Basically the govt. and TISS admin arm twisted the Tata Education Trust to keep funding projects that had been previously scheduled to conclude by June 30, 2024. The govt doesn't want to put in its share and instead wants Tatas to shoulder the fin burden while giving them very little control in management and day-to-day admin.

Tatas also don't want bad press. It will be interesting to know how TERI is running without govt financing and overt control. It used to be the Tata Energy Research Institute. Then the Tatas were eased out of naming rights by a powerful Delhi lobby.

NLUs already pay shit to their army of contractual teach etc. Instead consider what central univs will be doing to their contractual employees.

Please don’t be ridiculous. Our parents grew up in a very backward time: socially, economically, culturally and technologically. Life was really miserable then. Be thankful that we have so many advantages that our parents did not have. Never in your wildest dreams do you want to swap your college life with your parents College life.

The fees for the incoming batch have been raised to 4 lacs, and still, students are desperate to join NLUN. There is a complete crisis there with respect to the lack of faculty (experienced more so), shitty mess, hostels, sports facilities, no placement, fucked up databases and library and fucked up curriculum just focusing on academics.

Literally same situation bruh. Graduated this year but no area of specialization still. Feeling very confused and hopeless. Only jobs I'm eligible for are bpo and sales job. Family and relatives have started mocking and comparing. People on linkedin never reply to dm's. I'm also thinking of taking non voice processes job and prepare for competitive exams.. don't know how it will pan out

I graduated in April,2024 from a decent private college. Had a T1 call back didnt work out because the RP said they are not hiring freshers. I'm interested in Gen Corp/Energy & Infra work not into litigation at all. Have zero internship experience in lit & disputes. I m stuck and idk what to do. All law firm jobs in corp require PQE. I'm thinking of leaving law and joining a call centre.

1) What are those "different generalizations" - Check with the University Website and show where anywhere in the website (except Brochure released on May 2024) which states IIULER is a Private University under Section 2(f) of UGC Act. The Brochure of 2022 and 2023 were clearly deciving - They did not state is as a Private University! Many students gets decieved by the BCI branding (In reality, it's not BCI but BCI Trust - PEARL FIRST which is an INDEPENDENT and AUTONOMOUS body and is not a Part/Unit of BCI (Refer the notification released by BCI itself)

2) All are humans! Anyone can "change their attitude" (People will not be static but dynamic in nature) - Anyway, why are you "generalizing" faculties? - May be the Faculties which you are referring and I am pointing is different!

3) Academic Integrity and Academic Ethics if free from "Personal Grudge" - I am raising the points with Proof - You can cross-check the same (By looking into the Website of IIULER or File an RTI to BCI)

4) Faculties must provide "support" to get ID Cards and Remote Access - There is no Registrar, Controller of Examinations, Director, Joint Director, Pro-Vice Chancellor, Public Relations Officer etc at IIULER. Even there is no PhD Coordinator. So, to whom Students will raise their concern? It's the Teachers. The faculties over there must take initiative to provide such things! (I don't know whether you are a faculty or not, if yes, try to understand the Role of a Teacher is not limited only for teaching! They must be the students pillar of strength, support and raise voices for them) - Moreover, IIULER is charging India's Highest Fees (LLB - 12 Lakhs, LLM - 10.5 Lakhs, PhD - 1.4 Lakhs all including Residential Charges except PhD) - So, why can't they atleast provide Remote Access Database, a good Library facility or at least ID Cards! - I Hope the Point is clear for you!

5) It will be a great help if "you can direct who is the Admin/the person to whom issues at IIULER be raised (Since, you are having a very good friendship with the Faculties!)

6) So, are you stating to file complaint against your Friends (Faculties at IIULER)?

7) Who said you that I have joined IIULER? Can a Legal Academician like me can observe these things from outside? (Its your personal judgment that I am a student at IIULER!)

8) The people who responded to you that IIULER is run by BCI Trust is wrong (Partially) - It's run by BCI Trust - PEARL FIRST (established in 2020) - It is an INDEPENDENT and AUTONOMOUS BODY and is not a Part/Unit of BCI - Please check the BCI Notifications or file an RTI to BCI and UGC - You will get the answer (May be the People whom you know is also deciving you! That's what I am saying, they are just deciving everyone!)

9) So, please make arguments after checking the Fact - GO with the ORIGINAL and BE the ORIGINAL!

Key context regarding the comparison with what is done in two important jurisdictions outside India:

1. In the U.S., there is no such thing as a PhD in law being a 'terminal degree' for U.S. lawyers (i.e., those who have a JD from there). The S.J.D. many unis have is a doctoral degree designed for foreign lawyers who will become academics in foreign countries. Most S.J.D. graduates aren't recruited by U.S. law schools, even those with fancy UK degrees. The JD is a 'terminal degree', as it is done as a graduate degree. Many legal academics there have PhDs in other disciplines before doing a JD, or work towards a PhD in something else (e.g., history, philosophy) while pursuing their JD.

2. You mentioned scholars such as Shubhankar Dam. It is true that there are such people, but they are becoming increasingly rare in the UK, especially at senior levels (at least at the so-called 'Russell Group universities'). A PhD is increasingly a requirement there, and it's very hard to be recruited as an academic these days without one, so much so that an academic there once described the practice of recruiting people to senior positions who didn't have a PhD as being something 'done in a bygone era' (again, at least at the RG unis). To note, there are some genuinely good academics in the UK who, despite completing PhDs - and having very fancy graduate degree combinations on their profile (e.g., Columbia LLM + Oxford DPhil, Oxford BCL and MPhil + Cambridge PhD in Law), and despite being awesome researchers and teachers, are still struggling on the bottom rung of the promotions ladder there. Also of note, I think you would find that many of those without a PhD who are from a previous generation have a very strong (i.e., academically the type that would suck the blood out of you, and reputationally very strong) master's degree, such as the BCL (as is the case with Shubhankar Dam) or strong work experience or both.

I deserve to study from a qualified and experienced teacher if I am paying 2.5 L pa.

Experience matters in teaching lineup bro there are subjects like constitution which can only be taught by experienced faculty. Our consti faculty was teaching first time in her career. Bring back Rangeen.
Asli id se aao Rata of NLUO

So what? If a person is RATA does that imply they can't teach well?

If they were bad, did you talk to Dean about them?

And how many classes did you attend after completing the reading material provided? You guys just come and start blaming teachers out of nowhere.

Intern as much as possible

Intern again at the same place

Build good connections, even if you don't get placed they might consider you for lateral hiring.

Work your ass off. Don't be foolish and leave office before 8 PM. Even if they keep you for getting print outs, stay at the office.

All the Best!

I would like to post in favour of the VC, but I will be slandered by certain people here as an apologist for the TMC and a supporter of sexual harassment. So better not to say. Instead, I will only ask two questions:

1. Did pro-BJP VC Ishwar Bhatt do anything useful for the college?

2. How come the sexual harassment allegations are being raised only after a certain issue involving UGC funds? And how come the SJA itself is no longer united?

I will just leave it there.

When you demand Jindal level (ok a little less) fees and promise the moon, the minimum standards of service cannot be less than a so-called TLC or lowly ranked NLU. On top of that you have a VC who reigned supreme in NLS and took a Messiah to be dislodged. This man is also a BCI fav.

Granted that many in the faculty are his acolytes or products of IoUs but they are from better known NLUs. And the you are also doing injustice to your location!

Hi

We'll be appearing for interviews and group discussions starting this week. Would love if anyone can share advice regarding how to ace interviews, imp GD topics, typical and non-typical questions that one must prepare.

Further, some advice specifically for GC would be great.

You realise they're not going to set up as full fledged law firms, right? If at all they do hire, they're going to hire 10-12 folks across seniority levels so for the vast majority of us, life will continue unchanged.

More than nine months after her 18-year-old brother was lynched and her mother disrobed and thrashed allegedly by those threatening her to withdraw the sexual harassment case, the woman has died under suspicious circumstances and her uncle has been murdered.

w Delhi: A young Dalit woman’s refusal to withdraw a sexual harassment complaint against four influential men in Madhya Pradesh’s Sagar district in 2019 has brought devastating consequences to her and her family.

A little bg, I'm from a non-nlu. Not in top private colleges but an okayish semi-public University in Delhi . I had the opportunity to give CLAT again but kill me please for believing in myself and thinking I can make it on my own rather than relying on the usual NLU nepotism that is given to even some of their dumbest students. I'm a good orator, good in academics, I have been to some good debates, moots and won some good ranks and have a specific interest in ADR competitions. I have actually won quite a few of them (nothing too high rank tho, you'll know why). For almost 2 years I was looking forward to the flagship Nlu-D nego comp that they do with HSF(for obvious reasons) but guess what the limits of their shitty elitism goes beyond your imagining spirits. You can think that maybe by winning some good competitions of this level you can have that chance to break the ceiling finally but piss off you peasant:

1) the comp this year was invite based only - not even a single chance for other universities to maybe 'try' at least no selective process or an interview based selection, nothing they just decided on their own that only specific students from specific university 'deserve' the chance to be represented rest of you can keep dreaming.

2) i understand that their ties with such big firms are their own and their students should get the benefit of that (agreed, valid) but this is not a job interview it is merely a competition based on hypothetical scenario that gives others a chance to network with some of the important people in int legal area. What the actual shit are you scared of? Non-Nlus getting a chance, actually showing they might be better than you because they have to work double hard to get anything you just get on a plate?

3) I think it's very unfair coming from such an high institution that they choose to arbitrarily decide whatever the hell they want to do? Inviting foreign Universities??? Good for repo but do they really need this ? They have enough advantage over all of us that they can easily get a job in magic circles. No but really, what's the point? International recruiters know the international crowd, you invite them to India only to show a handful of Indian students who will just go and get stoned after the ending of the comp. Is this the 19th century?

I'm not asking for much just a valid chance to have experience such as these yes ik some random ass NLU kid will write 'cope' because again they don't realise what personal hell non-nlu kids have to go through. This unfair and arbitrary behaviour is consistently increasing from day to day by every NLU is kinda alarming. No fair chances, What is next? We have to bear our swords and actually duel over getting basic chances such as these???
