There are firms/chambers where no matter what if you have finished work early or don't have too much work for that day, you're supposed to be in a office till a certain minimum time.
This was some 5 years back; back then there was a separate shortlist for interviews for social science grads (law, economics, etc).
FYI - Medical students with a CAT percentile of < 80 have also got calls .
It's definitely not easier. An engineer from IIT likely outdoes you on most of these parameters, while also being able score better in CAT than you because of the grip they hold over DILR and Quants.
One of them seems good but is actually just a big talker, unlikely to do anything.
One of them has no business in being in any law school, let alone NUJS. 😡
The newly appointed deans and their portfolios are:
- Arup Kumar Poddar (Undergraduate Studies)
- Sandeepa Bhat B (Postgraduate Studies)
- Lovely Dasgupta (Research)
- Anirban Mazumdar (Student Affairs)
- Shameek Sen (Alumni Affairs, Outreach, & Communication)
Thoughts?

I want to switch to a high paying in-house like ITC. How much can I realistically make in ITC or other such companies if I move as at an A2, A3, SA level. Because I have heard home grown inhouse lawyers dont really make into GCs.
I like to live a minimalist life. All I want is that my kids don't have to struggle with competitive exams to get into good colleges and that they can pursue education abroad, something I couldn't and still cant. Other than that I don't see any point in having lot of money with this kind of life.
Regardless of your batch rank, you simply can no longer rely on Jindal for your placements. The horrible and arbitrary marking and grade inflation, students quite literally lying on their CV and tanking interviews being unable to answer even basic wuesyions
OCS has been fired
And where did you hear about the expansion bro? It's a lie. They pay the lowest in Kolkata and hire the least. You can check this on multiple posts here and ask the people working there presently. I would suggest not to, unless you can afford to risk the chance.
Also whats up with everrrrrrryyyyyone and their uncles talking about MH now? Judge, lawyer, article, foreign partners, whats up!!
