Hi Everyone, I don't know if many GLC students are there on this community, but I know we all are thinking about this and we all need to take some steps against this. Additionally the GLC Administration needs to be named and shamed for being this ▮▮▮ and ▮▮▮ about the ground realities. I am going to name each and every ▮▮▮ faculty, LI can decide how they want to proceed with this post, incase you want to black out the names its okay but please don't remove this post.

Starting with the complete ▮▮▮ of the Principal, who struggles ▮▮▮, is disconnected with students and her appointment itself is been ▮▮▮ as mentioned in the article below. She has suppressed the core law activities in the college. She and the admin have made it difficult for each and every important committee to function, including the ADR Cell, Moot Court Association and even the Placement Committee. She on a regular basis declines permissions to these important cells for conducting events only to end up giving permissions for Marathi Mandal and Cultural Committee two of the most useless committees in the college. She has managed to get GLC a extremely poor NAAC assessment by her sheer ▮▮▮, and is now punishing the students for speaking up against her in from of NAAC.

Half the data that has been submitted to NAAC is ▮▮▮. There are no research platforms provided to us, except the ones Government provides for free like NList, there is no Access to any rare book library or gymkhana either. The College is covered with dust, there are no windows, windows are covered with asbestos sheets instead. Upon a mere RTI one can find the sheer ▮▮▮ and ▮▮▮ going on ▮▮▮.

The Administration itself is ▮▮▮. They have tried to introduce Biometric attendance, which 90% of the times doesn't record our attendance or records it in some random subject we don't even have. They don't follow university timelines to declare results, our revaluation results come well after half a year. They can not even print our marksheets correctly. We ourselves have to go and show them the mistakes they have made, and if we are late in doing that they fine us! How ridiculous is that?? We are expected to be on time but the office staff will not come in before 11 and will leave before 4 pm. Not to mention the one hour lunch break.

GLC has the most, incompetent Law permanent faculty. Professors like ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮, ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮ who enforce attendance so strictly, don't even know the basics of law. ▮▮▮. There is a case going on against ▮▮▮ for not following the MU rules while enforcing attendance. But one can not blame ▮▮▮ because ▮▮▮. Both of them have made students beg and cry for letting them write papers.

Coming to attendance, GLC had excellent professors up until a few years ago. Ever since ▮▮▮ was appointed, the quality has dropped. They literally take walk in interviews for faculty that's how bad the situation is. As a recourse students started interning full time to secure jobs, which also Asmita is against. God forbid someone mentions internship in front of ▮▮▮. I believe ▮▮▮.

Please juniors please listen to me. People who are serious about getting jobs atleast, people who are considering joining GLC. Don't come here. Juniors transfer to ILS, NMIMS even PGCL ffs. I am telling you, I used to defend GLC to anyone and everyone. Its just never going to be the same anymore. I have attached a few links below. Anyone who doesn't believe me come to GLC for just a day, you will see what is going on. For the people who already are neck deep into their degree, we need to put Vaidya in her place. Suggest any and every idea you have to fight this, as a reply. I am doing this anonymously because I don't know how much support I have. If I get enough support we can start some offline action.

This is also a cry for intervention, to our Alumni if any on LI. Please please help us. To the counsels in HC, to the Partners in Law firms and to the Members of the Advisory Committee please help us.

Agreed! Asmita Vaidya is the ▮▮▮ stigma to this prestigious institution. When see the list of Principals on the wall near lift, you will automatically realise her ▮▮▮. ▮▮▮. And another stigma is ▮▮▮ (and I am deliberately not ▮▮▮).

The Principal ▮▮▮, she asks to get the bonafide application signed by all professors and if you don’t have adequate attendance bonafide certificate will not be issued. ▮▮▮ she don’t understand the very purpose of the bonafide certificate, why do you need professors sign, attendance for it?

▮▮▮ did not even allowed students to appear for Presentations and Vivas due to lack of attendance, and students were scored out of 20 and not out of 40. When we complained of the same to Principal, after begging to allow us to score properly, ▮▮▮ agreed to conduct internals for remaining 10 marks. ▮▮▮ she deliberately made it so difficult and conducted along with ▮▮▮ (another stigma). The questions asked had connection neither to the topic nor to the subject.

I am seeing students from Tier 2/3 colleges are scoring better than us. NLUs, ILS and other college students are performing better in competitions and winning them. Their college provides research platforms, mentors, they even conduct practice sessions before going to such competitions.

I came to GLC with lot of hope, but with my hope this institution is going down the line with speed of light. Whatever “izzat” is left is because of the meritorious students who are self studying for exams, self learning all the skills, trying to intern at good places, working their butt off to make it in this profession. All my batchmates/friends are fade up of these people. There are no good faculty left. And whoever is there, like Daswani sir and Pithawalla sir are also fade up of the principal, ▮▮▮.

Change in the administration and a competent Principal only will change the current situation.

Hi, as an ex student this is incredibly sad and heartbreaking. I have always raved about the autonomy GLC gave its student bodies and the benefits we reaped. AV’s behaviour is going tank the institution and her permanent position is a problem. Think students should try and arrange a protest/ think of ways of getting her to work with the student body instead of just promoting the two clubs you mentioned above. While spreading this awareness is a good idea, try fighting it.

Arrange a protest to get her to work with the student body? ▮▮▮ She has transferred a senior Professor , made another one leave, and another senior professor says she just stays of her way.

What do you think will happen to us if we protest? These professors that she has gone after are experienced in their fields and leaving GLC won't cause them much harm, but us? If she comes after us, our entire career will be in jeopardy.

The OP has gone ad hominem multiple times, even without which the point of the post could have been equally well put across. I am guessing that's the reason the mods have erred on the side of caution. Please note that it is good to highlight the institutional problems and fallings in this platform in order to get your voice heard, but you cannot remain anonymous and individually target any person including your faculty members. LI can be brought to trouble by those people if that happens. Just to clarify, I'm in no way associated with GLC, and I encourage the students to speak up about these problems. Just saying this as a veteran LI user who has figured out the platform's stance over time.

@Mod: Please feel free to correct me if my interpretation is wrong.

Everything that glc stood for has just faded away. We have to wait for hours and hours to meet with the principal for something simple as getting her signature. They expect us to attend lectures, and we would be happy to do so, if only they atleast provide us with a decent teaching staff and basic classrooms. The entire college is under construction and i have no idea why this had to be done right in the middle of a semster.

I have never seen a college that is out to get it's students like this. They make studying in this college impossible.

Pasting this from one of my letter to principal -

"Attendance - the attendance does not get updated regularly. It is redundant to put mandatory attendance on final year students as they should be free to intern. For e.g.- Symbiosis Law School, NIRMA, etc has system of last year internships.

Faculty - The main concern with GLC is substandard faculty. Students wouldn't have a problem to attend college if the college had quality professors. We feel that we can study more at internships than at college. The substandard education will result in substandard students and bad alumni base. We will soon deplete in good alumni base and face a regressive phase.

Lack of communication - It is important to have communication between students-professors-principal. The principal lacks prompt decision making and when any decision is taken, they are not communicated with professors. It makes the attempt of students vague and result in frustration and sense of disappointment towards college.

Other- Principal needs to take responsibility and bring swift changes whenever needed. She shall address students and not delay them. Students do not feel inclusive. They are put out of loop. There cannot be a college environment unless there are professors and administratives who can understand foster the environment. The administration needs to study new and better college structures, such as those followed by NLUs and implement them immediately.

The gradual decline of college is evident with aggravated behaviour of students towards college's actions, such as various petitions filed in courts. Lesser and lesser placements shows the declining interest of Law Firms. One cannot find an alumni from recent years or current students who can give positive remarks regarding college. We feel very much disassociated with the college.

Last and sincere request, please don't transform the college into a school. Let student's voice be heard and make positive transformations. It will be a matter of time when GLC will be just another City College if it does not keep up with changing times."

Yet another rage post. This has been the situation for a long time now. Principal, Professors, Administration does not care. Whether students cry or die, they are gonna get their salary credited at the end of the month from Government. Nothing is gonna change.

Now it's our responsibility to caution all the young minds about the situation. Please avoid GLC. Don't come here with high (or any) hopes.

Hi.

I'm an ex student of GLC, batch of 2024. GLC staff is incompetent, lazy and straight up rude. They don't do any of their jobs properly. Our batch is facing difficulties in getting enrollment in any state bar council outside of Maharashtra. Because the college has not completed its enrollment with the BCI. GLC only had validity till the year 2020 and not beyond. We have been trying to get our enrollment since September 2024 and the college staff kept ignoring us and refused to help. Especially Siddesh Sir from the admin department. He kept disconnecting our calls and said that we can't do anything.

It is impossible to suggest that the management is in anyway interested in the affairs of the college. This college couldn't even call an electrician to fix the fans and lights, but acts with such haste to set up some gym equipment and do basic renovations to impress the NAAC team.

The student committees recieve less money than promised and are always told about how the college is low on cash.

They have now implemented a shoddy digital attendance system that doesn't even work properly. Moreover, previously, teachers would forge attendance. Now, teachers tell students they have no time for a lecture so give Attendance and leave.

There are very few decent classes to conduct lectures in. There is either construction work going on in classrooms, or the windows are all boarded up, or are so dirty that even the teachers request us to search for a different class.

And let's not forget the professors themselves. There are very few professors who are actually competent. Most are quite incompetent and do not know how to teach. There are some who are disinterested in teaching and prefer to talk about their ideological/political beliefs, some beliefs that reading the textbook of their own subject disproves, and they give good marks to only those who they perceive to believe in their beliefs.

Then there are those who act so vindictively towards students as if they have a personal vendetta against us. And then there are professors who will give you poor marks in viva/presentation for no reason, I've had a semester where this specific professor have most students between 14-18 and only a few students got about 20.

I even had a professor who, during vivas, required to quote the definitions from the acts that they are written in. One of my friends has wanted to work in arbitration and has interned in that direction since the very first year. After asking a few questions on arbitration, the professor declared that since he didn't quote the definitions from the acts, he will give him no marks for viva and proceeded to grade him only on his assignment.

Why would any student want to join such an institution. And from what I've heard, and opposition to how things are going seems to result in vindictive action from the administration. Even senior professor Ratho wasn't immune to this(I expect you guys already know about that case).

GLC in my opinion is done. If anyone you know wishes to join the institution, recommend that they don't. For those who are students in GLC, keep your head down and just graduate unless you are willing to risk being targetted by professors and the administration

Sorry to offend anyone here, but the influence of local M politics (you can use your head and figure out what the M stands for, and its not Muslim) has finally pierced the prestige of GLC. From several years, we have seen notable legal luminaries stop their visits to the College and the intersection of M state politics with the educational system here is clear. For God knows what reason, the entirety of Mumbai University has suffered since the past 2 decades. While DU retains its status as a frontrunner despite many political issues and clashes, MU has suffered. The downfall of GLC is the final straw. Hell, I've heard from associates that even DU has started hammering students for low attendance now. Sad state of affairs for historically significant colleges like these. GLC needs to sack their administration ASAP. Just sacking the principal and keeping the position vacant would do good to GLC, as student bodies are self-sufficient and seem to work independently anyways. At least a vacant principal's seat will not jeopardize the already-crumbling repute even more.

Alum here - absolute joke and shit show of a college. Just a degree printing factory once you endure the painful formalities. I often wish for its complete crumble just because if it’s bureaucracy. God knows what it’ll take to transform it into an actual educational institution of 2025 standards because the millions of escorts have

Hi, a student from GLC here. All of this is unfortunately true. The ground reality is starkly different from the rosy picture painted by the College. All the College and does for students since AV’a arrival is introducing “5 certificate courses” so that “when students graduate from the government law college, they leave with 7 (or whatever her arbitrary number is) degrees”.

The whole NAAC thing was a sham, it was all a farce, the “gymkhana” of the College is covered in bird poop. The library is poorly stocked, the teaching is sub-par, and we definitely should not discuss the infrastructural issues with GLC.

Even after this online anonymous outrage by students, which is hardly a respite, we know for a fact that a protest or any sort of actual outrage is not possible in an institution like ours because the chance of you making enemies from the administration is invariably higher than even the slightest chance of a decent and honest dialogue between the College and its students.

In short, the novelty, legacy,

Government Law College has been a goal for many law aspirants since decades but only till late have we started seeing its decline. The top comment in this thread does talk some sense when describing the bleak status of GLC today and the desolate conduct of its employees in managing the institute. It is important to note however that the employees ( office staff, teaching faculties, administrative start, advisories, etc.) are mechanical components of a larger system ( calling them tools would be derogatory so this was the closest I can get ). Severing the head from the rest of its body will not guarantee a better functioning ( for the oblivious, I am referring for the several demands in this thread wanting to vacate Asmita Vaidya from her office ). Asmita Vaidya is at an important position in this institute and mere vacation of her from her offices will do us no good, instead we have to preach to her wisest counsel in an organised concert, that could be only achieved when we as students, maximum capacity, have a mutual agreement regarding our agendas, and then approach AV to change the state of affairs. Do help me out in outlining more issues in following replies and/or reframing the ones I lay down in this reply.

Issue 1: The Committees

It was the contention of the top comment that some committees are unnecessary in a law college, but NAAC accreditation would be significantly lower had we not had the Cultural Committee or the Marathi Mandal. When we read GLC do we really forget its identity as a college? It is not merely a law institute. Fests are important to a college as important as its academics and ancillary co-curricular activities. Its Maharashtra, why not a Marathi Mandal that handles the vernacular side of collegiate fests? It would be subjective and redundant to restrict our views to arguing on the individual capability of Committees. The only takeaway from this issue should be the Principal's conduct with the Committees and her biased nature towards some. The Senior Cores of the respective Committees alongwith the Student Council should remind the Principal of their necessity in this College and that too with the statistics they need to back themselves up. If the Principal still persists on such biased conduct then the Committees and the student should take it up with her superior authority.

Issue 2: Corruption in GLC

Corruption and Government institutes are oftentimes synonymous, although we should not be assumptious in dealing with them and nor can we turn a blind eye simply by labelling the staff of GLC as a "lost cause". If we have the statistics then we demand an explanation for the unexplained revenue and lack of reasoning then allows us two routes ( do correct me if I'm wrong ), a police complaint or a complaint to a higher authority. Corruption is another evil in society and has to be dealt with as they come. Student Council's shoulders are heavy with yet another responsibility but alas that's the job description.

Issue 3: Handling Internship and Attendance

One of the most important bullet points an interviewer notices on your résumé is the longevity of your internship and they have their rightful reasons for the same. However the world outside has unrealistic demands from Law students and these are often made to work like a clerk but on the pay of a Guard. There is rampant exploitation in the corporate field for young pre-lawyers. At the end of this issue I will affix a link or two regarding one Supreme Court regarding the decrepit status-quo of the current generation of lawyers and their approach towards this field. For those who wish to know more do look up Justice Abhay S. Oka's speech on the Luthra Memorial Moot Court Competition. To continue with the issue, and I am venturing into a controversial area, since the students are wishing to intern earlier than is thought of by MU ( 4th Year was the standard ipso facto of its early morning classes ) then the classes should be conducted early morning, leaving the students with untethered time for their internship and personal indulgement/s. 3rd Year might be the correct time for the students to begin early morning lectures to match their résumé needs. Simultaneously, an appeal with the state Bar Council to issue parameter guidelines for offices offering internships should be placed. It is the practice of corporates and offices to hire interns on no salary or a sub-par salary whilst making them work full hours or even overclock to meet the Office deadlines. The State Bar Council has the appropriate authority to look into such matters and can also issue guidelines and/or refer this matter to the appropriate authorities for further deliberation. However this can not be a one student job and as I have previously mentioned, a concert of students is required for effective dealing with this issue.

Got one more issue to frame but due to time constraints I will reserve it in another reply to this comment. Do help me out with the issue framings, it can serve as a good reference material only if it is attended to by all of you GLC'ers. Do remember things don't change unless you change.

Look I feel GLC is a government institution and blaming a person entirely for the affairs is really wrong. And calling someone incompetent is just too extreme and a narrative building exercise in my opinion. There are lot of people involved in the decision making.

Also since everyone is focusing on the negatives let me highlight the positives since everyone coin has two sides and even on earth its not dark every where at all times there is sunlight!! The college provides a great experience of academic and extracurricular education.

Till now the teaching has been quite insightful and student friendly! There is also flexibility for those with jobs and other commitments.

Faculty is also approachable!

Students are interactive, helpful and engaging!

Job opportunities are also plenty!

However it might be more skewed towards the Five year LLb course compared to 3 year as far as I have heard since firms prefer 5 year students.

But overall the journey has been great till now!

1. Programmes are conducted on a regular basis for students to develop an interest in law.

2. As far as I have seen almost all the committees are actively engaged in different activities most of the time.

3. The canteen and other infrastructure is being developed. Look i feel students need to have some street smartness. Its a construction activity. It definitely takes some time so please be calm and let things happen and once that will be ready obviously it will be for the benefit of students

4.New courses are being introduced like certificate courses on Direct and Indirect tax. I have a first hand experience of that and they are amazing.

5. The library is also accessible and open for students to sit and study. This is not a school that we should expect spoon feeding for every single thing. We hopefully are grownups thus we should focus much more on studying.

6. Also the students portal is now made open so we can discuss whatever the complaints are with the principal directly. So rather than debating it here that has the most potential to yeild a solution on the effectiveness and efficacy parameter.

7. As far as i have interacted with the Principal she was very helpful and interactive. Also she was patient in listening all doubts and problems. Also she is approachable and never discards students and very much open to feedback.

So i feel we are grown up students and we should stop this cry baby mindset and seek help on a website that shall do nothing. Rather focus on positives. Also what i have noticed is that students actively enjoy participating in these programs and activities but on the other hand put blame on one person. This somewhere sounds like hypocrisy. And the internship part is i feel a subject of debate. Since what internships give u is a certificate for doing clerical level stuff rather than actual learning. It might also be positive. Most importantly i feel people are happy when things go according to them but hate when it goes against them. There are international students as well. Look i have been a student of engineering and the principals there dont even interact with students. Atleast the principal here is open to feedback. My experience has been great till now

Thats true the students should focus on studying rather than such stuff. Also the principal is academically qualified in every way for such a job. As students we should respect that. The people here sound hypocrite since they enjoyy the college programmes and here blame somebody else for problems. And i feel this is a sponsored attempt to malign someone

I feel ranting is all these students care!!!

They have no other work to do!!

Look calling urself a “Helpless and Depressed student of GLC” means you have nothing else in your life to do!

U have based your entire identity on the college! And all u need is the college to get better so u can get out of depression! Grow up kid ! And get mature! All this nonsense must be stopped! U under the power of anonymity feel that starting an outrage against the college will gain you your self respect and remove u out of ur so called depression and helplessness! Seriously!!!

Being helpless becuz of a college doesn’t make any sense!!!

And ranting and starting an outrage is all you have done! Instigating people for something!!

Putting allegations is real easy but having any substance i dont feel so!

And its funny calling yourself a helpless and depressed human!! Seriously how can a college make u that????

I support such stuff! Make sure not to self victimise and instigate others to blame one person !

All this feels like a sponsored attempt to malign a person!!!!!!!

Wow nobody spoke when there was no proper principal for 25 years and when things are happening better people complain just because they are not allowed to do internship! Grow up kid

Come out of this keyboard warrior mindset!

And yes doing internship is just picking up files and taking it here and there! What do u even actually learn!! Do u even have foundational knowledge built properly! Ur a student not a person who will learn something by practice! U know what a person who tries only to learn by practice is called! A labour!!!!

Completely agree with every single point my friend, not to mention her pathetic treatment of a very senior, beloved, and esteemed professor Iqbal Panjwani. Panjwani ultimately left the college after teaching for 50 years. Those who are in the know, know that he joined GLC very shortly after the famed Prof. Pithawalla. While leaving, he made this remark, "50 years of relationship with the college was destroyed by her in 50! seconds".

Bhaiya/ Didi pls protest, pls fill pil in Bombay court, pls do something for the sake of the future students as many students appear for glc as an oms candidate in High number, and they even consider glc Mumbai and you all know what's the price of bombay it's comparatively high rather than other States, this is ik this is fucked up par pls address this issue in news channel, paper as it would concern more people and every ex and now student can do something. Do something offline for the sake of the future lives, as you All know bache to aayenge he mera bhi dream college tha nlu ke baad heheh but here is the scariest part of the college.

And here I want to address one more thing - many students got a call for getting admission througlysab money 15 lakhs something and you would get admitted in glc , by reading your article and the main part principal is so greedy for money then this can happen also that they only considered this paitra!!

Rather than this I'm genuinely concern for college administration you all should protest and raised your voice everyone would help you out for sure every damm student.

Aap log law college me ho you should file pil sab milke and even they don't even know basic maths or basic legal terms then yh toh badhia mauka h un logon ko sirf court m sikhane ka :)) Please raised your voice please for every damn student specially future students. 🙏🏻❤️‍🩹

In addition to what we all know ,have heard or witnessed, the principle is the epitome of castism and communalism. I have came across news and have personally met students who were denied NOC for internship due to cast and religion at the same time somone from a higher cast was given the same.

She is genuinely is propoganda Maschine in herself. Which propoganda is quite well known to each and every student of GLC, including those supporting her. In pursuance of the same two other cultural committee (Gujrati and Urdu) are no longer functional, even their nominal presence is absent.

She despise even marathi speaker doing anything other than cultural fest that is why Marthi Moot Court Association has not been able to organise a single moot court competition.

The college has failed to organise SC visit, Delhi Study Tour, Alumni Meet.

There is a registered Alumni Association of the college someone who knows who whose should contact them. Seems our Alumni too have abandoned us.

The college governing council must make a note and so do Alumni of this no longer prestigious college that there is still time, college can still be saved, debate discuss dialogue should be the prime key. Delegates should be sent to Ministers, UGC and BCI.

Anyone who is having enough political support or can muster political support shall start agitation why wait, if VC of RGNLU could be changed, many more things can happen. And yes a curse to AdHoc students council, we need a Full autonomous and powerful and functional students bar association.

Blame self [students] for non functioning of committees. Other committees are working efficiently and actively due to hard work, dedication, devotion and time students are spending. Students of committes are doing hard_work and they are not like you who are coming for name and degree. You can join the committee and make it active.. show your guts ....

The college is doomed. The alumni that it boasts proudly are either self-made or has inherited the family offices. One CAM sr partner told me that - "even though the founding partner of this firm are from GLC, it is not the GLC that made them what they are but their own hardwork and background. You should have reconsidered your decision to join the institute."

This institute once held prestigious Palkhivala Tax Moot. But lost the trust to MNLU after its emergence. This institute once had participants from Oxford and Harvard for participation. But now limited to national colleges. It once had foreign student exchange. Now? When I type GLC into Google, first search comes of a Mercedes car. This is the importance and stature of 150 year old college. Location and behold the trojan horse. Hollow from inside.

I can sense a desire for comfort disguised as concern. How much of this protest was raised during the tenure of part-time principals before Mrs. Vaidya took over? Back then, interference was minimal because part-time principals barely cared about attendance or committees. Students simply interned, took exams, and committees operated freely.

If you dismiss committees as useless, your argument weakens, leaving only a rant. Instead, approach this systematically. Every element matters, but balance is key. You can’t push for change while ignoring the necessity of a structured system—especially when concern was absent as long as the lack of structure was convenient. It’s as if mismanagement wasn’t a problem until it started affecting comfort, and only then did it become a concern.

Whats with this Vendetta against the principle and college???

If you have so much problem with college change your college from 2nd year, nmims or NLU as you suggested , go there please.

I myself have problem with the college but just bcoz your attendance is weak and some faculty doesn’t allow you to write exam, then the college is bad???

Just classic example of blaming the situation and putting the blame on someone else.....with no accountability of self... i have friends who have graduated from GLC... who said 10 years back too there were hardly any lectures held... old faculties have gone, so new are hired, laws updated in last 3 to 5 years, new rules and laws added, and u would want writer of the constitution to be your faculty .

Well for your kind information, it is the students who have maintained the high image of college on their own, with their hard work and achieving substantial success in the field. So don’t blame students. Whatever image is left is only because of hardworking students of gLC and not the lazy, arrogant, egotistic Principal, Professor & staff.

Whatever concerns you have raised, as your senior, I can tell that they are valid and should be addressed. However, you must not speak about the Marathi Mandal. Not all events are approved, and even the main events, after all the arrangements, were not given permission. Do you have any idea how hard we worked to revive the Marathi Mandal? For a single approval or signature, we had to go through so much with the committee. We fought for everything related to the Marathi Mandal, from reducing the number of POs from 11 to 2, to streamlining the process so that events are conducted smoothly. The Marathi Mandal never had enough resources, and now the committee is doing well. And you, coming from another state, blaming the Marathi Mandal—better get your facts straight first. The Marathi Mandal is an emotion for our people. You don’t understand anything about the Marathi Mandal. This is Maharashtra, and here, the Marathi Mandal and Marathi culture come before anyone. You either accept it or go back to your state.

Don't blame others if you don't have a vernacular province to be proud off and it is a college literally run by government of Maharashtra it is a government college? Cultural committees will be promoted here obviously? Should've gone to some private unis if you had so much problem or nlus? Oh wait maybe you ain't smart enough to get into nlus or rich enough to get into private unis and then you come to government run college of a state and start whinning like a bitch because because they promote cultural things lmao grow up lil bro and I agree but will all the problems glc has but targeting one particular committee saying it's communal or what not pls you're a retard if you don't know what government run college means and what you were signing up for.

If that is so, you must be having a problem with teaching in English. You should go in some Marathi college. And while highlighting the struggle to revive Marathi Mandal, you yourself highlighted the problems you faced even to get a single signature, and that’s the same we are talking about. We genuinely feel all languages and cultures are important, but what we highlighted was favouritism towards CC & Marathi Mandal.

Guess who said this...

Coming from different legal education systems and colleges of the country, I have realized that five-year LLB courses are quite long and must shrink to four years. This four-year course should be professional and in sync with the courts, subject-wise. I strongly believe in this way, both students and the legal industry will be benefitted. Considering the current scenario, if a student has five years of bachelor in law, then five years of practice, which makes ten long years. When will a student settle? Just like medical or engineering, undergraduate law courses must be shrunk to four years. Also, during this period, students should be directly attached with courts or lawyers, so that they attain practical knowledge.

is the situation same now ,giving mh cet 2025 this year came across this so thought of setting my cllg options well before ,also pls clarify about internships here,placemnet here FOR 3 YEAR LLB im asking since really confused about this seince GLC is always been as tag oh glc is the hype real or fadded ? like placement inthe sense do top tier law firms take 3 year students or not,also do 3 years get to work in top law firm like intern over there ? pls clarify this since i also gaved nlsat this year for 3 year didnt went well but so i dont think i can have hopes of getting there ,so only option remains is mh cet,so if not GLC then what ? suggest !!!!!! thanks:)

Is GLC Still Worth It for a Working Professional?

I recently cleared MH CET with a 99.395 percentile. I'm an OMS candidate and a full-time senior banking professional with a strong interest in studying law.

Like many others in my situation, I wasn't looking for placements or internships. What I wanted was the brand. GLC, Mumbai — the name, the legacy, the alumni network. That’s what drew me in.

But here’s what I’ve been reading and hearing from students and recent alumni:

1. 1. A principal who is allegedly inaccessible and unresponsive
2. 2. Administrative disarray bordering on incompetence
3. 3. No structured academic calendar
4. 4. No real guidance or support from the faculty
5. 5. Delayed results year after year
6. 6. Infrastructure that's falling apart
7. 7. Rigid and outdated attendance rules with no empathy for working professionals
8. 8. Visible institutional decline — academically and operationally
9. 9. A lack of inclusivity, with clear signs of nativism creeping in

For someone juggling a demanding job and serious academic intent, this is more than discouraging — it's appalling. The more I dig, the more it feels like GLC survives on inertia, not intent.

So I’m now seriously reconsidering. KCLC or NLC may not have the historic branding, but they appear to have more structure, more responsiveness, and frankly, more respect for students' time and circumstances.

Would love to hear from others — especially those in similar shoes or with recent experience at these colleges. What would you do if you were in my place? The counselling window is almost here.
