Do UPSC and become a babu. That's honestly the only way to do professional policy work in India. Otherwise, you could join policy shops, but they are nowhere as impactful. Alternatively, you can be a major industrialist. At that point, it's less public policy and more policy lobbying.

by reading the case. You wont remember if you read bangia and the thing was in a throw away sentence in some chapter. You will remember the case if you read the case. You may not remember every little detail- but youll remember the important cases. its been 10 years from college. I remember the citation for important consti cases because i spent so much time reading that damn case and trying to understand it. do yall not read cases anymore?

Quit it. Save your life. Save the lives of others around and save your money.

Quit cold turkey- The first three days are super agony. The First week is agony. Then its a daily fight till the first month and then it gets better.

Trust me it is the BEST gift that you can ever give yourself.

1) Being in third year/just finished third year is the first red flag since you don't have proper acumen for understanding their nature of work unless ofcourse you have prior ECM or Financial Regulatory experience or have penned down SEBI articles on IndiaCorpLaw/Taxmann/other reputed journals.

2) Delhi has a small team and every decision for callbacks is taken by the Mumbai office, so think it through and try to get your slot shifted to Mumbai.

3) They prefer candidates who have prior experience in ECM work and accordingly allot work.

4) Everything will depend on how much your mentor pushes for your callback, so stay in very good terms with him/her.

5) Hiring might not be active until late 2025 due to the 2023 overhiring across offices in ECM.

Thanks and all the best!

Delhi is conservative with callbacks given how Mumbai office has a say for everything with respect to ECM hiring/recruitment. That being said, I had a friend who told me that Delhi CM operates hybridly & does not really engage interns with DRHP drafting exercise since they limit basic research/form filing grunt work for interns and fail to objectively assess candidates. Know someone who secured PPOs in their final year but their last year's overhiring signals a freeze as far as the Delhi side of things are by far concerned. They have a few SAs which are difficult to work with while Associates will be drowning with work; choose your reporting person wisely and outperform others.

If you have the chance, then its more prudent to get your internship shifted to the Mumbai office for better chances of bagging callbacks; 3 people b/w June, 2023 to November, 2023 slots have been able to bag callbacks in the Mumbai office provided they were in cordial touch with their internship mentor (who has the final call with regards to the callback recommendation).

Hope this gives you an idea, best of luck!

Bro the last 2 times someone wrote a similar thread on GNLU, on both occassions GNLU closed down so actually the threads have been 100 prct accurafe. I am a student of GNLU and I can say with certainty that these threads are actually true, atleast for GNLU. Mark my words and save this 'GNLU will close bc of COVID by mid -Jan for sure'.

If it was irrelevant to you, you wouldn't be foaming at the mouth under my comment. Some lazybums with privilege want to sit at home while paying for an education. Forgive the rest of us for not giving into panic every time there's a new variant. It's a risk, but most of us will take it over imprisoning ourselves at home.

But given that I will probably do the callback in late 2024 (my internship is in May/ June 2024), doesnt it make sense.

Also I would be in the fourth year by May won't I ?

Is more work required for a callback? Like I know someone at Trilegal has to only get feedback from two associates for a callback. How is it in Indus?

OP: Wow. I'm kind of torn between WBNUJS and NLUJ considering I've got a rank that can get me in both places. Do you think getting such a foreign exchange semester opportunity would add some weight to your CV? Is it a realistic expectation to have more chances of even TRYING for such an opportunity in Calcutta as opposed to Jodhpur?

Second this. Travel is glamorous the first 2-3 times, but after that it gets annoying. There are only so many times you can meet old batchmates in London, Singapore or New York.

Yes, all of these cities always have "things to do", but you have family, work, and other things to deal with, and staying back to visit the MOMA or Burj is the last thing on your mind on Trip 4.

As a person from JGLS, I can tell you for sure that LLMs are just face saving tactics for rich + incompetent people. Competent people (majority) of them want to earn cash and hence want to get tier 1 jobs at JGLS. Only 5-7% of the batch manages that at Jgls, rest of them save face by spending another 60L on useless degree. If anyone gets offended by this, be offended idgaf

This is bad advise and must be marked trollish. Calling an EP without a confirmation could be fatal to the whole process. This guy was lucky to get a kind and interested partner, most are shifty and couldn't care less about this. Remember there is a long waiting line behind you. Don't fk up.

I'm sorry and feel bad saying this, but I'm actually from a tier 1 NLU. We are approached by firms for internships and callbacks/ PPOs are given more easily and very systematically at tier 1s.

I wish you the very best. The market could get better after the elections. Apply to tier 2 firms by then.

So i got 1000 rank but am a science student, this year onwards only science stream students can take bsc llb in nujs/nliu and that's why the cutoff might go high and I might get those courses . Otherwise would have to go for nluo ( through counselling) , i can also get hnlu in vacancy. Now I want corporate placement in future so would bsc llb students have disadvantage in placement over ba LLB ? And will nujs/nliu tag matter more than course over hnlu/nluo? Please help thanks

doesn't matter the exam is shit,
didn't prepared for it till the last day.

cleared pre exam easily, failed in mains due to Securities Act(Not interested in studying LODR etc.).

Bakki sab first class hai aram se de exam course wagera mat liyo, but prepare honestly. Given 1 hour daily ho jayega promise.

Time lagega lekin ho jayega

So I have a relative who after completing her bachelors from JGLS decided to move to Norway for their LLM. And now their parents just won't keep quiet about it. They keep pestering me to also do the same. Afaik masters are only helpful if you want to get into research and isn't really helpful if you want to land a job. But even then just wanted to know what are the potential benefits of doing a LLM from Norway of all places over US/UK.

Yeah. Trilegal hires till April. But dont wait for a call back - ask for extension. If you wait for call back you'll get a slot post april (1 month for assessment of your feedback + atleast 2 months)

So if you intern in jan make sure to build rapport with your team and go for an extension

Hi OP, it's a little late but not too late in my opinion. If you think you are capable (mentally ready, having the right aptitude for the exam and the resources to back you up for another year or two), do go for it.

Preferably try to have a Plan B for yourself though, so that you feel more confident.

Let me clarify my comment. Becaus I fear that the likes may be because it may have seemed that the comment was to put him down. Actually it wasn't putting him down at all.

His father was a judge of the HC and FIL was CJI. His practice did grow because of that. But So if his practice grew because of that, it isn't his fault. (To his credit his practice has grown even more after the untimely death of his father and the retirement of his FIL.)

And yes he unquestionably has learnt from them. He conducts himself like he is a boss! I think tht upbringing in a legal family and being a married into one both means that one moves in a certain circle but that can't be held against. He has learnt from them how to conduct himself.

I think it's just this one over enthu cutlet, who is embarassing NLUD on legally India. If you see the style of comments and choice of words are quite similar. This person has just point agenda, to establish the 'supremacy' of his law school over even Harvard if it comes to that. At the end he ends up making a joke of himself. I am sure not all NLUD students are like this guy

This server started after years of frustration that no one made one. One night in one of the forums here people asked for one, I got up pulled my pants up, and made one in a couple of hours. AROUND 30 PEOPLE JOINED!!! People started talking, discussing, and giving advice, and insights!!

The server was raw and not structured. Now after spending half a day on it we have

1. an open to all forum without moderation

2. specialised text channels

3. tags

4. voice channels

I encourage everyone to join this, Only if this server was there years ago all of us would be better off. I request the mods to allow this. (Please for the love of god I am too invested in this lmfao). Im sending this posts again as my last one was not approved, The link to it was already published I just want to bring to light to it again as it better now.

p.s - if anyone wants to be a mod on the server pls dm me. I will need some help.

see yall there - https://discord.gg/FPJabjke

Not everyone who has been given a PPO knows how to do a DD or mark-up a document. I am the OP above, was given very basic tasks during the internships, and now the partner wants me to prepare a complete chapter of the DD report. It is generalisations like these which create toxicity. Please refrain from making absolutist remarks.

It all depends where you want to see yourself some years down the line. If loads of money and pseudo-fame is what you aspire for, then better to stay where you are. In case you prefer independence, better work life balance and peace in life, then sole practice is a great option. I can vouch for it from my personal experience.

If u couldn’t cut it in CLAT and don’t plan to give it again next year you should focus on reading, scoring marks and publishing/mooting.

Being dependant on placements is not the best strategy in this college. Hasn’t stopped the good students from starting off their careers in T-1s and T-2s through PPOs though.

Haa EY aayega 6-7 bacche le jaayega for 70k a month. (Mostly women)

Umm..they will still takeover daddy's business. They will still be responsible for the employees working in daddy's business. They will still have to carry forward the business once daddy is not there. How many women step up to take care of business ? And I'm not taking about personal ones.

False cases is enough to lose your job, inturn lose your ability to manage and support your family, inturn leading to higher chances of divorce or cheating, inturn leading the MAN to pay for divorce and not the woman for infidelity. But wait. He lost the job already. Who cares ?!

Groping and harassment are definitely worse. But they don't make you lose your job, wealth or connections. Moreover the woman are the real victims here, whereas in a false case they pretend to be one.

With the current VC, it's better not to pursue PhD from there since after 3-4 years of hardwork, your final submission will be stopped.

OP I believe it's better to try at NALSAR or NUJS. Don't worry. Law is long career. You will fail more and you will succeed eventually.

Since your main concern is career growth, pick the office which is the more head office of the organisation or at least where your reporting senior works. That will give you the best possible visibility within the organisation. You can always switch cities when you are changing jobs.

In terms of quality of life, different people have different preferences - but I will say that it is easier to get by with English in Bangalore as compared to Chennai.
