How do these jobs play out? I mean for a person(especially NLU grad) who might be interested in policy will end up consulting political parties and getting associated with an ideology as a consequence. I have, personally seen one friend of mine, working in political consultancy for a think-tank which is advising a party(right leaning) while this person does not favour the ideology. Says, lack of opportunities & varied pay in such organisations in this sector, leaves no scope to switch as of now.

So this is an excellent career option.

Most people join these think tanks for a reco to study abroad. For a long-term career option it's better to join Vidhi, CPR, ORF etc.
Requesting blue-label status as this is a hot topic! Could NLU grads finally be involved in politics and policy advocacy the same way Harvard-Yale grads are in the US? It will be a massive gamechanger for the country and for law grads if this happens! Anyone you know who is joining these think-tanks? Can you share names and LinkedIN profiles?
I'm guessing most NLU grads would be left-liberal aligned and prefer to work with Congress think-tanks? We do have examples of high-profile BJP NLU grads, such as Vikramjit Banerjee and Jiveer Shergil, but they are perhaps the exception and not the rule?
