most teachers can tell the difference between earnest engagement and sucking up. People have a knack for that. The topper is the topper because the topper reads for class every time, stays engaged during the class instead of doing random stuff on their laptop, revises well in advance of exams and writes projects with integrity. Thats really all the secret is. theres no more magic to it than that.

I know because Ive taught at law school. Just be earnest.

Bhai tier 1 ho ya tier 2. Teacher ki Nazar mei jitna rahega uspe sab depend karega. Smartest brains often give up on class discussions in classes and focus on minding their business/ securing jobs or whatever they are actually aspiring. They generally manage off campus too. The rot ones are those who eventually become a profes pet and that image sustains for continuing years and hence most if not all batch toppers esp 1 2 3 and no much the top 10-20% are mere crammers and prof pleasers. This is across NLUs across streams across any recognised formal educational platform. Nothing wrong just human psychology and sociology kicking in.

For instance, I am going to a tier-1 nlu this year and the senior there specifically told me to interact more within the class to gain the teacher’s attention and garner a good cgpa. Is is the same case for each and every tier-1 nlu? Is there any nlu or batch where class interaction is not an important metric?

Have you ever come across any student who intentionally prefers to remain silent throughout the class but does amazingly well during exams?

Hi please read the "featured" comment on this thread: https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/186775-switched-college-late-to-nalsar-from-christ-will-grad-at-27-did-i-mess-up

A lot of people graduate at 25, which is not unusual compared to courses like MBBS. For something as prestigious as NALSAR, I also entered at 20 years of age, and many of my batchmates are the same age. It does not matter, I have batchmates who will graduate at almost 27. As long as you make the most of your time here, you will have a good career right after law school.

In CAM, there's no minimum billable hours target. However, there is a general requirement to bill at least 3x of your yearly retainer amount for getting full bonus (but people reach around max 90% of their entitlement - which, in some cases, is complimented by a managing partner's discretionary bonus, so it makes the total bonus pay out a bit more than 100%). But there's no fixed number of hours that's been out there for associates.

Time to make a list of law firms based on target billable hours yearly for associates. UK law firms have a similar list and it ranges from 2400 hours to 975 hours. This will give a better idea of how you are paid at in your law firms. For example 3legal paying you 19 lpa for clocking 2400 hours might not be a better deal when you see some tier 2 law firm paying 14 lpa for clocking 1600 hours.

Everyone at Legalyst advocates are great people and the founder is really a smart person there is a lot to learn from him and he teaches his interns actively((which is rare nowadays) at lks he used to teach every intern and guide them). I have worked with them while at LKS they are very humble and honest with interns if you intern here you will get to learn a lot of practical things to learn which can be applied in future internships to land in tier 1 law firms easily in any practice area(from my own experience)

I'm a student at a T1 Law school. There is often a unstated going in my college. Whoever wants a job, gets a job. I don't know what happened however for the past few years this has not translated into reality. On two occasions, very distinguished professors who teach at our university expressed concern on how placement opportunities in the uni are drying up. They said this in the context of the 2024 placements. 2024 was a particularly bad year for placements but it was a rude shock for our university which has seen almost 100 percent placement in preceding years. I want to understand from people who have been working in this field- what exactly is causing this assymetry of talent not being able to access good jobs. Surely students in colleges such as mine put incredible amounts of effort in honing their skills. Is it the slow job market, is it the expanded batch sizes or simply a lack of good opportunities for everyone that is causing concern even in so called top universities? Would appreciate some insights here.

Why are there no partner Promotions at CAM Bangalore?

TLDR: Sudhir takes charge of the uni, finds standards to be pretty low ( they were low), revamps the program. But due to covid and tightened programs, there are more than 50 candidates who have crossed the deadlines. For uni, these candidates are going to be a priority for some time.

Candidates have written to the uni multiple times with no response from them for months. At least with new PhD chairs, that has changed a bit. Uni also had a very bizarre approach towards coursework. People have exams, didn't recieve any marks or anything, only to frantically look for them before vivas and presentations.

Some people were given ultimatum to finish. The places where they worked refused to give them leave and they had to leave their jobs to finish PhD.

Very entitled too, as your post indicates. Your faculty are still not producing better research output or publications, nor are your students achieving any higher laurel. Get off the high horse. You are certainly not qualified to decide who is qualified as an academic. Maybe you should ask your VC to read NLSIU's academic regulations better, since he had admitted before a court of law in the past that he had not followed those (by keeping the Academic Council in the dark about that fiasco of an entrance examination, NLAT).

This year, NLSIU started University Fellowship where they will give 30k part month but you'll have to work in a centre/with a prof for about 10 hours/week. However, last 2 cohorts did not have any fellowships. Previously, the was corporate funded Madhav Menon censorship and Thakur foundation fellowship. But these were available for a few cohorts so those cohorts are funded.

I know associates from more than half a dozen Tech/TMT teams.

In my estimation, teams that have relatively good work culture are:

(i) Trilegal, Bangalore;

(ii) KCO, Delhi (Harsh Walia's & Abhinav Chandan's team); and

(iii) Spice Route Legal (Aadya Misra's team).

Teams with bad culture:

(i) Ikigai Law, Delhi (Policy & Product teams).

Can I only be the Faculty or Student at IIULER? Can I be a legal Academician who stood for the overall growth of Students! If you are a Faculty or Student of IIULER, you can clearly defend the provisions laid down by me, especially those 9 crucial points. If not, please don't make get into this.

For your kind information, BITS Law School Mumbai is currently offering LLB only. They are not providing LLM, PhD or LLD as of now! So, please have a thorough Background Study before coming into a discussion and provide guidances!

Dear Student (either from IIULER or not) respect others opinions as experience teaches you a lot!

You need to have better understanding of the difference between national and central. There is nothing preventing an institution from being set up under a state legislation and still calling itself national, so long as it allows entry to students and faculty from all parts of the country.

This guy is a virtue signalling, privileged Oldboy whose taken social engineering beyond pound. Even his anecdotes are foreign, "This is not some Hyde park corner" who talks like that? People in london. Every judgement of his has been a travesty barring two. Look at sabrimala, adultery, ram mandir, army ect, these judgements are baseless and have thrown conventional jurisprudence out of the window smh.
