Has this space become a complete trolling ground where people anonymously vent their frustrations? Are they simply allowed to sling mud at individuals who are not present to defend themselves? Those who cast aspersions against professors, officers, or VCs must understand the journeys these individuals have undertaken. Criticizing without insight diminishes the integrity of discourse and fails to recognize the achievements required to reach such heights. Let's stay away from it and have some engaging academic discussion.
How is the work culture, stipend and scope of ppo for 2025 batch?
Legally India has become Wattpatt for Tier 2 3 NLUs.
According to your perspective only clat ug will land you a safe job of 17lpa?
Even the private universities are doing better, and it's not about nlu everytime, your package depends upon your learnings, experience etc and even the nlu student with no experience and skills cannot land up with the good package..
So please....
Honestly, an absolutely disgusting and obscene show of wealth. At least Ambani’s mansion may have created a few temporary jobs in the construction business. But what about this shit??!!!

But how much does he pay to his juniors? I have seen some of them in the DHC and they all seem to be uber rich, is this the case for all?
Another thing: When people do make novel contributions, not every sentence/para has some novelty, a lot of space is invested in engaging with existing scholarships, justifying the new ideas/concepts/arguments, defending it, responding to potential criticism etc. Whatever new you do is often very tiny, and that's absolutely alright.
Is there anything one should know before coming to college? Also what to do to prepare for committees becuz heard that getting in is very difficult and often arbitrary, how to make friends at a new place? What should be my goals and aims and how to make the best of the next five years? What is the political inclination, I am a staunch right winger and was told that only Liberal opinions are accepted? How do I connect to other students of my batch before college so I know what kind of company I will be in. Thankyou seniors in advance for your help
1) the finances don't add up at all. 25L on MBA with 2 years of course which in most cases goes to 3-4 with drops. 25L also goes upto 30 with coaching and all.
2) Jobs matching your T1 salary are only via Consultancy, IB, Finance and Sales (but for the very few est colleges for sales). That is also the best case scenario. An average Joe from IIM ABC would probably not be earning too well than you as a Law Firm person in your mind 30s. Post that you may be better because equity or in cases of consultancy/IB they might be earning more but that's a problem of privilege. I don't see the point of having to fight over 7 crores or 10 crores in my ac. Both put you in upper upper middle class easily.
2) the work hours at T1s are bad compared to other standard 9-5 corp (which are also not 9-5 as many would tell you). But leave LI and talk to some lawyers not all despise their job. It's about finding the right boss and fit for the team too. Infact some lawyers like their job but almost all have been lucky to get good partners. Which is a hot or a miss right after law school. If you get a bad partner then talk to your alumna and shift in 2-3 years to better partners. Makes life easy.
We only get lawyers perspective, talk to consultants and investment bankers - they are as content as lawyers are. Work hours are fucked but good money. That's also most jobs. We get a myopic view of our career choices from people around us but before making or dedicating any time talk to passouts from IIMs too, different specialisations. They'll give you a bird's eye view of the MBA job culture. It's not easy if you want a govt job type wlb. Digressing but even CAs and Engineers who were with me in school have times when they don't enjoy their work. But that's work - you gotta stick it out.
Finally only do an MBA if you feel you wanted to from the very beginning. Which is probably not true because you made an informed choice to pick law instead of saying BBA/BCOM from a DU. If you chose law and want to pursue MBA just by the scary thought of joining the law firm life then probably not the best combos, leaving aside the very less probability you'll get a T1 MBA college. This apples to 95% of average aspirants like me, for 5% brilliant ones you can do anything they put their soul and mind to, I wish you the best. Whatever suits you.
So will the left shift to the centre then? If yes, then we could be seeing a massive realignment in geology and politics. In India, though, the discourse is still heavily leftist in orientation.
Ela Bali (JSA) is fantastic. Amazing human being.
Ram (AZB) is superb. Great temperament. He's quite cool.
Samir G (Axiom) is supremely talented. ▮▮▮
Harman Sandhu (SAM) is on whole another level. He is unreal, extremely kind, sweet and confident.
Karan Chandhiok is a gem. He single-handedly fights against T-1s and has beaten them couple of times. He got 100% penalty reduction for Panasonic.
Toshit is nice too but he isn't that senior.
Most of SAM partners are nice and hardworking. AZB partners are brilliant but I can't say the same about their HNLU Associates are poor. JSA has a close-knit team.. they're good too. KCO has Soham Banerjee who is a PA but can go toe to toe with any partner ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮ . CAM is okay. P&A is ▮▮▮. KK Sharma not worth joining. Saraf, L&L and Dsk are dormant. TT&A has subjective views but I think it's good only.
Ofcourse people can say i am coddled or life is not that easy and toughing it out is always better in the long run, but what concerns me is that i genuinely feel like im shedding a part of myself and becoming more dissociated / absent the longer this goes on, which is why I am trying to reposition myself and aim for an inhouse job
The trick is finding out how to even start the inhouse search, but im hoping that 1 year of experience will count for SOMETHING, doesn't have to be much
Not sure about other practice areas but litigation team is great, led by Sai sir, Sidharth sir and other very capable people. 10/10 would recommend!
At A1 level, associates get paid around 20-23L in T-1s. Does LKS pay just as much?
Also, at SA Level, the pay is 35-42+ L. At PA Level, my brother gets paid 55-75L in KCO.
Lmk by how close does LKS matches that. I think the hike is limited to freshers.
Any sort of leads would be appreciative. Thankyou so much!
Is CAM discarding it's own HR procedures now? If cap marks associates can be informed prior to the HR season timelines, surely everyone else in the firm can also be informed about their revised pay? This is without going into the question of whether cap marks associates will not have to wait for arrears and revised pay timelines.
The TMC, a regional party from West Bengal, raked in 1397 crores through electoral bonds and contested only in 45 constituencies in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections.
1397 crores / 45 seats = about 31 crores per seat.
Now, the BJP, running nationwide, had 6986.5 crores and contested 542 constituencies.
6986.5 crores / 542 seats = just 12.89 crores per seat.
So, while you’re throwing around big numbers, the TMC actually had more than twice the budget per seat. With that kind of money, TMC could afford to spend lavishly on their campaign. Remember those massive rallies, extensive ad campaigns, and glossy manifestos? Yeah, that’s where all that money went. Meanwhile, the BJP, with its supposedly huge war chest, had to stretch its resources thin across the entire country.
Looks like the real high-rollers in this election were sitting in Kolkata, not Delhi.
Compare that with Bennett.
