People with cancer get discriminated against? And the slope is not slippery at all. If there is any identifiable community facing historical oppression and marginalisation, then they are entitled to affirmative action. If you can't understand that as a student of law, then you should study more.

Obvious question to ask is why NLU alum are not similarly donating. Those earning 5 cr a month as Senior Advocates can easily donate Rs 10 cr each.

We can all guess which company! But while I am not a fan of this company, Soros is a prick who funds some questionable causes and is trying to stir up trouble in India prior to the elections. Ideology aside, let’s also remember that he profits from short-selling, similar to Hindenberg.

Walk up to him &ask him. He doesn't attend parties but if u spk to him he will spk to u. The other day I needed help with parking and he helped me out and left, then he turned back introduced himself as Arjun & asked me my name. I did not realize that he is arjun natrajan. But he should be the one as I think I hav seen him argue in hc. His car has a cycle rack.

Trilegal, Indus Law, and many more firms (like Capstone Legal and other medium and small scale firms) were founded by NLU grads. All these founders easily qualify for self made and they all must be quite rich by now!

Although Nishith Desai is not a NLU graduate, but he also falls in this list since he also started NDA from scratch.

I bet there will be a lot more examples as well!

I am assuming you are a NLU or an Indian Univ Grad working in India specifically in Indian law firms. Correct me if I am wrong.

No matter what B Schools tell GMAT is primarily important. 730+ scores for Indians perhaps. Then other scores like GRE, TOEFL etc.

Then quality of work experience. Were you given early promotions, etc. And type of work like were you a corporate lawyer. Amount of work like 3+ yrs.

Then your statements and recommendation letters. I doubt whether adcoms will be unaware of NLUs and firms, they must be having a list of target schools and programmes and they must be aware of NLUs. But things are not as simple as branding.

Your chances infact might increase because you add to the diversity of a MBA programme as a LLB Lawyer.

For now get a Excell GMAT score. Leverage your work exp. Write excellent essays. Get excellent LORs. I don't see anything that stands in your way. Infact foreign B Schools get lesser applications than IIM A.

She came out in public and told the girls hostel about the horrific incident. I was in utter disgust listening how the college administration treated her. The currect administration in ▮▮▮ is a classic example of corruption and abuse of power. I hope she finds the strength to get through this. The story is legit because I have personally seen all the documents. It brings me shame to be an alumni of such an institution now. The biggest irony is how grave injustice happens in a place which is reputed as an NLU as they call themself.

A final year student at HNLU committed suicide earlier this afternoon. At 4:30 pm the VC, Dr. Vivekanandan, and the Registrar, Vipan Kumar concerned an emergency meet in the auditorium. The VC began by saying "this is a unforeseen incident. ▮▮▮ She was definitely not depressed because her CGPA was good and her internships were also good. I don't know how this happened, because everything was going so well." The way the VC implies that the loss of this life was a impediment ▮▮▮ makes one pukish. The meeting is concerned to speak of shock and loss. You inform, pray for the soul, take 2 mins of silence. ▮▮▮

May her soul rest in peace ▮▮▮.

I am pleased to share that GNLU's own Corporate Law Committee has started a 3 year MOU with Khaitan and Co. Personally, I am very happy since this is one of the most inactive Comms in the University, with nobody knowing who the Convenor, Co-Convenor etc. is except people of the Committee itself. Kudos.

Your thoughts on this record-breaking MOU?

Booth>Yale> IIMA

However, if you wish to come back to India, IIMA should be your first priority. While its true that the real asset B-schools is its prestige and cohort you studied with, IIM-A should do finely given the fact that most biggies in biggie companies in India are an alumnus of IIM ABC!

'State Uni Guy' here.

i. Yes. I had a batchmate with a 170+ CLAT rank (but within 200). The only reason he could not join was because he had lost his father right before his boards and there was no way a lower-middle class widow could send her son away to college that would cost her this much. This is not the only time. Have come across other kids on whom life had taken an unfortunate toll.

Regarding iii. Come on man he wanted to join a boutique law firm right at its inception (from what the OP has cleared). Its not like he is whining about a top-tier law firm. I am from a state university and I know differences exist and rightly so. Better faculties, better connections, better alumni network- all of these play a big part. But that doesn't mean OP or others here are not 'relevant' in their profession and would be snubbed by each and every law firm out there.

Also thanks for the non-trollish comment. Baki do naujawan toh censored mey hi kho gaye! Cheers mate!

i) Top Tier NLUs are an investment, not a luxury. If someone takes a loan to study at them he/she will surely get the ROI. Plus a lot of scholarships are also available

ii) We live in India bro, Tu Africa se aya hai to not our problem.

iii) Everyone wants growth , who doesn't, but at what cost?

Honestly, I love reading books too, but I did not read or paint for more than a year due to work. It made me very frustrated. Now I have started reading at least 30-50 pages daily. The most suitable time for me is early in the morning when I am having my coffee or when I'm in bed. I make it a point to read something before sleeping. It can be even two pages or one paragraph. But read.

I was interviewed twice. This is what they sent both the times -

Thank you for applying to Resolut Partners.

We have reviewed your candidacy in full. While there were significant strengths in your candidature, we are unable to offer you an opportunity to work with us owing to certain specific considerations.

We receive a competitive pool of applications, but due to limited openings and a strict selection criterion, several applicants are unable to find a place within the firm.

We wish you the best in your future endeavours and encourage you to apply for future openings.

Hi the student culture is actually really good at NUJS.Seniors are very friendly and approchable. There is no ragging at least not that I heard or experienced myself as a first year. There are all kinds of professors. Some are really good and some are not that great. The placements were the best this year so it is worth it but do have a plan B as it is very competitive.

Lol, cost of living has never been higher. Even if you go by the percentage ratio of share of income to living expenditure.
Population is higher than ever along with access to education and the dream for living the high life naturally resulting in higher than ever competition.

Markets are evolving and older skills are becoming redundant extremely fast. Most new workers need to know skills from multiple disciplines nowadays.

How tf are can an entire generation be the laziest and the richest in such circumstances? Some individuals from that generation are, but that sure isn't the norm.

Got informed that the upcoming town hall meeting will predominantly center around the topic of recalling lawyers to the physical office environment without offering a hybrid work model. Additionally, there are plans to elevate the retainer bands with the intention of positioning SAM as the market leader in terms of compensation.

Anyone else heard the same?

[Update: https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/276141-sam-vad-charade-nothing-discussed-at-townhall-laid-on-instead ]

For office use indoors, stick to freshie scents. The Aqua Di Gio by Armani is a good safe buy. Others include Isse Miyake and Versace. Gucci and Burberry also make decent fragrances that won't turn heads, but will keep you smelling fresh.

For client meetings, it's best to smell expensive but restrained. Get a Dior Fahrenheit or a Prada Luna Rossa range.

For when you're socialising, you want to project but not suffocate. Consider a louder perfume like the Sauvage EDT, YSL Y or the Azzaro Wanted lineup.

If you're on a budget, stick to Zara's lineup which are all clones of popular expensive perfumes with scaled down performance. The Seoul is a good all day use frag.

If you're not on a budget, step into the world of Tom Ford, Versace Atelier etc.

If there will be reservation for people who disadvantaged on factors other than caste or income, then I can argue that alongside trans people the following people too need reservation:

1. Survivors of violence against women

2. Single mothers

3. Children of single mothers

4. Gays

5. People with AIDS

6. People with cancer

You see? We will go down a slippery slope.

You question deserve merit and need to be answered. As a trans person I would say EWS, SC/ST/OBC are the categories so is the transgender. There are various report documenting their backwardness. In determination of reservation of seats, it is the extensive documentary proof with regard to particular distinctive group which matter.

Transgenders suffer violence and discrimination because of their non-conformity and their distinctive gender/sex identity, they suffer discrimination solely on the ground of their gender-identity and they are often prohibited from entering many places this is why there is provision for them in Transgender Persons Act, 2019 i.e., denial of the right of passage in public place. They suffer from the curse of untouchability. Their mother and father abandon them from the time of birth. While coming out they suffer from assault and threat to their life from their own family member. They are killed solely on the ground of their gender/sex identity. They are aborted due to their sexual mark. They are subjected to surgery without their consent from their birth. They often drop out from school and run away from their abusive home. They often resort to prostitution and begging. They suffer isolation and a sense of abandonment from their family member. They fear from public so enrolled themselves in distance education.

What more do you need to know? Have you seen anyone suffer from such severe kind of disabilities. Does EWS/SC/ST/OBC face untouchability, abandonment, threat to their life from their own family, denial of the right of passage. The Transgender community does not hold political power due to their extreme backwardness.

Now I have myself wrote to the Chief Minister of Delhi to register one seat for me in NLUD by issuing a Government Order in the memory of supreme sacrifice of Sahibzada Baba Zorawar Singh and Sahibzada Baba Fateh Singh so as to pay homage to the sons who fought for the faith of the motherland.

I am seeking reservation on the basis of exemplary achievement in the field of social work through the agency of law and Constitution of India.

I cannot get in NLUD from AILET -2024, and now my fate lies with the Atishi Singh Education Minister of NCT of Delhi.

The National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) will set up a new campus in Guwahati, per an official Gazette Notification on August 22, 2023.

Sigh kids. My thoughts and prayers with you.

Only Khaitan and JSA.Other Tier 1s think that even before you join you should slave 2-3 times for them to consider you as a candidate.The worst in the Tier 1 lot are CAM and Trilegal, they dontt want you to go home.You must stay at their office only.Any request is met with a reminder of their greatness of paying an intern.

You don’t know the data then please don’t such statements. The average package stands at around 11 LPA. And the low rankers also getting placed as opposed to being jobless in other nlus. If you look at the percentage of people getting placed in 2023 batch from nluo, then it’s pretty high and a lot better than other nlus.

I’ve noticed a trend in my college where children from regular families (like myself) tend to have names similar to what our parents and other grown ups have. Like Siddharth, Rahul, Varun, Arjun, Neha, Nidhi etc. On the other hand, children from elite families have more glamorous names like we see in Bollywood, like Vivaan, Kiara. Shyra, Shanelle etc.

Anyone else noticed this? I think it’s an interesting social phenomenon! In 2050, when our generation become boomers, we will have judges with names like Justice Rheanna Kapoor and Justice Yuvaan Mehta.
