Tier-3 NLU students have pathetic quality and so as NMIMS/UPES but GLC students not so much. I had interned with one GLC student at JSA. Dude was a beast. You have to understand GLC is some sort of an internship factory as it’s their only final financial goal.

I have also met someone from HNLU who was quite successful in making it to the top. So there are some tier-2 colleges like HNLU/GLC (although it can fall under T-1) which have shown exemplary performances on various occasions. You will usually notice a Tier-1 dominance, but some colleges are quite underrated.

They are very rude, ngl.

Yellow Wire is not good too, had very bad experience with them. They made an offer to me for x location then started pressuring me to move to y location [which is close to 1500km across the country]. I refused and then they started giving me backhanded threats (we handle HR for a lot of firms, we conduct background checks bla bla).

▮▮▮ just make you feel useless and kill your confidence

Same bro i was approached by them for a defence colony firm that firm was also shit to be honest. The recruiters had themselves shifted my interview date and at last said "ana hai toh aoo warna kat lo"( though they literally didn't say this but the connotation of conversion was similar to this)

To honest and respectfully, your argument is akin to saying that there was no discrimination in India in past against the lower section of society and they must have just invented, what a cr@p. your argument is based on the assumption, that there is no such thing at toxicity because for you the toxic behaviour is normalised as it have been happening from generation to generation. Your argument quite absurd, your basis is like African haven't encountered racial discrimination it just they have invented it.

The question is based on a false premise.

Most alumni haven't set foot back in the campus and frankly don't give a rats ass about what's going on.

If they had a good or bad experience, they are not going to be in a position to compare neither do they care.

The political climate is yours and you do what you can with it. It doesn't affect us. We are out making the money and most of our lives.

Hi guys! Long-time lurker, first time poster. I am an SA at a Tier III Firm in New Delhi at the moment, and have amassed some expertise in food law (got some clients in as well). I am now looking to switch to a bigger firm with a focus on Food Laws, but I don't know if there are bigger teams working exclusively on food laws (Compliance/Litigation). Would be so happy to hear from you folks of good firms (ready to pay upwards of 15 LPA) with a specific focus on food law. Thanks!

Kindly include literature on the persecution that tribals, 'lower' castes faced and still face in the hands of the UC Hindus too. Those are recorded facts. Highlighting the good points of a religion and its persecution from outside is a welcome move, but not the at the cost of hiding the darkness within.

After filing a police complaint a few days ago alleging that Mahua visited his house using Pinaki’s car, Jai Dehadrai tweeted the below messages yesterday. Everyone knows what “Canning Lane” means. But what I don’t get is this: why is Pinaki being mentioned so often? His party BJD is pro-BJP and he has spoken in favour of Modi in Parliament. Nothing in his court practice (that I know of) shows any affinity for the Congress or TMC. Maybe Shardul Amarchand has briefed him, but they brief all the big lawyers! So what’s the deal exactly? Is any lawyer briefed by SAM an enemy now? What’s the gossip in court circles? Any connection with mining projects in Odisha perhaps?

This is why Noojies don't deserve any good faculty. In most other universities, good faculty leave because of bad admin and other service conditions. Here, for the last few years, good faculty leave because of bad students, while the few good faculty who remain behind get attacked and abused on a regular basis. These students are pathetic! No wonder NLS, NALSAR and NLUD students have left them far behind.

One should also read political Hindutva literature, not just respected scholarship like Bhagwati or Friedman. This is to understand the Hindutva viewpoint and support/critique it, in the same way that reading Marx or Lenin or Mao makes you understand the communist viewpoint and support/critique it. For example these books:

- Bunch of Thoughts, Gowalikar (RSS founder and echoes RSS beliefs)

- Six Glorious Epochs of History, Veer Savarkar (reference point for Hindutva-centric history)

- Vikram Sampath's biography of Veer Savarkar (more complex portrait of Savarkar by a modern pro-RSS person)

- J Sai Deepak's book India That is Bharat (modern pro-RSS lawyer using jurisprudential arguments)

- Arghya Sengupta's new book The Colonial Constitution (non-RSS person but convergence of views with JSD)

This is a very good comment. Actually, no one had anything against Gen Z until 2016. The trouble started only in 2016 onwards. Here's what happened:

- Normalisation of cringe and fringe on social media. This lowered the collective IQ of Gen Z and also made them more radicalised

- Liberal media brainwashed Gen Z into thinking that Trump is bad, Modi is bad etc.

How easy given the attrition is it to jump from niche but known firms like Touchstone, Quillon, Lexygen, Verist legal and similar firms which pay good but aren't T1 T1, to eventually jump to a T1 practice with PQE of 1-3 years? I've seen enough people leave and join T1s over LinkedIn but want to confirm it this common and will stay common assuming attrition remains constant if not worse

Astounded by the hate the LM teacher recieves, primarily because she is strict with her subject and doesn't spoon feed things. People prostrate themselves before the Political science teacher, someone who hasn't taught anything throughout the semester, and the very people complain about the LM teacher being horrible.

Very very poor pay.Too much work exploitation, way too much toxicity for such a sized firm and neither the peanuts(sale) nor the miniscule learnings make it worthwhile.Even internship time here would be wasted.Friends say pay doesn't even come on time.Too many hassless and the experience/brand here don't count to shift to other firms.Skip.

1. Those peers haven't really been taught by your faculty, nor you by theirs, so the opinions are largely based on hearsay and presumptions.

2. The question is not about range of electives, but about the quality and rigour. Even the range is negated by your batch size. NLUs may offer 10% electives but their student strength is also 10% of yours.

3. You deliberately avoided the issue and went into standard of living. It's about the academic standard and how your faculty are forced to tow the lines of the students and the admin at Jindal. You have got very little clue about academic freedom in NLUs, otherwise you would not have said that they place restrictions on teaching methodology that JGLS doesn't. If by that you meant that your teachers are free to swear in front of students or show them bumble profiles, then that's probably not the best of advertisements for JGLS.

The crux of the matter is that you have got no substantive ground to claim that your faculty is the best unless you can show that they are producing the best students.

Yes... A girl

I (male) was an SA then and had just shifted to a new accomodation. The congratulations from the girl intern came somewhat in this manner - "it must be a bit lonely at your new home... Let me come and do a house warming for you."

Had to report this to the HR... Since this was the last straw. She used to come super close while discussing assignments which made me quite uncomfortable.

Serious physical beating in the name of ragging had stopped by 2003-04. Ragging post that involved weird dance moves, preparing maggi for seniors, at times doing their project.

Ofcourse, homophobia existed deeply.

Other than that, interpersonal relationships were more cordial. People were better in conducting dialogues. Cancel culture did not exist. People were more connected to the real world, and did not shirk from hardwork.

In contrast, Gen Z continue to live in their early adolescence even in their 20s. Theirvgeneral attitude towards dealing with disagreement is more 'toxic' than homophobia and ragging which prevailed in 2000s.

You say Gen Z "invented" the "concept" of toxicity, but towards the end of your comment agree that people now are just engaged in toxicity. Two things follow: i. you agree toxicity exists; ii. you have to rely on this word (because there isn't any other suitable alternative).

So maybe Gen Z didn't as much invent the concept of toxicity as they just coined a word for a phenomenon they observed?

And to say that the world was not as toxic is probably some dishonesty, especially when you agree in the same breath that there was "physical ragging and homo phobia". It sounds a lot like oh the world was great back then, yeah we used to beat people up and make people uncomfortable about their sexuality but maaan was it fun!

The current generation students push the concepts of toxicity, wokeism, etc. to its boundaries, yes. They also often cross some boundaries and make mistakes & errors of judgment. But it's a university ffs, that sort of dialogue and experience is how one is supposed to learn about real world (including how movements take shape).

I agree the world was different without the omnipresent mobile phone & social media. Instagram etc. was just becoming famous halfway through my law school, so I do have some experience of life prior to that (though, admittedly, Facebook was a thing then - but it wasn't as pervasive as present-day social media). A world without 24x7 need to be connected is definitely better, no doubt. But to say everything was rosy is just nostalgia doing its thing.

If I were to be honest in my role as a journalist, I would board a flight to West Bengal, immersing myself in Krishnanagar to document the governance experienced by its people. I'd cast a revealing light on Calcutta’s history, its current state, and delve into why its former glory seems unlikely to be reclaimed. The Tata Singur Arbitration, resulting in significant losses to the state exchequer, and the pervasive scam call centers in Bengal, siphoning off millions daily globally, would be focal points. I would aim to uncover why the state struggles to curb these issues and unapologetically expose the politicians orchestrating this racket.

In essence, my write-up would be a detailed portrait of Bengal with all her scars— and, of all things, not start with Mahua Moitra’s side profile dressed in designer clothes!

I would gather perspectives from the governed, not from a Mahua’s criminal attorney (Rebecca John)! As I was reading Rebecca Johns's glowing character certificate for Mahua, I was reminded of Ram Jethmalani - when he took the stage in defence of his client, Harshad Mehta. For those of you who don't know who Harshad Mehta is, watch “Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story”. I'll leave to all with this - https://t.ly/0HAhT

Well, all my peers at NLUs and private universities have largely agreed that the faculty at JGLS is on another level. From literally poaching all NLU profs or NLU alumni to having the ex-CJI at our university, I think this is quite rhetorical.

Addressing the comment regarding our electives and academic rigour, sure I'll agree that not all electives are the most academically challenging but do bear in mind that we get a total of 220 electives to pick from. Even NLUs at max are offered 10. Now out of the 220, if there are at least 50-70 challenging ones (which I guarantee you, after seeing NLU and other uni electives, they are), I'd be quite content!

Regarding the "few good people who are left there", I'm sure the standards of living can and will be improved. No doubt there's issues with living in Sonipat, trust me I hate having to stay here, but a lot of faculty live in Delhi and travel down here for 2 days. It's only an hour away. So if you're getting paid well, love teaching and get to live in Delhi (personally I don't love the city but I'm sure it appeals to a lot of people), then I'd say you're doing quite well and this mode is likely to appeal to other profs as well. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask the profs at your uni, especially based on what they earn and the restrictions placed on teaching methodology :)

Yeah, much better and settled as compared to litigation. Look, no doubt you feel powerful as a lawyer when you go to court and argue. It is a feeling of instant gratification but at the same time you have to go through a dry period of atleast 5 years and then also you may feel at sea. And while working in corp you get engaged in qualitative aspect of law where you understand how to deliver the deliverable with perfection and within time. Also, it opens alot many doors when you have corporate experience. This goes without saying, that pay is always better as compared to lit. Other than this, let me explain you the psychological aspect as well, when you tell any layman that you work in a company as a lawyer they think very highly of you as well. For eg: I used to work in Reliance and that obvious change of respect you see in people face when you tell them about it. Apna2 hisab hai, mere kuch DU k batch mate aj bhi lit mein struggle kar rahe hai but they are clear in their mind ki vahi karna hai. So each to its own. I tried lit, law firms and companies and finally realised that it's the work setup of companies which suits my personality.

Not exactly "fired" from an internship, but a student unfortunately became the first person in the history of CAM-T1 NLU relations to be rejected for a PPO after getting a PPO interview. If you know CAM PPO interviews, you know that there's zero scope for anyone to be rejected because they never ask anything substantial — it's mostly a 10 minute formality where they ask about your experience & preferences, as opposed to Day Zero interviews where they actually ask some questions.

This person managed to repeatedly be an entitled troublemaker for the HR head by calling her umpteenth times regarding the PPO confirmation and probably being impolite in that too. So, interns, the lesson to be learnt here is that HRs CAN screw you up, and it's best to avoid being impolite to anyone in a professional context — even if you're supposedly good at other stuff.
