I might be earning a little less than my contemporaries working as Tier 1 star partners, but I am confident I am healthier, happier and getting to spend more time being present in my wife and children's lives. Also unlike them I get to keep what I make and not suffer burn out. There are bad places to work too over here, but depends on your luck I guess and perhaps which jurisdiction you're in. I am currently between UAE and Saudi.
Having English/NY qualification is useful but not essential for the better options. Most of the really juicy opportunities come from networking, not direct entry. You need to know people on the inside to get an in.
2) What is the scope for long-term internships or even trainee positions at the end of one-month internships?
3) How is the HR? do they interfere a lot or assist interns?
4) Work environment and quality of tasks, feedback system etc.
5) Pay scale for A0 and trainee position
How do you find open positions? Do you get any additional qualifications/certifications?
Then there is Somesh taori who cracked Oxford the same year he cracked clat (AIR 83)

BSc LLB & BTech LLB kind of degrees have been proven failures.
When Nujs started in 2000, it offered BA/BSc LLB. This was from very first year. No student opted BSc LLB and the programme got closed.
Bad idea of Nujs VC and others to launch it lowering the standards and student quality. Only low rankers in CLAT choosing it.
Don't know how law schools will set up physics and chemistry labs to offer BSc LLB?
What's the future of nepotistic lalala family run firms with toxic cultures. Are they bound for a collapse?
1. Can you elaborate on "worth the buck"
2. Also can we connect somehow
Btw, concerned deans have been informed about this.
Besides, that video wouldn't have come out had she not sent that email singling out Hindu and RW students.
No one is arguing that she broke some bumble law - or atleast the people youre responding to arent. Stop fighting strawmen and tell us what academic value this exercise provided and why its defensible as something a professor would do in the classroom? What are you learning from this you cannot learn from reading a study on endogamy/ mate choice. Why did it need to be done this way? why is this in good taste?
Its completely legal to show pornography in a law classroom, but it shouldnt happen though right? unless there is a really compelling reason we tend to keep that stuff out of the classroom.
IIMB = 53
IIM C = 59
ISB = 78
IIM Indore = 151-200
IIM Lucknow = 151-200
IIM Udaipur = 151-200
IMI Delhi = 201-250
MDI Gurgaon = 201-250
XLRI = 201-250
IMI Kolkata = 251-300
So 11 colleges in all, with 4 in the top 100. Not too bad. Certainly better than the law rankings, with only JGLS in the top 100 and NLSIU the only other Indian law school.

What can be done ? Post a link so that i can write it there ?!
A POLICE COMPLAINT filed against a professor by her own students???? π΅ Whoaa dude... Holy F...!!!! And all she did is invite a left-wing Palestine sympathiser and critic of Israel!! π€¦ββοΈAnd I thought the Jindal students were bad!! Conservatives often accuse the left of so-called "cancel culture" and accuse left-wing students of being "snowflakes". What about this then???
Indus - In a few teams it's done

Easy to switch to tier 1 in a year
I knew a guy who took a crack at it, gave it his all, and nearly grasped success. The man in question had a decent academic record from law school and was convinced that he possessed striking physical attributes, which made him stand out amongst his law-school peers. His cheerleaders often commented on his impressive looks and the personality that, they claimed, would be 'wasted' if he pursued the mediocre path of law. Like many others at the law school, he was a cinephile, always eager to discuss Hollywood and Indian classics. He lauded De Niro's performances in 'Taxi Driver' and 'Raging Bull', and Pacino's in 'Carlitoβs Way', and he sang high praises for Kulbhushan Kharbanda in 'Arth'. His impersonations of scenes from Big Bβs epic 'Agneepath' delighted his friends, earning him heaps of praise for his acting prowess and unsolicited assertions that he was destined for stardom and perhaps the illustrious Manikchand Filmfare Award.
He basked in the adoration, dabbling in local theater productions designed for the young, English-speaking, collegiate crowds of the city. Some of my acquaintances were lucky enough to catch his live performances. While praises varied in generosity, the skeptics simply admired his guts to brave the stage with his... let's say, unique talents.
After law school, he joined the ranks at one of the 'Big Laws' on Barakhamba Road, Delhi. Yet, the seed of stardom had already taken root, and he often envisioned himself far from the plains of Delhi, in the city by the Bay. Following three and a half years of contemplation and nagging self-doubt, he convinced himself of his true calling. With what he believed was enough savings, he took the leap of faith. He vowed never to return to the rat race, determined to honor his own aspirations and the expectations of his law school admirers by making an 'all-in' attempt to penetrate the dazzling world of stardom. Inspired by the Shah of Bollywood himself, he put his faith in the stories of outsiders who had achieved great success based solely on their talent.
Leaving his job and a cushy two-bedroom shared builder-floor apartment in South Ex behind, he moved into a modest one-room kitchen at Yari Road. He joined an upscale gym frequented by hopeful starlets and hired a personal trainer to sculpt his physique to cinematic perfection. He poured more of his nest egg into a respected but has-been actor's crash course on cinema acting, quickly learning that his diction, dialogue delivery, body language, and screen presence needed considerable work. Transitioning to a more intensive and pricier acting program seemed only sensible. Professional photographers captured his portfolio across Bombay, and he spent lavishly on trendy Bandra drip for numerous auditions.
A grueling year of auditions ensued, filled with long lines and brief encounters with dubious individuals and their questionable bargains. He was one in a sea of dreamy-eyed, eager hopefuls, each hungrier and more desperate than our protagonist and mostly without a safety net. Some had even torched their bridges for a one-way ticket to the dream factory.
After almost nine months of relentless door-knocking and rejections for not having the "right" voice or "face-cut", his funds dwindled to nothing, culminating in overdue rent.
At a soiree hosted by a batchmate fresh from a Japanese bank secondment, he reconnected with old friends who had once sung his praises. As they lamented their corporate lives and flaunted their 'aquaracers', while repeatedly trying to impress each other with the stories they picked up or were part of while negotiating some βwho-give-a-shitβ SHA. For a brief moment, our man was transported back to his law school glory days, where life seemed easy and dreams meant to be conquered. Sharing tales of audition room woes and lines from roles that never were, he found clarity.
The next day, he borrowed money from his brother, settled his rent, and reached out to his old bossβwho, as fate would have it, ghosted him. By week's end, his resume was spruced up on Naukar.com, courtesy of classmates, and distributed to the who's who of headhunters.
By year's end, he secured a job at a modest law firm and returned to Delhi β the land of 'Dally Maitro', 'Cholesterol Bhature', and loud mouths. His cinematic aspirations were quietly shelved, his retainer fee a tad below his peers, his passion for film buried in the graveyard of forgotten dreams.
CAM SAM only for campus interns, not for contact interns- their way of making a subtle segregation since presentation is a very important and sometimes the sole component considered for a ppo/callback
Very toxic work culture, especially bhaiya
Do it for 6 months try your hands into Tier-2/ tier 3 then firms for litigation or if you can even internships for 3-4 months then give a shot for applying for litigation in Tier 2 / tier 3 firm, Once you get it start LL.M. from a decently known college side by side.
Believe it's worth trying to go.
- she is a woman
- she is a progressive left-liberal
- her father is a senior Congress leader
- she is pro-Palestine
- she is anti-BJP
It's nonsense to expect privacy from a Bumble profile, while everyone in Delhi knows that chutiya is an affectionate term that means "fool". Everyone in Delhi uses it that way. Parents say it in front of their kids.
The most disappointing thing about the whole affair is how right-wing students at Jindal leaked videos of Prof Sameena to RW Twitter accounts and then met with with Haryana women's commission lady and complained to her.
