Welcome to the real world, sweet summer child. This is how it's gonna be. Your parents and their identities matter to the Others-WhoShall-Not-Be-Named. You cannot file any Suits or Miscellaneous Applications to change your folks after all. I left litigation eventually. Never been happier. Bosses are soul-destroying from time to time but at least have no questionable powers to issue contempt notices to satisfy their ego trips. Make a switch from lit to non-lit if you can

For national colleges, no. But do you really expect state universities who are funded by the state government will give no preference to the states people? A state university is made primarily to give education to that state, why will Telangana or any other state fund the education of other people

From what I can see in this thread,

a nlsiu student says nludNlud student says nlsiu

Just pick whatever you want, both are great colleges. I've had kids of both colleges under me and there's not much difference, though i might have a little nlud bias owing to the fact that I've had more nlud interns than nlsiu

Its a satellite office of the Delhi vertical for the Gurgaon clients; there is no separate team as such. Since the Delhi office operates in hybrid mode, 2 days are at the MIRA office and 2 days are at DLF. However, SJ's transactions team is a good bet which is focussed on healthcare M&A and general corporate advisory.

I don't think at that rank any NLU is possible unless you come in amy reservation. As far as the NLU tag is concerned it really matters very less after top 7-8 NLUs.

GLC Mumbai for student outside Maharashtra can be very expensive, however if yoh are EWS or any Maharashtra Based ST/SC/OBC, your fee becomes as low as 340 rupees and you may get a seat at Government Colleges Hostel with per semester fee as low as 6000. Also, if you are not a reserved category, GLC can still be better than T3 NLUs however it would be just as expensive.

ILS is a great college, with placements at par with GLC and better than T3 NLUs, the fees also being very reasonable. It has an amazing campus and campus life. Many lawfirms are opening their back offices in pune, so more opportunities.

However Placement wise it's going to be GLC>ILS>T3 NLUs.

Since you aren't in the top 7 NLUs you are anyways going to have to work very hard to remain at the top of your batch.

Hello, after more than a decade MNLU has finally got 70 acres of land to build their campus. But it is in mangroves https://www.google.com/maps/place/Versova+Mangroves/@19.158056,72.8272572,1426m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x3be7b7a4d0301b67:0xf697b16b1264b322!8m2!3d19.1601914!4d72.8247183!16s%2Fg%2F11v1bj3lff?entry=ttu

if you follow the notification for land allotment at https://vidhanlegalpolicy.in/2023/06/29/mnlu-mumbai-granted-permanent-land-for-establishment-of-own-campus/ (scroll to the bottom for the notification) its on WS32 of the Mumbai master plan, which you can check at https://udri.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Western%20Suburbs/WS%20%2032.PDF

if the coastal road ever gets built, it will hem in the NLU, on three sides there is creek and on the other side there will be a 8 lane elevated highway

some nlus have hills, some have lakes, MNLU will have an 8 lane highway :P

I don’t think OP is being selfish in this scenario. Honestly, there’s a lot of tension that goes into the days prior to an A0 interview. However, that being said, the procedure is simple. Apply to HR via mail directly, the portal often doesn’t respond to you. Additionally, people gatekeep a lot less for cap reasons. I’m aware that the Blr branch is hiring though.

Yes, everyone knows. And it is about time he is held accountable. When people like him are socially accepted, it permeates and destroys the so-called 'progressiveness' and 'safe spaces' of law schools.

Also, shame on those who stand by him after all the accounts and proof have already come out.

Hi, I am not really sure about NLUD but the student Culture at NLS is really weak right now. It's extremely congested, getting good faculty is like a lottery, there's high levels of toxicity, really weak student atmosphere and interaction, dwindling student interest in academic rigor among other things.

NLS is still a great school, but it's no longer a place that will spoonfeed you and be a sure shot way to something good in your career.

First get a job, then exams. The reason not being that you're incompetent but because exams have become luck based due to the huge ratio between applicants & vacancies. It's definitely a lottery game. Unless you've had settler academic proficiency from the start or a sound financial backing, job first!

With the amount of likes they've received I think their story has definitely resonated with many here, including me.

I bet he's more than 30 when he started litigation, as judiciary can be given till 35 & exams like UPSC can be given till 32 & even more if you're from a reserved category. I personally know someone who's 40 and cracked the PCS exam.

Or, I think like a lot of people they were simultaneously working and giving exams.

Also, I've seen many people crack into law firms without contacts or support. It's either their CV was really good despite the gap years or they absolutely knocked it out of the park with their interview skills. Plus this individual has work exp, that really helps as well.

Moreover, the career went from litigation>2T>1T...seen many promotion like that. So it's plausible. Don't know what you're complaining about ?!?

There's the 30 year age limit for JRF

No upper age limit for Assistant Professor

Hey 👋 I am a dropper and gave CLAT 2024 but got Disappointed by the unexpected results. I Have given clat in 2023 and 2024 and in both exams I scored a rank of 4655 and 4089. Though I went for vacant seats in Clat 2023 and was called for admission in nlu ranchi but decided to not to go as only 3-4 months was left for CLAT 2024 and I wanted to give my best shot. I worked hard, gave mocks daily, looked out for mistakes,did CA daily for 5 months and covered backlog and improved myself in mocks scoring around 65-80 in le mocks.

This week. Principal Bench of one HC. Court ordinarily not sitting singly, given assignment only for the concerned day. Many Advocates, resultantly, seeking adjournments. Junior appears. Okayish. Knows the facts, junior conducts themselves with necessary reverence to the Bench. Bench starts off with "how much costs?" question. Junior attempts to submit against the said imposition by pointing out certain circumstances from the papers. Slightly flustered, but in no way rude or disrespectful.

Had a chat with the said junior later on. The junior not on record. Matter rejected for some formal noncompliance apparently, restoration filed with some delay. This fact also voluntarily submitted to the Bench by the said junior.

Is this really how things are? The delay was little over 6 months. How can one possibly continue litigation if such would be the approach towards juniors? This is just one of the many observations for a period of a few months now. This has got me seriously thinking about switching from lit to non-lit. Please share your views on this. Obviously please keep things anonymous and avoid sharing any identifiable details.

DISCLAIMER This is merely an observation, with no intent to make any negative remarks whatsoever about the judicial system or the judiciary.

You are choosing MNLU, Mumbai. After five years you pass out from here, then no body is going to ask you who was the VC or Registrar.

Choose institution which you like. You are going to have new VC and you can't predict as to whether he/she would be a better one or worse than the present one.

Wadia might have a toxic culture in the Banking and Finance practice in Mumbai but Gopal and Nihas are known to train their juniors very well. The first 2 years at a busy outfit like WG teaches you what no "Tier 1/Legal500 ranked practices" ever will. I have seen laterals take up and advice on some very complex deliverables and high stake insolvenices than any fresh T1 NLU hire ever could've (and this comes from being from NALSAR myself). Also campus hiring is a sham and objective assessment at the tier 1 firms should be basis PPOs to be very honest. Grade inflation causes people with no idea of the practice to get through the door and parley incompetence.

The leftist kids can downvote all they want. You are in your teens and early twenties, too young to appreciate how the real world works. When you become older and join law firms you will change your views and shift towards the centre or right. Mark my words. 90% of NLU grads have done so, barring a handful of public law academics and human rights lawyers.

So I will not attack you but rather smile, because I know your views will change with age. 🙂

Why is this marked trollish? NALSAR is indeed a state university. How can the moderator dispute this? And many NLUs have high domicile quotas to give local students a chance. NUJS, MNLU and NLU Sonipat have the most, I think.

The moderators here keep censoring comments based on their likes and dislikes, rather than on the basis of objective criteria.

I'm at NLUD and I would normally suggest NLSIU for its quality of curriculum and peers, but now with the huge batch of 300 students with a domicile quota I think both the quality of education and peers is set to go down the drain. NLUD has maintained its batch size at 120 without domicile quota, but has worse profs than NLSIU. I suspect the quality of peers would also be slightly better at NLUD for your batch.

The stereotypical thickness of skull of corporate chads on full display here. The work these people do is paper-pushing, and in the broader picture, against public interest. Explain why should anyone keen on studying how to better facilitate mergers in the country deserve a free ride to oxford. Especially in contrast when you have individuals who care about making society better and holding institutions accountable which are averse to those who are the weakest in society. No one cares about corp cucks, because their work has minimal to no relevance to any sort of public good.

As an ex-nlud student who had to make the same choice, i think i understand the conundrum. now, the quality of faculty in nls is miles ahead of nlud. However, the chances of you being taught by them are minimal given the expansion. The expansion is what hurts nls students but is beneficial for nls the institution. As a student, your interests will be better looked after by getting into nlud, with decent fac which is better than any other college rn(except nls), and decent exposure to avenues such as upsc and research. You will get better opportunities in getting intnl moots as well, which is immense especially if you discover you are interested in the activity. Also, the geographical factor does count. You will miss home, especially on the bad days, and its much more peaceful to know home's an overnight train away. I did not regret my decision one bit, and in the long run, either way, I'm sure you won't either! Congratulations and all the best!

your preference ought to be between nalsar and nlud honestly. nls model of expansion hurts students directly, with their being less opportunities for you in every domain- be it moots or research or placements. in nlud or nalsar, the relatively smaller batches are really important, and ensure that you have a greater chance to pursue the things you want to pursue without being stuck in a cut throat internal struggle as well. im not saying you will not be able to do it, but what you must remember is that all law schools feel incredibly tough, and competing against 120 is way better for your mental health and peace than the more than 200 odd nls is taking in every year.

Hi I want to ask that can we work remotely from India as an associate with same salary that an associate get in USA or in UK like 100k dollars after LLM from international law schools like Harvard or stanford or from Oxford does anyone know who earns that much remotely from India as an associate in international law firm ?

Hey, I just interned last month with your team, given you are legit. As this is an anonymous platform, can you give me true indicators on the status of callbacks internally. I worked by fking ass out every day, not pushing anything, but just dont wanna get fucked by internal firm policies and have high expectations. Anyone wiling to give unfiltered opinion, is most welcome. I will apply elsewhere should you or any others respond in the negative, I dont wanna lose out on anything.

Hoping for a legit response,

Regards.

It's a mess here. I would not recommend coming here till this VC situation is sorted. The VC is literally abusing his power and will be the doom of MNLU Mumbai. It's high time that Dilip Ukey is kicked out of our college. He has done nothing to grow our college or the placement prospects.

DMD Advocates used to be in quite a few Matrix Partner representations and it seemed like they do pay for a good value proposition. But there are just too many firms pitching low costs to the same big ticket PE/VC funds, making you easily replaceable in such a cutthroat market. Its become just like Capital Markets where the meatier mandates vis-a-vis BRLMs already have their set advisors in place and the only factor altering such a puzzle would be by cutting costs and quicker turnaround.

Jahan pe inke struggle khatam hote hai waha GLC ke shuru hote hai. It's literally being dragged every year with only the pity of alumni and the hard work of students. You can never imagine that the post of principal which was once held by BR Ambedkar and Dinshaw Mulla is being held by a Super Corrupt Right Wing, Narcissistic, Egocentric Moron, who never takes a single lecture. I went be surprised if her LLM is fake given that she doesn't even know how to speak English and only speaks marathi. Teachers are paid 800rs an hour, no student committees get the funding which is mandatory to be given, she has allowed so many rw organisations like abvp to freely operate in GLC. Her appointment itself was riddled with corruption and nepotism in the state government.

I'm sure many average students have this doubt, and some clarity would be appreciated.

I'm from a fairly well-known private law college and in my final year, but owing to chronic procrastination, mental health problems, and mild substance addiction with a touch of heartbreak, my grades by the end of 5 years were average. Not terrible at all, but just the run-of-the-mill grades one can expect from cruising through law school without actually putting in any real effort.

Getting a job through college placements doesn't seem like an option for me, since shortlisting is done solely on grades. I've done litigation internships and firm internships with firms well-known in the field I want to make a career in, and the feedback has been consistently good. However, despite this, along with a couple of Moot Court and ADR competitions, my CV is once again, pretty average.

So here is my question. I have made peace with the fact that I will have to start at a smaller firm, or a litigation chamber and then try making a shift to firms that pay well. At that time, will my average grades hold me back? Or do law school grades only matter to the extent of getting the job itself (And an LLM if required). Will this act as a roadblock throughout my life, or will a few years of work experience make up for it?

Nothing is happening in MNLU mumbai. Just some 3-4 seniors are trying to defame MNLU just for their political reasons. Everything is fair going on MNLU. Even the Campus's tenders are being passed. Soon MNLU will have its own campus. Just dont belive this rumours spread by some 3-4 seniors. You can approach any student they will tell u the truth. Just dont belive on this nasty comments. They are talking about that registrar has been forced to resign, no one was forced to resign. He voluntarily resigned. Former registrar made his son faculty in the MNLU

NLUD just produced a Rhodes scholar I heard? They’re rising like anything in a very short period of time, and in coming years with state reservation and 240 students in NLS whereas no state reservation and around 100 students NLUD is gonna rise even more for sure. If I was in your place, I would choose NLUD any day.

NLUD. Not even a debate. Messiah has destroyed NLS. Unless you’d like a congested batch of 300 people with skyrocketing fees over the next five years. You’ll have scrape and compete with some 1500 BALLB kids for even basic opportunities like good moots and internships. NLUD funds its students for all moots and ADR competitions. And the college is only bound to grow. Plus, no domicile quota at NLUD.
