They know how much their peers are paying. Trilegal increased to 19.5 LPA. Despite this, no other law firm has responded with an increase. Probably bcz they're aware of Trilegal's reputation - trilegal eats people alive.

In-house counsel recruiters or even Big-4 firms don't pay as much as them.

Rookies succumb to the market landscape. It's no longer a glory to work at Amarchand Mangaldas or whatever. It was in 2015 bcz 15L was huge deal back then.

He has not culled anyone, those same people are now heading various NLUs. Nor are all the people currently at NLSIU producing top notch academic output. Not all of them have even been given tenure. He has also taken multiple bad decisions in course of his administration that attracted needless bad publicity to the institution. I do consider that he has done good things for the place too. The fact remains that so far, NLS output has not seen any significant improvement during Sudhir's first term. It is possible that it will do so during the second.

The hate against Sudhir is by a few losers with some personal axe to grind. That's transparent and obvious. The truth is that we need more people like Sudhir at NLUs. We need a mass cull of the old, incompetent profs and infusion of NLU alumni among the faculty, exactly like he has done.

This is trollish and barely true, but the basic trend is true.

One recurring theme is glorified misogyny and homophobia. Calling women NPAs or gold diggers or ugly, and those comments getting high upvotes but a woman writing any comment is met with intense anger. Same with gay people, people still say it like an insult. Well the mods are all incels so what can we expect. LI is the law school reddit now. I tried publishing multiple threads of severe incidents faced by me in law firms and with recruiters but they are never released

Spot on. All of this is clearly documented. No dispute re. any of the points.

Regarding point no. 5, even worse than writing in Hindi, these guys write Hindi using English keyboards. Are they aware that blind users of LI - like me - who use screen reader software packages would find it very difficult to access such comments, because the screen readers essentially go into 'jibberish' mode when encountering such things? Ironically, if those wishing to say stuff in Hindi typed using a Hindi keyboard, blind users of screen reader software packages like Non-Visual Desktop Access (NVDA) could use add-ons for those software packages like Saksham, which is essentially NVDA programmed to read proper Hindi, to read Hindi-language comments written in Hindi. If you tried to turn on the Saksham add-on when reading a comment written in Hindi using an English keyboard, it would sound like (a) an Indian (i) pretending to read Hindi like a westerner; but (ii) who's doing a very bad job of it; and (b) as if the software's voice was a recording of someone who was punchdrunk. :)

Stop idolising people or proclaiming them to be the best and you won't have to see them getting trolled. Stop treating others with the supercilious and arrogant attitude that the original post manifested on more than occasion, ironically, and you will find out that majority of them will treat them with the respect that they deserve. The content of the post was nothing objectionable and contained many points that most of us agree to. However, the entitlement that the OP ended up displaying perhaps inadvertently has greatly diluted the message that he had been trying to

I do. This entire thread is extremely categorical. For instance, this thread only points out ‘NUJS NRI’ students. Secondly, it talks about ‘foreign llm’ students being pinched. Thirdly, the first point is extremely insulting. ‘Jealous Tier-2 guys who never foot inside NLS’- isn’t this statement extremely vitriolic?

IMHO, this is spot on. Do any of the mods disagree? We really shouldn't be publishing nonsense where people are just trolling or insulting others. What value does this add to the average reader, other than perhaps the lulz for trolls?

And to all commenters: let's try to be nicer and more intelligent and helpful with each other please.

Completely useless flexing and toxic d***measuring. That's what in the first place gave rise to today's tasteless trolling on this platform about various law schools, instead of considering ourselves as part of the same community and facing external challenges together and being happy for each other's growth.

What people know is that NLUD's placement has always been a lot worse than they claim. What is also known by everyone that nobody who does not sit for placements can make a valid claim that they 'can' get a job. One may choose not to accept an offer after getting it, not before. Moreover, any person who joins a law school with the sole objective of giving UPSC is not doing themselves or the school any favour. They could have joined any college for a 3 year degree and done that much sooner and cheaper.

Sure those who know that they won't get a job may say so. Doesn't mean those who know they can get a job won't say the same. Those two are different circles in venn diagram. Perhaps NLUO couldn't instill logical reasoning abilities in you.

The point is that placements are only reflective of how many job offers were made through the college recruitment process - offers will only be given to those who want to sit for placements. 39 students from 50 who sat isn't bad at all. You can cry me a river without knowing anything about the stats. I mean it's not as if serious law students don't know that kids choose NLUD over many other T1 NLUs solely because they want to prepare for upsc, judiciary and go for litigation -- something which is not true for any other NLU. So it's ignorance at best to question their choice of not sitting for placements & appearing for such career options.

Yes, they do pay for travel. Accomodation is nice, something like Taj. They'll basically be sessions on the firm processes, IT, HR, the softwares they use, basic etiquettes etc. Few sessions with partners sharing their experiences. A couple of ice breakers - last time there was one that involved painting. And then socializing over dinner and drinks.

I can understand you'll have slight anxiety, but worry not, everyone else there will be in the same boat as you. Try and make a few friends, you may end up working with them sometime in the future.

GNLU being the organizer of this year's CLAT for responsible for the major embarrassment it caused itself by the CLAT PG ppr for LLM this year. The ppr instead of checking the legal aptitude, was made for those pvt law students who were studying for judiciary since their first years, that's why a lot of deserving candidates got low rank in PG this year.

NUJS has the best campus life, and it's not even close. It's near the heart of the city. Not only do you get to experience nightlife, but you also get to explore the heritage buildings and lanes of North Calcutta. Most importantly, you get all the freedom in the world. There are no rules on campus, so you can do absolutely anything you want. Also, the pressure of academic commitments is much less than at other NLUs, giving you ample time to explore any domain you're into. The only detriments are the small campus size and the incompetent admin.

Shit housed my way to internships but learnt no real skills. Collected internship certs like pokemon cards. Got articles/blogs published by combining and paraphrasing similar works online with help of AI. Got exposed during interviews. Disguising ineptitude can only take you so far.

yes. a lot just depends on connections. i had an exceptionally good CV (not saying this out of delusion, there are objective facts to suggest this) but it wasn't on merits that i was recruited, it was only through my connections and referrals. on top of that, if you aren't graduating from a college that have a lot of law firm partners, it's even harder because most of them just want to recruit their juniors (out of all the biases, this is by far the most irrational one ive ever come across). moreover, if you're a man, it's unlikely that a male partner will be interested in recruiting you.
