We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

Ofc doesn't apply to everyone but on a general scale even if 30% of the batch strives for excellence (whatever you consider that to be) there is a intrensic requirement for atleast 40% to do something, hence even if the rest don't do anything, the minimum standard is maintained.
Not the best model for sure but it's what we have at the moment, i believe.
NLUs including the Bangalore one, students, faculty and everyone has no idea about their mediocrity. This culture is pervasive all across Indian academia, industry and professions.
Its all self declared excellence. It leaks in to law firms where some partners claim their teams are the best in the country in whatever niche practice area they're in. I mean if the best is mediocre, then you can only guess how bad the rest are.
Indian law schools and colleges don't have any depth of thought. Hate to take names, but my interactions with people from some east asian countries, their average citizen has more depth of thought and range. A so called top M&A partner in a T1 cannot comment even broadly on a small IPR issue or a capital markets issue.
I'm at a T1 NLU, but when you look at the competition involved, the placements, and general prestige, NLUs are a joke compared to other comparable institutions in other streams. Tech, medicine, business, every other field has stalwarts in terms of both prestige and quality.
Or am I just misinformed and is every stream this bad?
