I actually had the impression that Dhruv Rathee is an educated fellow who is unbiased and honest. But like someone said here, andhbhakts are everywhere.

I saw his last video on Instagram where he attributes the Pune Porsche accident, and the subsequent order of the judge to Modi. Not only this, there are several other "facts" he has been presenting that quite honestly are not even related to the ruling government in any way.

So please don't compare him to Kanhaiya Kumar, Mevnani, and the likes. They have far more integrity than this guy who I believe is only doing all this for money and fame.

If the exit polls on TV are correct, I am sorry to say that Rahul Gandhi should make way and the Congress should elect a fresh face from outside the Gandhi family as their leader. There are many such people they can look at who can inspire young Indians, such as Kanhaiya Kumar, Jignesh Mevnani, Dhruv Rathee, Swara Bhaskar etc.

So according to the exit polls, the BJP will win by a big margin. In my view, the first thing that this will do is eliminate the possibility of a Rajya Sabha lateral appointee as law minister, like Mahesh Jethmalani or Tushar Mehta or Ranjan Gogoi. This is because there will be a large number of BJP MPs from different states and Modi will need to accommodate them. My money will be on Bhupender Yadav as Cabinet Minister for law, with Bansuri Swaraj as MoS. I don't think Modi will give it to Abhijit Gangopadhyay.

Haha. Someone spilling the beans about JSA. And really, what’s all the hype about the bill Sharing?Seniors can slash your hours as they like to impress a client, so even if you have worked 100 hours, there is no guarantee if you’re getting that 8%. And mind you, on certain months you really are almost working yourself to death to close certain deals. Most of the amounts are taken by the seniors. Risk to reward ratio for juniors is very off.

JSA has a reputation of good culture + good pay due to 8%. I’d still like to think the culture is good. But if you are in JSA/ planning to join, please independently verify if the situation is still true for the particular team.

Telling from booton my experience of working for years. Base salaries are very low, even in teams like banking and capital market (which people project as rainmakers). Salary of Ass- 0 and Ass-1 range from 90,000 to 100,000, and a with the promise of you get fancy bill share that is ultimately not the true.

Let us Fer instnce, in March, you migjt work extremely hard kie hell and close 2-3 deals. Each deal has a mandate of 800K (overestimated figuress). An 8% share of that would be 64,000, which gets distributed among the team. The partner and senior take around 45-50, leaving you with 10-15(best best). So, what do you earn in March? Just an additional 25-30K. Other months, you only add 10-12K. In total, so only you add around 1L to your base salary.

A need for change iz needed. Egher the base salary needs to increase to match Tier 1 standards or there need to be other adjustments. Bespite these issues, the peoples here are goody goody good good good than tyre 1s.

Why is NLS' research and publication score not increasing though, despite having so many best faculty? It's been a full term of Sudhir. He's increased the seats and fees, made the recruitments, but didn't manage to improve on this front. Aren't the faculty being given enough time to research and publish?

Best model: get the best students (through CLAT), has the best faculties in India, infra wise one of the best (Prolly behind Jindal, I'm talking about academic infra and not sports/hostel). Best faculties translates into a very good curriculum and a very good understanding of the subject. The rigorous timeliness and academics also prepares you for the professional world.

All these reasons cumulatively makes it great.

One word answer - The crowd. Every aspirant's first choice. Best students reach there and it reflects.

That's what makes IITs, IIMs, top medical colleges, etc. what they are today. It's always the students.

No matter how much this forum or anyone tells merit is sham, it doesn't exist, etc etc, don't be a fool. Anyone who has cracked any exam with under 100/200 rank in this country, has put in the effort.

SAB KUCH THATS IT.

Aveek had friends in CPI(M) but he hated the party. That's how he ended up having a great friendship with Madam Kindness. You should play old records of ABP Ananda to see how enmeshed they were with TMC during the dying days of CPI(M). But something soured between Aveek and Madam Kindness and the former became quite overt in pushing for regime change but that flopped in 2016. That overreach caused Arup and his son to move in. Parts of ABP group got sold off as "non-core" and the process of isolating Aveek started. CM Kindness delayed clearing bills owed to ABP group and arm twisted with other economic levers.

Aveek had to vacate dominant positions. Juggernaut Books didn't make the expected splash. ABP Online didn't take off that well. And now Arup and son are in dominant control. Somehow due to layered and complicated shareholding ABP News (including ABP Ananda) is yet to come under the exclusive control of the feuding brothers.

But beyond all this I am not surprised that ABP, The Statesman, TOI and Indian Express did not report. Certain faculty members, including alumni teach had those stories killed off when clarifications were sought.

Its Hunger Games. Wise up SJA.

1. Capital Markets is one of the best areas you could look at (also look at things like Investment Funds, Private Equity, M&A etc.) in addition to your correctly-identified one of international taxation (others in the hivemind, please add any I have missed/explain why some of what I have suggested may not be all that helpful, if you feel this to be so).

2. If you seriously think that you can get in using your own determination etc., that's wonderful. The process for getting vacation schemes and training contracts in London at many firms is one that is particularly conducive to individual effort, as it is long and requires you to go through many steps, which an RCC-type of organisation is ill-equipt to help you with. Therefore, if you can apply yourself to learning about the process of individual firms, practicing Situational Judgement Test practice samples (SJTs as they are known), demonstrating the ability to work in a group in various firms' assessment centres, demonstrate your commercial awareness (i.e., an understanding of how a law firm, as a buisness, is impacted by market movements) and generally show interest in becoming a commercial lawyer, there is no reason why you couldn't be successful in an application process for a vacation scheme (essentially an internship where commercial law firms in London assess your performance before selecting you for a TC) or directly for a TC itself. Do make sure, however, to check with the Graduate Recruitment departments of your chosen firms whether they will sponsor visas for vacation schemes, for if they won't, you may have to apply for a direct training contract itself. Don't worry too much about work visa sponsorship for TC and PQE though, as most firms within the square mile in London at least - the credible names (the big names you think of like Freshfields, CC, A&O Shearman) - are Skilled Worker sponsors, who pay at the rates required by the skilled worker thresholds/going rates that UKVI/Home Office has set. While you'll be competing with those from British unis, other international unis and the NLUs, if you can demonstrate academic excellence along with the other qualities I described above, there's no reason why you couldn't possibly enjoy a successful international career.

You can manage almost anywhere with English it'll just be difficult and limit you.

Honestly go somewhere where you can use your second best language and it'll be fine. You don't need to be super fluent (and you'll improve with practice anyway).

And if it's litigation think about staying for free with your parents or cutting costs for a few years - to do that, even go to where you can speak your third or fourth language.

T1 NLU student here. I technically know four languages, but I'm only good at one- english. Im not good at the other 3 languages. I'm planning to join litigation, but I fear that not knowing a vernacular language could be a problem. In which state can I join a practice where I will not require a second language?

The reason why it is delayed is because of partner promotions which only happen post August. If they give increments to everyone including prospective partners, then they will have to change the salary structure for the guys who become partners within 2-3 months only.

So, they don’t have want to go through that hassle.

hi everyone

im in grade 12 and im a science student. ive been preparing for clat since april, and i have been giving mocks every week. however, my score has kind of stagnated in the legal reasoning part. i have not been able to score over 19 and its frustrating and demoralizing. my overall score has improved little by little, but legal remains the same. 19. considering that legal reasoning score is a tie breaker in clat, im really nervous about this. i have been analysing but somehow im not able to get to the root of the problem.

what to do? pls help

While much of the substance of your post may contain valid points, you forget that many people aren't likely to be nepos. So no luxury to get into that kind of work. They actually may need to bring food to their own (and in many cases are expected to bring food to their families') table(s) by entering the legal profession.

Absolutely correct. Not so absurd if you're an adult in the real world. At the end of the day, especially in corporate, the employer wants you to be "yes people !" They just want you to come, work and gtfo. That's it. They don't want the creativity, the solution, the logic, they've got other people for it. So who do they choose ? Someone who's a well rounded individual? Who's studied, played, parties and become an open minded individual ? No, no, no..cause these kids will be the first to call out any injustice or lag in the machinery. So they naturally go for the kid who kept their head down and towed the line. They one who was told to follow a path and work accordingly. Also they know most internships in India suck balls, they're just CV filing paperwork. However the opposite spectrum is true as well, kids just want money for work and chill playing ps5 and watching netflix. They don't want the grind of working as an advocate, NGO or research as it doesn't pay well and they're not in it for the passion.

So if you want to really want to work, join the chambers, join an ngo or work in a research institute. But if you just want mindless work, where you're paid money and chill at home, then continue being a corporate slave.

French, Spanish, Python, R. Like to read foreign literature in original version, which prompted the first two. Wanted to upskill myself as I like tech law and AI regulation, so the coding and programming lingo knowledge help a lot in doing some extra projects. Have a teacher at my law school who does AI research work and he has guided me a bit and also got me involved in some of his projects.

Thank u to the lawyers who expressed their support. The sr. is not a media face, mainly appears in DHC and tribunals. I had a word with his concerned jr. and he said he acted out of compulsion to impress the client, as he was getting to bill the client for himself. He has given me 5000/-, perhaps given to him by the sr. so that I dont pursue a complaint in the bar against him. I hv put the matter to rest.

As an intern, I felt targeted by an Associate. I'm not someone who does bad work. My work has been appreciated in all my past internships, and other team members in this firm also liked my work. However, I don't know why this Associate kept being really mean to me. She used to reprimand me for unnecessary things when I was not even at fault. It felt like she was dumping all her mood swings and work stress on me. Even when I was working on assignments given by other Associates, she would find some petty reason to call me to her desk to yell at me. There were instances when I lost focus while working for other Associates because she kept disturbing me with her tantrums for no reason. I have no clue why she was doing this to me. I felt like quitting several times. I have never experienced something like this at any other place. I once even decided to report this issue to a senior member of the team but couldn't gather the courage.

I had a friend intern there who quit midway. He said that the work culture was atrocious and there were no fixed timings. He would go days without work or be bombarded with irrelevant grunt work near the end hours. There were hardly any learning opportunities and as mentioned in another comment lots of time was wasted on mandatory submissions. Associates barely provided feedback, and one partner assigned unethical work (can't disclose the nature but it was shocking when I heard from him). Also there was one trainee associate in particular who was particularly rude and in my friends words 'had an ego bigger than the partners'. I won't recommend anyone to intern there. Utilize your time better somewhere else.

is it okay to quit my UX/UI design internship with only a month left, these past 5 months i spent there werent productive at all. I cant see my growth, or any skills that i thought i would develop after taking the internship. I had to take this internship as a part of curriculum for my last semester in college, now that the evaluation is done i want to be free from this toxic work culture as soon as possible! My boss asked me to give 24/7 hours for the last month of the internship for which i am already working 9am to 6:30pm from monday to saturday! Not just that but the feedback to my work is not very constructive as well, i feel like i am looked down upon and then they end the sentence with "you have to push your boundaries", "do not limit yourself", "the work you have done does not take that much time". And to add even more, i am paid the minimum wage for the work i do there. I have been giving my all! They just want to get as much work as possible before this intern ends from me and i feel as if i am being used and there is nothing i am being given! nor the right wage, or the appreciation or the respect
