Pay wise. Ofcourse CB has excellent CM practice but it doesn't have tier 1 pay bands. In that sense I was comparing them. Just don't go to Kanga it is not worth ruining your first experience in Cap Marks. With the toxic culture, low pay, gruelling hours you'll hate the practice earlier.

Minimum 5k per month for me. Costs accumulate quickly and without warning. You need to replace your soap, then your conditioner runs out, then your handkerchiefs go missing, then your phone guard cracks, then someone takes your plate, then you need to buy paracetamol because you fell ill...

See the thing is at every T1 NLU you need to be in the top 10% of the batch to have a shot at a good T1 firm. With the way the market is right now, idk what the scene will be in the next 5 years when you sit for placements, you really need to work hard to get a T1 job. At NLUD, if you look at the absolute figures it might be a bit upsetting but if you see it in context of 17-18 T1 placements out of a pool of 40 ish serious students, the figure is pretty good imo. Merely getting into any T1 NLU will not be a guarantee of a good job and aspirants need to accept that and not fall into the rosy picture painted by coaching institutes. College aate hi thali pe naukri nahi milegi.

Also at your stage, just generally I would seriously urge you to not go with a closed mind that corporate job is the only thing ever. Trust me there are things you dont know you dont know. Go with an open mind and try to explore everything you can get your hands on in whichever uni you end up in.

If you do a statistical analysis of the placement records over the last 5 years, you'll come to the conclusion that even GNLU gets more Tier 1 hirings than NLUD. If getting a well-paying corporate job is your SOLE criteria, then with NLIU's recent struggles with placements, I would place NLUD above NLIU, but lower than the other top CLAT options for sure.

man i was really confused between engg and law and now your post ,

i was not good academically so i failed jee even in my drop year and now going to take admission in local pvt college but in my teenage years i kinda developed interest in law , i am very confused between law and engg .

btw may be your siblings/cousin who are in non engg jobs did their engg from tier 1 engg colleges and they did internship there and thats how they ended up there , it has nothing to do with engineers

As someone from the Batch of 2024, I have a different perspective.

I initially chose science despite not being strong in it, based on advice similar to what you're sharing. I failed my 11th standard exams and had to leave school to switch to humanities via an open board. This period was the worst time of my life and left me deeply depressed.

After passing my 12th exams, I pursued a law degree at a private university, which transformed my life and personality. I discovered a practice area I was interested in and dedicated my 4th and 5th years to internships and competitions in that area. I secured an offer from a firm that I interned at.

Today, I have a 16+ LPA package placement in a domain I love. I am more confident and better at public speaking and writing.

Everyone has different strengths, interests, and ambitions. While a 17-year-old may not have a comprehensive understanding of the world, suggesting a one-size-fits-all approach like "study science" or "do engineering" is overly simplistic. Instead, we should encourage young people to explore their interests and strengths to find their path.

You started with an unspoken assumption that one should make a career choice only based on what option would fetch the most money, even if they dislike doing the job. That is not necessarily true. Moreover, if you believe that what you study in your plus two will determine the rest of your life, then I am sorry to say that law school did not broaden your horizons as much as it should have. You also seem to have very limited idea about the different types of career options available after law. I wish you had been fortunate enough to meet the right mentors/guides earlier in your life.

Base pay is undoubtedly going to be 15.6 because no change in the pay structure for A0s was announced in the annual townhall. Now, for the variable pay, I've so far come across not a single person from the batch of 2023 who was not paid the bonus of 1.5, although this was a little unexpected because their offer letters did not mention this as a part of the remuneration at all.

Now, does no change in the annual meeting imply that this year's pay will also be 15.6 + 1.5? Probably. But is there any means of confirming that before we get our offer letters? Not really. Plus, they might just choose to similarly keep us in the dark about bonus and only out the 15.6 on our offer letter while giving it at the last minute, so who knows.

So these are the possible combinations, but there's no doubt that 17.1 or 17.9 purely as fixed are BS figures.

I’ve decided to prepare for upsc along side my BA LLB. but i’m unable to decide between the two colleges as i’ve been considering jamia since delhi gives an edge for upsc prep given the environment and coaching. however to have law as a good backup option if upsc doesn’t work, glc has far more opportunities and better placements; but then again mumbai lacks upsc culture or coaching.

C&M pays 6-7L

Axiom pays 12L+

C&M has more matters in terms of variety and quality. Since it's quite established, the matters keeps on coming.

Axiom5 runs based on reputation of Samir and Rahul. Both are legends.

The thing is if you switch from c&m to any T1 after a year, you'd still be considered as A0 unless you're quite good. But if you switch from Axiom, you'll be A1 (fair chances).

Obviously A1 is paid more than A0.

Both are terrific firms but reputation wise, Axiom is better. If you are someone to whom reputation doesn't matter as much, go for c&m. I'd go for c&m bcz for A0, the ground work is of PA Level of T1, responsibility is of SA level, you get access to all documents, you are fully involved in the matter, and learning exposure is unparalleled. I would switch to T1 after 3 yrs. I'd have learned so much tht they'd keep me as SA.

It's been on the cards in trying to rebuild the competition team to make up for the exit of their head, Samir Gandhi. The word on the street is that ZM did not want him to leave, so much so that she's giving him big bucks to just stay on as a Sr. Advisor, if even on paper — but they're aware that Axiom5 will soon become its own separate brand and firm, so of course they're trying to make up for that loss through all means — be it homegrown promotions or poaching potential names they can find. Dinoo probably came through RKP's reference, and Kirthi was probably looking to shift on his own after the blowback on AK's mail.

How valuable is reference from a senior associate for an internship at khaitan? I have gotten through an alumni SA who responded to me and forwarded my CV to HR and referred me for an internship, I have not received anything from the HR regarding this? How valuable is a referral from an SA for internship? Do I have hope of getting through?

On the one hand, the pro-Pakistan/pro-Khalistan/anti-India MPs had a field day today, with many winning or nearly winning as independents. But Starmer is a centrist who has made pro-India statements and overtures to the British Hindu community, distancing himself from the far-left Corbyn faction. Labour is also more likely to give visa concessions to Indians than the Tories. And Starmer is a barrister himself.

So is the FTA closer now?

Exactly. I am glad you gave the 'health warning', and I didn't have to. This kid is extraordinarily immature (not like that's anything new for Legally India, but still), and you really want to think if you can handle such a one. You should see some of the responses to criticisms of the broken English. The OP told someone in that other thread to 'STFU'. Imagine the rudeness! If that is how this kid handles criticism, you want to think seriously before responding to her/him.

Wanted to become a CSE. Got fucked over by chemistry. Opted for commerce. Wanted to become a Chartered Accountant. Cleared foundation within top 10 scores of my state (as per my coaching institute). Was preparing for CA inter when folks told me to sit for CLAT so I did without any prep. Got into an lower NLU (NLUO, TNNLS, NUSRL, NLUJAA). Folks drilled in the fear of low passing rate of CA course and bleak future if I could not clear it in first attempts. Join NLU, 5 year vacation, decent internships, Tier 1 PPO, currently in-house and bored out of my fkn mind.
