Isn't there anything more to it than Letter of Recommendation?
They want and need judicial clerks. So they advertise for that post. Simple.
Is there some unwritten rule of what a top NLU should do after graduation? Join the famed T1 rat trap?
SC clerkship is a lucrative option for students not inclined towards corp firms or even litigation. The exposure would be invaluable.
If SidC does it, then it's great and classy. If a normal graduate from a mediocre college does it, then it's dilution of quality?
You guys want to keep every career niche? Reserved only for top NLU grads?
God you sound so out of touch and full of air
Anyway unlike 2021, when the dates of interview of the candidates were published publicly, it hasn't happened this year. The interviews have been going on but on the discretion of the judges disregarding the ranks and marks obtained by the candidates.
Moreover, the candidates are being informed of the interview personally, so others are not aware how many are actually done with their interview.
Some have joined also, while others are still waiting for an interview call. All of which is being notified personally.
Candidates are left in an uncertain lurch not knowing who to reach out to for answers and accountability..

I remember reading that Justice Rajeev Shakhder of the Delhi High Court gave a judgment, which forced the SCI to open up the clerkship positions to all Indian law schools.
