What part of the below text was incomprehensible to you?

" Dear Students,

As per the latest communication from ONGC Videsh Ltd., please note that they are unable to offer the opportunities to our students at this time.

However, please note that the campus recruitment process for ONGC Videsh Ltd. for batch 2024 has now been concluded.

Thank you for your participation, and all the best for future recruitment processes.

Regards
Team CPD Cell" "

This is plainly disgusting from ONGC-Videsh who themselves approached us for recruitment and now there is no word from them. Like how can they be so irresponsible and incompetent that they fail to release shortlist even after such a long time. I hope they have not done the same thing in other NLUs where they have gone for recruitment.

If someone knows someone from this company please send this thread to them. Students are not get getting jobs how can they keep us waiting like this?

Im on the back side of 20s with a couple years of experience working in district courts. However, Im pursuing an LLM in financial law from LSE and would like to join a B&F teams in a tier 1 firm when I come back to Delhi. I have 2 questions:

1. Would the specialised LLM help me transition into B&F, given my lack of work ex?

2. Would my age be a potential barrier to entry, since most of my peers would be fresh grads.

Trilegal came to TNNLU because of Lissie. Nag has done nothing except curtailing free speech in the campus. He is not getting fund for students and increasing fee. There is no fund for drinking water, there is no fund for washing machines, mess food but there is fund for luxury car and music system.

Again these stupid posts with some random news and wohi questions - “When will law firm-ites stop obsessing”, “When will law firm-ites stop caring” “When will law firm-ites start eating gobar” yada yada yada. Have y’all lost your minds? If you want people to give opinions on the news then just say that. Harr cheez kyu humpe thop dete ho, assuming that we’re the ones fueling the luxury goods industry of this country. How many Lady Diors have you seen in office? Kuch bhi.

Are you still going to blow up your salary buying such luxury goods? Are these goods really worth it, or just for show off? Should I feel inferior if I just wear a Titan watch and Bata shoes to office?

Recently, TTA’s Dinoo and CAM’s Kirthi joined the AZB competition team. Both Dinoo and Kirthi are relatively inexperienced partners (around a year old) - why is AZB hiring partners from the outside, instead or promoting home grown talent? Also, does AZB have enough competition work to require these many partners? Do such young partners really have enough pull to bring any big clients along with them to AZB?

Also, forgot to add, I am a pedant of the worst kind. My English Literature teacher at school used to say that one of the things she and I had in common was 'a (mental) alergic reaction to bad writing'. She was right. Pardon me, but seeing the title of your thread has, unfortunately, provoked that 'alergic reaction', which is why I humbly ask that people please write properly; at the end of the day, we are lawyers, we work in a legal system which (largely) runs on English as the primary medium of working; I don't think requesting people to avoid the use of interesting grammar is an unreasonable request. The occasional typo is fine, but this kind of error, in my book, is unpardonable.

Grew up on a diet of crime fiction (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle + all the 'Queens of Crime'). Was good at debating and public speaking as extracurricular activities at school and enjoyed them; had a reputation for performing well in English and History (did well at Maths, Physics and Chemistry too, but you wouldn't find me dead in a ditch reading in my spare time about that). Never could keep my mouth shut, loved to argue with people (drove my mother up the wall many times, in the process), was, like Hermione, (justifiably) called a 'bossy knowitall' by my mates at school, loved reading the rulebook in situations where rules were involved and arguing about interpretations of rules, how to bend them and so on; I used to, and continue to, read the newspapers every day like a religious habit (The Guardian, The London Times (especially the law section of that paper, which is fab) and the Financial Times). On top of this, wanted some money in life. Did an evaluation similar to what Dr Watson does of Holmes, his character, his strengths and weaknesses in 'A Study in Scarlet' (wrote this stuff in bullet-point form), and thought, 'which profession corresponds with most or all of this?'; the answer was law (though obviously good money doesn't necessarily come with working in the law).

Took up english grads and then left it for law school next year when my friend decided to take law. Business law attracted me from the very beginning because I would read up for hours how small businesses navigated obstacles to become the behemoths they are today.

If I could go back in time would probably again choose a career in law.

Why has this been marked trollish? The comment is absolutely correct. If you are in this profession where a major chunk of the work revolves around communication, one should be able to speak English properly. OP hasn’t even made a minor error with the past-tense that can be ignored.

Asking you very frankly, don't you think that the said standard is kinda mediocre at almost all colleges again barring the few top ones?

It is common knowledge that academia is not often opted by the smartest of the batch. If they are still inclined towards that they would not be sitting in any one of these law colleges or NLU's maybe except the top 3-4 ones where you can even call it a 'home coming'. Either you pay them so much like JGLS and they stay or they are the top 2-3 colleges. I'm pretty sure you can't even say all the professors are great at these law schools too. So yeah, when you compare the other parameters, it's only exams and attendance.

Bro, it's not about NMIMS or other college. I can assure you that NMIMS kids have better knowledge and grip over the subjects as compared to other college students. No offense to any nlu or other pvt university but I myself experienced at my internship at 'SOME' students from nlu do not deserve that nlu seat for sure. They are because of the reservation and flexing their nlu tag.

At the end, we cannot deny that pvt university students faces lot of challenges and discrimination by the top tier law firms. But still many are shining out because of their hardwork.

So please take a chill pill and don't target any college on this basis.

Differs from person to person, no one size fits all approach. In any case, Ask your CA/ consultant/tax lawyer to tabulate your liability for Old and for new regime. In any case for AY 24-25 default tax regime is new tax regime for businessmen & professionals. If your income is in the range of 15-20 lakhs you will realise that the new regime slashes your tax bill by nearly half.

I can't believe there are so many people trapped in Indirect Tax trap. I know few Associate Partners and even Partners who quit LKS out of same frustration and I am one of them.

The "Tax Lawyer" is such bad stamp that it frustrates you to the core. Headhunters are just not interested in knowing your talents and no place takes you seriously because it is their incompetence that they dont understand tax.

I was from the top 3 NLUs and got into indirect tax out of sheer coincidence. Being in the industry for so long, I felt my talents and potential was being wasted. Neither there was job satisfaction nor pay parity. If only I had gotten into any other kind of litigation, literally any other kind, all the opportunity doors would be open.

I was so depressed with my life, I had to quit law altogether as I felt trapped and not in control. It has been tough but I have been trying to rebuild my life, everything away from the law ofcourse, coz who will hire me now in law when all I have done is f***ing tax.

Im inferring that you mean NUJS. Its really not that big of a deal. I would not call it a mistake at all. I had the same dilemna and chose NUJS too because of my own personal reasons. NLUD has a better campus, better hostels. Thats it. Otherwise its all basically the same. The outcome of attending either of these colleges will be the same. People here exaggerate a lot. Its their way of expressing college pride I guess. But these top 3-4 NLUS are all the same it terms of outcome. Difference is negligible. Dont trust LI its all jobless delusional students

The domains may share such a relationship while at work. That too between criminal lawyers and forensic people only. Same relationship is also shared arguably between a medical specialist in post-mortem examination and criminal lawyers including prosecutors. However, the question is how does this make a law grad from NFSU more employable? They won't be required to do the job of the forensic expert, regardless of whether they might have had a separate elective paper or two in related fields. Any recruiter including the government will employ forensic grads/masters/PhDs for such roles. Hence setting aside the rhetoric, can you please illustrate how do the new Acts make NFSU law grads more employable? Of course, if someone has got both a forensic masters degree and law degree, then it will be better for their career, but that has always been the case for dual degree holders.

It’s not just Abir Dey. Even in M&A, I hear some of the homegrown partners are all actively looking out. According to rumour mills- one of them was spotted in the Trilegal office. Compensation seems to be the biggest factor as what was promised has not been delivered and these folks would easily earn 1.5 times their current packages in any other T-1 firm. Recruiters will have a field day 😂

Let the hunger games begin! The Management Committee and the MP are all busy filling their own coffers, while us juniors toil away!

you'll have to follow up with your team to make sure they fill out your feedback form, and recommend you for a callback internship. once they've recommended you for a callback, get in touch with HR and ask them for a callback internship. they will verify if your team has filled out your feedback and then proceed with your callback. best of luck!

Heh heh....🤣

Hi, I am looking for people who would be interested in writing articles/blogs/papers/chapter, anything really. I am an efficient researcher and diligent towards my work, need someone who could guide me in the sense of finding a topic, structure, etc. Plz contact on below mentioned email. Thanks

Honestly, the most straightforward way would be to read the orders and judgements given by DHC IPD judges. Everyday atleast 2-3 interim injunctions are granted which contain detailed analysis.

Go to DHC website, choose by judge name. Since the IP has just changed, search for the last two judges - Sanjeev Narula and Anish Dayal. Go through the kind of decisions that they have given in past 6 months. It'll help you formulate the kind of advice you'd give to clients relating to contentious trademark issues.

Hi, since there is a lot less info about PIE boutique firms, except some, can anyone name advocates who are into commercial/regulatory litigation taking energy/projects/infra matters? pls mention some who are willing to take freshers for internships I need to get an internship asap pls will be grateful
