Ohh, I wish I could take the college back to its glory days! If I ever reach to a level where I have enough political clout, I would make it my life’s goal to turn this institution around, provided it survives the ▮▮▮ administration till then.
Also, how difficult is it to get in without any contacts for a first gen lawyer not from Delhi? Are there waiting periods?
And, do they allow associates to take up independent cases while working at the office?

1. No laptops by office. Either get your own or buy if you want to work
2. punch-in and punch-out systems are only usually in morning and evening right? Ours were everytime you left office, for any reason.
3. 20 - odd ppl stuffed in an office meant for max 8 people
4. People quitting quicker than you can spell the word "attrition". No wonder team used to be anewed every month
5. Run by a single partner who's sole aim in life is to make money, be it at the cost of anyone. Keeping the lion's share of bill and throwing scraps to associates
6. You wouldn't get more than 2 leaves per months, no matter any issue. If you wish to, prepare to get humiliated roughly.
7. You would not get re-imbursement for any intra-city travels you make, and be thankful if you get full reimbursement for any client -related travels you make later on.
8. Pay cuts ever few months, for any weird-ass reason u can think of, be it a few thousand rupees or straight salary slash.
Note that this firm was ranked in global league tables, alongside KCO, CAM, Trilegal etc. Now go figure.

And dont poorer disabled people who do not buy mercs for themselves live in houses across the country? It might have been more accurate to say he had not found something that was disabled friendly that was to his taste/ status. But there are certainly houses that are disabled friendly that he could have afforded.
It most obviously was not a fair ask.
For long term interns/paralegals, not exactly sure but its either fixed (if you've come through college placement cell) or might be dependent on performance.
In either case, the stipend isn't anything to write home about. Your cost of living in Mumbai (if you're from outstation) will far exceed any stipend they give lol.
All the best though!

Dayz committee was very bad, there were scheduling issues and organised badly
Is this their new standard procedure or something?
Also, I had forwarded my CV through one of the head guys there!?
To practise in Delhi, Is it compulsory to be registered in DBA (Delhi Bar Asssociation) or DHCBA (Delhi High Court Bar Association) or SCBA (Supreme Court Bar Association) ?
Or Can I practise without enrolling in DBA, DHCBA etc ?
MNLU’s only plus is that being in Mumbai gives you the leeway to intern at more places throughout the year (provided you have good contacts to get into firms/chambers, college won’t help you much).
Corporate law firms are shifting towards hiring through internships instead of campus placements.
Any leads would be highly highly appreciated.
