Fellow ‘NLUJ NRI Survivor’ here too lmao. If this makes sense, idc if it doesn’t. I won’t mention my exact year of studying but I am pretty sure that you are referring to NLUJ only. We do have a problem. A glaring issue in fact. The current batches have this animosity against nri candidates where they can be made a punching bag for jokes. I know some people who are afraid to elaborate themselves as ‘NRI’ in my batch because of the stereotypical thought. Oh also, I know certain candidates at Nluj who even topped certain subjects around the college but still helmed as ‘undeserving’ due to sheer jealousy ofc. NLUJ is becoming the silent hub of nri discrimination. I have seen students checking a specific year’s nri merit list to gauge candidates and their names in our register. Lmfao. The situation’s detoriating and I know some people will denote us as ‘snowflakes’ but it is what it is. I have even heard this pathetic rhetoric of ‘nri candidates should retake clat for their lack of qualification’, I am glad I didn’t fall into that trap of backbitching. I did retake clat tho, didn’t work out. Plus the current lot was quite happy when the college was supposed to scrap off the ‘nri’ quota. Smhhh

Alumni are afraid to speak out because they are scared of the TMC. I will tell you why. I live in Jadavpur constituency, which is voting today and where there have been incidents of violence shown on the national media as well. This morning, right in front of my home, I saw a group of TMC goondas hurl abuses at a very respected doctor, who is a Left supporter. They were showing him their fists and were about to hit him, but he then got saved by a group of Left cadre. This sums up the state of affairs. Imagine, this happens in broad daylight in the heart of Kolkata, in an area where you have Jadavpur University. So you can’t really blame alumni for being scared to protest against NKC.

Jindalite from SoBo. Voted for Shiv Sena (UBT) for the following reasons:

1. I want a secular government and Rahul Gandhi as PM (as SS-UBT is with a Congress ally).

✋🇮🇳

2. I want a government that will stand with the LGBTQIA++ community 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈💙

3. I want a government that will stand with Gaza and Ukraine. 🇵🇸🇺🇦

GDP growth in current prices doesn't really mean anything, as inflation accounts for much of the growth. For the real picture, one must see GDP growth in constant prices. Separately, increase in GDP merely indicates that the economy is getting larger, but not necessarily richer. You need to consider other parameters to determine the overall state of the economy such as per capita income, investment to GDP rario, inflation, employment numbers, rural demand, etc. Hopefully this wasn't too technical for the average jobless rando li crowd.

This is so absurd, especially when you consider the contrast between the sort of work carried out at firms v/s the mostly redundant stuff you're taught in college. Why such a blind reliance on grades alone, cause they indicate how likely one is to put their head down and get the work done?

I'm a 2022 grad currently working in-house.

While in-house has been rewarding in some ways, the pay is abysmal and the increments are peanuts. I want to consider working in a law-firm but so far no one is ready to even review my in-house profile.

If there are any lawyers who have switched from in-house to a law firm, please shed some light.

Hello!

I have been considering applying to Hemanth sirs team at SAM. Have a varied interest in Tech. Can someone please please review what the work at his team and in the office is like overall?

Can on expect a standard 2 week internship ?

Please help, thank you!

This thread is for sharing out real life experiences of toxicity faced by us in law firms. In no way, this is meant to be generalised.

Please do not name the person or team, just your experience. The rationale is that such people read this and think twice before repeating their acts.

Use something which is comfortable to use and isnt too shabby.

Go for these brands if you fancy them.

Nobody (i repeat, nobody) apart from you cares what bag you use to haul your stuff.

Dont fall for this trap of this name brand bag at this level, this name brand watch at that, this name brand scotch at that.

Save your cash, invest wisely, spend on things which matter to you. I personally spend over experiences over brands.

1. I would say in terms of work pressure it is similar to T1 law firms. The HR herself makes it clear in the intern orientation.

2. Yes, it is possible to get a direct assessment internship especially if you're in your final year. Please note that the internship interview may involve technical questions - only knowing the CV may not be enough to clear the interview (like it would be for clearing internship interviews at other T1 law firms). You must study the major laws and issues concerning the practice area that you have applied for.

3. For PPO, the teams are quite selective. You're judged on your research, analytical and presentation skills. Make sure your research is thorough and your presentation at the end of the internship addresses a practical issue and provides a practical solution. A mere theoretical understanding will not be sufficient.

General Piece of Advice: Getting a PPO depends on many factors and not getting one doesn't necessarily mean that you don't have the above skills. It could be that there was no vacancy or that some other candidate was more visible to the team in that particular month.

They are actually deceiving people and students by stating it as a Public University!

Never ever fall in their trap!
