We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.

You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.

They "vyaparam droha chintanam" meaning business is about cheating people
You just can't expect both to go hand in hand. To expect that is childish vanity.
But yeah enforcing and preventing harm with laws and stuff to the best one can, one may. To whatever extent one can be efficient, one may try. But one can't be too successful in that imo.
Imo, these colleges are very administration driven and a bad one can literally break a college (as has happened with NLUJ, NLIU and even NUJS in the past).
Regarding your preference between the two, I would say campus life is better at NLUJ but the opportunities at NUJS are probably marginally better. However, since you will graduate in 2029 if you need up in any of these colleges, I would bet on NLUJ just because Dr. Kaur has done great work at NLUD previously.
Now this is where it gets flawed in India:
1) S&R is super top heavy when it comes to recruitments and internships; where only the cream of the crop make the cut for its ECM teams.
2) CAM simply hires the toppers and does not require previous internships in ECM/DCM so again kids with no experience ultimately bag jobs.
3) IndusLaw has been hiring random people with 2-3 T1 internships in GC for its ECM teams which again is questionnable (also read that they hired a lot of NLUO ppl with directionless CVs at some other LI thread) since they work on the best transactions every quarter.
4) KCO and SAM bleed talent every year because their A0-A2 have sadly understood that this practice area has plateaued in India to a large extent and the only way out is an LLM or a lateral shift to a foreign firm's "Global Capital Markets" team.
5) JSA and AZB have very small teams where 6 months of paralegalships are glorified; that seems like exploitation at worst in the hope of a job.
If I start with a law firm, will it be difficult to switch to a consultancy firm without my experience being discounted (and vice versa)?
I had decided to put NUJS above NLUJ, but recently got to know that NLUJ is getting a new VC. Would that make a difference given the fact that my reason for choosing NUJS was it's more liberal and free environment?
This post is in no way meant to look down on either of these prestigious institutions, just a way for me to make the best decision.
Thank you!

Hows the work environment?
AIBE exam on December 3rd would most probably be shifted again because of CLAT. After that it would be once again postponed.
Imagine how incompetent Bar Council of India is
These are the people who told that they will conduct CLAT. They cannot even conduct a CORE function of conducting AIBE. Even AIBE is outsourced. The only duty was to decide on the date, even that they can it do.
Even people who wrote AIBE Exam last year are yet to get certificate of practice.
They also directly manages IIULER an expensive overpriced law school which doesn't provide anything worth for the money.

reminds me of the time when one of Lalu's daughters went to attend a seminar at Harvard (or one such ivies), then got her photo taken at lectern and claimed she addressed class at Harvard, later the uni said that no such event happened where she was asked to present etc.
Paying Jindal fees for this shit ain't worth it.
Jindal, Ashoka, BITS can't be equated.
you would not find any of the European royals (even the most minor ones) send their kids to these places, they would go to select private schools in Swiss cantons (also known as prep schools) and then the more academic of them would do graduation from France or US or oxbridge. The academically challenged ones will be sent to agriculture college or the Indian equivalent of ITI in Spain. After this they would either join royal duties or join a private bank as relationship manager for UHNIs (read billionaires).
There is already an ongoing discussion regarding this very issue.
Please speak to the guy you know yourself, they have better idea on this.
Had quite the opposite exp. People in Mumbai (from Mumbai not UP) were very kind, respectful and helped around as much as could. Noida people are such aholes especially to women
However, I think LI has become quite mainstream with most law student and lawyers on here. Saw even GS here and was visibly shocked. Also some seasoned senior equity partners. Hopefully will see Mr. Shroff addressing the concerns himself because his HR is useless and doesn't even know how to do good PR. Ever had some senior professors quote things on here and implement restrictions during exams.

Noida is perfectly safe
Secondly, if you need to specifically define comp because you are making the adverse interpretation, inspite of providing reasoning of its impossibility, it's on you sir. Noone reads 5 cr partner as competition. Anybody earning that is 20 plus years in hard-core M&A or at SnR serving foreign mandates or some super star like manan. Not even queen is making over 1.5 cr at max in a good year (2017 to 2019 not anymore)
For clients and lawyers, it's the clients, number of deals, ability to retain clients other than marrying into them, not commiting fraud and getting raided by cbi
The only person making above 1 crore is THE partner. Not every year though.
What's especially courageous about the effort at Jindal is that they have invited Professor Achin Vanaik, eminent pro-Palestine peace activist and one of the leaders of the Indian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel. Will NLUs now draw inspiration and follow suit?
Dear students and colleagues,
I am writing on behalf of several faculty at JGU, who are grieved and concerned over the unfolding of events described as “genocide” by several human rights organizations, journalists, activists on the ground, and scholars. While we mourn the suffering and loss that both Palestinians and Israelis have experienced since October, it is hard not to keep in mind histories of what has been documented by several mainstream institutions, even the UN, as being textbook cases of ethnic-cleansing, settler-colonialism, apartheid, and a long-standing brutal occupation of/in Palestine – often even traced to the moments of the creation of Israel in 1948. In fact, UN experts have termed the current events as a “new instance of mass ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.” Gaza, in particular, which has been at the center of Israel’s current military offensive (though not the only location of such attacks), is often described as one of the world’s largest “open-air prison.” It is one of the most densely populated regions in the world, with over 2 million people living in a fenced area of around 350 square kilometers. It has been under a military blockade since 2007, and people are trapped with limited/no access to clean water, electricity or a proper sewage system, employment, and health facilities for years now.
As the state of Israel inflicts untold horrors on a besieged Palestinian population, including resorting to collective punishment, many of us felt a sense of helplessness. We met together to talk about the ongoing crisis and realized that most of our students, and some of our colleagues and friends have been finding it challenging to put into context all that they see unfold; most share a genuine interest in learning more and educating themselves. Over and above the limitation in piecing together the background, the challenge to understand the present gets further exacerbated in our times of mass disinformation, censorship on social media, deaths of several prominent journalists reporting from the ground, and near-impossible reporting conditions in Gaza without food, water, electricity, and internet.
As we are at a university of international repute and standing, particularly one which puts great emphasis on liberal arts, humanities, social sciences, and interdisciplinary education, it is hard to see this as a distant event. This is especially urgent at a time when universities in Palestine call out to academic communities across the world, reminding us, in the very least, “to fulfil [our] intellectual and academic duty of seeking truth” and to not be silent in the wake of what many term as genocide. (For instance, see the open letter from Birzeit University of Palestine titled “Do Not be Silent about Genocide”here).
With the above in mind, we, the copied faculty members on this email, have organized a teach-in primarily for our students, which hopefully will be useful for all of us, to learn and understand more about the history and politics of the Palestinian present. We are pleased to announce that Achin Vanaik, retired Professor of International Relations, former HOD of Political Science and former Dean of Delhi University, has kindly agreed to lead the teach-in session on Wednesday Nov 1, 2023, from 3:00 - 5:00 pm where he will discuss the history of Palestine and the Palestinian struggle up to the present. We hope that many of you will be able to join us and encourage your friends and colleagues to attend as well.
Title of Teach-in: The History and Politics of the Palestinian Present--A Teach-in
Speaker: Retd. Prof. Achin Vanaik
Venue: T3 Global Auditorium
Date-time: Wednesday November 1, 2023, 3:00 - 5:00 pm
I know its sad that the sunday is coming to an end and on the top, India might lose this one. :(
Need some help.
One of my friends (x) is intending to join Trilegal. X is presently in SAM. X hates SAM. X is a SA at SAM. Can anyone here highlight the differences, if any, between Trilegal and SAM? Is Trilegal better on any front? I’m aware that all this depends on a team to team basis, but still, on an organisation level? Also, how is Trilegal Disputes practice in Mumbai? Worth to take a shift?
Kindly help X.
