NLUs promise that they will build gyms for 10 lakhs, but in the end only 30,000 is spent and the rest of the money vanishes. It’s too bad most NLU students are non-confrontational and from elite families. They feel shy to protest like JNU, Jamia and Jadavpur students, who are mostly from non-elite backgrounds and don’t have our bourgeois inhibitions.

NUSRL has a shitty gym. No cardio machines for bois because obviously. Shitty weights, no rack for squatting, centuries old multi machine, wobbly benches so that you can drop the weight on your face, bendy barbells (more like tmt sariya). Overall lives up to the college's standard.

JGLS gym = BMW

NLU gyms = Bajaj scooter

Harsh but true. The more money you spend on student infra the better your gym will be. Most NLU gyms have two broke-ass treadmills, one broke-ass bike and a few dumbbells, which are the only things of use and not damaged. But then just doing bicep curls is not enough for overall fitness: even girls won’t be impressed with only biceps if the rest of your body is too thin or too fat.

Hey guys

I am a civil judge from the south and CS qualified lawyer with an LLM from Kings college. I am planning to leave my post as a judge as it’s very hectic and toxic. I am planning to move to Delhi to pursue white collar crime (any decent firm). Despite 2 years of experience as a judge, I also have 2 years of experience practising insolvency, tax, corporate law at a CS firm and under a senior advocate. I was hoping with my unique blend of experiences, I could be an asset for white collar crime litigation for any decent firm in Delhi. However, I would like to know if this plan seems feasible enough to be pursued. Any thoughts are appreciated

Look, the reality is that there is not a single new or added option that opens up if you go to DU. HNLU, on the other hand, has seen regular placements of the top 25% of the batch in major law firms, such that a salary of 14-16LPA is the norm for such a group. Even other people in the 25%-75% range get decent jobs ranging anywhere from 8-12LPA. (As you can notice, I'm not saying that everyone gets a great job at HNLU either; but the tag of the college ensures that your internship mails get opened, and some amount of campus placement takes place, too.)

DU LLB students, on the other hand, rarely get such offers. The batch size is higher, and even the top 5% have sometimes found it difficult to get into law firms that pay more than 12LPA. The majority of the batch ends up joining litigators who pay less than 30-40k per month. The placement cell is practically defunct and does not have direct arrangements/relations with the HRs of most law firms - which you'll find at HNLU, so that at least the toppers could get direct slots for internships. People at HNLU have scored direct slots for assessment internships at most T1s and higher-paying T2s like S&R in recent years, being able to convert them into PPOs with just one internship. In DU, you have to reach out to alumni yourself and keepon following through for favourable outcomes for just internships, and even assessment internships are only rarely secured through far more hard work.

So, if you want to have a higher probability of having a higher-paying job at famous firms, purely based on statistics, HNLU is a much better option.

But if you are so confident of your work ethic and contacts/future academic performance that you're sure of performing great in both academics and internships and building your own set of referrals and mentor-relationships to eventually land a good job from anywhere, then yes, DU LLB costs far lesser and is centrally located, so it makes more sense to go there.

Basically the title. Most of them might not be visiting LI so you can say for your batchmates as well.

But all I see after few years (1-5)in law firm is lit, inhouse, judiciary, UPSC, LLM and acad, LLM and foreign law firm, or get out of law altogether through an MBA. Apart from last (MBA) and first (lit), I see very limited options. Are there good number of vacancies in in-house, in other words do most law firm dropouts take up in-house?

I shall strongly suggest doing LLM from outside India, there are plenty of good universities offering full tuition waiver scholarships. Getting PhD scholarship outside India is easier if you have LLM from the same country.

Overall, academia is a great career, if you have sufficient drive you will defintiely get placed in a top NLU, there are very few NLU graduates who have done LLM and PhD and have not got a teaching job (if they were looking for one).

MUCH MUCH more than that. There are literally shacks in Dharavi which charge 1 lakh pa rent. The housing market is Mumbai is legalised extortion. In my case I am working from Chennai because I found Mumbai to expensive. My thinking is that if I want to spend so much then I might as well migrate abroad. Also, Mumbai is overrated. A chicken sandwich at the Hyatt in Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chandigarh or Jaipur isn’t very different from a chicken sandwich at the Hyatt in Mumbai!! They don’t put diamonds and gold inside chicken sandwiches in Mumbai!

1 crore pa before tax is the bare minimum needed in Mumbai to lead a dignified life. Anything less makes you lower middle class. I’m not exaggerating. Prices in Mumbai are more than Europe in many cases. Also, we need to spend on health, transport etc because the govt doesn’t spend our taxes on these (our taxes go into the pockets of politicians instead).

I've seen people come from colleges I haven't heard of and earn much more than 6lpa, but it's uphill. It's not impossible by any stretch of imagination but it's a task.

Colleges like Dsnlu, rml and nuals would be the ones that get a good grip on 6lpa packages. Hnlu, nluo, rgnul give a lot of 10 and above. This comes from a senior who said this is their University based pay deferential. It was a T2 and they paid me 6.5 but I was told people from some unis earn lesser and some more so this is what I think it is.

No names but there was this PA at Khaitan, she helped me get my first T1 internship. She did not know me at all, it was just genuine niceness in her to actually recommend me. My trajectory completely changed from then. I was a dejected student entering 4th year before that internship, but post that things started working out for me. I kept in touch thinking that now that she's done so much for me, I'm pretty sure there's a limit and I would be forgotten after some point. Long story short, she's the partner I work for rn and she's the nicest.

So, I have recently switched from a tier 3 Litigation Firm in Delhi to an automobile manufacturing company as in-house counsel. Although i loved my work in the firm as i was in the disputes team but the payscale was very low there. I switched to in house only due to the monetary factor but i find myself bored throughout the day as the work is not even 5% of the work i used to do in the firm. Please suggest how to go ahead with this and what a day in your

There are various NLU alumni and students who are volunteering for the Congress, AAP and TMC in this election. That's fine, but please verify before you tweet, guys! 🙏 The Modi govt will arrest you at the first opportunity, so don't given them a chance.

I am at a boutique but Renowned IP Firm, however as it goes at all other places, I am limited to protection, but am highly interested in developing my skills in the allied areas like M&E, Tech etc. Any suggestions as to how should I start and what skills should I develop exactly?

This is a reasonably accurate depiction. But for anyone interested in calcutta transactions, they should really be tracking what the national firms with no calcutta offices are doing, as interesting mandates are typically not handled by local partners but partners in Mumbai or Delhi.

To anyone who is interested: Try to find out more on those lines if you're interested in a calcutta based career.

Checkout Aditi Agrawal's reporting at HT, it was argued that WhatsApp as an App would loose its utility if it is allowed or to put it differently, eg legally india goes if anonymous posting is not allowed, it is the prime reason for its existence. Nothing was said suggesting that WhatsApp would leave India.

By career rethink I mean expanding your practice, or shifting careers by doing an MBA or starting a business. Or even going into politics and following the likes of certain C-grade fixer-lawyers who became crorepatis overnight and got promoted to Senior Advocate, by schmoozing with netas and handling their cases.

Because at some point it’s going to hurt when you see your batchmates driving BMWs, wearing Omega watches and throwing parties at the Taj, whereas you are stuck in a lower income bracket. 😐

If even Harvey Weinstein got acquitted in a supposedly gender-friendly country like the US, what hope can a survivor have in India? I have seen the tricks used by lawyers of perpetrators. They make filthy insinuations during cross-examination/arguments and do their best to slut-shame survivors. Judges have no sympathy, even women judges. Remember what a woman judge said in the Tarun Tejpal case?

Who the hell is saying that NLS kids are not going for Judicial Service, research well...I met candidate's (not 1 or 2 but 4-6) from QMUL / Cardiff & other foreign law universities during MPCJ /Haryana CJ / UPCJ exams. Since when the 2nd NJPC draft made public, forget nls or univ. kids many T1 corporate /SEBI /RBI/ employees /State PCS officers & even alot upsc aspirants shifted for PCS-J. Don't know about pre-2njpc but post there is a huge jump toward this.
