Here's the video clip of the defence lawyer saying this (in Bengali).

I have worked as a Trainee associate at CAM. They were to confirm me as a regular associate post probation. While my probation period (of 6 months) ended and I received my confirmation from the HR of successful completion of probation, the HR took more than a year in categorising me as a regular associate. This made me lose my seniority by a year. When you discuss with them, put everything on an email and have the HR confirm it. Make sure you get on par with regular associates once your probation as a trainee associate ends.

Hey. If you’re an associate at a no name firm with good experience. Take the CAM offer.

You are definitely get lowballed at CAM. But that stamp of approval on your CV might open up doors for you.

You already have the skills, now you need a nice name on your CV that will help boost your profile. If you don’t like it, leave the job after 6 months and switch somewhere else.

All the best!

For those on LI who insist that Mumbai is the best city and that Ahmedabad cannot become the second financial capital and rival it.

For those outside Bengal who don’t know, there are two camps in the TMC and this will play out in the NUJS VC appointment as well. On the one hand, Sanjay Basu belongs to the bhaipo (Abhishek) camp. On the other hand, Kalyan Bandopadhyay and his former junior Kishore Datta belong to the pishi (Mamata) camp.

NKC has smartly invited people from both camps on the governing body, ensuring his longevity. After him, the “ideal” VC candidate will be someone who has the blessings of both camps. I personally think a VC from the minority community has a strong chance and will receive the approval of both camps, because the Muslim vote is crucial to the electoral fortunes of both camps. We are 8-9 months away from the next assembly elections

Hi guys. Really need a bit of clarity. Im in my third year. Essentially my CV is pretty good extracurricular wise. I've done moot courts, MUNs, debates, research papers etc. The only problem is, in my first year my grades were horrible. My dad passed away and I had to go back and forth managing his property work. I got to rewrite all of the exams in first year, but the new grades show up on my CV with an asterisk. How will this affect my chances of placements when I graduate will law colleges and internships look at that small asterisk in my CV. The new grades are pretty good tbf my new CGPA is a 7.4 out of 8. Please advise I don't know who else to ask

You can easily start reading on interesting matters of law. There are literally hundreds of books available online. Don't wait to be spoon fed at the university, then you'll be in for a nasty surprise as majority of your teachers have got no idea how the legal profession really works.

First off. Tier system is not an official system. It's a made up mumbo-jumbo to get aspirants excited. If you look at the consortium list, the chronology is always "year of establishment" wise. This makes sense since the newest NLU would be lacking in even basic facilities like their own campus.

Second, the tier system is absolutely not based on faculty. All NLUs have great professors, mid and really bad professors; including tier 1s. If we were basing tiers on star power than Jindal has the most legends, yet we know how it's not comparable to a tier 1.

Third, city does not matter, otherwise Mumbai would have immediately shot up in the rankings.

Fourth, NLUs were established to provide, surprise~surprise, better litigators and judges. They were supposed to be the beacon of the best legal education. The founder of this concept was more a fan of litigation and not corporate slavery. However this whole concept was overtaken by corporate stooges, and became a full on D measuring contest of placements.

Lastly, law is a "professional" degree. Just like you don't ask a doctor about "placements", that used to be the same with lawyers. However, this placement mentality of b.tech and MBA jobs seeped into law.

This is where the harsh reality steps in, people enter NLUs thinking they would earn more or the same as a btech grad, which is not the case and never will be. So they get disappointed. The only place this may happen is if you litigate, where earning crores is easy. However, NLU kids spend so much, that they don't want to spend the next 5 more years in court earning peanuts, so they hardly join litigation.

TL;dr - Corporate/Law firm placements define tiers.

Something I would like to add is that, perceptions of merit change. This change is quite perceptible when you look at the rankings every 5 or 6 years, as in that time changes occur. However as CLAT becomes ever more popular, I do think we'll see perceptions being soldified slowly. NUJS, HNLU, and MNLU Nagpur are a few unis who've had changes in their fortunes that are well known. In fact, there was a time, when HNLU was considered better than GNLU. That has long passed since, and we all know what the situation is now.

I recently graduated from Mumbai University, and I have realised how bad is the behaviour against people from non NLU colleges or colleges with big name. I don't even want a fancy corporate job I just want to work so that I do not become a disappointment for my parents and do not waste my life. Being a girl anyways my parents weren't in favour of me doing law but I did. If anyone has any leads please help me. I have worked in two litigation firms. I have extensive experience in court proceedings such as efillings. I have good knowledge of testamentary laws, civil laws and family laws. I am based in Mumbai and I cannot move. I am willing to work provided a basic salary is given.

PS note: I am already embarrassed, please don't demotivate

Those who are working with capital Market team at law firms, you guys would already get all the updates and public announcement before release for vetting.. if there are rights issue or FPO, these publications can help you guys to further your portfolio.

Can you tell us if it's actually possible and feasible for someone to take to ground and burn PIT regulations by working in capital market team or is there a periodical disclosure even you guys are required to submit to firm, which ensures that there's no advantage to you guys.

Basically, in general does being in capital markets help with your trading skills & portfolio?

Pathetic attempt to inflate figures? The placement report gives a breakdown of all 50 placements. 30 for law firms, 13 for corporate in house, 2 for litigation chambers, and 5 for other organizations. Coming down to 50. The assessment internship and LLMs are merely additional data for the readers. Not to mention that since the publication of the report, several other students have received offers from firms, companies and litigation chambers. Check your own facts before asking others, buddy!

Bahajaja....NLU and their glorified little bubble.

NLU politics is like little kids with egos playing I'm better than you pity party. Real University politics dekhna hai toh go to DU, JNU or BHU. That's what real politics is. They have national parties investing money in their elections, here even state political branches don't invest money or time in NLU politics.

Also, like other things, most political ideologies in NLUs are just "trends". They have no loyalty. They term themselves liberal and LW and then beg for corporate placements and become extremely RWs where they lick their corporate overlords boots.
