It's truth, this comment is. I once made a similar comment attempting to impose a reality check surrounding the Oxford BCL, and these good-for-nothing moral police who are guardians of this platform marked that as trollish as well. As another comment on this thread has said, OP should just put their head down, actually put in some work in life and stop bitching about people. You guys treat your own LLM students like this, just deal with it. Also, I have lived in multiple western countries, and can tell you that your typical person there has a lot more work in life than to be snobbish and high-nosed. Does that mean there are no snobbish and high-nosed people in western countries? Obviously not! But the way OP is talking about this stuff gives a very incomplete picture. And frankly, if this is the way you write and you are really from NLS (and not just a random troll who actually hasn't gone to either NLS or HLS), then, with regards to the HLS JD cohort's snobbishness, I'd tell them, 'bring it on, these ***'s deserve it'. Why? Because all you, OP who started this thread, have is privilege, (a lot of) daddy's money, no sense of where having a smart mouth is appropriate and where it isn't, an unbelievably inflated ego (much like the people you criticize) and a gigantic victimhood mentality. DW OP, when you find your footing, you'll fit right into the ranks of the western hard left.

PS: To the guy who made the (not) trollish comment to which I have replied, continue speaking the truth, you will be rewarded some day for your efforts.

I did llm at fancy us university. I suggest you get over this fast. Its a waste of time and money and energy to sit around bitching about how other people perceive you. Youre there to improve your career. You only have a year to do it. Focus on that. Whatever it is you need to learn to compete- learn it. People would give an arm and a leg to go to HYS/ Ivy. Most people wont in their lives be able to do it.Dont waste the damn opportunity.

Bro all good law schools (including NLS or NALSAR) will have their fair share of criticism. Haven't there been VC issues at NLS? Haven't there been faculty issues at NLS? Haven't NLS students been victims of countless wrongs and even crimes? Would you drop NLS just because of blind comments of LI? If fancy degrees and exposure of faculty would have been the benchmark Jindal would have been the top law school of the last 10 or 15 years and not NLS/NALSAR/NUJS/NLUJ/GNLU/NLUD etc.

I repeat again it is the STUDENT QUALITY that makes a law school. The beauty of law is that you can pick up a top tier book of a subject and learn to master it yourself, unlike say a tough medical school subject which would probably need a great faculty troubleshooter. I am not saying this to undermine the need of good faculties at law school. And honestly even at its worst, NLS and NALSAR have better faculties than probably all of the traditional law schools. I am just saying as long as good quality students are there, the faculty issues can always be offset by hard work, peer learning, internship opportunities, good placement cells and alum exposure. Thankfully, you will get the best of the aforementioned factors at NALSAR.

I work in a small Mumbai based corp firm. One of my seniors is on permanent wfh since she didn't want to relocate to a big city after her marriage. she is a top ranker from one of the t-1 NLUs and has worked in many T-1 firms before joining us. the managing partner sometimes mentions how she lucked out with hiring this particular senior since she is working at way less than what she could've made elsewhere. So, it's a great retention strategy for smaller firms!

Can we please call out the lie now that WFH doesnt affect the quality of work and is a bad option for everyone but a few very self motivated people who require little to no supervision? If your mental health is so severely affected by having to go to an office- the thing all adults in the world did prior to covid- it might be a you problem. Try to not be so fragile. Its fairly clear to me that the covid batches do have learning losses and are coming in less prepared for work than ever before. They need more supervision than before and now they want to avoid accountability with this sort of "activism". Perhaps they should choose these firms with better working conditions rather than whinging and see how long it takes them to sink those firms entirely. Why even work for a firm? build your own and you can keep your own schedule entirely and sink or swim on your own capacity. Why ask to be paid a salary while not wanting to do things to earn that salary?

Can someone please elaborate on the selection procedure for these PSU's which recruit on the basis of CLAT pg marks. What rank does a general candidate needs to secure in order to get an interview call? Do they give preference to those with work ex? And also if somone has a few gap years after graduation does it adversely impact chances of selection or not. TIA.

I think youre an insane person. We dont buy and sell people in a civilised world. We especially dont make it easy for poor people to be exploited into selling their organs or their children or their women. We dont do this because everyone sees the dystopia coming a mile away with this kind of "reform". Do you really want to be iran? they oppress their women out of the public space and you dont even want to know what they do to gay people. Theyre not exactly known to be a beacon for freedom in the world.

There are better ways to get out of poverty than literally selling your body. We need improvements in education to ensure our children can work and they learn at a minimum a trade or a vocation and more stringent antitrust laws so there can be more employers in a free market place, and therefore more jobs.

Waitlisting at private colleges like Symbiosis is often a way to extract donations. These colleges reserve some seats for students who can pay extra fees, putting others on a waitlist despite being qualified.

However, it is not worth it to get through Donation in Symbiosis, despite its reputation, it often doesn't offer a good return on investment.

In India, only a few law schools, such as NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, and WBNUJS Kolkata, are considered worth attending. Even from these top schools, the legal market is crowded, making it tough to secure top positions. Success requires more than just a degree; it demands internships, networking, and continuous learning.

NLUs like GNLU, NLUJ, NLU Delhi come next, then you may go for HNLU, NLUO, RML, Mumbai NLU. End of the list!

This entire institution is confused. It was set up as forensic science university. It is trying to become law University. It has been given generous funding and got multiple campuses but nobody knows that do we really need those many forensic science graduates? There are hardly 20-30 Forensic Science Laboratories of Government and they hardly recruit few people every year. Any science graduate applies. Forensic science university looks like a big scam and pure wastage of public resources. One campus was even justified, why 20 campuses and 2000 forensic graduates? What will they do?

I think this is a very relevant question that very few students think about while in college, and frankly, very few associates think of in the first few years.

Let me share with you my anecdotal observations, having graduated from a T1 NLU and worked in a T1 firm (General Corporate):

- Most people get married after becoming SA, which is in 4-5 years. Switching firms, taking sabbaticals, having exceptionally busy years is not uncommon.

- If you unfortunately land up in teams where availability has to be 24x7 which means working most weekends, being at your desk at 9 pm and 10 pm on a regular basis, dating or even spending quality time with people outside of work will be difficult. There are far too many teams like this.

- You will be surrounded by DINKs and people who are having kids only after becoming a partner. Therefore, people may be less empathetic towards people “choosing” to have kids at a younger age of 27-30.

- This is compounded by the fact that work in law firms is client-service and demand driven and people operate on very short timelines. The lower you are in the hierarchy, the more you are required to be flexible with your availability, as your Counsel / PA / Partner’s priorities, conflicts and deadlines will largely be accommodated over yours.

- There is a very steep learning curve the first 6 years, and you are not the master of your own time. It’s doable to try to fit in a gym routine or occasional doctors appointment or dinner plans, but much harder devoting chunks of your time to your young family.

- Instead of an accommodative workplace, you might find yourself amongst toxic partners who discourage you from having any commitment that takes you away from being available to work, on a sustained basis.

Long story short, it’s an uphill battle and most people prefer to manage work from an in-house or smaller firm. Note, that this doesn’t automatically guarantee better work life balance or hours.

What you can do, is grind it out for a couple of years for the learnings and then see if you are able to make time for having a family. If not, look for a place where your bosses and peers also have families and as a matter of culture, stop by 6 pm unless things are urgent.

You will discover that you can’t have it all, but if you prioritise something, you will find a way.

Because as a professor I will often say things I dont agree with or things I might myself be conflicted upon in class. I will try to play devils advocate often. Most of the students in my class dont know my real beliefs on a range of issues. I barely know my own mind on some very contentious things- I might change it tomorrow given new evidence or argument. I'm not there to convince students what I think is right, i'm there to think with them. It is a particular matter of cowardice and bad faith then for students to not engage in the conversation in the classroom and instead edit audio however they please and send it to - not just social media- right wing press to specifically target and abuse their professor. That is just bullying. That is not free speech. JGLS students should learn to have more courage and less bravado, if you disagree with a prof- tell them to their face, have the courage of your convictions to argue in the classroom, go to office hours and try and change each others minds. Some of my professors I have the strongest relationships with are professors I fought with constantly- they didnt penalise me, they wrote me recommendation letters.

Trying to cancel someone for a view they expressed in a classroom is just gross authoritarianism. Especially when theyre a young professor trying to do their jobs and you are fairly certain in your position because youve bought your way into a university and you know you have admin on your side.

I bet JGLS students wouldnt like it if professors started videoing all the stupid nonsense they say and putting it up online. It would end hundreds of careers at once. Of course professors dont do this because they understand that students are young and growing and need to have the grace humans need for making mistakes and saying stupid things to be proven wrong, they understand that universities cannot function if we were to call down the mob on every student who states an errant thought- the whole point of universities is to make mistakes and learn. It shows the small mindedness of jgls students that they dont reciprocate that same grace and generosity to their professors.

Your social media feed is curated to show the best version of you. How would you really like it if you had to go into work everyday knowing you could be recorded at any time and that would be used to judge you as a human being?

How little have you thought about this that you would make that comment?
