From the story itself:

"The highest number of freshers recruited were from Jindal Global Law School (JGLS), Sonipat, with 3 students hired on Day Zero and 8 through PPOs.

Followed by Gujarat National Law University (GNLU), Gandhinagar, with 3 students hired on Day Zero and 7 through PPOs.

8 freshers were hired from West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences (WBNUJS), Kolkata.

5 recruits are from National Law University Jodhpur (NLUJ).

4 hires each are from National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (NALSAR), Hyderabad; National Law Institute University (NLIU), Bhopal; and School of Law, Christ (Deemed to be University), Bangalore."

exactly this. why is this marked as contested and trollish? has nobody here had the diligence to even open the link and scroll until the 4th para only, including the mods? CLEARLY states that the law school they hired most from is jindal. if y'all can't even read this properly, what law firm jobs and all you want boss?

From NLS, and I am wondering too. I place the blame squarely on the redundant things we are being taught in law school. Barely any exposure to commercial law. When students pitch in we are told that NLS focuses on first principles and not chasing trends, which is laughable given how many students opt for NLS thinking they will have a shot at the corp firms. At this point, I am actually contemplating a different career option given how there is such deference to social sciences and contempt towards anything related to commercial law...Sad times. The university has also stopped assisting us with placements, it has always been a student driven process that has lead to people getting corp jobs.

The fact that Nluj admin has been always oversmart can be always inferred from certain perspectives. Few months back Nluj opened their day zero doors earlier than NLS which costed everyone their jobs as the college (NluJ) was barely able to place anyone within their batch.

“ NLUJ RCC doing its day z before all other T1s was a pretty well executed Italian torpedo strategy

the scenes would have been far far worse had we come after nls, nalsar and nujs”

We really are hoping the university does something soon. NLUJ has introduced a mess policy. They got in a tender so awfully negotiated that the vendor has restricted on the amount of vegetable each student gets, and restricted egg allocation to one per student. Only Rice and Daal is unlimited, thank heavens. Daal is watered down on most days. Non veg is served only on 2 days, again highly restricted. Due to the vendor's religious beliefs, no eggs/non veg will be served or even the ones we have ordered on zomato can be had in the common mess area. There is clear religious dictum being issued by a vendor on the students. I for one, am a fat kid, lost a couple of kilos, kinda glad I guess but I should lose weight on my own terms not because of a faulty admin and a bad mess. Admin has asked us to wait. They are re-negotiating the same (it's been a month). If the admin does not get the mess' mess in order, students are planning to protest against the same. NLUJ Alumni reading this, kindly bombard the Admin with emails and action regarding this.

Difficult to give a precise answer given the multiplicity of laws involved in a matter, but having a strong hold on CPC, basics of Evidence, Contract, Companies Act, IBC, PMLA, Prevention of Corruption Act, CrPC (for white collar teams) and Arbitration Act should be a good start

What even does the sprint part have to do with law firms being female centric. I have personally experienced a lot of bias and lack of mentorship that was given to average at best male colleagues by male seniors, so do not go around talking about things you have no insight on. FYI it wasn't just my personal experience, almost all female junior female colleagues who didn't want to be sycophants experienced this.

Clear bias. The American conservatives always speak of 'the blob'. They don't realize that there is a 'blob' here, on an Indian shitposting website they've never heard of, which is much more effective than anything they've got! This bunch of people:

(1) deliberately engage in sensership of the truth (see redactions); and

(2) openly take sides when the truth doesn't suit them (see the downvoting pattern).

The plight of state NLUs is now pitiable. One is unable to pay full salaries to faculty, another one does not give proper food in the mess, in a third one female students are not safe, a fourth one where students get ragged for not addressing seniors as "sir", .........the nonsense continues.

And now this.........one can only pity them.

The best of state NLUs are behind them. Valiant attempts by respective students and alumni to create an upbeat narrative are fake (like some random laughable "Roads" scholarship) and cannot hide the internal rut anymore.

I happen to be in my third year of law school and am eagerly looking forward to interning under a good Senior Counsel practicing in the Cal HC, I am willing to work in a firm as well, but I want to expose myself solely to the litigation side of things. So can all of you kindly provide a few names of such Senior Counsels or firms that happen to frequently hire interns and also have a fairly accommodating attitude towards interns? I’ve seen similar threads in LI for Bom & Del, however, I have been unable to find any precise or insightful thread touching upon this topic w.r.t Calcutta (or Kolkata as per your preferred nomenclature). All forms of suggestions are welcome! Anything remotely insightful or informative will be highly appreciated (even sarcasm & satire, for they showcase an outstanding grasp over one’s wit:) Thank You!

In contrast with a lot of articles, this article uses Greece as a metric. Greece is the poorest first-world country. If India grows at 7.8 percent between now and 2047, then by 2047 India’s per capita income in PPP terms may match Greece. So basically what put China ahead is that they had a 25-year honeymoon period where they grew at 10 percent. We need such a period.

Proves that non-NLU grads can do just as well as NLU grads, if not better, if they work hard!

What does one have to do to get a tier 1/2 internship, when they come from a non-NLU?

I am a second year law student pursuing a three year LL.B. course from DU, I wish to get into corporate law, specifically B&F or Fintech or Data Privacy.

Additionally, I’ve done diplomas and other courses focused on such areas of law.

Now, what exactly do I do to get a good internship knowing that most law firms prefer NLU students or students from very well connected private law colleges?

The brutally honest answer is that neither of those law programmes have any relevant credentials — For both, there are no campus placements onto any well-known firms, there currently are negligible accomplished alumni circles, there's a bare minimal corporate exposure, and there's not much of reputation for graduated from either programmes within both the corporate and litigation fields. At least the old GLC-ILS type colleges (for example CLC, BHU, Rizvi, PGCL etc) have some reputation and contacts in litigation, even though they're just as easy to get into. As such, I can't see any ROI on your investment of the money and the 5 long years at all. I'd see much more ROI in taking a gap year and retaking CLAT.

I am considering it on the basis of their culture and my uni's alumni there. Pay is very important for me though, as I have financial obligations. I am confidant about getting a PPO from another firm before day zero since my interview went well. Still, please feel free to correct me about their culture, it'll have a huge impact.

In my 5th year, got placed in a T1 in the beginning of my fourth year. No connections or can't even dream of connections. I made them, pursued and texted alumni, saw what interns had to do to stand out in a firm. Approach and called up boutique firms by randomly Googling up a list. Got good boutique internships, upgraded myself wrote articles, did courses. Started getting T1 internships at the beginning of third year, and worked further and a couple of T1 internships later, was placed. Doing CFA now, not to change fields but to upgrade myself and I know will be a transferable skill. Develop your skills mate, you can't say "I am tired of over compensating" You sound like a Jindal Kid, everyone has to work equally hard.

Worst part is immigration laws in US.

Australia, Canada etc prefer Legal Immigration. In US it's easier to be an illegal Indian immigrant than legal immigrant because of country caps.

Even harvard, Stanford MS students have been kicked out of us because they didn't get H1B.

Worst part is H1B is a lottery based visa. As an Indian it's practically impossible to become an American citizen because of country cap in green card.

Income and corporate success are not the pointers that men are looking for in a woman for marriage. That may be important for you as per the feminist brainwashing. What men ACTUALLY give importance to in women is to - beauty, physical attraction, character, stability in a relationship, good conversation, mental peace when she is with us. That career n all those attributes are looked for in men by women on the top of the charts. This is the bitter truth of how majority relationship dynamics work in this world.
