If anything, you will be able to understand the subjects better, having spent two years in law school already. Moreover, you are likely to behave more responsibly as a student and the teachers would probably end up liking you for that. One of my students was also twenty in their first year and he was the best of the lot.

Read this: -

“There is absolutely nothing weird or abnormal about it, take it from me. I dropped twice to get into NALSAR. In the first year, got lower NLUs even after a lot of preparation, so the natural course for me would have been to get into a private college but was determined to get into the top law schools, come the second year, I got into NALSAR. And I was 20 when I attempted CLAT second time and I seriously think that I made a sound decision. No one here gives a shit about your age or where you were before or how many attempts it took you to get into the institute, besides why is it odd to graduate at the age of 25? By and large people graduate when they are 23 or 24, what's bizarre about taking a year or two year! You are getting a bigger platform( a great brand value), better opportunities, better infrastructure, best placements among many other things, I see no reason to be ambivalent about it just because you would be "2 years behind your high school contemporaries." In addition to all of this, you are more well read or say more acclimatized to the curriculum than your peers are, giving you a rather good head start.”

Age never matters at Nalsar :)

If this is legitimate, I sympathise the OP. But I really can’t understand as to how certain people in the batch of 2029 can be this dumb? OP please respectfully tell the girl that her seniors who are around 22-24 in their 2nd/3rd year are high class toppers with some of them even striving for Rhodes. Age doesn’t matter and please refer to the above threads.

Regards,

Nalsar’27.

heyy bro, I am 20yrs old and i will give clat 2025 and if i got selected then i will 21 yrs in the 1st year of my clg. why are u looking at ur age ? why dont u see that how much hardwork and patience you have ur so determined to get into an nlu otherwise there are lakhs of students take admissions in pvt law clgs every year . they dont have that much courage and strength which u have shown. if u feel conscious about ur age then others will make u more be confident about what u have and what you are . its better to be 20 yrs old and being in nlusiu instead of 17yrs old in any pvt clg.

so dont make ur age any barrier . good luck , world is waiting for you:)

Once you're an adult, age is just a pressure limit built by the societal demand of the world we live in. They want you to earn your degree by 20s, marry by late 20s, have kids by 30s and then be done with life. That's the slave mentally. However, life isn't a linear line where you do as is your age. People are idiots at 18, 28, 38, 48, 58... they are my much smarter at 19, 29, 39, 49, 59... Point being success and age have no correlation. In the end it's in your mind, smoke it out. You will face ageism everywhere at every moment, but as long as you do everything that's not illegal, you're fine to continue. Just don't let it get to you. Wear your failures like an armor. Tomorrow when you become successful, all these doubters will line up to kiss your derriere irrespective of age.

Lmao, not at all. In fact you are well within the median age.

Check these links for consolation. No one will validate until you prove yourself to be of tough mettle. No one really cares about age, but check these still.

You people are really ignorant. Biology as a science has a lot of obsolete aspects to it, one of which is the binary concept of sexuality. Research in gender studies and queer studies has shown this. So what Justice Chandrachud is doing is simply keeping up with the times. Well done to him.

https://maritime-executive.com/article/indian-government-wants-to-launch-new-line-to-lower-shipping-costs

So, if India starts its own shipping line, would this mean the demand for maritime lawyers would grow rapidly, and would we see the emergence of maritime law specialized teams in Tier 1 law firms?

I agree this is scary and unjust. But you cant have it both ways. Both rape against men and marital rape should be made illegal. Any man or woman who objects to either one of these is equally bigoted and horrible. Rape is wrong whether it is commited against men or within marriage.

I dont have a problem with criminalizing marital rape as long as it is criminalized for both men and women. Marital rape happens differently for men and women. If a man feels tired and does not want to do it, woman labels such man as not a real man who can't satisfy his wife. So, if it is criminalized, it should be gender neutral

And I am glad that he is taking his time out to be actually responsible lol. Firstly, 2-3 years age gap is quite common at NLUs (it anyway doesn’t differentiate the IQ) and secondly, I am glad a person is actually doing some meaningful work while OP is complaining about it. Not going to allow such posts from near future.

My basic application was ok. but the watson glaser messed up everything. I don't think it is a good way to judge. I remember ticking the best option out of all and it made complete sense.

After my test, i checked online and found out that all questions have answers available online and it makes no sense to judge someone on an unproctored test such as the watson glaser.

my agile mindset test had highest scoring attribute - working with others and resilience. lowest was critical thinking

Wonder why the "RTI activist" and now TMC MP Gokhale is so inactive and silent when it comes to SIC of WB, which statistically is slated to take 42 years to dispose off the appeals. Everyone knows that SIC in WB is a joke (many other states too) and is packed with acolytes of Madam Kindness.

Because filing RTI is such a hassle in this state and the road thereafter becomes even more Kafkaesque, most folks simply stay away. Forget state govt depts, just try NUJS.

Hey SJA, why don't you give it a go?

1. Why hasn't NKC completed and uploaded the inquiries against PIB and Co that were mandated by EC between 2018-20? This includes inquiries which would have affected veteran acolytes of NKC who secured Professor and AP positions under NKC.

2. Why hasn't NKC implemented the recommendations of the Justice (Rtd) PN Sinha Inquiry Comm. which was appointed by DD when he was in the Cal HC? Since NKC never completed the EC-mandated inquiry against PIB and Co, we will never known why PIB and his friends buried the Justice Sinha Inquiry Report and with whose blessings.

3. Till date NUJS under NKC has had to refund more than Rs 6 crores to UGC. The SJA in 2018 had raised all these issues (and the reason SAK scooted only to return when NKC took over). But NKC killed off all those inquiries. This EC, packed with friends of NKC, too has directed CAG audit of UGC funds received, spent and refunded as also forensic audit of univ finances since the time of PIB. But NKC has done nothing. Why?

4. The EC has also tasked NKC to have an inquiry done on distance education matter, including on the conflict of interest surrounding the Effulgent "deal" and unauthorised payments to iPleaders etc. But NKC has done nothing. Instead he is busy green lighting PGD courses (shepherded by his acolytes) to be conducted "directly" by the univ. What explains the foot-dragging by NKC?

One could go on. But the other interesting question is why the SJA chose to bypass all these things and pick up the lame SH issue? Shouldn't the SJA known better? Has it wised up now?

Another day another paragraph with unnecessary taunts, fancy words, unsolicited opinion and not answering the question. This feels like a sitcom based on law :'3.

In short: international law (public or private) would mean law that deals with inter state or state investor or even trans-national issues. All firms domestic and international can do it.

International firms work majorly on same practices as domestic Indian firms, different jurisdiction almost same work.

Our university has shaped the mooting culture in a very positive way by reimbursing mooting expenses, regardless of whether one is eliminated in domestic moots, since its inception in 2016. Other NLUs mostly reimburse only if certain criteria are met, which is non-existent in our beloved Santara Law University.

This policy remained unchanged even during the COVID-19 pandemic and financial shortages under the Udhhav regime (who didn't even attend the inaugural ceremony of the academic block, for obvious reasons, since NLUs have been a pet project of the BJP-led government in the state).

It's true that the financial situation is not as rosy as it should be, but even then, the policy remains intact. Though the reimbursement process is cumbersome and might take a semester to complete, it's still beneficial as it doesn't let costs become a barrier for the underprivileged.

Speaking specifically about these individuals and the moot, if you want to help, then do so; if not, at least please refrain from making them feel otherwise by passing unwarranted comments.

Times can be grim or rosy. If you can't support, then please refrain from making demoralizing remarks.

Do you really think the people who make decisions on the matters you mention would care about activity on Legally India? Even if they didn't know about this hellsite, which is India's legal community's equivalent of X/Twitter in sesspit terms, they only have to look at it for two seconds to see that credible people wouldn't be found here. Therefore, if this is activity done for that reason, the OP will have made a really stupid decision, and won't actually be '[following] the money'.

Obviously, because people like you, who think CLAT sets you up for life, have flunked every exam you took ever since (resulting in you developing an unjustified sense of resentment and sour grapes against a society and a profession which sets store by your post-CLAT academic performance), meaning that you are hardly credible sources to guide people who have greater ability of self-reflection and realize that CLAT is the beginning, not the end, of life. As there is such a deplorable lack of good sources of guidance, some people have to fill the void; as long as they aren't flunkies like you, that's good enough for me (and this person does look like someone who's made something of their life, instead of being a no-account, good-for-nothing scrounger who does anonymous crybaby acts on platforms like this). Thanks, have a good day.

1. Music to listen to: Beethoven - especially Violin Concerto in D Major, Piano Concerto No. 5 in E Flat Major ("Emperor") (especially listen to MVT. 1 and MVT. 3), Variations on God Save the King in C Major; Mozart - Piano Sonatas Nos 11, 12 and 14, Fantasia in C Minor, Horn Concerto no. 1 in D Major, The Marriage of Figaro (Overture), Clarinet Concerto in A Major, MVT II: Adagio, Serenade no. 9 in D Major, MVT 6: Menuet and Trio, Variations for Piano in C Major; Chopin - Polonaise in A Flat Major, Scherzo No. 2 in B Flat Minor, Waltz in E Flat Major ("Grande valse brillante", Waltz No. 1 in A Flat Major.

2. Sports to play: Football or Cricket are always good.

3. Books to read: Highly recommend the works of Sir P.G. Wodehouse. Fantastic British author; reading him has sort of fallen out of fashion, even in his own country, I am sad to say. Really good stuff and really funny. The humour can sometimes be a little difficult to get if you don't know the cultural references, but, as a lawyer, your research skills should easily help you overcome this difficulty. Some people may unnecessarily quible over a choice between the Geeves and Blandings Castle series, but that is time-wasting splitting of hairs in my opinion. The true reader of Wodehouse would appreciate both, which is why I advise you to dig into both; if you prefer one over the other, that's your business. If you're an audio book type of guy, two very good actors - Jonathan Cecil and Stephen Fry (yes, the same Stephen Fry, he who played the Master of Laketown in The Hobbit movie) - have read a lot of Wodehouse's books for Audible (but purchasing that stuff is really costly).

4. Show to watch: Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister. Really good 1980's British comedy, show created by the BBC. You don't have to have lived there to be able to relate to it.

Leading a balanced life is important. Work, family, friends, workout, mindfulness. I understand this doesn't always happen for us, but everytime you weer away from these, keep trying to steer back. I've been practicing for several years now, and I too need to keep steering back. If the depression is too much, seek help.

There are several firms: LawNK, Krida etc. Even Sensato sports is headed by an Indian tho I don't think he'll give internships. Interning in these places is the best way. You can also show you're interested in the field by putting sports law in your CV. Shaun Star from JGLS is one of the best academicians, I've heard good things about GNLU too. Finally, you can't survive solely on sports law in India, you may have to do commercial matters. Even sports law these days is mostly the game of skill vs game of chance debate

Which raises the question on whether NLU/Jindal students will follow suit?

dude we have 3 people who have gone for vc in the past from GLC. years back but yea.
I have applied for both links and hsf this time . last year i got through till hsf interview but didn't make it through. turned out i had a cointern who had gotten through the same.

it's hard but not that hard. you need to ace wg but wg in itself is a very bad way to judge but you need not worry.

links has definitely given a chance to MU kids with 2 being partners there so yea you definitely stand a chance.

Hi there, I am a student of tier 2 NLU. Just got my results for third year exams and I have four backs in total. My CGPA is now below 6 out of 10. I always wanted to go for litigation. Will a decent senior (let's say he pays 25-30k) take me in his chamber? Maybe by the time i graduate I CGPA will be 7 at max.

That was something said by the VC just to appease the then traumatised 2nd and 3rd year NUJS students who had no idea about the 60 more people adding to the placement competition. With time, that extremism has started dying down and the incoming batches even jointly support the idea of a single placement cell.

BA or bsc at the end of the day its nujs, and if a bsc student doesnt get the placement, its a stain on nujs's collective name. So they will go with the common cell only.

Hey. I’m a 2022 law graduate and have been preparing for judiciary exams since the last two years. Haven’t been able to clear even prelims of these examinations and I have no litigation background and experience at all to build my future on. As Judiciary Exams are not consistent and mostly happen after 1 or 2 years, and age is not in my favour as I’m already 27, I have no choice but to litigate. But I have no contacts, no senior who can help me or guide me. I haven’t done my masters and mostly the LLM exams will be held in december this year so won’t be able to do it before december this year.

What should I do?

Can anybody guide me?

So last year i had interview for a position in a T-2 firm. The interview was bad, i still regret saying a few things. I really admire the work done by the team and i believe that i will be a good fit in the team. Now a year later, i am in a better position to give a better interview. but i am nervous that the partner will not give a second chance to interview after i bombed the first interview.

Should i apply to that team again or not? Do partners give the candidate a second chance after a bad interview a year ago?
