Are they opening an office in Kolkata? Insiders please spill some tea.
I am a smoker for the last 5 years. Female 28, Doing Litigation in Pune District Courts.
Please don't give advice like - Breath fresh air. Yes. I know both smoking and vaping are equally harmful. I know it's dangerous. I know there are nicotine rehab options.
I am considering vaping because of no smell and harms to third person.
To smokers,
Which is less harmful Smoking or Vaping?
Which device do you use for vaping?
What do you look forward? Cessation
Taking it too personally will just increase frustration.
Just think that some years down the line you will have the same power.
Why would the liberal/left do this?
There are very few tier 1 corporate law firms which consider 3 year program students for placements/internships at GLC
Plenty opportunities at litigation
yet, from what is observed, GLC gives better opportunities to 3 year program students among other colleges in Mumbai and Maharashtra
From what is heard, ILS management promotes 5 year program students over 3 year program students (better professors, classrooms etc)
Atleast at GLC the college administration doesn't discriminate between 3 & 5 year program students
GLC also has location advantage
Student can intern for 2-2.5 years at corporate law firms
GLC name still holds some value among legal fraternity & opens a lot of doors

What is this gym membership for 10,000/month? Last time I check, Anytime Fitness ANNUAL membership was 24,000 including taxes. You can obviously go to less fancy gyms which will be like 1000/month.
Private will not have any problem but exceptions are always there. Govt jobs you may have issues with eligibility criteria but again if there's a 22 year old and 30 year old applying for the same job, there will be people who may go for young and energetic at the same time there will be people who may prefer the "old" and mature.
Don't be bogged down by the "age" related issues.
Mumbai CapMarks keeps you busy tho. And the members itself were not rude or anything
Do you guys also think that the top-4 NLUs position has been settled atleast for this decade? The top-4 NLUs are likely to remain these institutions only while the rankings might vary over this decade.
1. No, I got them, but only through contacts2. Very few. In my entire batch, I don't think anyone got a tier 1 placement.
3. For the same band and firm, I don't think so but you don't get the same placement as a 5 year graduate to begin with
4. I think you meant "discrimination"? And no, not really, but recruiters do. GLC is still better I've heard ILS doesn't even allow in-house roles to go to3 year graduates.
My advice: if you're doing the 3 year course you're already at a disadvantage so you might as well just do it from an NLU so that you at least have the NLU tag. Try NLSIU, if you're smart enough to get the rank for it. Avoid SLS, ILS and other colleges that have mandatory attendance because placement cells aren't going to help you and you'll have to find a job on your own.
Is it case briefs and research ?
Can anybody tell me how long should a case brief should be and what all should it contain. Thanks
Are top Law schools just for the namesake?
