I’m a first gen lawyer, GLC 2023 batch. My peak internship years were during the pandemic, when people from NLUs had also flooded internships, so GLC students had to struggle a lot more with internship applications and getting good internships than we’ve probably ever had to in the past.
Still, got placed in a T1 in day 0. Will be getting 16-17L. GLC can be an amazing place. Depending on how you utilise your time while there. Definitely the best college to consider if you’re from Mumbai/Maharashtra or want to settle down in Mumbai.
The administration and education are not things I would comment upon. (I mean the yearly fees is 6k) If you’re someone who is willing to make your own way, you can do that in GLC.
It has enough of a name tag that it’ll get you though the doors of Tier 1 firms.
Everyone I know who was even remotely smart and tried hard enough is comfortably placed now.
(Fixed the link).
Speaking of it, it's good college, but it's similar to like nokia in upcoming world of Android.
It stayed the way it was, other progressed and changed and with the glorification of hostel-college education, it will be just a glorified college of past.
But it will take another decade or so. But it does give all of it which an NLUs give with just no show off.
Firstly, it is important to note that the average package for our students is not necessarily as high as 16-17 LPA. While it is possible for a few to secure such high-paying packages, it is not a common occurrence for the majority of the batch. In reality, around 60-70 students have been placed, and the packages that they receive vary depending on the firm and position.
Secondly, GLC is a unique law school in the sense that our batch size is much larger than most other NLUs. With 240 students in the five-year course, many of our classmates focus their time and energy on internships throughout their studies. Our placement committee is extremely efficient student-run body that provides students with opportunities for internships and placements throughout the year.
In addition, we have dedicated T1 A0 hiring in August, but these firms also come to GLC for internships, articled clerkships, and paralegal positions at various times during the year. We also have placement weeks in November and February, during which numerous firms, chambers, corporates, banks, and big 4 companies come to college to hire interns, clerks, paralegals, and associates.
It is worth noting that many students at GLC come from influential families, particularly those with a legal background, and they often do not apply for placements as they already have their career paths charted out. A substantial percentage of our batch is deeply interested in pursuing litigation and may not necessarily apply for T1 firms. Instead, they often choose to go for chamber practice or litigation firms.
Lastly, it is not uncommon for students from GLC to pursue non-law careers after graduation. In fact our annual magazine even has a dedicated section featuring alumni who have excelled in non-law careers. Many from my batch are currently working with startups, media, political parties, and pursuing or planning to pursue a second degree such as CA, CS, ACCA, FRM, and MBA.
Overall, while the quality of education imparted by the college is lacking, GLC still holds a good standing due to its relaxed attendance policy, brand name/goodwill, and the impressive alumni network. (I am not sure, for how many more years, all this will keep the college at a good standing)
In conclusion, most students chart out their own paths since their is no mentorship offered by the college and most of its professors. It is only through building a solid relationship with your peers, seniors and juniors one is able to get some sort of guidance. And there is no horde to join just T1 firms.
Hope this helps.
