How can you say the charges are not serious? Just as a Muslim student cannot be shamed for wearing a skullcap, or a Sikh student shamed for wearing a turban, a Hindu student cannot be shamed for wearing scared threads and rings. It's grossly unethical to do so.

Also, showing a dating profile is a breach of privacy. These profiles are not public per se.

Disciplinary action is warranted.

One can understand candidates from Bihar and UP dominating the reserved category lists, as the SC/ST/OBC populations of UP and Bihar are very large. But they also dominate merit lists and frequently top the exam. Most are from small towns and unknown local colleges. What could be the reason? Could it be that such colleges do not mark attendance and pass everyone, which effectively means that one can prepare for UPSC for three years in a row? In contrast, NLU students start prep only after graduation and have a year at most to prepare?

Looks like a hatchet job. None of these are remotely serious even if accurate, except the use of abusive language in class.

Also going by Jindal students' own statements on LI that things in public spaces cannot be subject to an expectation of privacy, I wonder why students think that their dating profiles on public apps should be subject to any such expectation.

What’s your point?

You need to calm down and listen to some Arctic Monkeys: -

Here you go 🤌

Hi,

I have been through this process and having considered it strongly, would advise you against it unless you are absolutely not cut out for law and want to do a MBA to switch fields.

Doing MBA from an IIM does not make financial sense if you are at a T1 Law firm. International MBA is a different scene.
Post MBA, your salary is going to be 25-30 LPA approx assuming you get into MBB Consulting. You will be making more money as a SA at a T1 law firm and the work life is just as bad. Also, as a lawyer, assuming you make it to IIM A/B/C your options are severely limited post MBA. We can forget about PE/Investment banking, since we'll have to compete with CA gold medallists and CFA holders who have worked on balance sheets for the last 10 years. Product management and tech consulting you will have to compete with IIT/NIT toppers who have spent 3+ years writing code and developing software. Our only options are strategy/esg/management consulting. And everyone wants the limited MBB jobs that are available. Not to mention that there are a fair chunk of SRCC/Stephen's grads in IIMs who have already spent a few years in consulting and are now eyeing a bigger post MBA position at MBB. Especially a year outside college, there is very little practical knowledge and big picture understanding that we have. My thought process was this - as a lawyer I can be at the top of my game but as a management grad, every day will be a struggle to catch up with my competition, who knows tech inside out, can do complex calculations in their head, and know financials inside out.

Similar survey was conducted by my senior in Jamia.

Here is the link - https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3541086

Main allegations:

- Student's Bumble profile allegedly opened and discussed in class by prof without permission

- The prof also allegedly "verbally abused" a girl student and used the word "chutiya" in class

- Conservative students allegedly denied permission to speak at Palestine event

- Hamas allegedly glorified at Palestine event

- Another prof allegedly criticised students for wearing kalawa and rings

- The prof also allegedly said that Pakistan has been treated unfairly by India and was given inadequate land during partition

@Tier-1 NLU(I guess nls) & @Legally India (nalsar/nujs) …..what’s up? Just because you both are from tier-1 colleges, you both think you can influence your institutions’s presence over here? All nlu Delhi bashing comments are allowed but nujs/nalsar/NLUJ and nls threads are marked instantly trollish. Y’all don’t have to be nice to tier-3 but at least be nice to your fellow tier-1

NLSIU is not also a good place for every candidate. It depends on the guide. Sudhir himself takes students for subjects that he has got no expertise in. This matter has been remarked upon when those candidates turn up for presentation before the PhD committee or external review board. If you get a good guide though, you will do well. Same disclaimer applies to NALSAR, NLUD, NUJS etc. In India, the guide is the most important factor, not the institution, when it comes to the quality of PhD.

The vision is to run as many legacy EPs as possible out of the firm so that existing bigwigs can benefit from the freed up equity. They are slowing down promotions for existing RPs as well.

Any firm that has lost not one but three equity partners in less than 6 months is obviously not only on decline but in free fall to ruin. One of the EPs who left, Aarti, took the whole Chennai practice with her and the JMPs had to scramble to hire the first person who'd join them in Chennai (former JSA partner).

The thought process is to take the cheapest route to anything, cut costs everywhere except for EPs.

Maybe JSA EPs can tell the rest of us peasants why we had terrible increments this year and a month later all of you went to

B&F includes bits and pieces of Projects, DCM, Fintech & IBC; making it a heavy practice area which is not for everybody. Rethink your life before getting into this hellhole where every deliverable will be marked as "urgent" for fixed fee mandates and zero work life balance. Atleast Capital Markets and M&A/GC teams chill when the market is down, but B&F teams will be still working day in and day out 4 every single dirty quarter. The money and bonuses will be good but at what cost?

As a current student in nujs batch of 28, please don't misrepresent the issue. The full picture is basically one group of people wanting an exam to be held on 4th December, whereas the other wanting it on 5th December. We as students are allowed to vote on our own examination schedule, and a clear majority vote was obtained. This is not a "privileged group" But, according to poll results, 2/3rd's of the batch. What I suspect is that the original author of the post is unable to cope with not having things their way, and is hence crying about their "oppression" On this website.

Not really after the SQE regime. You have to wait for 2 years with no pay and prepare for an exam in the hopes of clearing it. Then you are paid 48k a year, which is barely anything in London.

Work at SAM in those specific areas with international transferability. Then shift to US biglaw after 4 or 5 years.

Continuing peace? You think Manipur is at peace now? The ignorance of Bhakts! The CM is an abject failure, people are still dying every day and there is little law and order left in major chunks of the state. Had it been an Opposition run state, then the Central Government would have been throwing multiple hissy fits by now.

Let’s not forget that GNLU only very recently started even having foreign firms coming in to offer Vac Schemes and TCs. NLUD has had such offers since the very first batch. So the comparisons are simply deluded. GNLU is not competing at NLUD’s level. It’s at NLUJ’s level, on its good days.

The admissions tutor will not be able to see the gender from the application (as it is a legally protected criterion, this data is collected for purposes of trend analysis and EDI matters), however, you may subtly refer to it in your sop (if you feel that it may help)

there is no official diversity quota, however, you would find at oxbridge the pg cohorts are not too heavy from one country, they do this by looking at the sop and transcripts, there is an unofficial geography quota. Otherwise, it would just be Indians and Chinese.

Your FIRST SENTENCE is pure rubbish. Here's why-

You have to work hard but in a good university, with a good supervisor, you will learn a lot. The main thing is that the right foreign universities have very competitive talent and resources, and a good, carefully created culture of learning and scholarship. But not everyone can afford it. If you are here, first decide if all you want is a rubber stamp PhD. If that is the case, find a 'known' university and just do it. Alternatively you can find a good and serious academic as your supervisor who will both teach you things and will make your degree more credible. The best option is to find a university with a good name and a serious PhD program where your supervisor, your fellow-students, other faculty and the institution itself will help you earn a real PhD not a rubber stamp. For all the Sudhir bashing here, NLSIU is probably your best option. But you can get a good supervisor or an indifferent one at NLU Delhi choosing option 2 or option 1. It will limit what you learn but if you don't care about that, it will do.

It depends.

There are usually 3 groups.

My classmates were children of Judges, hot shot lawyers, MPs, MLAs, ministers, senior bureaucrats, industrialists.

Others were children of bank employees, railways, MSME business, small practice, group B/C government job etc.

A lot of them were just getting by on scholarships and such assurances.

Also general policy - don't say things in (semi)public forums like lectures or mailing lists that you wouldn't be comfortable saying in public.

In this case the faculty member seems to be standing by their comments which is a good thing. Also good on JGU to support her unlike the cowards at Ashoka who ask their professors to resign instead of creating an atmosphere of academic freedom.

They are way better than SCAMs, firstly, most Indian T1s are Lala firm and Magic circles are LLP( sort of Company amd Partnership) Plus they have very structured Management who have good employee centric policy. In TCs they really train candidates and not expect to know everything like Associate level whereas in T1s no such thing is done also one is berated for not knowing thing as A0 not given much work so how would they know and they shift responsibility on A0s behave as if A0s are ought to know like A3 or A4. If you find T1s of India there is no merit in choosing the candidate for Internship/Paralegal/ Associate, they choose mostly from College name, Partners Jack/Personal Contact, whereas in Magic Circular there extremely merit based and highly competitive system is there for choosing for TCs like Different Test and various rounds of Interviews. So my friend clearly Magic Circles are good

As a fresher who has joined Trilegal this year, let me say that the talk is not crap. Trilegal is merit driven and sure some teams have a hectic work culture, but isn't it the same across all T1 firms? The difference Trilegal makes is atleast even associates (if they demonstrate quality work and good understanding of the law) are taken seriously. We are the highest paying firm over the family firms were profit sharing is largely restricted to nepotism . Why else do we have so incoming hires from other firms?? The firm introduced a policy on mental health and the holidays are in line with this. Sounds like jealousy coming from another lala firm , how about you ensure that your firm changes it's "great" culture before harping about Tri. Most of us are happy here

Most UK colleges have the options of:

A.Male

B. Female

C. Non-binary

D. I use another term

E. I prefer not to say

The thing is, most LLM courses in commercial law are male dominated and colleges may look to set a cap. So, if we are heterosexual males, if we pick C,D or E, do we escape the cap? Or even earn diversity points? While choosing C could be considered dishonest, one could argue that D is acceptable (as there are dozens of gender possibilities). E would be 100% honest.

What are you guys doing?

You spoke of Trinamool Congress run WB? Let's talk about Congress-governed Chhattisgarh - where hawala and online gambling platforms are funding leadership politicians at Chhattisgarh. Over 500 crores allegedly came Bhupesh Baghel's way with the Mahadev Online Gambling App. Here are my receipts- https://youtu.be/uJPVh_mJY7M

On a lighter note, Dawood Ibrahim's connection with the Mahadev betting racket gave me déjà vu - of the pre 2014 kind!
