1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

- Reach out to your "alumni network", even though said networks don't actually exist. If you brown-nosed a senior enough in college they may offer some help but beyond that you're on your own. (I'm fairly certain you must've already tried reaching out to your seniors and it didn't work out, which is why you're asking this question in the first place. This bit about sucking up to the "alumni network" is pretty trash advice and is regurgitated unthinkly on this forum.)
- Work at a local law chamber in your city
- "LLM kar le"
You need to understand that most law firm environments comprise a mix of petty, stressed out and bitter people. Stop expecting help from those quarters. Join a company or a firm and work your way up. Send hundreds of cold emails. Ask for a job, if not that then an assessment internship if not that then an internship. Write articles of the practice area you're interested in and try to get them published. Send them to relevant partners.
Don't depend on your seniors. MS Dhoni had once famously remarked, "Don't look up, God isn't coming to save you". Carry this attitude in your life and you'll go far. Keep your dignity and wits about you. All the best.
I mean who would even resign from a top tier govt. Grade A gazetted Central Service?
Sudhir Krishnaswamy, the VC of NLSIU, said in an interview once that when he was at NLS as an undergrad, he and his contemporaries felt that their uni was "behind the curve" regarding things like Rhodes. People from the famous "Delhi colleges", as he puts it, were regularly "[walking through]" such procedures. He said this to highlight how much things have changed by now. Are you able to quote statistics to show why his perception in this regard would have been right in terms of people studying law at those universities? In other words, how many law Rhodes scholars did we have from India prior to the NLU system's advent on the scene? And how many TLC law Rhodes scholars have we had since?
PS: Don't say C. Raj Kumar, because he was Sudhir's contemporary, and is therefore already counted. Also don't count Rahul Bajaj, because I already know about him. Give me the statistic for all other Rhodes scholars who did postgraduate law degrees with the Rhodes from TLCs.
Chances of me being unemployed is more if I’m interested in JSA’s BnF retreat lol!!
infact language policy was't made in original constitution written by amedkar and team.. country was divided as per lingustic states as per people's asperations. if lingustic states were't formed then country would have been divided... infact formation of India and pakistan itself was not done correctly...nothing is perfect...
What types of questions, should I prepare for?
If you guys are doing well. Keep the good work going and I don't think there is anyone out of an IIT or an IIM in India who didn't make something out of their lives.
This really feels like a sponsored post, or one made by the students.
