The original writer of this comment certainly messed up a number of arguments (in justifiable but regrettable) anger. But as we're on the subject of Britain, are you aware that civil servants (the FDA union) are conducting a judicial review of the government's plan to send asylum seakers to Rwanda? Would you UPSC types ever have the balls to do that? What happened in 1976 and on a number of other occasions? Simple. No you wouldn't, because you know you'd be in a job centre having to fill out job applications if you even whispered ideas for such a thing.

As for the NLU thing, I think you're playing into (that comment's) OP's hands. Anyone who did some basic research would know that the NLU institutions are public. And you still haven't responded to the IDIA point. It is exactly the point the angry guy is making. IDIA may have been at a public uni, but it ain't government-supported.

And as for this entire thing of Free School Meals getting cancelled, that is doubtful (I don't know enough), and the UCU protest, I really get the anger on this one. Just because other countries have problems means we should as well? You UPSC types have learned way too well from the Russians. Classic Russian dark humour: things are shitty elsewhere, so let's not do anything to ensure they become less shitty here, as long as that means that our own lives are not-so-shitty. The classic UPSC mentality.

Oh and you should read this if you think McKinsey is something to aspire for https://www.thenation.com/article/society/mckinsey-whistleblower-confessions/

No one is saying people from humble backgrounds shouldn't aspire to the Rhodes. This thread denigrates the UPSC which is both a great achievement and equally accessible to everyone willing to work for it. IAS officer are the unsung heroes of big changes. You have whole rights that you would never have without them. Same with IPS. They can't come out and brag about the things they have done to keep us all safe.

Not to undermine any of the Rhodes scholars. Feel free to admire them and aspire to it. The mistake this thread makes is in underestimating the UPSC's capacity to change your life and the power it gives you to change many people's lives.

Avoid NFSU at all cost...the off campuses are in a deplorable state...you will get better faculties at local colleges...as a student I am really regretting my decision to join this hell and squandering my parent's hard earned money...cybersecurity faculties have zero knowledge about the subject...zeeerrrooooo.....please avoid nfsu....please....

My luck in legal profession is a big F-ing zero.

Helped a client fix a case of his in front of the apex market regulator. Put in a lot of effort and convincing on both ends. Lot of back and forth. Finally Deal done. The officer (in the regulator) backed out at last moment yesterday.

Was gonna make 1cr. in the deal. Lost it now. First time doing such things and amounts to a big zero.

Wasted tonnes of energy and time on it also. Pissed off as hell. Ruined a lot of effort and my weekend too.

Now the client's gonna be pissed at me too.

Rant over. Frustration Continues.

I have interned there with the corp team and can say it was truly great. There are many juniors who are fun and happy go lucky and a few seniors. Some works given by the seniors were little difficult but they were very sweet overall. They did not make me feel like an intern even for one moment and did not make me stay late even one night and generally seemed like balance people. This is not my typical experience in internships. I cannot tell about the pay there. There are some who say it is same as other offices and others who say it is less compared to other offices, don't know which one is correct.

IRCCL bcz the purpose of the blog site is not limited to good publications but also includes learning. The reviewer spends decent amount of time reviewing articles, the author learns from the reviewer's holistic review, and eventually, readers learn by reading decent articles.

They also arrange writing competition with internship opportunity and they post Blog- writable content on LinkedIn. Their goal is to serve the community.

ICL and others blogs work for their names; whereas, IRCCL works for students.

[Notable difference: 1. Competition with internship opportunity, 2. promotes writing culture via LinkedIn posts, and 3. They provide helpful reviews for rejected articles so that authors can rewrite and publish elsewhere [MOST IMPORTANT & COMPLETELY SELFLESS].

Hello everyone. I'm about to graduate from CLC next month and have a diverse CV with no clear inclination towards any area. I'm really confused as to where and what kind of jobs to apply for.

I'll summarize it in brief. Initially I was interested in corporate and used to take up a lot of online legal writing internships to get some publications thinking it would help.. but it did not help. So I just went with the flow and took whatever random internships I could secure with help of our placement cell and sites like Law bhoomi and Lawoctopus. Now I have done 4 offline internships during law school.. Disputes at a T1 firm, IP at a boutique law firm, IP internship at FICCI, and one internship at some Z tier boutique firm where I got random and diverse work. The online ones were all legal writing or drafting ones. Is it possible for me to join a law firm or an in house counsel role? If yes then what skills I must develop beforehand and if not then what else shall I do? The point is that I want to start working and more importantly earning ASAP while I figure out life cause being both jobless and lost would be bad for mental health.

Looking forward to your insights!

Jeez dude!.. That's a ridiculous attitude to have. The time you're wasting here to justify not having a CV could have been utilized in building one from scratch. It's literally preparing a 2pg document man.. not some rocket science or something for which you need to take a 3 year drop. Get disciplined and stop giving petty excuses for everything.

Male and female are not genders. Male and female are about sex. Like I explained, most hijras are castrated males. Do you think castration means that a man is no longer a man and is infact a woman? If someone dresses and acts a certain way and people go along with it- thats all it should take to be able to go into a womans space whether thats a bathroom, a girls only school, a rape crisis centre , a spa or a prison? Acting a certain way should allow you to claim the womens quotas? Do other people have rights? Do women get to keep their words to themselves? so they can talk about their problems?

There are schizophrenics who think that theyre actually a dog or a chicken- does that sincere belief make them a dog or a chicken? Clearly its not just self perception that makes identity. If most of society would look at a butch lesbian and call her a man- does she become a man? is she no longer a woman because society has tarnished her that way? clearly its not external validation either. If most of society believes that a flying monkey god moved a mountain for an herb- or if most of society believes we should stone gay people- does that make those things true? Should we be basing laws on beliefs of this nature that are unevidenced and have no basis in material reality?

Yes actually. Citing precedent without knowing what the judgment says or why or even understanding the reasoning is the definition of an appeal to authority.

If gender is a social role and sex is based on biology. Please explain to me what social role men or women are playing in society. What is the social role that transgender women feel like they’re playing that they should be lumped in with cis women ? Explain how it’s not based on stereotypes?

What are provisions for men and women provided by law ? Be specific ? As far as I know the constitution prohibits discrimination based on sex except to provide protections for females in certain areas. Do we not think that women - females - deserve protection from sex based crimes and deserve maternity benefits and deserve investment in all women schools and colleges ? Do you think it’s unfair that men don’t get to use those ?

So anyone who isn’t following a male dress code or behaves effeminately isn’t a man ? Most gay men dress and act differently- some gay men are extremely flamboyant - do you think they aren’t men ? Should we let the most orthodox and bigoted members of society decide what men and women are ? If a little boy wants to play with dolls should we rush him to get medically altered so he’s now a “girl”? That seems the opposite of progressive no ? Most Indian men don’t have body builder bodies - are they not men then ? If a man is born with a micro penis ( an intersex condition btw) is he not a man ?

If it’s just saying you’re not a man - why is it limited to gender ? Can I say I’m a Dalit and claim reservations ? Can I say I’m black ? Can I say I identify as wealthy and the bank has to give me money ? It’s the only identity group you can identify into ? Why ? Do souls have genders ?

Here’s why:

1. Relentless trolling and vicious attacks against Sudhir Krishnaswamy, by jealous tier 2 college guys who have never set foot inside NLSIU and are resentful that Sudhir is improving the institution with his excellent faculty hires.

2. Similarly, non-stop attacks against Jindal despite Jindal doing better than many NLUs in the placements and foreign scholarships scene — again, by jealous and resentful people, who are also angry that Jindal-ites are wealthy (as if you guys don’t aspire to become wealthy and send your children to good universities).

3. Likewise, attacks against NUJS NRI quota students. FYI some of the most successful NUJS alumni are from the NRI quota and an NRI quota girl alum has just been awarded the Salve scholarship at Oxford this year.

4. Then, further hate against those going abroad for LLMs. You are either a traitor to your country and a bootlicker of the white race, or a spoilt rich kid — because, of course, we must opt for third-rate LLM courses at NLUs and be called “Lallams” by you lot!

5. Comments in Hindi, in blatant disregard of those who are not comfortable with Hindi. I speak Hindi and have scored good grades in Hindi in school, but I would never speak in Hindi in front of a pan-India crowd, as there are people who are from the South, Bengal, North East etc. Please show this courtesy too. It’s absolutely fine if you throw in a common Hindi word here and there, eg bindaas, jugaad or chapri ( as I have done). The English language happily absorbs words from foreign languages. But please don’t type entire sentences in Hindi!

6. Finally, a sharp increase in aggressive, abusive, incel-like language (which is strangely missed by moderators).

Downvote and abuse me all you want, you’ll only be validating my comment.

When you have Jindal (little bro) money and political backing everything becomes a breeze. That doesn't mean RK should be denied credit. But his family connections (esp dad) and then previous affinity to a certain Law Minister who was a Gfam man, must also be remembered. After all that Law Min facilitated a meeting with Jindal and the deal was struck. Paperwork came later.

How many of us get such access?

VCs in NLUs too get the job through connections, access etc. And then it becomes all about personal enrichment, traffic in favours etc. Maybe RK is doing that as well. But the univ has been a great investment for Jindal and it has done very well in a short span of time.

Almost all NLU VCs would have completely wasted similar opportunity, tenure etc. For all his faults, Messiah on paper has been very successful at NLS

Guess the top 4-5 law firms don’t have a very strong PR, maybe because they get all PR organically

Some names I can think of -

1. Team at Spice Route - they did wonderful job with salary marketing and creating a buzz

2. Yavnika Shah - Induslaw, guess she has worked as external consultant too for law firms

3. Pintu Babu - NDA - He is very active in the space

4. Priyan Garg - Khaitan - The oldest name I have heard of in the space who markets his own brand quite well

Depends on a lot on what you are looking for - type of work, monetary aspects, growth, work life balance. Mumbai teams are extremely top heavy. Also, the Mumbai teams have grown far exponentially in size. For growth, choose Delhi. Also, the pay in Delhi is marginally better unless you are from Mumbai so your housing is sorted.
