What masterstroke? Does BJP even follow these principles while giving ticket to its own MPs or MLAs? Nobody believes them anymore. They will announce random things to win elections and then openly laugh at how stupid people have been for believing in the jumla. People have seen through them now over the last decade.

Lol, NLUJ has not even got half the TCs that NUJS has done over the years, or Rhodes scholars, enterpreneurs, academics or anything. In no parameter ever has NLUJ been anywhere near NUJS either. You all don't even have a single permanent faculty and have been criticised by the court for that. Not a single faculty of yours has got a decent publication record. Every faculty wishes to leave NLUJ after a few years for better options. Already three such people have migrated to NUJS itself in search of better opportunities in the past. If only VCs alone could change everything about a university, then Jindal would have been the best university in India by now. NUJS don't need to catch you or anything, we are not even bothered by you. You first be in a position to call yourselves good, then you can start thinking of who you are 'better' than.

You're all fighting over nothing. Professors should come up with broad compound questions such as 'state your core argument, why it is original, how it is vulnerable to criticism and why you think you are right". That will expose all shabby research. It would be in the interests of students to allow professors follow up questions to allow them to explain properly. If they object, then the very articulate will be privileged.

This is a profoundly stupid exercise but allows the professors to skip reading the papers and gives the students no meaningful feedback. Professors should be celebrating.

In what parameter? Nlu Jodhpur is already ahead of Nujs in terms of training contracts and y’all can check this year’s record. As for domestic placements - every nlu has its own year. This year we are just marginally churning out lower placement offers than Nujs. We will match them next year. Plus as you mentioned - new VC. The question is will Nujs catch Jodhpur - like ever?

Please leave at the soonest, who is stopping you? Is it that you really lack any skill to do so? The only mistake that the state ever did was to allow ungrateful outsiders like you entry to begin with. Those 34 years that you spoke of have actually allowed people to develop an open mind, get accessible education and healthcare, affordable public transport and a host of other advantages that you clearly lack. Simple solution, leave. Take your friends along too. We will be better off without you and actually use our resources for our own benefit instead of getting it leached off.

It's not just me but so many of my friends are extremely eager to leave Kolkata and settle in actual tier-1 cities like Mumbai and Bangalore. We don't voice these opinions publicly as it is way too politically incorrect for most Bongs, but in reality this is how we feel about the city's decline. Thanks to 34 years of communism and continued political apathy. At the same time, the Right in India is too focused on silly religious issues rather than implementing free market capitalistic reforms.

So basically what you are saying is that someone is a criminal because another person calls him thus, since the system is rigged against the latter thus not allowing her to actually prove her allegation. That's as dangerous a stance to assume as any, despite your very understandable frustration at the system.

I'm stuck with internship part, that where should I apply, in which firm?

Like, being in 2nd year. of BALLB, and done only judicial, Civil society, research institute , advocate internships .

Which group of firms I should ideally Target to secure a good job at the end of the Graduation? Am I too late? Please help me out.

For those who are in court every day and have an average of about at least 8-10 appearances a month, at least 1.5 to 2 lakh would be the income. It always varies based on type of case and nature of your role in it. As a non AoR, always tougher to justify why a second lawyer is needed on a case.

Yet you are the one who has come here. We have not gone a-begging to bring you. Please run away with your tail tucked firmly between your legs. I would rather have a Kolkata life than the pollution and molestation of Delhi, or the swindling home scene of Mumbai anyday. By the way, you are not clearly a good corporate lawyer, since you can't do research properly. In most of the central government development metrics, Bengal is ahead of most states in the country. Certainly in terms of intelligence and taste of its residents.

If you keep your eyes open, there are literally hundreds of food joints in that area. You can also swiggy from Decker's Lane, the food joints at which have literally won awards for being the most hygienic places for office folks to eat at in the entire country. However, given your attitude, we also hope that you leave the city permanently soon enough.

Only area? How many Rhodes scholars has NLUD produced till date again? Or entrepreneurs? Or pretty much graduates in any field where they have an edge over NUJS? How many moot wins? How many references to their flagship journal papers? The only place where NLUD has got an edge is that they have more money courtesy to the Delhi government and their own scam of an exam called AILET.

1. Work Culture - Not uniform, and pretty ordinary generally. To explain, different partners do different levels of work, for different levels of clients. Some partners practice in diverse practice areas. So, it depends on the partner. Generally, the culture is MNC like + very conservative (nothing even close to a tier 1), at least in Bangalore. Only two partners - one lady partner from NLS and one from ILS are decent to work with.

2. Below average, and varies between the partners. Higher for NLU grads, next Christ and then the rest.

3. Growth aspects - no transparency, and therefore good to gain minimum required experience and move on.

4. Internship & PPO - free work is always welcome. Hiring criteria and expectation like a tier 1, but starting salary like a litigation law firm in Bombay.

Aaye don’t thank anyone. See that’s what LI is known for. Couple of minutes back you were suspicious of doing a quality MBA. Now you seem much more confident am I right? Try to take baby steps and work on them. You will do remarkably well trust me you will. I don’t wanna act like some self-appointed psychologist , but you will do better if you have faith more :)

52500 before tax + upto 70 thousand bonus, you get around 40 only.

Also they will pay you salary after you do bar registration till then 30K.

They will find every other reason to deduct your salary.

The work is good though if you learn you can easily switch to any firm within 1 year.

For experienced real estate lawyers (PQE 5+), usual inhouse salary ranges from 15-22 LPA. Some companies offer more than this too, but it all depends upon the position you are being hired for. Someone with 5+ PQE is usually hired at the position of Manager. Companies that fall herein:

Max Estates;

H&M;

Pacific Developers;

Reliance Retail (they may lowball you too);

Subway;

Thank you for your motivation and insights.

I will consider doing ISB MBA and/or CA . Save up till mid 40s and get back to litigation in Supreme court. But man proposes, god disposes. I m not very enthusiastic and hopeful for anything for past several years .

Thanking you again.

"Social capital"

So? So rich women can be raped? Only disadvantaged victims are victims? Will u say the same for rich people physically assaulted or murdered?

"Candle matches "

Do you not read what you write before making statements? You don't know about solidarity? What happened after the 2012 rape, the 2018 rape, did the state take action in these specific cases? There are rape cases from 2010 pending in trial courts, but the 2012 one was fast tracked in a year. See the power of solidarity?

No. They are doing this to enrich their own CVs too and hence it should fall within the 30% attendance that they are allowed to miss.

Yes. Because university shows off those achievements too to improve public perception. Unless basic encouragement like attendance will be given, students will not get motivated enough to perform well.

Take your pick of arguments.

"Convict example..."

Don't you ever read the news? Haven't you heard of like 100 cases where people are tortured into confessing, even killed? Read the Tamil Nadu example. Do you know why convicts confession is checked, rechecked multiple times before conviction. Even then, judges refuse to do so, if under pressure. Please read the crpc.

"Judges who are mostly feminists"

Really? You think those senior professors are feminists? The way they conducted other proceedings like one NLS professor earlier or many other cases, just read LI stories.

"burn down NLS"

unlike male chauvinistic groups, women don't have history of breaking into places or burning down or commiting terror/ war. It's you who is conditioned to imagine that. They want equality. They want the "criminals" to be held accountable and to point out fallacies in statements of people like you where you attach the character of people instead of actually questioning the facts. Please read language classes and fallacies.

"File police complaint"

Do you even know why posh was even notified? Because

1. The police never take the victim seriously unless it is 2012 delhi gang rape level injury (do mind that the case was not registered at first even here, and officers were suspended)

2. Trial never happens. The accused pays like 5000 rs. Bail and walks free to commit another crime.

3. Even after many years, the man is always acquitted. "Where's photo proof" "no witnesses rape victim?" "A single man can't rape a single woman" "such and such prestigious journal man cannot sexually harass a colleague in a lift" "that's her boyfriend, they're just enjoying" "why was she wearing that" "victim card" "a partner at such a respectable law firm will never do this" "he was just adjusting his trouser in his cubicle for 15 minutes in front of that female collegue, so what" "he just touched her for 10 seconds, that's not assault"

Yes these are real cases and 3 of them from posh cases in law firms which resulted in some consequences only because it was posh. Not saying things stopped happening or women are safe. But there's accountability amongst people.

"SHE admitted"

No she didn't. Who told you shd did? The rape accused? Ah nice, what a source, totally unbiased.

NLUs are fairly new. Plus they have been doing well in that regard if you consider the time span. Also technological skills are far more easily transferable over jurisdictions if you think about it. Grads from nalsar NLS and nlud (even Nujs) have received hefty packages earlier on when they were given training contracts.

The comparison at this stage is unfair

I will be joining as an A0 at a firm next year. I've had a negligible social life and have avoided social interaction during my college life. I am a husk of my former, joyful self. College life broke me somehow. I know that having social anxiety while being a lawyer is ironic. But somehow I'm still working in this field, but struggling. I lack basic conversational skills and I struggle to make friends. Is there anyone who can relate to my situation or even guide me? I've considered counselling but never had the time for it.

Having interned there for a month, I know who you are. I'll admit that Kol KCO was fairly non-toxic but at the same time there are other developmental issues which cannot be overlooked. The worst part is how so many Bongs can never take constructive criticism positively. The infra is absolutely not up to the mark when compared to other major cities in the country.

Hi I don’t think 29 is that late of an age for a decent MBA in ISB or an excellent MBA abroad. Infact this has been the norm internationally. For IIMs the average age ranges from 24-26 while for ISB it has been 27 plus for the last 4 years. You can also check several LinkedIn posts in support of this! So age should not be an issue at all!

However I can’t counter your argument of disturbed mind as that’s fairly a personal issue. But you still have a lot of time. Don’t get occupied by negativity. You can also opt for accelerated MBA programmes if you well academically! All the best brother/sister ❤️

So if someone enters the boys' hostel, she deserves to get raped? Because according to you entering boys hostel is a valid defence against sexual assault. 'Clean hands' does not allow you to challenge the character of the victim, because even if the character of victim is adjudged to be as 'socially bad', rape is impermissible under all circumstances.

It's alright. Kolkata doesn't need spoilt brats. I can get a proper delicious and wholesome meal in the same locality within 100-150 rupees, can actually get a car parking without having to walk for blocks and have got perfectly serviceable infra. On top of that, I, who work at KCO Kolkata, have a decent team, good work-life balance and no toxicity at work. So the more people like you stay away from here with your ostentatious behaviour and entitled judgement, the better for us.
