We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
I mean we all know the answer might be through contacts, but avoiding that line what is the statutory mechanism?
And yes, if considering contacts, with whom to make those?
The issue is - this platform is primarily dominated by UG students in NLUs. They don't like any other group coming in—hence, you'll seldom see any discussion/posts about IIT KGP Law School, either. The crowd here detests both the NFSU Law and the IITKGP Law because both are national institutions, while their 'beloved' NLUs are state universities (yearning for the elusive national status).
That said, thanks to the moderators for posting this and letting this discussion happen.
2. As for writing in English:
(a) You began the conversation by writing in English. Write in Hindi, why don't you? And for good measure, write in Hindi using a Hindi keyboard, not an English keyboard (on windows go to language settings and change accordingly). You know why you should write in Hindi using a Hindi keyboard in your LI conversations? because the LI moderators/admin want the site to be accessible to the blind. Hindi words, written using English letters, totally messes up the interaction that assistive technology software packages used by blind people have with digital material. However, this doesn't happen if you write in Hindi using a Hindi keyboard. Therefore, write in Hindi using a Hindi keyboard for that reason, if nothing else.
(b) English is no more uniquely a language identifiable with the British. Top Indian legal academics - Upendra Bakshi, B.S. Chimne - all write in English. India has uniquely adapted English to its circumstances and needs. So go figure!
I have to say, I liked his interview to the Times of India, because he acknowledges the risk that NUJS may be deteriorating into a third-rate college.
From a purely pragmatic perspective, I am hoping that the BJP wins Bengal, so that central government funds can come to NUJS.

Less goo!!
Being from a good NLU helps, yes. The main reason is not necessarily the impact of the institution, but the quality of your peer group at essentially any of the T-whatever, older NLUS. You also typically benefit from the institution's reputation, built on the goodwill of several successful years of alumni. I must also acknowledge that your average NLU peer would need to put in less effort or get by with a less "successful" CV, to reach the same achievement milestones, primarily Vac-schemes and T-1 jobs.
At the same time, doing really well (academically or through demonstrated experience) at other colleges, and in your case, SLS-N, is enough to bridge the gap for a T-1 goal or whatever corporate law aim a person has.
Give your best in the CLAT, try to get into the college of your choice, and do not worry about being a dropper; it never matters. At the same time, think about continuing with SLS-N and really assess your capability of making it to a college of your choice, before dropping out.
Prepare while in that college, it being in NCR has it's own perks which you'll realise in coming years, most NLUs are not in metro cities with multiple forums, you'll get good internship exposure in Delhi and that will eventually be the deciding factor for start of your career.
And if in case you do wish to clear that idiotic exam, focus on and 2 things. Your reading comprehension and your GK. As a UG student, you may not be aware of it but since after 2019 pattern change, that exam is not but a simple ticket for those privileged with good English exposure to get direct entrance to NLUs. Every section required your utmost comprehension, even the legal section, which will have more than 80% of answers in the passage itself.
Rest is the GK part, with which you should be good. Be a champ and be thankful to whatever you're getting, you'll be more privileged by the end of your law clg due to your proximity to NCR. Otherwise clear CLAT but try to avoid any tier 2 city NLU, unless it's genuinely having good faculty.
What will be the likely impact of this judgment?
I have almost made the decision to take up the role at NLU now, even though I feel that this private university can give a much better international exposure in my field. The problem with international exposure is that I'm not inclined to go abroad.
Once again, many thanks for the inputs.
Some would even argue that the ideal path for people who want to pursue higher education law teaching basically isn't in India. Shifting abroad is difficult, costly, makes you loose touch with family, filled with vast uncertainty - given the backlash in western countries towards immigration.
In your situation - Tier 1 NLUs might have the advantage of better international recognition - which might help you later (in India or abroad)- which most private universities will certainly lack. That said - make sure you are taking a well considered decision

Whether the judgment is correct and augurs well for legal education in India ?
Slow demise of antitrust enforcement
Bro, honestly, I’m not as into litigation as I once thought I’d be. It’s definitely not about the salary, once you factor in the associated perks, the overall compensation in the initial years more or less balances out.
For me, the main reason is the lifestyle I want and the environment I miss. My ideals might be unpopular, at least in this forum, but Delhi is not where I see myself spending the coming years of my life. And it’s not just Delhi, I genuinely enjoy village surroundings and less crowded places. Those are usually the areas people want to avoid, but having lived in Delhi my entire life and only visiting villages or towns (across India) for a couple of months a year since childhood, I’ve realized I no longer want to sustain life in metro cities. I’m willing to trade future “success” and a higher salary for the chance to work for society while staying as far away from metros as possible.
Honestly, I just want a job that allows frequent transfers and keeps me close to actual natural life. UPSC, at least, offers that. Most cadres have only one or two big cities, and the rest are small towns and that’s exactly what I’m looking for. (Once & if, selected) Any transfer to any major city within the cadre won't survive more than 2-3 years, the rest of my life I can avoid all the chaos and actually live peacefully and enjoy being alive.
Also I would like to add another seventh point.
7th mistake was Introduction of the Tertiary Sector Revolution to the regions of the country which has not even seen Primary and Secondary sector revolutions yet.
Humans need time to evolve and adapt, giving modern tech in hands of tribals without evolving them via introduction of agriculture, and later industry and associated value educations, is a great sin towards them and towards the rest of world.
