A. The job market isn't as bad as you make it sound.B. For a T1, freshers are (obviously) least expensive and hardly make too big an impact for them to withdraw offers.
C. The firms will get you and ensure you resign if it has to happen or fire you after probation. This is due to D.
D. It's a huge reputational issue for them to withdraw PPOs - law colleges looking at them differently + market impact for them to get freshers.
Now, until a few days ago, I had no idea that an exam called CLAT exists. I actually stumbled upon it out of coincidence and decided to give last year's question paper to test myself and when I did, I found out that I've scored 90+ marks in it.
Including that, I also find law as a subject quite interesting even though I've no idea about it and I don't know if they will be a part of the curriculum or not, but I'm heavily interested in subjects like History and Philosophy too. And, I believe if I work hard, I will be able to get a tier-1 NLU along with getting a good job as a corporate lawyer by the completion of the degree.
But the problem is, that if do B.Tech, I will receive my degree and most probably a job too(a low paying-one) in 4 years. But, if I go with BA.LLB, it will take 1 year drop+ 5 year college= 6 years. My family's financial situation is also pretty bad and I desperately do need to earn as soon as I can to pay off debts.
So( and TL;DR), which one is a better option- Taking CSE in a tier-3 engineering college or
Taking a drop to prepare for CLAT and getting into a tier-1 NLU ?
Why is the accounts team given 2 days of WFH if it’s being misused like this? And why are there different rules for different teams?
This kind of behavior is extremely unprofessional, especially when many lawyers are working long hours with true dedication. Such inconsistencies reflect poorly on the firm's overall discipline.
I sincerely hope the management takes this seriously and ensures equal standards, responsibility, and professionalism across all departments.

I wish to pursue LLM at Camridge or Oxford for 2026 intake and am also targeting the IVYs.
I have prepared my LoRs (Academic) including taking one professional LoR (not sure if it is of any utility) from an Oxford Alumn.
I seek some suggestions for writing the SoP. While I have chosen atleast 2 subjects from the past year offered papers common across Oxcam and intend to structure my SoP accordingly, any guidance n SoP preapration will be appreciated. Also, I want to know how far technical knwoeldge of the desired subject for choosing pursue LLM mst be reflected in the SoP?? I have a broader knowledge about the particular subject of choice and would only gain expertize if I get into these institutions, so, does the admission committee looks into the actual in depth technical knowledge of the subject we intend to opt?
Thanks
However, I’ve observed that the Accounts team receives more flexibility, such as two-day work-from-home and relaxed timing, which is not extended equally to other departments.
While flexibility is a good step, it should ideally be applied fairly across all teams to maintain balance and motivation among employees.
Also, I’ve personally noticed some employees from the Accounts team using their work-from-home hours casually—spending time in cinemas and cafes during working hours. This can create unequal perceptions of discipline and accountability.
I’m sharing this feedback not to criticize, but with the hope that management will consider clearer WFH guidelines and equal policy enforcement for all teams, which would truly support an inclusive and fair work culture.
2. If you have done enough good quality work in your current firm, there's no reason to emphasize on your internships. Nobody is going to go through a 4 page CV. You work experience matters a lot more. You can omit ngo internships and those done in first few years of college.
3. Most of the questions asked will be based on your work experience, basics of the laws relevant to your work. Be thorough with the stuff you add to your CV.
4. It is usually scheduled based on the convenience of both parties, which is how it should be. Partner interview rounds might be based on their availability.
I recently got enrolled (provisionally until I clear AIBE) with State bar Council of MP. However, now that I am eligible to become part of bar association after obtaining the Enrolment no., I wish to acquire membership of Delhi High Court Bar Association or Bombay High Court Bar Association.
Having worked at Delhi & Mumbai, I do have conenctions who will endorse my membership request. However, whether any technical lacunae exists that may prevent my aspiration to acquire such membership?
The Advocates Act does not prohibit practice anywhere once enrolled with the Bar Coucil, I hope the same rule applies to acquiring memberships of Bar Associations different from the state of enrolment.
Also, a follow up would be, can one acquire membership of multiple Bar Associations?
Impossible!
By no means the "Number 01 Senior Advocate (re: in SC)", arguably not even in top 05 but, he's still young and by the end of his career may very well join the top ranks.
You should know the different types of revenue records, 7/12 extracts, Property Cards, mutations etc etc.
Since you're a fresher they won't ask you all these things in details but it's better if you know in case they decide to test you.
what do you think is the best? Clat pg (maybe get a t1nlu that way) or nmims right now?
Generally the tax lit teams work as delivery teams for actual engagement teams. They draft, brief counsels etc. And in few cases, appear.
Get real, guys. Asia is well ahead of India, with the exception of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal etc.
As for the other international cities, I'm a bit surprised that London is in the top five, having lived there myself. Don't get me wrong: it's a wonderful city, but on "affordability", the marks can't be high. It was only because I am disabled that I was allowed to live in on-campus, government-subsidised, housing at my university throughout my studies there. If you're not doing that, you're certainly paying a lot more. I'd personally have put London at 6 or 7 (or maybe even a little lower) because of that (but not willing to lower it to below top 10).
