What bothered me was how this narrative overshadowed the quiet struggles of countless CA aspirants, IITians, MBA, CFA, CS, Law students, and others who are genuinely hustling, juggling intense coursework, night jobs, and real-life pressures. They live out that struggle silently, without any hype or overdramatization.
But I also remind myself: not every Gen Z kid is an attention seeker. Our generation faces real battles, mental health, financial stress, social anxieties, peer/family pressure and the constant push to keep up. Unfortunately, a few flashy voices paint us all with one brush, fostering the stereotype that Gen Z is entitled or dramatic. That’s simply unfair.
So, to older generations/old school people: please look deeper before judging any Gen Z kid. Many of us are working hard and quietly. And to my peers: celebrate your wins, but let’s not inflate the ordinary or dilute the meaning of grit with too much drama.
Yes, I’m a Gen Z kid but I’m not that Gen Z kid.
it’s also inevitable that many lawfirm jobs will disappear. Looks like AI is a million times worse than the atom bomb.😨

NUJS will remain ivy league only if they work on areas apart from corp placements (like getting a new campus for starters) which are honestly the best among law schools they have cracked the code, but the infra - it does not look any better than a local college.
NLUD is just fine, it's still in toddler phase so by 2040 it will be ivy league, their current good NIRF ranking here does not matter because if you take a look at it some random ass colleges get better rank than most NLUs - very not credible - everyone in the fraternity knows the reality. NLUJ, GNLU and NLIU are embryos so by 2040 they will be rank 4th 5th and 6th not in any particular order. ILS, GLC were good but now they are in senile old age (all we can do is talk about their glorious past).
as of colleges like SLS Pune - it is good, while Jindal/ JGLS admits literally anyone, like most illiterate people also have a shot at JGLS, so IQ wise they are poor, all they have is money which is also black money, I have a lawyer friend from Jindal, he does not even how to use manupatra SCC. JGLS is like an antithesis of NUJS, NUJS is good but no campus, Jindal is no good and has one good thing which is campus.
Also, mnlu mumbai has a shot if they work hard enough.
rest all colleges, forget it.
If you want to transition to in-house, a decent experience on contracts is a pre-requisite. Stand-alone lit experience would mean that you get only pure lit roles in in-house teams or roles where you continue to draft responses etc - neither would be giving a clearer route to sr roles. Very large legal teams ask for specific lit experience but those roles are much lesser in number.
So, you should get some contract drafting experience if the target is an in-house role.
Curious because I have only heard of corporate lawyers being able to shift.
They have gamified the whole process where you can track your bill share/hours on a portal lol - not fun for mental health
Taking the top 120 or 200 from CLAT and teaching them is easier than taking on those who did not do well in CLAT. 80 out of 120 students getting placed in T1 NLUs is the same as 80 out of 800 in JGLS because all 120 in the NLU are CLAT toppers, whereas all of the 800 in JGLS are supposed to be useless rich brats!
I was mostly clueless whenever ▮▮▮ alloted me work.
Share the list of all the firms(T1 & T2) with locations and practice areas that are hiring for 2025-2026/27.
There is so much uncertainty about vacancies everywhere.
Any information will be a saviour for all of us. Thank you!
Code 1 : vfckbm
Code 2: cgn2mb
There's an NLUO fpl code (supernew) join or make your own uni thing code - 6e537g
Urgently pls sitting for Day Zero soon
truth be told I was lazy and did most of them in my final semester, and final year. I was lazy and Ik.
What do I do now where can I apply for an A0 directly in Mumbai, ideally paying atleast 65k idm doing an assessment first if they offer that but please help.
It's almost impossible to get a position without a serious level of connection in the good teams, and you cannot do your independent practice. But bringing the work to the firm gets you a 30% share of the total billing on that case; even if you leave the firm, the firm continues to pay.
The worst part of Karanjawala is the delays in salary; there is almost a 3-4 months delay prevailing for the Associates/Senior Associates, 6-7 months for Principal Associates and 8-9 months for Partners. So, effectively, you work for free for months without getting any remuneration for it.
Pgcl - good crowd, slightly better faculty, affordable, recognition not renewed ( can only register with bar council of Maharashtra)
Mamata is very useful to the BJP in Delhi. She keeps the INDIA alliance fractured and the Congress and Left weakened. If she is gone, then the Congress and Left gain in strength, which Modi and Shah do not want.
Coming to NUJS, what this means is that the SC judges will defer to the HC judges and Advocate General, instead of the other way round.
Right now, Kalyan’s camp is out of favour, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Kishore is sacked and Amitesh Banerjee, or even Sanjay himself, is made the new AG.
Hello everyone, I am writing this post with great hopes.
I recently (in last week of July) interviewed with ICICI Bank for an opening at NBCC Office. I received an email informing me that my profile has been shortlisted for further processing and post which HR even called the next day to upload the remaining documents. Should I be expecting an offer letter from ICICI, if yes, when can I expect to receive the same?
Kindly advise
Thanks and regards
