According to me it's just a bias and old boys network. NLU grads can do just as well as IIT-IIM grads in these jobs, if not better.
JEE is like competing with IQ 115 people and scoring 116 to win.
Half eyed King in the town of blinds is the law career.
The biggest problem on this forum is people keep yapping about STEM, IIT-IIM without any real life experience or idea. And yes if you're wondering if I have any idea, trust me or not, but I do.
Here is a question asked in CLAT 2019 -
In the 64th Film Fare Award, who won the best actress award?
(A) Katrina Kapoor
(B) Priyanka Chopra
(C) Deepika Padukone
(D) Alia Bhatt
I could not answer this question as I am from a part of the country that does not give a damn about Bollywood and would not expect a question like the above in a national level law entrance exam.
Congratulations to you for being a good student in your top 3 NLU.
“You are making gross generalizations about the quality of a paper or student on the basis of just one question.”
Should one judge the quality of an entrance exam only when 10s or 100s of questions are messed up? You don’t determine how many questions should be messed up in a national level entrance exam so that that exam's quality can be questioned.
"Next I'm expecting you to cherry pick a few more questions from other clat papers from other years to support your statement."
Are you accepting that there are more questions in other CLAT papers which are as shitty as the one that I highlighted? Also, you really think I give two fucks about what was asked in the subsequent CLATs? I don't have to go and read the shitty CLAT papers in order for me to support my statement. I shall instead show you another messed up question that was asked in CLAT 2019 -
Beena got married 8 years ago. Today, her age is 11/4 times her age at the time of marriage. If her daughter‘s age is 1/10 times her age, then her daughter‘s age is:
(A) 3 years
(B) 4 years
(C) 5 years
(D) 2 years
The above question was cancelled as there was a printing error.
I did not expect the morons, who set the above question paper, to make such mistakes. Consequently, I ended up wasting my time trying to solve the above question. I did not pay 4,000 rupees only to anticipate wrong questions in the entrance exam. One should also note that many questions asked in CLAT are repetitive. People who set the question paper needn’t apply their mind.
Therefore, you guys, studying in the Top 3 NLUs, are on no high ground only because you scored well in CLAT. Y'all are as dumb as others.
And mind you, for twice the salary as a law firm person, with way higher hiring, with way more.influence on the world and international interoperability
So think before you compare apples and oranges. It's like asking why a wicketkeeper is not selected based on his bowling skills !
- scrap pointless humanities subjects like sociology, history and pol science from NLUs. Replace with quant, stats and finance.
- similarly, scrap human rights law, gender and law, law and poverty etc. Replace more financial law subjects.
- replace woke, anti-capitalist profs educated at JNU with pragmatic, pro-capitalist profs educated at IIM and ISB.
That's how you'll get Wall Street to campus.
The priorities of NLUs (and legal education in this country more generally) is different.
But what surprises me is how can they (or some stupid people on this thread) think a Hindu or St Stephens grad is better than a Tier 1 NLU grad. This is just beyond me. Like a BA from Stephens wouldn't be better than a BA LLB from NLS. The sort of studies involved in a 5 year NLS LLB program would easily outshine any BA program. A simple art grad from Stephens wouldn't even have the financial acumen also. It's just old industrial perception that apart from IITs and IIMs if there are any good colleges then it's in DU. Law schools have started shining in only last 20 years or so. I am sure industry perception will also change with time.
