As someone who has gone in-house at a senior level in a fintech, I would be happy to hire a talent trained in the banking industry. The only problem is that the law firm system trains you in many other areas- negotiating skills, formatting and hygiene, and just general people skills are sharpened significantly better in a good law firm practice.

I do think you’ll have a good way to enter the B&F team if you go in house and actually work on key matters with the GC, but you are stuck in the industry.

Rmlnlu vs nluo

On the basis of placement, internship opportunities, academics, hostel and campus life, fest and which nlu be ahead by the time I pass out from any of these nlu in the year 2029

Please help me I have been allotted rgnul bt I have chances of getting these two nlu in my 2nd and 3rd list so please help me I have no plans for judiciary bt only corporate

Hi.

I gave CLAT PG for admission in LLM course in India. I have been allotted NALSAR in first round of allotment today. I might get into NLS with my rank. Which institution would be good considering goal of entering into academics? Whether I should exercise float option or confirm NALSAR?

I hope people appreciate the fact that NLUJ has become a haven for dimwits who were gathering, grovelling, and going gaga around a constitutional functionary (the VP) who was visiting to deliver a lecture. This is a man who has openly denounced judicial review and the doctrine of basic structure while extrapolating the doctrine of parliamentary supremacy which is a creature of the Westminster system which we do not follow beyond the basics.

Any law student/lawyer worth their salt would know that India has never even remotely considered the idea of parliamentary supremacy since it goes against the spirit of constitutionalism which has evolved here since Independence, critical to which is judicial review. Despite that, they applauded and grovelled near the guest. These students at NLUJ are not only without a speck of brains, but also lack any self-esteem and self-respect.

Insta reels se earn karne ke liye you will have to invest a lot of your time and various other resources. Isse accha you can adopt a different hobby to generate a side income. Aisa hobby jo tumko freelance karne ka opportunity dede and maybe law me tumhara interest bhi continued rakhe.

Hey, I got AIR 900 in clat and have been alloted nlu sonipat because it was my 5th preference being from Delhi. Is nlu sonipat worth it? Provided the locational benefits, and they’ve now got a permanent faculty plus the internship cell is pretty active. Shall I look for other options or go for it. Kindly suggest

Regards

I came from pure science background. Honestly did not face much problem, although that could have been because I used to read Livemint and Fin Express from 1st year onward and look up investopedia etc for terms that I could not get. We also had a faculty who was very helpful for any doubt or query outside classes too.

Before the trolls start pouring in, let me just bring you up to speed as a recent alumna. The hostel scene is not ideal. There are dorms, yes. There is one flat that is at times given to girl students (about 10 people), at times to LLMs, it would be great if you can get it. It does get a bit cramped until you get rooms in second year onward. It's not terrible though, functional. I came from a middle class fam, so could cope because my priorities were grades and studying. Most of the studying can be done in the library, which is literally a stone's throw away. The library AC was malfunctioning in my final year for some time, probably got fixed by now. The seniors will be helpful if you accord basic respect to them and are polite. Don't expect very comfy or luxurious acco. It can get during peak summer months, as there is no AC facility in the hostel. Please invest in a good mattress and a mosquito net (don't rely upon repellent only, it can be bad for your health upon prolonged use). If you are joining the BSc batch, then you would be better off as their hostels are much better, though away from the main campus. Mess food is okay, nothing exceptional but not bad either, plenty of variety throughout the week. You can always Swiggy in food, plenty of good places all around. I did not do so more than once a week though, as I was financing my way through the course and finances used to be tight. Hope you enjoy your time here or wherever you end up joining. Best of luck!

Hi, I have been reading articles on indiacorplaw. Recently read an article on SEBI , written by a Third Year student but it was so technical. I am not well versed with corporate and commercial laws (yet). Should I read and memorize sebi acts and rules , and company law before even thinking to write articles?

I got AIR 900 in clat and my 7th preference was nlu sonipat. I got that in the first list. Please suggest me is it worth going into? Provided the locational benefits, they’ve recently got a permanent faculty as well, plus their internship cell is active. Will I be stereotyped in the future that I am from such an nlu?

Regards

1) BSW as a stream used to be looked down upon. Not sure how it is anymore. BSW is the easiest stream and BA is arguably the toughest of the lot. Streams are allotted on the basis of your CLAT rank, i.e, if you have a higher rank you are more likely to get the stream of your choice.

2) Girls hostel has a mix of single occs and double occs. As a first year you will most likely get a double occ. All girls hostel rooms have attached washrooms.

3) Library is great. Quite big and will have most of the books that you need. However, you will never get the book you want because somebody else would've already taken it so figure out the online library system ASAP.

4) Not an issue. If you speak Hindi you will be just fine.

No real tips. You have 5 years on the campus so you will learn everything you have to in due course of time. Just try to be as involved as possible in all the activities in your first 2 years so that you can really figure out what you want to do from the third year onwards. There is no dearth of opportunities and most people end up never utilising the resources. Try and befriend some seniors (most of us are more than happy to help you) in order to help you navigate through the first year or so. That's about it. Good luck and look forward to seeing you on campus!

Hey,

So I came across the fact that certain persons can can claim TDS paid at the end of the financial year.

As you know, most corp law jobs are considered a retainership position and a TDS of 10% is deducted on gross salary for rendering professional services. (Section 194J of Income Tax Act).

1. However I'm confused whether a person earning more than 5L can claim 100% TDS by filing his ITR at the end of the year?

2. Also this 5L amount threshold for eligibility is gross or net (after TDS deduction)

Would appreciate a clarification on this doubt and any sources to read upon,

Thanking you

@Mod: That is accurate indeed. One of my relatives was there and he got the degree from the pro-VC. The Governor is the one responsible for playing with the interests of the students here, as has been all BJP-appointed governors in the state. The state government has a lot to answer for too.

It's a myth that commerce students find it way easier, we are just more comfortable with the terms and have heard them before, doesn't mean we know better. The most daunting thing are the terms which often sound too complicated and alien when in reality its really just hyped up. I would suggest don't beat yourself up for this just start reading up on basic concepts like balance sheet, financial statements, etc and those daunting terminologies from websites like investopedia, you'll start feeling more comfortable

Hello! I have been allotted GNLU in the first allotment list, it would be really helpful if anyone could clear some of my queries!

1) How are the streams allotted here? My preference would be BA>BSW>BBA>BCOM

2) how’s the situation in the girls hostel? Are rooms double sharing or triple sharing?

3) how’s the library there?

4) Being a non-gujarati speaking individual, would it create any hindrance in local life in Gujarat?

And if there is any other tip, things to know, be aware or wary of? Please let me know!

Thank you! Have a nice day ahead!

Not sure about how good I look since everyone has a different standard [I am the most handsome guy according to my mom, sister and ex-girlfriend], but if you are in the age bracket of 20s-40s, dressing well and sounding mature will almost guarantee an emergency exit row seat.

If they don't do it on their own, you can politely request. I don't remember the last time I sat in a non-emergency row exit seat.

By dressing well, I mean - non flashy, ironed and clean clothes (including Footwear).

I'm a significantly good-looking guy. It doesn't really help, most women my age are either already taken or get intimidated by me, the rest are too boring for me to be interested in them. The small minority that is interested in me just wants something casual or unserious, which I don't do.

Take the scholarship, keep up your studies, maintain your focus and do side gigs to make some money (freelancing, CLAT coaching etc.), finish your course, take a Day Zero firm job, work for a couple of years while saving money and then go off for litigation. It is a career decision taken by many. You may even like litigating for a firm. It is more steady money, though growth scope will be limited until you strike off on your own.

p.s. I am one of those who had commented about IDIA in your earlier post.

1. M&A (Highly Profitable)

2. DR/ARB (Highly Profitable)

3. B&F (Highly Profitable)

4. Competition (Depends on M&A activity, only profitable at the top firms)

5. I&R (Very low margin, only profitable at the top firms)

6. Capital Markets (Very low margin, only profitable at the top firms)

7. Project Finance (Very low margin, only profitable at the top firms)

8. Indirect Tax (Very low margin, only profitable at the top firms)

9. Direct Tax (Low margin overall)

10. IP/TMT (Low margin overall)

Do you comment on the political space in the country? By your logic, you should not have the right to comment on the functioning of the government cuz clearly, they have decades of experience in administration. The ones commenting may be 2nd or 3rd year law students in NLS but they have the right to talk about the law school admin cuz it directly affects their life and future career.

Lol, trust a troll to downvote a city because he does not like the ruling party in the state. Kolkata is still the safest of all metros in the country, has got a low cost of living including public transport and acco, great food scene, some very helpful and good humoured inhabitants and overall a good law school life that it can offer. As someone who is not a native but studying at NUJS currently, I have got no complaints from the city. I won't comment bad things about NLUJ or Jodhpur, because I have not studied at the former and only visited the latter as a tourist. Only idiots try to bring others down without having the slightest idea about them.

Crisp, concise, to the point and simple language. I'm 20 years pqe in tax and just hate something which is excessively long. Being in tax, I'm not unfamiliar with long documents and have done quite a lot of transaction tax, so am quite hands on with all the transaction documents. But crisp and to the point document rules the day.

Pune and Gurgaon simply operate as satellites for the Mumbai office mandates; Pune being more TMT and contractual heavy outsourced work, while Gurgaon being M&A and PE work. Mumbai is now the place where actual dealmaking takes place and also hosts multiple rainmakers at the top.

You have rightly called this law firm and its lawyers as pimps of sexual harassers.These pervert criminals ruin the name of all the Advocates.It is due to such bas****s that get these rapists and sexual harassers off with such criminal manipulation of the justice system that drives victims to suicide.The rapists and sexual harassers emboldened by the "pimps" continue to commit crimes against women with impunity and now India has become no 1 in women related crimes

Jodhpur ki galiyon mein, hum raja maharaja se rehte hai,

chaat is the lowest level of culinary invention, there is no application of brain, mixing random things and it tastes only moderately good, have people forgotten Thai, russian, Italian and Ugandian cuisine already, the detailed and meticulous culinary expertise these dishes require is blowjobling

We have to submit the documents for clat counseling by 2nd January. This includes the Clat admit card. I am not at my home right now so, I do not have the Signed clat admit card with me.. I'll probably only have it within my reach by 31st January.

Can I submit a unsigned clat admit card? Please help as I panicking here

I did not assume it, I am aware of it. Many other participating universities have also done the same and similar questionable techniques that are coming to light every day. Are you honestly arguing that if one participant is submitting data without verification, others should do that too in order to preserve ranking? If yes, then we can no longer engage with each other, since your ethical standard obviously varies from mine. Nor was my entire argument based on IIT KGP's data, you are merely trying to say that to suit your narrative despite having gone through point-by-point arguments. I don't really think anything positive can emerge from any further conversation with you, so I'll withdraw now. You may feel free to keep airing your opinion, I have said what I had to and would let the readers judge the merit behind the two positions.

Hi, I recently got placed in a Chamber of renowned advocate through strong reference. The chamber have few other associates and some have already left the association in the past.

I will be uprooting myself from my native place and going to Delhi. Though I am politically rich but not financially rich. I will have to really think about survival and finances few years down the line.

What can I expect in a Senior chamber ?

Hello LI Community.

I want to thank the people who have told me about IDIA. I have reached out to them and I am on my way to getting the scholarship.

I have to make the final call. But I have a few queries.

I am 21 as of December 2023. I have already completed a UG degree this year.

I come from a poor family. My father earns 5-6K per month. We live in a remote village in WB.

If I start preparing for CLAT and AILET 2025 and if successful in them, I will be joining a law program at the age of 22 which means I will be graduating at 27 (BO'30). So this is a struggle of 7 years or so.

After law school, I am thinking of getting into Litigation as I don't think I would be able to work in a law firm job as the latter is very hectic. But, the thing is that litigation pays very little which will make it very hard to survive let alone support my family.

I am the eldest son in my family, so I have pressure to earn some income ASAP and support my family. We are a family of 5.

My parents are in their 40s but due to lack of health facilities, they have some mild health problems and I also have some mild health problems.

This is the last opportunity for me to pursue any higher studies.

What do you guys think should I take the scholarship and pursue law OR try something else that will give me some monetary return in very little time (1-2 years) so that I start supporting my family?

Please provide some genuine advice.

Thanks in advance.
