Someone on that same thread also commented that you need to have a LLM to be eligible for Amit Sibal's chamber.
If she has a habit of lying and being diplomatic when she has to take a stand you should probably evaluate your decision to be friends with her.
People who are sweet in front of your face and talk behind your back are the most pathetic humans because they don't have a spine of their own.
I really regret that I did not know about these things during my period at law school. Would have helped me to be clear about my career choices and expectations in life.
Law as a profession attracts toxicity from the day you start preparing for law entrance exams imho.
I really dont know if its with the entire batch but most of us (non nlu people) havent been placed yet. Seeing the 2026 batch getting placement is certainly very depressing. Would really appreciate leads for a fresher role in GC primarily, but honestly anything works :'(
Bill share jhakk maar ke aayegi.
Just cos a partner or team bills high don’t expect sizeable bill share to you.. it’s also a function of your performance & contribution on each matter.
It’s a wonderful concept to track performance throughout the year on a matter to matter basis rather than do an appraisal exercise at the end of the year.

Sure, she’s sitting on obscene wealth—fortified bungalows in Chanakyapuri worth hundreds of crores—and yet somehow, the ED, CBI, and Income Tax all look the other way? Why is that? My guess: she bought peace through silence… and an early, cushioned political retirement.
And honestly, does becoming Advocate General in a state like UP even mean anything once you’re out? Does it bring real career mileage? Does it open doors for your kin, beyond fleeting relevance and name-dropping rights?
i have scored an internship and i really want to convert it
Similarly, Human rights is a vast area, within IHRL select atleast 2-3 areas you feel you would want to work in. So let's say you want to work in something related to women rights, so domestically you could intern with NHRC and work on say prison rights of women prisoners. It's not an international issue, but it's an issue nonetheless, and it shows that you're willing to work for these issues. Similarly, could be for migrants, LGBTQIA, etc. You have to demonstrate that you worked domestically before you move internationally.
Also, You're blessed to know what you want to do early on. Capitalise on it ! Gear everything towards it. Narrow down your areas in IHRL. Look at universities abroad and see what faculty and research scholars are working on. For example within Refugees, climate refugees are the hot topic. But you can't work on all of them, so narrow it to south Asia for now and so on.
Also, search for Tier 1 NLU students who have done their masters abroad. Many of them are now research scholars, and faculty in foreign universities. Find them, contact them, build a rapport with them. They too were newbies in the field. Track their journey.
Chill in first year. Get a sense of academics in general. Rest. You won't have much downtime soon.
And please don't think you need to work 24/7 all year round to get where you need to. Yes, it is important to work hard and the more the (usually) better. But from a workaholic himself, please consider using whatever time you do have to rest, to do just that – rest.
Hi, so this was posted by me 3-4 years back. I am doing decent - currently in the final year. However, the college has absolutely no role to play and I am not exaggerating. You have to either figure out your shit or pull some strings. Seniors/alumni are helpful but again depends on you.
If you are one of those guys who does well with no structure and can hustle your way through life, then you might consider the college. It has some face value in the Delhi circuit so that helps a bit, but nothing much apart from that.
