This is so true. A couple of Rhodes using the marginalised minority card and a few foreign placements after 20 years of existence and the GNLU trolls think they're competing for a top 3 alongside the likes of NLUD and NALSAR. I don't like the Noojie trolls here but be realistic, NUJS still has greater credibility and academic pedigree than GNLU. They've declined due to poor administration rather than the students being mediocre. GNLU folks should stay humble but sadly, they're spending all their time on LI giving even Noojie troll army a run for their money. Get a life, kids.

Hi, this is a mentorship request exclusively for SAs and above ( GC/MP) working in law firms. I just want a direction in my career and I have nobody to ask such about law firms / corporate law. I am from small city from no name law school trying to build a career . If anyone is interested pls drop how you would like me to contact you .

Look at your stupidest logic lol. Just because NLIu was the first one to initiate the domicile quota, that means NLIu has more domicile students? This gives to show that your college is really going t9 ashes. Also I am a bong and I am at nalsar, I know for a fact that my culture is quite strong. That doesn’t make NLIu any worse than your salty student body. In fact NLIu also has a couple of bongs, one of whom I know personally.

My senior was a colleague to Tanmay Mehta when they were working in Mr. Siddharth Luthra chambers. He used to tell me all good things about him and recently he also bought some supercar. Once saw him literally dictating a judge of what to write in high court. He has great command over language and civil laws. He was re-writing cpc through his arguments. You should not miss the opportunity. Pay jitni bhi ho, ek saal bhi guzar liya toh bht badiya connections aur lawyer bnkr niklogey. Nature of matter- hardcore civil, commercial, criminal.

Daro chaye met daro, darne ki acting jarur Karo. Kaam Karo chaye na karo, kaam karne ki acting jrur Karo.

Jokes apart- Try learning all the compliances, contracts and disputes work. Also, try thinking from the perspective of finance, sales, marketing since you will be working cross functionally. Also, keep an open mind, is duniya mein jisse seekhne ko mile usse dekho.

if you have a budget of 30k only, which is very less for a metro, consider hiring remotely from small towns

You can have people remotely do your drafting, research, customer support (calls) and massively reduce your work load and someone from a small town would stay in that budget long term if you give 10-20% hike per year

As a dropper who secured a national law university in his second attempt, avoid going for a complete drop. I mean I didn't but it's a gamble and that too a dangerous one. The uncertainty and unpredictability of CLAT will shatter your confidence. I have absolutely no idea mera next step kya hota agar second attempt me bhi crack nahi kar paata to. Issliye opt for a partial drop. Go for nirma or other universities via OLET 2024 after which you can think about attempting CLAT 2025.

First, in recent years, even a top 100 AILET rank isn't always enough for NLUD, so while she had a good rank, she might have not made it through the final counselling. Regardless, exceptions might exist. One person who left due to some misplaced safety concerns about Delhi (most girls who don't get into NLUD claim this excuse) versus literally everyone else who would choose NLUD over GNLU. And NLUD is better than NLS after their batch size blowup. Even GNLU would have an edge on that front now. All of this is not relevant since NLUD is by far a better NLU than GNLU. I can't believe GNLU even thinks they're competing with us, first get ahead of NUJS and NLUJ and then we'll talk.

It doesn't matter. NLUD is simply better than your NLU. Let's get one thing very clear. NLUD is better than NALSAR and NLS these days. NUJS, GNLU, NLIU and NLUJ are good places in their own right, but they don't come close to NLUD. And none of them have achieved the kind of success NLUD has in just 15 years with such high competition from older established colleges.

That’s definitely not true, I know a girl who had within air 100 in ailet and got thru to nlud but opted for gnlu since her parents didn’t let her study in Delhi due to safety issues! There are literally ppl with air 33 and stuff in gnlu who have left nls for it so leaving nlud is no big deal!

CAM-

Easier go at PPO

But, Bad work culture, stipend, A0 pay, HR, Partners, Coordination

S&R

Better stipend, culture, HR, Partners

Highest A0 Pay

But, Super selective process for PPO, Leaning exp will be lower due to the lesser clients- work

I would seriously suggest taking NLIU. Even though people say it’s stagnant, that entire period is ending as placements have improved and the student community has taken note of its previous downfall.

Apart from great placements, you do get some decent faculty and a great party culture. People even get fucking single rooms by the 3rd year.

Lastly, the alumni base is absolutely amazing with several recruiting partners in almost all T1 firms.

My values do not actually align with any. It could be any, except BJP.

Was considering AAP because it has got good educated people. Even in DHC, so many GOOD lawyers are associated with it. Moreover, AAP is still expanding. Considerably less people.

Cong is already full of student activists, and expanded all around. More people, less opportunity?

I was thinking this way. Any insight?

NLIU has got less domicile students? This settles it, you are high. NLIU is the first NLU to have domicile quota for the last 2 decades and if you think MP domicile students are in general more intelligent than Bongs, then despite not being a Bong myself, I find that hilarious.

NLIU. Better fee structure plus they have been very recently improving their placements. If you talk to their current students or go though several LI threads, you may notice that NLIU dramatically improved its placements this year to everyone’s surprise. And moreover, in general- placements don’t really differentiate NLIU and NUJS. It’s the culture and NLIU has a better set of students as they have less domicle students. Go there

The unbiased and objective position still remains this: If you're getting any from NLS, NALSAR or NLUD, you may leave NUJS for those. If you are really hoping for a good T1 firm job more easily, then you may choose NUJS even over NLUD, though the latter has got many other advantages over NUJS at present including bigger campus, location, better admin, greater funding, better research culture, better litigation and UPSC prospects because of location etc. None of the other NLUs will offer you any advantage over NUJS, including NLUJ, NLIU or GNLU, though you may take up those without losing much in the process in terms of opportunities.

NUJS and NLIU both have stagnated. But if I had an option, I would still choose NUJS over NLIU. However, being resident of Bhopal I can tell the place is not expensive compared to metro cities' high cost. 5 years is a lot of time, and you are definitely gonna spend a lot apart from your course fee at the Uni. So yeah, compare the fee of both these institutions. If there is significant difference then you can consider Bhopal. But if not, hands down NUJS. Also, there will be better crowd in Kolkata for people from South.

Don't go to GNLU.

Look at the batch size.

There are many GNLU fan boys here but that's coz they have such a huge batch size.

Now coming to your question.

Fees at NUJS is at the higher side plus campus is also really small.

NLIU's fee is lower and campus is bigger, but campus size shouldn't be an issue at all.

If you're middle class I'm presuming you want placement, NUJS gives you slight advantage over NLIU.

I cant think of one single reason to pay that fee and study there. Nothing out of ordinary about the faculty, curriculum or management. The people who teach there all appear to be strictly average people with no serious academic or other achievements. At least one of them was a known joker at an NLU and he was not even made permanent there. The only thing out of ordinary is about the place is the fee.

studying at any average Delhi-NCR law college is a better deal because at least the location confers the student with certain benefits.

Yes, I also have in mind all these examinations. The way I see their syllabus and papers, you are only required to mug up the bare acts of major statutes. Also, these exams, barring CLAT PG require you to finish your graduation.

I'm just unsure as to how can I utilise my next 1.5 years productively before graduation.

Hello Everyone. I am a 4th Student, studying in a T3 college. I wanted to know how can I approach T1 and T2 firms for the internship. I think I've a decent enough CV to get atleast T2 now, but my application is again and again rejected.

Some people say that apply 4 months in advance and when i apply 4 months in advance, I get rejections stating that the slots are already booked. Can someone tell me the right time to apply at T1 and T2s.

I have kept my preferences in this order. There will be vacant rounds as well. Kindly help me choose out a better option among these two…please

I want y’all to drop opinions based upon placements, foreign exposure and litigation. Mods please mark this thread featured, so as to gain attention. I really need urgent help

Hear me out please, I have researched about the Government Exams a lot especially the General Non-technical Government Recruitment Examinations like Banking, Insurance, SSC, RRB, Defence, and so on.

See in these general examinations the competition is very high. People are prepping for like 4-5 years. So with a law education, this is a mere waste of your NLU education.

I would rather suggest some other options that will be very beneficial for you, please consider prepping for various PSU's Legal Recruitment Examinations, Local and Other Statutory government departments, and Agencies Legal Recruitment Examinations. Here many people are not even aware of these things and hence there is very little competition. Also, crack Clat PG as I have got some info that various PSUs use Clat PG for their legal vacancy recruitment.

Think about it.

Note - A few of these vacancies may require 1-2 years of Litigation experience.

I'm a 4th year student at a tier 3 NLU. Seeing how there's no scope in the Corporate sector for people like me, I'm thinking of preparing for SSC CGL. I know this is sort of a crazy idea, given the exam has heavy proportions of maths and reasoning Aptitude in its syllabus, but my Curriculum has lightened, with all the core subjects already taught. I think it would be wise to allocate the upcoming year and a half to some field where my hard work can pay off.

Has anybody here been in the same situation?

Not only that, if a student from science background with a good CLAT rank chooses the BSc LLB stream over the BA one, then it may end up being a good strategy to increase their CGPA, because the non-law subjects that they will study instead of socio, eco, pol sc etc. would be more scoring for sure.

I live in Delhi. I want to join either AAP or Cong.

Any advice on which one should I and how?

Should I join the legal cell or work as a member (Can't march and all).

In short, how do I start? Need guidance.

Motivation is to serve the marginalized people + Political power.

HI , I am someone who graduated in 2014 and this is the exact reason I have stopped litigating , did an MBA in HR and now working in a conglomerate.

See, you have to understand things in correct perspective:-
1) Litigation / pvt practise is VERY costly (rent or supposed rent of office, maintenance , payment to juniors

2) as your matter increases you will have to keep Juniors and pay them well . Those who have talent wont stick and those who dont will be a burden on you and your office space
3) Best well read juniors either go into corporate and only graduates from local colleges will be available for your office. You cant have 'A' level game, with 'D' level players

4) Inflation is making it tougher for everyone and anyone to join and continue litigation for several years. So, it we are seeing a end of an era.
5) Nobody wants to ruin mental health by working in bad infra , abusive local bar associations (think MP HC Bar - they burned the building last year , Think Delhi HC Bar the recent abuse in canteen for life. Why should someone ? People would very well teach kids , do some course , do coding and exit from that toxic place.
6) Litigation is also for those who know how to 'Chuna Lagao' Client / Milking the Client
7) Back in the days , life was simple today you have 10 things to do and maintain and you had help from your spouse as there was only one working partner. Nowadays , both partners are working and you have to take care of things outside work. That's the reason people are leaving litigation and law firms (except that law firms pay good)
