Do an LLM , and subsequently a PhD ONLY if you want to be a professor or researcher !
A basic LLB is more than enough to practice anywhere. Instead work on increasing your work experience. If you need to move forward, maybe a MBA will help. But DO NOT DO AN LLM !
who is going to be our vc? who else but our registrar.
Hopefully, he would be a success as a Vice Chancellor too.

For starters, key areas where corporate lawyers require forensics include:
- Corporate Investigations & Fraud: Forensic investigators collect and analyze evidence to uncover financial fraud, misappropriation of funds, and white-collar crimes. This includes tracing money trails and identifying perpetrators.
- Digital Forensics: Essential for cybercrimes, data breaches, and digital fraud, this involves recovering deleted files, tracing online activity, and analyzing corporate devices.
- Forensic Accounting: Used to quantify financial losses, detect fraud in financial statements, and assist in legal proceedings regarding white-collar crimes.
- Document Examination: Analyzing handwriting, signatures, forgeries, and alterations of documents.
- Internal Investigations: Conducting workplace investigations involving harassment, embezzlement, or breach of duty.
- Cross-Examination of Experts: Understanding technical terms and forensic methodologies allows lawyers to effectively question expert witnesses, such as medical professionals, IT experts, or forensic accountants.
- Chain of Custody: Understanding procedures to ensure the integrity, preservation, and admissibility of evidence in court.
- Risk Management: Using forensic insights to implement proactive measures to prevent future fraud or legal issues.
NFSU has changed the rules of the game. Now, NLUs will have to comply in an area which not their forte.
One university sees students protesting for basic subsistence-level infrastructure like water and hostels, while the other becomes a trailblazer in shaping India's legal ecosystem and protecting the nation's critical digital infrastructure.
White-collar crime - a hilarious practice area when you realise half the job is glorified inbox excavation marketed as elite legal advisory. One misplaced reimbursement, one “urgent payment” email, and suddenly a 14-member team is building a 68-slide “governance risk assessment” while speaking in consultant dialect about ethics culture and tone from the top. No deals, no negotiations, no courtroom drama — just Ctrl+F, chronologies, whistleblower templates, and the annual discovery that someone accepted a Diwali hamper worth ₹4,999 instead of ₹5,000.
Every matter sounds like a Netflix scandal until you realise the grand “internal investigation” is about a reimbursement policy violation and ends with a whistleblower refresher training and a 73-slide deck on ethical culture. Entire teams billing Tier 1 rates to discover that an employee accepted cricket tickets from a vendor.
2. Should you call someone out, you’ll be dealing with lawyers whose job it is to make and break arguments, regardless of the practice area. It’s a profession based on credibility and reputation, so if you try to call out someone without proof or documentation, you’re just asking for a defamation lawsuit against you at the very least.
3. Not enough people care since everyone understands nuances and subjectivity also. What’s toxic to you may be normal for someone else, so unless it’s an actual crime and again, well-documented, it’s very difficult to call someone out.
Also, AP has cheapened their brand so much by doing this that an AP watch itself will lose respect. Stick to Patek.
Just three IPS officers getting suspended. For the cited reasons, heads of IAS, WBPS, WBCS,
Ei Samay has an interesting history. It was started by a former ABP editor (who also started Kolkata TV with Aparna Sen et al) with alleged slush funding from Sarada or some other ponzi fund. Later the founder got arrested (alleged persecution by both frenemy Unkind and Saffron Brothers) and abandonment by Reds. Aparna scooter expectedly. Soon Ei Samay gets taken over by TOI and then subsequently becomes a vanity purchase of its present owner.
But the actual case in the court gets lost in the process just like Sarada, Rose Valley, ICore, Pailan, Tower group and other Ponzis
Jai Ho. The Great Indian/Bengal Circus continues and the band plays on.
Unkind and her apparatchiks must face penal action for initiating malicious prosecution against Prof Ambikesh Mahapatra, Kamduni protestors etc.
The new CM is only making sarcastic threats like his predecessor and launching photogenic police action.
I am also stunned by Saffron silence on the bombshell dropped by their own MP, Justice Ganguly concerning RG Kar case. CBI is literally getting a blank cheque to murder the case. Compare that with the conviction it obtained in TN for custodial murder perpetrated by the policemen on father and son.
This clearly shows that RG Kar definitely involved some Princeling and hence sabotage from the highest levels involving all the parties and even questionable action by the DYC Court.
He has politicians/businessmen or vip's in general waiting for him to engage with them and be their go to counsel.
Plus he's from a big legal family as his father was a big judge and himself was a AG. So probably a combo of ego and being a snob.
Looking back now, I’m really glad I left, because it made me realise there are better opportunities ahead. Had I stayed, I probably would never have seen that for myself.
Of course, this is just my personal experience, and I’m not saying everyone should do the same. But one thing I’ve learnt and something many seniors also say is that if you join a boutique firm, do it with the mindset of learning and eventually moving forward. Don’t get too comfortable too early. The learning can genuinely be incredible, especially in the first year, but staying indefinitely in a difficult environment can take a toll professionally and personally.
I’ve seen many capable seniors continue in spaces that no longer serve them, perhaps out of familiarity or comfort, and it’s honestly a little sad to watch because they deserve better.
So my only advice would be: learn as much as you can, build your foundation well, stay professional, stay grateful but also know when it’s time to move laterally and grow. One good year of learning can take you very far. Don’t underestimate your ability to find something healthier and better suited for your growth :)
As of now, it is practical to expect that the number of OMS (Outside Maharashtra Students) candidates has fallen by a lot this year....Moreover, both the slots were much more difficult compared to past year papers and were somewhat the same in difficulty when compared with each other.
I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to be asking this, but my anxiety got the better of me. Looking for GLC and ILS students, preferably 1st or 2nd years who could give an idea of the marks vs percentile for the years they appeared for the exam and make an educated guess as to what could the cutoff be for this year, especially for the oms category.
On the other hand, if you genuinely believe in what you've written then you're an incredibly large ▮▮▮.
How good the law school is and how have you studied/ interned for 5years is what matters.
It was a 2 hour guest lecture by the founder, Rohit Sharma about building your CV and mapping career growth. This session was different from others. It was informative, fun and actually fruitful. All the tips and tricks worked (I got to work at some of my dream organisations).
After two years I had an opportunity to intern with the organisation and I took it up in a heartbeat and I can now say that it is truly everything it promises to be.
Every session is curated, every activity has intent, every conversation is meaningful, and you are not just statistics here. If you’re a student looking for a community, confused between career paths or need mentorship, this is definitely your place to look.
Hope it helps :)
I am currently stuck between 2 college choices and would appreaciate your help. I am getting Hpnlu and jindal( at 25% scholarship), which one should i pick?
I come from a middle class family hence, for jindal ill have to take an education loan of about 44 lakhs, where as for hpnlu my family will sponsor me.
No T1 firms come to hpnlu, so its all about me getting a ppo or working at a small firm and moving laterally after some PQE. Initially even if i get a mid salary job, I dont mind cause I dont have to repay a big loan or something, as long as I can move to a better firm some years into the future. Whereas in jindal t1 firms do come but then its like pretty tough to get a t1 placement even after which ill have a hefty loan to pay off.
What do I do?
Will the loan be worth it?
Are lateral promotions tough in this field?
And don't stress about this now. Just do your best at your courses and take things slowly and with time.
