And that very same old NLU has also churned alot of good Senior Advocates, which you forgot to mention.

Now tell me, of the people graduating today or those who did between say 2005-2019ish, or even today, where a good majority of these NLU graduates choose a law firm, how many of them will become such judges/SAs? True, their contribution and share would increase, but it will never be the same or even close to TLCs till the day NLUs stop producing clerks joining law firms.

Get it thru your head - people in law firms may call themselves lawyers- but at the end of the day, as regards the OP's question- these law firm clerks would never ever know and get into politics. Every single politician, or even a very high majority of them, have been from litigation.

What do you expect when people from NLUs only want to join law firms? All the influential people in politics are from litigation. Its all dominated by TLCs mainly cuz they started their politics from there. NLUs are irrelevant when it comes to politics anð their politics are v different. This is not to say that any NLU grad would not dominate politics. They need to be in litigation to do the same. Locket Chatterjee is a good example. So long as NLUs keep churning law firm clerks, they'd never dominated in politics. Same reason why hardly any NLU grad is a judge today or a senior advocate.

I think you are projecting your bitterness all over the place. Or maybe pure aggression is how you try to win arguments, since each of your 'arguments' has been an ad hominem attack on a literal stranger you know nothing about.

The fact is, the LSAT is not like the CLAT, and Ivy League schools have many nepo babies. We are talking about how nepo babies get into Ivies. Unless you are in the admissions committee for Harvard or Yale, you are not in a position to speak authoritatively about what the cutoff for someone with legacy parents and powerful networks is.

If this is how you talk to people you know, it is remarkable that anyone is willing to engage with you.

You are engaging in deliberate misconstruction! All I am saying is that your arguments are expressed with such an overtone of bitterness that you seem to have an agenda of some sort other than intellectual armchair discussion in the abstract.

LSAT may not be an "entrance exam" the way that the CLAT is, but you know perfectly well that people whose scores are below a certain level, regardless of other achievements, won't dare apply to Yale or Harvard. I believe that cutoff is generally understood to be 165 or 170.

Please prove you were born by producing your birth certificate! I'm not sure what you are trying to establish here. If it is that LSAT produces rank lists like CLAT and people go to Yale or Harvard based on their rank, I am sure you can produce proof for that. An "entrance exam" is exactly that. It determines whether you get in. LSAT is a test which carries weight not an entrance exam.

The sad truth is NLUs are molding kids to be corporate paper pushers. They are book smart, project smart, seminar papers smart and grade smart. But not street smart. They have no access to real political party influence. The only politics they have seen is small student body politics for SBCs, which is more a popularity contest for a small group of elites. They don't know what politics really is, forget about how it's played.

On the other hand visit JNU, DU or BHU. Not a day goes by when some or the other socio-political BS-ing is happening. The class work is negligible, but the street work is aplenty. The kids may not be book smart, but they're street smart. These kids will not make it to corporate, because even corporate knows they'd question everything in the internal structures. That's why they make better lawyers, judges and civil servants.

So, if you want to live a simple salaried life, then join NLUs, where you'll be taught to be a paper pushing corporate slave.

Or, get your hands dirty in the real nitty gritty streets by joining DU, JNU or BHU.

Yeah LSAT doesn't work like our entrance exams. It is only one factor. A bad score can create problems but a monkey can score well. I understand if these exams are so hard for you that you feel very special when you do well though. US schools look at much more than test scores. They openly accept legacy students, which you would know if you weren't trying so hard to tell yourself that NLUs are ivy leagues.

DU grads aren't just book-smart—they're street-smart. They get how the real world ticks.

We know elections aren't won in classrooms; they're won in the trenches.

Our legacy? Unmatched. Sibal, Jaitley, and the heavyweights who actually shape policy and power.

NLU hires? Sure, they're sharp clerks for the grunt work. But top firms tap them for filing briefs, not for litigation mastery or political chess. That's DU territory.

This is apples and oranges. The Ivies don't have an entrance exam. They are full of nepo babies who, unsurprisingly, have access to power. Harvard has special luxury dorms for nepo babies because they can't live like others. Our nepo babies go abroad because they can't get special treatment - admission or lifestyle - here and they feel more fancy among white people. So our law grads are not hanging out with the nepo babies they need to cultivate for politics. It is as simple as that.
