How does that work
1. No one taught you how to market yourself to get clients in law school.
2. Corruption is rampant - I know of at least 15 to 20 instances where the client-side asks for kickbacks to refer legal work and only allocates work to the highest bidder.
3. You have to be lucky or in the right circles (acquired by birth or marriage) to have a pre-existing relationship with, or get a warm introduction to someone that can actually be a high paying client.
4. The poor SPs that pitch to clients also get burned because those that they've pitched to expect infinite free consultations but never really want to pay. Those that do pay do so poorly and expect you to drop everything in your personal and professional life if the need arises. They will also shop a quote and switch attorneys for Rs. 5,000, sometimes less.
And millions of other reasons that I can't quite remember right now.
BOTTOM LINE: Why bother with all the aggravation? Just bill and get paid a fat sum to execute until the market is saturated with more of your kind. Hopefully when that time comes, you've built up a nice fat retirement fund and can finally spend time doing things that you love.
Don't call me woke. I have made it in law and business from an OBC no furniture house in the mid 90s to now. So I am speaking from experience.
20L a year = lower middle class
40L a year = middle class
60L a year = upper middle class
2 cr a year = rich
10 cr a year = HNI
20 cr a year = UHNI
40K a month on fitness and personal trainer
20K on groceries
10K a month on savings
10K a month on maid and OTT subscriptions (seems less for a maid, but the 40K for fitness balances it out)
13K a month on eating out (maybe a bit less)
3.5L a month on travel
1 L a month on cabs, grooming and savings
The 3.5L a month on travel is obviously a big expense, as this couple goes on 2 international and 2 domestic trips a year. But even if you exclude that it's still 2.5L a month. So is that the amount needed for a basic upper-middle class life, with some modest savings? Thus, accounting for income tax, a salary of 9-10 L a month for two people and maybe 5-6 L a month for 1 person?

On a serious note, chandiok and Mahajan has a decent data privacy team. BTG Advaya bas a TMT team in delhi. Inventus Law Technology Partners is one.
2. What are the benefits other than salary and bonus? Please don't say snacks. Any insurance or something?
3. How is the salary taxed here?
Will really appreciate if those who are aware could give genuine answers.
I have made a mistake to not attach all sem marksheets but previously it mentioned to put final sem marksheet a couple of days back. Also all sem marksheets for a 5 year course cannot be compressed to 200kb even the highest form of compression. What to do their helpdesk is unavailable. Will my application be rejected? Has anyone encountered a similar situation previously then please help!!!!
They give me mid 2010s VC bubble era vibes when all sorts of shit business models got funded to Kingdom Come.
With his thick frames, crew-cut hairstyle, and quiet demeanour, Kaushik, 27, is not your typical neta. His podium is podcasts and posts on social media. His ‘office’ is a utilitarian co-working space. But in the year since he launched the Libertarian Party of India (LPI) in 2024, it has acquired nearly 14,000 followers on X alone—Indians like him, fed up with the government’s bureaucracy, high tax rates, caste politics, and intrusion into their personal lives.
“The year 2024 was the moment I had realised it had gone too far. The increases in capital gains tax, the Ladli Behan Yojna (women welfare scheme) and other socialist schemes—the country was moving in the wrong direction,” said Kaushik.
The Libertarian Party of India doesn’t have the financial muscle of the Bharatiya Janata Party or the historical legacy of the Indian National Congress. But disillusioned Indians are increasingly drawn to the LPI’s principles of free markets, deregulation, and individual liberties. With its reels and podcasts discussing everything from freedom of speech to property rights, the new party is gaining traction. Run like a tech startup, it has no official headquarters and is entirely self-funded.
“We are staring in the eyes of communism,” said Kaushik. He doesn’t pound the table with his fists or raise his voice for effect like a seasoned orator. “The concept of private property is being eroded. And this will keep escalating.”
India has flirted with libertarianism before, but it was a different country then. In 1959, C Rajagopalachari launched the Swatantra Party as a counter to Nehru’s socialist policies. For four years from 1967 to 1971, it was the single largest opposition in the Lok Sabha with 44 seats. But by 1974, it had completely dissolved.

Here is the X account: https://x.com/libertypartyind
What's interesting about the Print article is that it points out that India once had a liberal party as the main opposition, with 44 seats in Parliament: the Swatantra Party. It perhaps died because the voters of that party shifted to the BJP, but the BJP is also practising the same socialist and reservation politics, so maybe time for a Libertarian Party once again?
1) IIULER is not an NLU (National Law University)
2) It is not a Government University/Government-Funded University
3) IIULER joins CLAT Consortium illegally by violating the Bye-Laws of Consortium of NLUs (Refer it from the official CLAT Website)
4) IIULER is a Private University but they try to brand it as a Public University
5) IIULER is not owned by Bar Council of India. IIULER is owned and managed by BCI Trust - PEARL FIRST (BCIT-PF) which is a separate and independent body that is not a part of BCI (Refer document countersigned by BCI Secretary in the official BCI Website)
Why I discontinued from IIULER (PhD)
1) They did not follow UGC PhD Regulations, 2022 (If it is not followed, your degree will be challenged later)
2) Even after 10 Months of commencement of PhD, they did not conduct Course Work Examination (which should really be conducted at the end of the first six months)
3) No Stipend/Fellowship were given to Scholars (even for JRF Holders of the batch)
4) They did not admit anyone as Full Time Scholars (I repeatedly requested to admit me as a Full Time Scholar since I have resigned my Job as an Assistant Professor (Law) to join IIULER). In their admission notification, they stated that they will admit as Full Time Scholars
5) Since I was not admitted as a Full Time Scholar even after 10 Months, I lost Scholarships/Fellowships for doing my PhD and the worst part is that, I resigned my Job as well for this!
6) IIULER doesn't care about UGC Regulations as even the then Hon'ble Vice Chancellor violates that by acting as Research Supervisors for PhD Scholars (No one can be a guide, co-guide or supervisor once that person crosses 70 years as per UGC Regulations)
7) Faculties are changing rapidly. When I joined there were 10 Law Faculties, but 5 of them resigned from there in 2023-2024 and 1 more in 2025
8) Due to word from Vice Chancellor, APRO and PG Coordinater, I even took an apartment there to do my PhD as a Full Time Scholar (They will not provide Hostel for PhD Scholars and they told me to took one in Jayaram Nagar itself so they will arrange the mess facilities for me from the Hostel), and I paid the Apartment Fees for 10 Months! But not even a single day, I was able to stay there since they don't adopt me (or anyone) as a Full-Time Research Scholar
9) When I tried to resign from there after 11 Months, I got admission in another Famous University in India for doing PhD, IIULER does not provide me Transfer Certificate or Migration Certificate, so I was not able to join for PhD in the other University since these are mandatory (Now, I got it from IIULER after several legal fights and explanation from Higher Education Department but anyway I was not able to join for PhD then since IIULER did not provide certificates on time)
10) Even the Vice Chancellor, Faculties and Administrative Staff deceive everyone as IIULER is a Public University (phone recordings are also available). It's so disgusting to deceive people and students (they even deceived me in the initial Doctoral Interview also as a Public University and whenever other people call and enquire with them!)
11) More than 6 times, I visited many authorities at IIULER to discuss the issue regarding the PhD, fellowship, Coursework problems and violation of UGC Guidelines
12) We didn't even get an ID Card from IIULER!
13) We didn't get any single Database/Remote Access after paying India's highest fees for PhD!
14) I paid Rs 1,35,000/- (as fees only!) for one year and they offered nothing in return (even not conducted classes properly)!
15) As per UGC Regulations, PhD Coursework is a 12 Credit Course (which means 12 hours lecture per week that too in offline mode). While IIULER conducts only 23 Sessions (1.5 hour each) through Google Meet (online) in the whole 10 Months still I was there and additionally a five day Research Colloquium (offline). They didn't even care about the existing UGC Regulations or standard of Doctoral Degrees!
16) There is no Administrative Officer in IIULER like Registrar, Pro Registrar, Pro Vice Chancellor, Controller of Examination, Assistant Control of Examination, PhD Coordinator or even those personalities as instructed by UGC in Higher Education Institutions for the betterment of Students!
Finally, "it is your personal decision to join IIULER or not!"
Opinions and Preferences will always differ. Anyway, these are the statements from my side. For any further details, please check authentic resources and governmental documents like Gazette Notifications, file some RTIs etc. Be focused in life and choose the best for your career!
They didn't "disappear" they were official posts, just made obsolete by law
Divide and rule didn’t even work for the British for very long and people who encourage this behaviour don’t realise they will get called out.
I got interviews and selections from all the T1s as a lateral after a T2 job for a year.
