It’s way better than law firms, people who deny this are just delusional. A friend of mine joined one of the companies in nifty50 for a marketing role after graduating from a tier-2 IIM. The CTC is upwards of 25 LPA, they get to leave the office by 7 PM and no one bothers you on the weekends. The perks are obviously insane (won’t list all of them here, you can simply google it) and there’s no toxicity, thanks to decent HR policies (which are practical non-existent in law firms).

If I am looking to go into some other areas (mostly PSU jobs) and just want to make the best of the placement my NLU is offering, which will be the best firm to work with to have 2-3 years of PQE in the bag and used it later to boost in my lateral hiring chances? (I'm okay with a bit lower package than top tier 1 firms but I'm looking for good work culture)

Hi, OP here. After reading all the comments and talking with my peers and elders, I’ve decided that I will be sticking with NUJS for now but am strongly determined to write CLAT 2024 because I feel like with the less number of questions this year I’ll have a bit of an advantage over those attempting it for the first time. If I get NALSAR in 2024 then yayy otherwise I’ll still be at a T1 college anyways so I won’t be too stressed during the exam and will be able to perform better as well. I personally don’t think it makes a huge difference whether I graduate when I’m 22 or 23 so I’m willing to repeat a year when I get into my dream university. Thank you all for the advice :))

Pls read this thread by sultan of mood swing.. They are a T1 Associate. Never knew T1 firms had such poor WLB

This year will mark the return of NLSIU to the Rhodes circuit. Mark my words. I am 100% sure of it. NLSIU was denied these past few years to give other NLUs a chance, a bit like affirmative action. That will end this year.

Let us also be honest: barring the founder of Jindal, has any non-NLSIU Rhodes scholar done anything great?

Heard recently that in house counsels with 5-6 pqe from NLS and other top law schools are making more than 60 lakh per annum in Bengaluru. A lot of people from tier 1 have made the switch to in house roles as it offers better work life balance also. Some of them were boasting that they barely work for 3-4 hours daily and still get a fat monthly paycheck. Is it really true? Then why don't more people from tier 1 make the switch to in house roles? Is it true that their career will plateau in house roles and they will get better returns in law firms in the long run?

Nagpur’s growing ties with SAM

Proof - a ▮▮▮ LinkedIn post from mnlu Nagpur’s non-existent orientation committee which equates two or three certificate courses to growing ties with SAM. In this way , DSNLU is even better suited for Sam.

Students interning at top law firms :- majority through connections and even then not being able to transfer them to jobs , smhhh

First of all I don’t comment on every mnlu thread desperately to prove that my tier-3 college is somehow relevant with unnecessary factors that don’t even contribute to law school being conducive. Second of all , you are the one who keeps on barging with random placement data (which isn’t impressive or verified , heck nusrl Ranchi is doing better than you guys , have some sense and improve your batch) and trying to prove that your college is mediocre in the tier-3 whereas in reality it’s pretty bad. A campus which isn’t even constructed yet us your only saving grace. Have some idea dude and stop blaming people for your own security. You may be in a bad college , but it doesn’t hurt much to be a good student who is receptive and open to ideas.

NFSU becomes the first academic institution in the country whose reports will be submissible in courts.

nluo has better placements than mnlu for the last three years

mumb obviously has tremendous locational advantage, nluo is completely in a backwater region

nluo has reached the highest point that it can achieve, but mnlu, mumb has still lot of potential, so in 5 years who knows where both unis will stand

personally, having visited both campuses, I would opt for mumbai, which although has inferior infra and faculty allows students a huge opportunity to do a glc

Don't come to NLUO. Your mental health is more important that placement. And if you study decently, you will get the job at HNLU too. The current administration at NLUO is completely pathetic and arbitrary, with their policies 2-3 years down the line firms too will hesitate in hiring from NLUO.

You must be really passionate for nalsar to leave gnlu. However I won’t stop you. I have seen people doing that and they don’t regret it. You have around 5 months. Sit for it. You are not wasting an entire year just for clat and you are in Nujs while giving clat in 5 months. I say go for it 🏹

Yet another great scheme under Sudhir's leadership. Other NLUs desperately needed an alum VC.

Hi guys , can anyone please elaborate on which NLu to choose from among these two? I have taken a seat at NLU-O but has also sought for vacancies in MNLU Mumbai as my rank is good enough.

Compare them in terms of internships , placements and locational advantage. Thanks a lot!

I think there are certain facts about Jindal and LSAT that are quite well established. There's no need to reiterate these facts on multiple posts, especially with such negative undertones.

Yes, LSAT is easy. Yes, it is easy to get into Jindal. Yes, you don't need to be a genius to get into and complete the law course at Jindal. Yes, most of the kids at Jindal are privileged.

Questions for you. Why are you posting this? Why does it matter to you?

Is it necessary for every generation to slog for every damn thing? Does everything need to be a challenge in life? Would you want it for your kids? Believe me when I say it, Jindal or not, privilege or not, everybody slogs once they graduate. Yes, your struggles might be harder, but so were the struggles of those parents/grandparents/ great grandparents on whose privilege jiggles stand. I don't in any way mean to imply that one shouldn't work hard and simply float through life on their family's back. But does everything need to be a struggle? Work hard, earn loads and offer that privilege to your kids. Be that person/ generation that makes it. No one is stopping you.

There are bigger, much bigger things in life than all this shit. Please get your priorities right. NLUs/non-NLUs/Jindal, all this shit does not matter. We're all tiny specks, with little to no consequence. Please stop obsessing over a law school.

A rare JSA catch for AZB. Significant because Aarti ran the whole Chennai office, practically eliminating their presence there now.

JSA seems to be in internal chaos if they can't even hold on to their old faithful EPs, cut costs everywhere. Are JSA coffers running dry? How bad is management at JSA if Aarti is willing to work with ZM instead of JSA Excoms??

This is simply not true. He explicitly changed the entire syllabus of LLM at NLS to be extremely theory heavy. When the LLM students confronted him about it, he said that this theory heavy base was apparently the 'core' of the law and he didn't care that the LLM batch were missing out on specializations (or even learning any actual law) because of this focus. Plus, I've personally talked to students he taught in undergrad and they all said that Sudhir's teaching was very theory heavy. The nature of his writings are not a good indicator of either the style or content of his teaching.

Who should take the moral responsibility?

One of our beloved faculties was kicked out because of his involvement which turned out to be nightmare.

Similarly who should take the moral responsibility for the deterioration of our university in terms of NIRF Ranking?

Time to question.

No doubt the recent appointment of the Registrar is questionable as well.

Just that questioning to the Executive Counsel may be a solution.

Ig this is the toned down version... A while back in the internship questionnaire it was

"Do you have any significant health problems (physical / mental) or medical

conditions (anxiety, depression, asthma, blood pressure, etc.) which may affect

your ability to undertake the task assigned to you ?"

Dont blame them honestly for this approach... Lala ki dukaan hai, defective maal kyu uthayenge.

I'm a Law School batting legend, so I am qualified to wax eloquent on this.

"Upper class and gentlemanly" are loaded words. They imply primacy and benefit of doubt to the batsman, who is typically a rich toff, as compared to the working class bowlers.

You've also got your timeline wrong. Carey threw the ball the moment he gathered it. He didn't wait to check if YJB had tapped his ankle. YJB was stupid, and paid the price. It happens.

I am in one year in my law firm job as part of Corporate team , the hours are just not possible for me now due to health complications. I need my Sunday break to wind up. This constantly thinking about work isn't something that I am cut out for. What are some decent Inhouse corporate jobs or companies that would offer me a break during weekends atleast, like I would kill for the hours that Engineers get in the same company . Is this something that is possible or govt exams are the only option for me ?

Shouting matches and propaganda instead of news.

The cringiest movies and songs that will literally make you vomit.

Absolutely pathetic ads: zero creativity and fake claims.

I’m just wondering if regulation could be an answer to curb this? Have a body which can impose fines? Or tax mainstream movies higher and make good movies tax free?

The new Examination policy seems to be a nightmare for students. No scope of exemption for an individual in case of illness. One can only appear the exam after a year.

However in case of mass illness like the food poisoning that happened last year, admin may give exemption because they need to please masses to save their seat but an individual can’t.

Time for the student council to step up.

I hear you. It happens. Do not take it personally. You will come across such people throughout your career. A singular person's behaviour to you at the firm wont really matter in a long run as long as you are indeed competent and consistently delivering what is reasonably expected; because you never know s/he will be gone in no time to another firm (unless that one person is eponymous to the organization you are working for - in which case move out as soon as you can to a more decentralized place).

Please. Sudhir didn't leave for that reason. He left because he realized that nobody other than MP Singh will treat him with the favoritism that he had been accustomed to receive by then. By all means condemn the firecracker incident, I have got no problem with that. However, using that to justify ▮▮▮, terming it as an instance of 'physical abuse' and calling it the reason why ▮▮▮ is completely disingenuous and arbitrary on your part. Several people have termed commentators who are talking about the problems that they faced with Sudhir as bullies, whereas they are the ones who are doing a fair bit of bullying here, gaslighting others, discounting their experiences and displaying the ever-popular chant of Sudhir can do no wrong.

After its record-breaking 2023 wherein 76 job offers were given on placement day, in addition to the 38 PPOs, what is the likely scenario this time for GNLU? For context, we have got 22 PPOs till now. Only credible sources reply, trolls/disruptors please maintain decorum atleast for this thread.

Why is it a no ball when bowler is even one inch ahead then? why doesn't he get a warning? Mankad is totally fine, why should batsmen always get extra advantage, if someone is stepping ahead he is getting extra advantage. There are rules and there is so called 'spirit of the game.' You sound like someone who was left behind when British left India and is still trying to impress them so they take you in, it's the same with Western countries they cry about 'Rules based order' when there are no defined rules and then habitually break established international law, same goes with English if it helps then win then it's alright otherwise cry about 'spirit of the game'. If they are such firm believers of spirit of the game they should have at least shared their maiden WC title with NZ if not altogether forfeit it, but then they only cared about rules not spirit.

The global borders are vanishing in the legal world. This move shows that Indian Law Firms are keen on maintaining its dominant presence in India by intruding into regional spaces. A welcome move, Indeed.

However, I suspect as to whether this will benefit TNNLU, as it is not even in Chennai/Madurai. (PS: I was from TNNLU)

I would prefer NLUJ over GNLU and probably NUJS over NLUJ. Also keep in mind that the differences are minuscule and now all three have domicile reservations. Pros of NLUJ are good campus life but rigorous acads, at NUJS you have a limited campus life but considerable flexibility.

Please tell how will a teir 1 firm react if a student internship application comes infront of them if -

1. A 3rd year student got 90 percent marks in 10th and 12th and is also having good cgpa like - 7.50/8.00 and have publications also but have no teir 2 internship experience.

2. A 3rd year student got 60 percent marks in 10th and 12th and is also having cgpa like - 6.80/8.00 and have publications also but having teir 2 internship experience.

( Does class 12th marks will make difference)

Ignore if this has been covered by others in previous responses.

One more avenue for IPR lawyers after a good 5-7 years (at least) at the law firm is brand protection teams or IP teams with midsize / big FMCG cos. There is a lot going on in this space. Get an internship if you can to see what it is like to work their and get some idea about comp as well.

Not OP but I'm preparing for CAT too and had an under 200 rank in CLAT. Decided to go for an MBA after my internship experiences at various tier 1 law firms. I've talked to people from top b-schools in the country, and am close with people at large tech companies. The work life balance, remuneration, and perks are way better than any of the law firms.
