Lol just because the GLC peeps had one instance of awakening, also only owing to initiative by the retired justice, doesn't mean that it is the best. The crux being quality of host and questions that are put up matter more than just some revolution (read discussion) behind it.

I can't believe people like you are going to be my seniors. When juniors have valid concerns based on what seems to be the truth, you clarify and help them out. All you guys seem to do is harp on about how NUJS is still the best and how there's nothing wrong with it. No wonder most CLAT 2026 rankers opted for NLUJ/GNLU over NUJS. Gone are the days when cutoffs were ~250; its been ~350 for the past 2 years.

(how is this not marked as trollish btw?)

Show me five students who have cracked NLS, NALSAR, etc. and still chosen to study at Jindal. Elite ▮▮▮ who can't crack CLAT to get good NLUs have little choice left, hence Jindal. Plenty of NLU students belong to the families of ministers, bureaucrats and businessmen. They just have to be smart enough, which number is decreasing steadily of course.

Congratulations on securing admission to NLIU Bhopal through the General Category! That's a great achievement, and you should definitely be proud of making it to a Tier-1 National Law University.

As for campus life, NLIU offers a balanced mix of academics, extracurricular activities, sports, cultural events, and student-led initiatives. The campus is green, peaceful, and provides a good environment for both studies and personal growth. There are regular sporting events, cultural fests, moot court competitions, debates, and various student-run committees that keep the campus vibrant throughout the year.

The senior-junior culture is generally friendly and supportive. Seniors often help juniors with academics, internships, moots, placements, and navigating law school life. Like any competitive institution, individual experiences may vary, but overall the atmosphere is collaborative rather than intimidating.

Regarding teaching pedagogy, the focus is on classroom discussions, case-law analysis, research, presentations, projects, and practical legal learning. Students are encouraged to think critically and engage actively rather than rely solely on rote learning.

And yes, there is a genuine sense among many students that they are working hard to strengthen and enhance various aspects of campus life, academics, student activities, and institutional growth. Student-driven initiatives and participation play an important role in shaping the NLIU experience.

Wishing you all the best for your journey ahead. Make the most of every opportunity, stay curious, and enjoy your law school years. Looking forward to meet you

Can someone in the Projects Practice, give some clarity, on how the practice works?
I know there's horrible work life balance, I know that its more commercial, than pure regulatory;
however I would like to know about how to go about preparing myself for an interview, like if there's a book or something, as there isn't like a list of regulations or something, atleast that I have been able to find.

The industry doesn't demand long hours. The senior partners who work till late don't start working early. Human mind can't function effectively beyond 10 hours a day. If you start working from noon, then you'll have to work till 10 at night. If you start working at 9, then you can't possibly be functioning well after 7.

Another one I just saw on the exact same lines by a SAM competition lawyer (it’s a public reel) - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZvCSvgv4WW/

How are these associates getting done at 6/7 PM - are the hours actually getting better? Because I seem to living in a different world

Completely agree - the industry demands long hours. Senior partners work till late, it’s a product of the kind of work we do. She seems like someone too junior/ naive or someone who wants to quit soon. There is a growing trend of lawyers quitting and becoming content creators.

Are you ▮▮▮ or just ▮▮▮? How on earth is she making use of her time when she is taking yapping break, coffee break, lunch break and is doing important catching up for almost 1-2 hours out of a 10-hour office? I have yet to account for the time spent making reels in the office.

All in all, she clocks in around 6-7 hours of work in an entire day and droolers like you march in, saying 'we need to learn'. Oh, the irony!

Don't you get tired of posting this again and again? Why don't you start your own university and run these courses? People go to law universities to study law. If someone wishes to specialise in tech or science related legal domains, then there are electives for that. New electives can be introduced based on student demands. That's all there is to it. Lawyers aren't going be asked to do the job of a tech or science experts even if they have a BSc LLB degree.

If you're from Assam or the northeast. Definitely pick it up. More than the tier it's the proximity of the NLU to home that will help. Moreover if you're to litigate, judiciary or teach, it will help build contact in the region during those 5 years. If not, then it's the same as going to NUALS from the North. Just the tag.

it completely depends on the interviewer. i was mostly asked basic ques related to cap mar work mentioned in my CV (interview was for the cap mar team). I'd suggest covering CV prongs (focus more on those related to the practice area)> basics of relevant practice area > companies and contract. If its for disputes, then basics of arb, and CPC as well. Also, prepare answers to a couple of HR questions beforehand. All the best!

All the hate comments against the Kol office seems to come from a single disgruntled intern. I have interned in Kol, del and mumbai offices of Lks. My native is kol. And let me tell you, initially I also thought kol might not be good and interned in their mum and del offices and in the final semester, i just thought I'll try the kol office. However, the experience was certainly better than the del and mum internships. They have moved to a bigger, fancy space and the team size is quite good. They do IDT and DT lit and advisory apart from IPR and few Commercial lit matters. Unlike del and mum office there are no separate teams and everyone works in all areas. So the exposure is quite high and everyone is so helpful and humble which is contrasting to other firms in Kolkata. The internship experience was so fulfilling and I wanted to join there but life had other plans and I joined a Gen corp of a diff firm in a diff city. But if I had an option, I wouldve joined there. Also from my conversations with associates there, the pay is on par with del and mum and maybe even more in some months if they exceed the billing targets. The best part is that even associates appear independently before the tribunals and high courts which was quite shocking for me. So, don't fall for the hate comments in LI and miss out a good opportunity.

Yes so GB is not a good lawyer. Right. No merit but sheer nepotism to become a barrister. No merit but sheer nepotism to became one of the most sought after arbitration counsels in india. Sure. Y'all first gen ▮▮▮ dont have a winner mindset. All u do is look down and bring down others. Y'all are ▮▮▮ who would never achieve anything in life and complain about nepotism day in and out

Consider GLC for the following reasons:

1. You have free afternoons/evenings which you can use to do your articleship in a good law firm for solicitor exam.

2. You save money which you can later use to do LLM from abroad, QLTS, etc.

3. Connections/Network in Bombay Bar and law firm circuit can go a long way in catapulting your career in 5 years.

Anyway, put your maximum effort wherever you join (GLC or MNLU-N) and you will outshine.

All the best

My batch even had 22 YOs as first years, 19,20 is still young. Besides, you can just choose to not tell anyone if you feel conscious about it. In fact, the most important thing you need to remember for a smoother law school journey is privacy and being selective about what you share with friends and batchmates.

The CP office is easily one of the best Disputes Teams in the country. It's like a quasi-firm/chamber setup with VPS as their lead. VPS is a brilliant lawyer and mentor. The work hours are like any lit/disputes practice but the pay touches approx 20lpa for A0s which is a big plus, especially in Delhi. They have a strong marquee clientele and have consistently appeared in very big commercial matters. All associates visit courts regularly and work across all kinds of fields ranging from commerical arb to family law - there is no clear cut demarcation for sub-disputes practice area work, at least not till the SA level. They do WCC Investigations as well.

The office is very cramped with the only upside being that everyone including partners interact a lot mostly working together in a common area instead of slogging alone in cubicles like their Noida counterpart. As an intern you'll have many opportunities for direct partner interaction and mentorship. The only issue is that they take in a lot of interns making competition extremely tough - if you're eyeing a PPO be ready to put in the efforts and hours. They should genuinely switch their office not only because of the space crunch but also because Hansalya can come down any day. All the best!
