2) Ask questions and then ask more questions.
3) Ask people to teach you, see them edit your drafts and learn.
4) Follow up with seniors

I have mostly worked in DR teams, but am open to working in other teams too, if available. Thanks in advance!
Is there any disputes team that deals with international commercial arbitrations, among other things, in Delhi. I am looking to join a team that handles arbitration disputes instead of energy, real estate, etc. disputes.
Thankss
We students truly want to change this perception and uplift the standard of our NLU. But what can we realistically do from our end? How can we, as students, contribute to improving our university’s standing and push it towards becoming a tier 2 NLU? Seniors and alumni, your guidance would mean a lot.
Thats not what it is today. Today teaching is- a test for you- go and prove to students who couldnt be bothered to do the reading everyday that you know what youre talking about after years of study. Because they might plagiarise their tests but they still get to sit in judgment over you because theyre paying customers. They might have a panic attack at being told to read a twenty page paper but they know they are smart and virtuous from social media and no adults in their entire life has had the courage or honesty to tell them they might have scope for self improvement. Go and prove you can speak for extended stretches of time without any indication that anyone is listening or even cares. Go and prove you can remain chipper and enthusiastic even when students are lost in their phone. That you lack the self respect to even be annoyed when only one student in a hundred is even engaged- after all, that one student is engaged- what else do you want? Go and prove that you dont take yourself seriously enough to even say anything when you ask students questions in class and they come back to you with chatgpt answers. Go and prove that you can dance around the political minefields, because while they might not listen to you teaching labour law or criminal procedure, they will be sure to record you the second you say anything they disagree with whether its politics or whether its simply "you guys need to work harder". Go and prove that you are malleable enough to play the game, fudge attendance, fudge grades, create assignments that a monkey could pass- anything at all to get good evaluation scores so you get a bare minimum cost of living raise and so you dont stand out when all your colleagues also play the game marking yourself out to be some sort of easy target. Prove your worth to university by organising events and doing administrative work because you arent hired for your knowledge of the law- youre just a worker in big corporate firm and students want to say they belong to a university where there are all of these frills. Go and prove your worth to university by "getting jobs and internships" for students by leveraging your contacts instead of the students just earning what they get on their own. They are customers and its your job to give them what they want. Because if you don't their parents will call your boss/ the registrar or VC and you will lose your job because you are some how the one who has failed. Honestly why would someone want this job when its turned into this?
I gave up other opportunities to spend a decade trying to make it work in academia. It has only gotten worse and worse over time. Do yourself a favour and know that youre not getting what you think you are. If you must do academia, then do yourself a favour and stick to public universities. I have yet to encounter a private university that was not 100% depressing.
I already knew theres no transparency in how SC handles this recruitment but didnt think it will be so blatant to disregard the merit list altogether. I have negligible hopes from this but the optimist in me would like to believe that the SC had just faced some delay and its not just me who hasnt received any interview.
