When Sir Humphrey Appleby (?) makes that joke that goes, "Government needs to support the universities. Both of them", of course, he refers to Oxford and Cambridge in the sense that Oxford and Cambridge are the only two true universities in Britain. I frankly think that those of us who agree with his mentality should bring it more unapologetically to the context of the Indian law universities (especially regarding NLS). If we do that, we are, among other things, giving women the respect that they deserve.

I want to yall to tell me-

The key question is whether Justice Dipankar Datta will be the Chancellorโs nominee โ in which case, he may veto an unqualified candidate (as he is not TMC-aligned) or choose to wash his hands off the matter. Which will it be?
To the VC,
In furtherance of the concerns raised by the SBC, we, the undersigned students of the Batch of 2025, write this email to express our disapproval of the administration hosting the Convocation at such short notice. This is nothing but insensitive and will exclude students from weaker economic backgrounds from participating in such an important event in their lives.
The administration should take cognizance of the fact that such short notice will cause extreme economic duress to families. On average, the following expenses will fall on each student-
1. Last Moment flight tickets for parents and students coming to Hyderabad- (8000 average)- 24000 INR
2. Last-Moment flight tickets for parents and students returning from Hyderabad- 24000 INR
3. Cab Charges- 10000 INR
4. Accommodation Charges for one night stay- 4000 INR
5. Food and other Miscellaneous Expenses- 5000 INR
Total- 67000 INR
We hope the administration realizes that arranging a sum of โน70,000 within just 10 days is a significant challenge for many Indian families. This short notice, unfortunately, makes the process feel exclusionary and risks preventing some of our loved ones from being part of one of the most meaningful milestones in our lives. Further, with the dates clashing with peak monsoon season, there is a high probability of their flights being cancelled altogether. It is disheartening to think that their years of unwavering support and sacrifice might go unacknowledged at a moment meant to celebrate all of our journeys together.
Thus, we hope for the administration to either change the dates for paying for our expenses.
We do understand that the administration may cite the dates shared by the Honโble Chief Justiceโs office as a constraint. However, we emphasize that Convocation is meant to honour the achievements of the students and their collective efforts, not merely accommodate the schedule of the Chief Guest. The essence of the occasion lies in the inclusion of those who undertook the journey, as well as those who made our journey possible. While we are honoured by the presence of a distinguished guest, we believe the essence of the event must not be compromised.
Hence, we request the administration to engage with the Chief Guestโs office to explore a feasible rescheduling so that this event remains a celebration for all, not a privilege for a few.
Thank you guys!

The pattern I am noticing is that they rather prefer fresh associates without any experience as they can do both register work and research, drafting "in the same salary". In my humble opinion, the reasons are: 1) you are getting a researcher drafter and clerk in the same salary. 2) a fresh student is usually more sincere and hard-working.
While some think that this is a good thing, if not today, tomorrow that associate will have his own practice, and this experience will help him. But the sad side appears when you come to know that he's doing nothing but registry work, he is drafting some applications here and there and doing some basic research.
If you know, register work, it's good, you should, but if you ONLY do registry work, it's sad and bad for the future.
Let's accept this fact that associates join chambers not to earn money, but to learn the court art. Sadly, they have been reduced to clerks.
Does anyone know if they have any spots for PPOs? Any tips for someone allotted this team at their first Tier 1 internship?

this is a gray area as far as I know, a strict reading of the advocates act would the power of BCI to qualifying law degree only (which is the LLB), however, a wider reading may bring in anything to do with legal education (including PhD, lld etc.) under the domain of BCI.
