 (so 400-450 capacity) for Boys and Girls. NLUD has 120-odd seats now, and the number of guys is more than girls, so there will be paucity of rooms especially for guys. No idea about PhDs, they may get facilities to stay but many stay in Dwarka near the campus, I guess.

All the t1 NLUs have signed a number of MoUs with renowned universities abroad. I saw on NLUD's instagram that they'll be sending eight students to the University of Antwerp next year. Acc to their website they also have MoUs with Harvard, Durham and Uni of Melbourne. NALSAR has agreements with Warwick, KCL, SMU, UNSW, Lucerne, etc. NLSIU has partnerships with Bern, Georgetown and NUS. How many of these programmes are currently active? How many students go abroad on exchange programs every year? I'm assuming only the top 5-10 rankers from each batch get these opportunities?

Apart from giving you a good experience and building character and what not, does spending a semester abroad at a good university add brownie points to your CV? I have the opportunity to choose btwn two t1 nlus this year and would like to factor this into my decision. Thanks!

IPR alone will get you solely through FMCG companies; IP+TMT is the sweet spot for Fintechs, Banks and what not - where the real money lies now. IBC will max get you a FRI (Forensic, Restructuring & Integrity*) team spot at a Big4 or likewise; let alone nil experience in consortium work, project finance and general banking advisory. That being said, a broader bend of expertise will help you bag higher paying positions in-house (without a CS/CA/CFA/MBA/LLM tag) since vacancies are few and market seeks qualifications rather than expertise most of the times.

im a mid looking dude who happens to have a 'catch' of a girlfriend - whenever i see tall and good looking men walk past her, my heart just breaks into pieces cos in my head - i know my gf is imagining them naked - she wont admit it and thats fine but idk mate. so if u ask me, i hate good looking dudes

Hi everyone, I'm a 4th year student at a decent private college and have above average grades and decent internships. What would be better strategy for a person like me - To try interning at T1 firms, with the hopes of getting ppo ( low chances) or doing long term internships at T3ish firms and try to get a PPO (Better chances) and later after some pqe then try for T1s.

Looking at the market, sometimes I feel 2nd option would be better for me because following 1st strategy might leave me unemployed 💀.

PLEASE HELP !! THANK YOU !!

Will LI stop publishing irrelevant threads in 2024?

It’s getting annoying, it made me want to punch a wall the other day and I’m now regularly suffering from a headache. We’re all too old for this and it’s really high time LI better it’s mod policies.

LI makes me unhappy! 😞💔

As a NLUD alum, I agree with this assessment. NALSAR is still better in its law firm placement numbers compared to NLUD, although it may change in future. Still, it's not that hard to get placed from NLUD if you're a reasonably diligent student who's done a few relevant corp internships. On every other front, there's not much to separate the two. Location-wise, NLUD is better placed but there is a temporary hostel room paucity since the batch size increased slightly. That problem won't exist at NALSAR, I guess.

I would like to start a thread asking honest opinions, suggestions and recommendations from seniors in the legal profession. Be it practising advocates, founders of chambers, law firm partners and associates, academicians and other experts.

I am writing this especially for graduates from 2022 and 2023 batches (but I hope it helps future batches as well). Being a member of this group and finding myself dissatisfied with how I am doing career wise, I have seen my peers also find themselves in vicious circle of career dissatisfaction. While some are still struggling to start with a stable role, many are headed to large urban places for litigation and law firms jobs. Others are continuing with their judiciary exam preparations and many more say that they would go for Masters. On the obvious part, mental stress, working hours, no good pay and feeling of being disconnected to family run through every answer. While my schoolmates in other professions also continue to survive the journey, they sing the similar song (though many not explicitly say it) that the discontent with their current position is something that haunt them.

Dear Seniors, what would be some positive things that you would like to say to cheer us up. How do we shed our impatience, get going with the uncertainties around us, assimilate and acclimatise more fluidly at workplace and become more caring, responsible and composite towards not just our near ones but people of various backgrounds around us.

They say these are challenging times to be on the planet, with so much going on. And you all have sailed through such challenges and have a knack of dealing with it. Please throw us some light, vent liveliness and walk us through your journey.

The floor is all yours!!

Campus placements nahi hai. 30-40 bhi nahi. But apne merit ke base pe PPOs lene se kaun rok raha hai tumhe. Internships to mil hi jaayga sls-n me aapko. And yes, I am saying ki 25k se accha 15k earn Karo 2-3 saalo tak cause uske baad litigation se you can earn 25k se kayi zyada if you possess the necessary qualities and mindset. T3 firm me as I said, you will hit a dead end sooner or later.

First, you have no idea on placements at NLUD and that's obvious. Our placements are just fine considering our smaller batch size of 80 and the fact that only half of that chooses to even join the RCC pool. And they've been consistently improving since the first batch graduated in 2013. Anyway, regardless, I don't really care for or see the point of your rant. Students at NLUD simply aren't as obsessed with placements in law firms like the college (NUJS or NALSAR probably) that you graduated from. We can't help it if you have a hard time digesting that fact.

And I thought you guys liked to claim that NIRF was full of sh*t but are now conveniently citing it to show the apparent declining research output. The journals section of the NLUD website alone should give you a reality check that research projects are still ongoing. And the NAAC grade is hardly something anyone cares for when choosing a law school, private unis like Symbi and SRM have A+ grades there. This is all a pointless debate since NLUD is rising and unless it shoots itself in the foot the way NLS did, it'll continue to get better and cement its place as the top law school in the country. And Harpreet Kaur was hardly considered one of the best faculty at NLUD (she's still pretty good for corp and an able admin at NLUJ) and she's on deputation only, the way Bajpai was at RGNUL. So she'll eventually be back. No one likes to leave NLUD since there's hardly any place that is much better, both locationally and academically. But you can keep crying in denial.

Bro both alum bases would give contrary opinions. Being a Nalsar grad my opinion may be coloured as well. But I am 10 years into the profession (and also taking care of recruitment on the side) and there is no metric to prove that NLUD is ahead of NALSAR. I think anyone going into plain **** measuring is just wrong. Since you have the option of NALSAR being in your home state it is a no brainer. One thing is for sure placement wise NALSAR is at the top. The second thing is that career outcome wise your choice will probably not have much difference in outcomes between NALSAR and NLU D or let's say NLS for that matter as long as you perform great in law school. I think overall you are at a position everyone would die to be in.

seen internship applications getting forwarded to the SAs and PAs for filtering out candidates post which they are sent to the Partner for the final heads up in specific teams. Its a weird process which more often than not depends on luck and mood of the people sitting at the top. Nothing is on the HR!

Firstly

BANGALORE = MUMBAI

Back in the day Marathi Language goons used to make a mess in Mumbai for Marathi to be the language used.

Did it succeed? IT was an UTTER FAILURE. Now in Mumbai almost nobody talks Marathi. Hindi is prominent even in Pune and Nagpur.

NOBODY WOULD SPEAK KANNADA IN BANGALORE in the next 20 years.

Fate of Marathi in Mumbai will happen in Bangalore for Kannada.

No amount of language chauvinism can prevent thats from happening. All this kannada language chauvinism is BS.

Next time when BJP comes, they will shut down all Kannada activists and ensure that Hindi will also be respected.

Now all this kannada chauvinism is because of congress and local parties.

thats because thats tax litigation which sometimes goes under the disputes umbrella of work; IDT/DT at firms are solely limited to advisory most of the times with its litigation being outsourced to Counsel or local Solicitors or sometimes intra firm Disputes teams itself. Hope that answers your question!

Female 29 : actually it's not good to be conventionally attractive. Firstly you get hit on a lot. Even from creepy ugly men. Old men. Young ones. Everyone.

If you are a conventionally attractive man, you will get hit on. But you don't get creeped out like we do. You don't have to fear for your life.

Also,

Compared to my other female colleagues people almost always treat me nicely for my good look. Mostly men, but even women treat me nicely because of looks.

My other female colleagues are rarely given the courtesies I am given to.

But is it worth it? Absolutely no. Because good looks can attract creeps and dangerous men.

Fair enough, but let's not keep kidding ourselves. Most people who enter top NLUs on Foreign National or NRI quotas also feel like they probably didn't earn their way in. As much as OP might be just as meritorious in either NALSAR or NLUD, I'd personally take way more pride in having gotten in through the open category especially if I wasn't underprivileged and didn't feel like I deserved the reservation. OP already had a top 200 rank last year and doesn't appear to need the quota to get into a top NLU. So, if he wants to hold his head up a little higher, NLUD on general merit would be a better choice. Now let the Nalsarites start downvoting, but you all know this is true.

Hello! I asked a question about the NLSIU 3-year programme on this forum about a year ago, and most of the responses said that it way too early to tell if it would be successful. I know it's only been one year, but I'm guessing the students have been through a few semesters, one or two cycles of internship recruiting, etc. Have there been any developments in how the programme is viewed? In your opinion, would it be a good idea to pick this programme over more established ones at DU, GLC etc.?

1) Is it offering any means or merit based scholarship to students from poor economic background?

2) How difficult is it get a loan of the entire cost of program? Around 15 lacs.

3) Do banks provide for every expenses in the loan like meal, hostel, clothes, intership costs etc?

This is why no reputed edtech company should work with government universities, they will always screw up something good, even in their own interest, to satisfy small ego and petty politics

LawSikho was started by iPleaders founders post this fall out which is now many times bigger in terms of revenue compared to NUJS

The vast majority of each batch are BA students and BBA students are usually a small group (separates only for their BBA classes though). In terms of performance however BBA students definitely do generally perform better than BA students within their subjects, but the top students of the batch can be of either BA or BBA indiscriminately.

Bottom line is, you can expect to score better in BBA, but BA does not prevent you from being the batch toppers

Your comment shows your blatant political bias. I can equally argue that Kapil Sibal and AMS have made ridiculous arguments while defending scam-tainted politicians. So does it mean we should cancel them?

Also, what’s so wrong in what the VP said? Even very respected scholars have criticised judicial activism.
