In fact, if you think about it, the SC’s order asking judges to oversee SIR may take longer, because judges may be more careful in going through documents and not randomly allow everyone.
Absolutely all bets are off if President’s rule is imposed in the state. Interesting times for NUJS…

Since college, I had my doubts about my ADHD, but as soon as I started working, I had to get it diagnosed, and I have been on medication (stimulant and non-stimulant). My work significantly improved, I feel like the fog has cleared up, and whatnot. Although after getting diagnosed, I asked my doc if i should disclose this at my workplace, he asked me not to because, from his experience, his patients faced some or the other kind of discrimination after disclosure of their diagnosis. On a lighter note, he asked me to disclose it if I start working for a US or EU-based firm.
But apart from this, do let me know if I can help you in any way with managing symptoms and work.
at least in M&A you can do some good deals; the same goes with capital markets.
lit side of ibc is just too streamlined same vohi applications SRA fighting to get the resolution plan approved blah blah blah.
soon you will realise that you will left with nothing and will be later on look for another avenue or switch as it will just waste time and you will remain in the same position as you were in starting, ultimately its your call
even if you become IP, it's not gonna add that much value trust me you will be just another kathpiutli of creditors.
If it’s the same day travel then you may not get an accommodation and you’re expected to work in court, followed by working at the airport.
In that case, I would advise attempting the state civil service exam as well, plus applying for private sector jobs in banks.
Based on this year’s rounds, Jindal delivered a marked improvement: logistics were smoother (accommodation, timings, venues), and, more importantly, the judging quality appeared significantly more consistent and credible.
For a competition like Jessup—where national qualifiers are the critical gateway to the international rounds—administration and judging integrity matter as much as logistical efficiency. Teams prepare for months, often 3–5, under demanding conditions. Poor organisation at the national stage is not a minor problem; it diminishes the value of that preparation and the legitimacy of the process.
Would love to hear perspectives from others who participated, judged, or coached this year: how did you find JGLS’s administration and judging compared to previous years?
2. KCO takes interns online, but if your team requires you to work offline, they will let you know. My team wanted me to work offline, they asked me if I can come to office.
3. No cons of virtual internship. You can always connect with your associates. You'll get work no matter what. Totally depends on you, how good you are with work.
4. I know someone who got their internship transferred, but only if you know the partner from the other office you want to work in.
We would like to welcome you on board (virtually)
how does this work? are they talking about only the on boarding process or the whole internship? is there a way to get the physical internship?
also, pro and cons of this virtual internship? i really was hoping for a physical one. despite the fact i applied for Delhi NCR and Mumbai office, they assigned me to the Noida branch. if their any way tot transfer the office?
Please share your experiences

Mamata really has a tendency to surprise with her picks!! But this also fits into a pattern of choosing people who are very active on Twitter, like Jawhar Sircar, Saket Gokhale or Sagarika Ghosh.
Sourav was clearly chosen because of his social media activity rather than professional standing. Had it been the latter, she would have chosen someone like Jaideep Gupta or Menaka Guruswamy or even Debanjan Mandal.
This shows the immense influence social media has. No one follows legacy mainstream
media anymore, certainly not people below 35. So Mamata is smart to sense the trend.
What strikes me most is the decision of the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, to adopt CLAT scores for admission to its integrated undergraduate law programme. The Faculty of Law seems to display a right-leaning tilt, extending invitations predominantly to individuals associated with right-wing ideology — from Jai Sai Deepak to Justice Pratibha Singh of the DHC.
Furthermore, I found this petition https://www.change.org/FightAgainstBirthBasedSlavery
The broader objective appears to be the attraction of students from privileged classes, followed by the subtle inculcation of a far-right conservative ideology. It seems as though the institution seeks to draw in the “cream of the crop” and gradually transform them into torch-bearers of a particular ideological vision. In other words, there appears to be a mission to influence the English-speaking upper classes and position them as carriers of an extreme ideological project.
Those who qualify the CLAT examination are often in possession of significant cultural capital typically associated with upper socio-economic classes. Such individuals are likely to occupy influential positions in the future, and there is a concern that they may function—consciously or otherwise—as vehicles for the spread of a particular ideological orientation.
In contrast to CLAT, CUET tends to draw students from vernacular backgrounds, smaller towns, and rural areas. In a realistic model of social mobility, their statistical probability of occupying positions of higher institutional power remains comparatively low.
Dr. Mohan Gopal has argued that the exclusion of upper-class OBCs from reservation would adversely affect the quality and breadth of OBC representation. Taking a similar line of reasoning, it appears that the University of Delhi has strategically chosen to attract students from English-educated upper classes, enabling the dissemination of a particular ideological orientation more effectively than if it were rooted in working-class students. The model seems to follow a top-down approach.
Historically, during the British Raj, the colonial government emphasised the education of the upper classes so that they could function as intermediaries and transmit imperial values to the broader population, including the so-called “depressed classes.” The present pattern, in structure if not in form, appears to echo that method of ideological transmission. This resembles a broader project of ideological implantation from the top down within the University of Delhi.
The Vice-Chancellor of the DU publicly questioned the acquittal and innocence of G. N. Saibaba, a man who was wrongfully incarcerated for his alleged left-leaning ideology and who died within a year of his release after spending ten years in prison with 90% locomotor disability. When a Vice-Chancellor publicly questions a decision of the Supreme Court of India, one must ask whether there is genuine respect for the law of the land, or whether such statements reflect disregard for the Constitution and the authority of the highest court.
The management of the moot court hall openly displays a Hindi commentary of Jayadayal Goyandka on the Bhagavad Gita, despite the fact that no moot court competition has ever been conducted in Hindi on the premises. On the one hand, there is an overt display of affinity toward Hinduism and the Hindi language; on the other hand, regional languages and even the official language of the Union i.e. Hindi are sidelined in practice.
These developments raise serious concerns about equality, neutrality, and the constitutional character of a public university.
The term of the present assembly ends on 7 May. So if things drag on by then, I guess President’s rule will automatically be imposed.

2. Why would you wanna go to the U.S. atm?
Thank you!
Need to get away from a shitty job and this might bring some respite. Also, what is their interview process like?
a) HR clearly separates Assessment and Non-Assessment interns. Assessment opportunities are often given to people from NLUs or Jindal, even if their CV is blank or they do not have much experience.
b) HR allocates mentors to Assessment interns through email, but regular interns are not informed about their mentors unless they ask her multiple times.
c) Whenever there is a meeting, she informs the Assessment interns, especially those from NLUs, but regular interns are not informed and have to figure it out on their own.
d) ▮▮▮
e) Even at the time of exit, regular interns were not informed about exit formalities or asked for bank account details, whereas Assessment interns were properly informed and everything was explained to them in detail. ▮▮▮
Overall, the people are nice, the work is very good, you will learn enough if you work hard, and the pay is very good. ▮▮▮
One fine day, a post-filing regulator calls me and yells at me for putting pressure on him through back channels. Later, the boss got a fierce call from someone senior in the regulator, saying someone had called them. Our party principal (squeaky clean) then had a call with the counterparty to shut this down.
Got an approval quickly after I back-channelled and calmed them down. Post-approval, the I Banker called to thank and offer sheepish explanations. Later called again for some administrative tasks - decided not to pick up the phone. Kept things on e-mail. All they did with their pushiness was damage the client's reputation before the regulator.
They simply do not appreciate the verbal finesse required for this job. Browbeating on concalls with blunt statements only gets you so far.
