I think NFSU is better option. Because first of all its and INI, the opportunities you get here, will be far better then any other University.

Next from legal prospective, its in Delhi, the legal hub, exposure that anyone get in Delhi are best. There is supreme court, High Court and many other Head offices of Government. You can do internship very easily.

One more point, NFSU is whole universe with many other branches than Law, so you will knowledge of many other fields and learn their thinking prospective also. So multidisciplinary University

In faculty research, NLUD, the university that submits fake salary data, has fallen behind now. As for proof, it's common industry knowledge. The median salary that NLUD claims isn't possible with their placement, since Indian firms don't pay that much. So go away and stop beating that old horse.

Dude, there is no tier one firm that doesn't come to NUJS. And the placement data actually reveals which firm made how many offers and acceptances. There is neither opacity nor fake data, and an annual placement report published regularly. Much better than NLUD's ▮▮▮ salary claims. As for GNLU, let it publish its full report and settle the matter. Nobody is stopping it.

What rubbish! HSF have been offering jobs to every NUJS batch for years now. There are at least 10 people whom I know personally to be working there at present. NLUJ people are working there too. HSF in fact has always had a very good relationship with NUJS, which is why they even sponsor the moot.

Wrong comment meant to mislead. GNLU is improving but NLUJ has historically had better achievements, whether it's placements/vac schemes or scholarships or mooting. Even with the new domicile quota, NLUJ will have a smaller batch size of 120 and should ideally be preferred over GNLU.

Oh, and no, NALSAR is not better than NLUD. The place barely has any decent faculty left and survives purely on its brand than actual improvements. And now they seem more committed their management programs than law.

So the real ranking is - NLS>NLUD>NALSAR>NUJS>NLUJ>GNLU>NLIU

The maritime practice area as far as ppo and freshers are concerned in India is a little bit lean.

If you are really interested, look for firms and chambers in the port cities.

If money is not an issue, there are numerous llms and courses abroad which deal with this specific subject matter.

If scoring an internship is your goal, you can do the NLUO IMAM moot which generally gives an internship to its winners and best speaker.

If you want to better understand and learn,

You should check out Chambers of George Rebello.

Sudhir introduced these theory focused courses. He got rid rid of specialization. He admitted this to the LLM batch when we confronted him and defended his decision. It's laughable to suggest that the entire course structure of the LLM Course can be changed without the VC's involvement.

Now that it is 2023 with so many surprise exists and shifting of teams across firms. Which firms figure in the Tier 1 League as of today?

AZB, SAM, KCo(Exits), Trilegal(Mass Entry), IndusLaw, CAM, L&L(Mass Exit, visionary passes away), Saraf (Bad Politics), JSA (Management issues)

Ask the associate who has assigned you the work! :) Everyone has a different style of working... If you can't ask the question for any reason, the make the changes in track if you're correcting typos, cross-referencing, brackets etc. and add bubble comments if you have more substantial comments (eg. if you feel a sentence needs to be re-drafted or if page numbering is wrong) and re-send the doc to the junior associate

The root cause of problems at JSA is the 8% bill share. The EPs and Partners do not like to hire too many members in their team cause of the bill share. They make interns work for months without any intention of hiring them or giving them the clarity that there is no open position. Ultimately, salaries elsewhere are more and JSA is till stuck in between tier 1 and tier 2. It is not part of the elite conversation.

On what basis did this prestigious law firm hire you for their Capital Markets team if you have no basic knowledge of the regulations involved and the understanding of the work?

I think the answer is that you are probably from a good NLU and got hired on Day zero due to your credentials.

So many students who have actually done Cap Marks work, are knowledgable, and might be interested in the field don't get the opportunity because law firms in India are too lazy to actually evaluate talents and train them. It's actually their loss because they lose out on all these talents that exist outside the top few NLUs. It is not your fault at all, just so we are clear. We are just a part of a broken system. The law firms are to be blamed for their biased, lazy recruitment. India has lots of sharp legal minds who don't get access to the best opportunities in order to polish themselves and shine.

As for doing capital markets work, you should just switch to an M&A team in the firm. They will teach you the cap marks work anyway, incase you can't switch. It's dull and boring.

Don't mean to be dampener but reality isn't rosy...Lateral hiring isnt like fresher hiring.There are a specific set of openings which are not fresher positions and if the partner finds a fit person they tend to hire soon because work needs to get done.CAM is known to prolong the process as a bargaining chip while they still are mulling options.But let me tell you that when they get back to you after 2 months and if you say yes, they know you don't have too many options and you won't get a good offer. You should look for greener pastries,get another offer and even join.If CAM offer does come,bargain based on new salary.If not, you have not lost out on time.But don't just keep waiting,CAMs not worth it.

Could you kindly answer my questions-

1. Did you apply through the placecom of your college?

2. If the answer to (1) is No, how long did KC take to respond and how did you manage to catch her attention. (I honestly believe she is blind, like most HRs but even so)

Absolute bollocks of a list. HNLU should be in 7th followed by NLUO and RMNLU. This is going by recent placement list, college objectives. If you have other goals other than corp then you can keep RMNLU above NLUO but in no way will MNLU come over these colleges. They have proved nothing neither have they showcased any growth nor potential for them to claim such a high ranking. Always go into the established colleges with a stable administration and alumni. Also, be aware of recent growth.

The HR will summarily reject your application.

Reasons:-

1. Tier 1 Firms do not retain 3rd year interns, unless through the placement committee or contacts, where HR application is not the way to go anyway.

2. Teir(sic) 1 Firms place a lot of emphasis on stellar English speaking and writing (most important, non negotiable). With the spelling errors you made in this short post, no law office will even consider forwarding the mail to the concerned recruiter.

3. Tier 1 Firms put a lot of emphasis on the college, which you have not mentioned. The HR usually have too many applications to even respond asking for the name (some do occasionally if everything else is stellar). Understand the numbers- there is usually just ONE HR MEMBER who deals with 1000 applications every few hours, and the backlog of the weekends where most students send in applications. Be thankful, some HRs actually don't just shortlist based on ranks.

Hiring freeze is far from the truth. The firm has recently onboarded a new partner from D&D with a full team and it seems some more team hires are underway. Campus hire is not the only way to recruit. I believe the firm visited a number of NLUs last year and has made offers to candidates. Several interns have also received PPOs. Comp structure with bill share are far better than other firms.

“That person is an outstanding law graduate and has passed all exams in the first attempt by securing at least 70% marks in aggregate (General/Other Backward Classes category) and 50% marks in aggregate (Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes)....

https://www.scconline.com/blog/post/2023/06/26/mp-govt-mandates-3-years-of-continous-prcatice-for-recruiment-in-civil-judge-cadre-legal-news/

Folks , here ‘passed all exams in first attempt means by securing at least 70% marks in aggregate’ suggests that you don’t fail any exam in your bachelors and you get 70% in UG, it does not suggest any other entrance exam. So chill. Everyone gets 70% in UG bachelors as GPA. If someone isn’t getting that , then you are only outstanding anyway

Excuse me? If you are talking about bringing below 10 lpa firms , then nujs is involved in this more than nlu delhi. Check the records. NUJS has historically brought more mid-tier law firms (for instance Talwar Thakore and Bharucha) and they don’t forget to add that in their inflated irrelevant placement report every summer. And that’s how you people claim , that y’all are ahead than nlu Delhi when in reality even Gujarat is better off in bringing tier-1 PPOs than you guys. Talk about hypocrisy. This is true and hard facts btw.

Please stop such threads. The Indian government has officially declared a ranking of law schools and there has been a clear top 3 hierarchy over the years in these rankings, i.e. NLSIU>NLUD>NALSAR.

Those making allegations of fake data, what proof do you have? Also, I hope you realise that rankings don't just look at salaries but other criteria too, such as faculty research, infrastructure etc. Talk about that first.

It would seem hypocritical if someone who swears by Marx ends up working for CAM and advising Adani. While one reason could be to pay back an educational loan, an educational loan can still be paid back if one works for a think tank. Also, many of these people stay on in firms and become partners, much after the loan is paid back.

So what's going on? Do people have a change of heart and become right-wing? Or were they just fake and pretending to be leftists all along? Maybe to seem intellectual and impress girls?

Most of the times I go for the European kiss on the cheek greeting if it is a female and a handshake if it is a guy. Make sure you dont make it weird while doing the european greeting and never do it on both the cheeks unless you are experienced. I once attempted the maneuver without retracting completely and ended up kissing the lady on the lips, which was awkward.

If you write CLAT, the greatest entrance exam in the world, and score a rank good enough to get into the Harvard of the East, aka NLSIU, the greatest Law School in the world, only then are you capable of doing law. If not, my friend, you are totally incapable of doing law and absolutely useless.

As can be seen from the latest meme of NUJS Meme Society, NUJS has taken a decision to impose electives on students. Rather than choice system where students would opt for 3/10 subjects as per choice, they have made 3 groups of 3 subjects each and students have to compulsorily select one group. The reasoning college is giving is because in choice based system, electives by strict professor who were serious with academic rigour kept getting scrapped, whereas professors who gave easy marks kept getting students.

What are ways through which I can get better at reading judgments and also legal writing?

I've been doing the usual of trying to read one case a day cover to cover BUT BOY DO I STRUGGLE.

Law school was 2 years in covid and I feel like I've been thrown into the deep end.

I start 4th year next year and it hit me last year that the world is not ending so I might as well start doing something.

Thought you had a genuine query but your last few lines make your question sound trollish. Also you can always address someone as ma’am/sir unless they ask you to call them on a name basis or whatever manner. Don’t try to be too woke by going gaga over assuming genders, pronouns and all that bullshit

What sense even? If I’m good in football so I’ll start playing cricket. If law is not your cup of tea you can always shift to a different field and performance in one can’t be collated as a sure shot guarantee of performance or the lack of it in another, also CAT is for MBA IG, what did you imply by cat or mba sir ;)

Hello everyone, I have to fill the NLU preference for the registration of the Clat exam. I have done my deep & thorough research on the web(Youtube,Google,Quora,Reddit) regarding the same.I am thinking of putting NALSAR Hyderabad over NLSIU Bangalore as my 1st preference for the following reasons:

1.CURRICULUM (My biggest Concern, I want to have a balanced life of academics and college life): It's less hectic, more student friendly and approachable(students can choose design their own course by choosing their own subjects) than NLSIU Bangalore bcs it doesn't have the trimester system(I have heard it gets a lot hectic, exhaustive and mundane over time) which NLSIU Bangalore has.

2.PLACEMENT (Major concern): I know both these colleges have good corporate placements when compared domestically but when I calculated the last 7 year Avg package of the both thru NIRF Report NALSAR has an Avg 15.35 lakh and NLSIU has 14.6 lakh , also NALSAR has an higher placement and students going for higher studies ratio compared to NLSIU (Calculated via NIRF Reports) and even internationally NALSAR Hyderabad has 6-7 foreign placements per batch where as NLSIU Bangalore has 3-4.

3.CAMPUS SIZE :55 acre vs 23 acre.I have no problem regarding the fact that NALSAR Hyderabad is 50km from the main city.

LATEST 5 YEAR FEES: 12 lakh vs 16 Lakh. Money isn't a big concern here but it is better to save some and put it somewhere else.

From what I have heard about NLSIU Bangalore is that there is too much academic pressure due to which social life gets hampered a lot, increased batch size has diluted the level of professors as well as they have not yet built hostels(in construction)for the increased batch size for the people coming thru NLSAT as well as the latest 2020 VC crisis where they had protested and made the VC Resign.

Despite all of this NLSIU Bangalore is still on 1st position in college rankings and my teachers in coaching are advising to put NLSIu Bangalore at 1st and NALSAR at 2nd. This is the main reason why I am hesitant in putting NALSAR Hyderabad over NLSIU Bangalore.

I also want to add one thing since I am Obc.I have more chances of getting into NALSAR Hyderabad than NLSIU Bangalore based on the ranks required for NLSIU(171-923, 1&2nd merit 2023) & NALSAR(923-1116, 1st merit list 2023)

So, my fellow seniors studying in these colleges please guide me as to what my decision should be based on the info I provided above.

Tldr: Putting NALSAR at 1st preference for CLAT due to less hectic curriculum, bigger campus size, less fees and better domestic and international placements but everyone (teachers of coaching, mentors on YT) is saying that say NLSIU is older and on the 1st position so put it on the 1st preference. Totaly confused, pls help.

Do it in track, if it's just a formatting error. However, if you believe there are drafting mistakes, feel free to add comments to highlight the specific issues. I have worked with certain associates who prefer listing the required changes in a notebook and discussing them individually. Regardless, it would be best to ask about the associate's preferred method.
