This is not the gotcha you think it is. While NGO funding is a serious concern, SCAM/TL/AZB/KCO have been underpaying their junior lawyers. Fresher pay has not meaningfully gone up in 10 years, when every other sector has seen 1.5-2x increases for equivalent junior roles.
Maybe they’re just looking for polite ways to turn her down :)
Fancy way of saying "no idea".

My ex works for CPR, and has been, unsuccessfully, trying to get into vidhi. The requirements that I posted above are verified and correct.
From where does Vidhi get the money pay to 60 per cent of the salary that Amarchand pays to the fresher. What revenue do they generate?
Greater cause like lobbying against right to privacy and designing invasive regulations for governments? Sure.
Any research organisation or NGO is better than working at a lawfirm. use your education for a greater cause.
Not accurate information. Experience is always preferable, but not essential. Moreover, there are plenty of people working in Vidhi without any quality publication to their credit. Stop spreading misinformation.
Vidhi doesn't even hire freshers.

You have to have atleast 2 years experience, with references, and atleast as many noticeable publications for their HR to even glance at your CV
What are develpment sector agencies? I'm clueless, can you name a few?
Vidhi starts with 9 LPA to freshers. Differs in case of people with work ex. Hours aren't too bad, around 9-10 per day, Sundays are usually off, can be flexible based on your research topic. Focuses more on deliverables rather than how long you spend in office.
I want to know how much do think tanks and policy organizations (Vidhi, Centre for Law and Policy Research etc.) pay to freshers plus what are the work hours.
