I can say faculty have no role in assisting for placement. Few of them can help you with internship but if you in their good eyes
▮▮▮the so called placement office ▮▮▮
Won't recommend anyone joining
Who wants to take package through college assistance when you get 2.5 to 4 lakh when you have paid 35 lakhs including hostel.
You are not able to get any good law firms to your college.
So ▮▮▮
There are lot of problems in this university
Faculty are good supportive, college staf everything is good except it is cheap and placement cell. Even if you are in top 10 student cgpa wise don't get confidence that I will be placed
Which other profession offers that much money?
I want to make it big in law. I do not mind the work hours and my only point in life is to make it big, professionally and financially. To see my parents live the life they wished I would live in. To give them all they wanted but avoided for me and my sister.
I am now confused though. Have there been T1 partners who have made it big from such backgrounds. I mean I come from a family which has been big on education as that is all we have. I see a lot of associates from family like me, a lot many from higher better families too. I know there is a level of advantage to latter but I want to hear that this advantage is not the only thing. That I can make a pattern without say knowing how will I bring business to the firm. Would that happen with my profesional connections? How? My veins need to know, I just need to know so that I start preparing, I will give it my all. I will.
They are just not the majority.
Best campus in all T1s
Chill parties
Sports scene is sex
Your are pretty much all set for T1 firms long as you do the bare minimum (minimum not as in just barely pass at bottom of the class, but bare minimum as an active student). CRITICAL: Take help from seniors
CONS
May take some time getting used to the academic rigour
You might face elitism/discrimination/whatever -ism or -tion if you are not general category
There have been one or two (rumoured) incidents of roofies being used at parties during past years so be careful
I have now recieved an offer from a boutique corporate firm in Mumbai
My permanent address and details are from rohtak as we belong from there
I am confused about bar registation now - do I enroll in Delhi or P&H or Bombay HC, is Bombay HC some extra beneficial given I will be in corporate practice. What could enrolment in Bombay HC give benefits of.
If Mumbai or Delhi enrolment then what do you suggest how do I enroll as my permanent address is different. Rent agreement?
Finally, about AIBE will it make any difference from where I get state enrolment. And can I give AIBE without state enrolment.
Please be kind I know I am asking stupid questions. I am clueless and do not have many seniors to get help on. I will really appreciate helpful responses. Regards.
2. Second, learn how to do research. Some of what you are asking about is bound to be available on the NLUD website or via the NLUD hostel rulebooks.
3. If you don't get the answers to your questions, go on LinkedIn (create an account if you don't already have one), connect with your seniors and ask them that way.
4. Only then, if neither 2 nor 3 works, should you come to Legally India.
5. Keep in mind that Legally India is full of trolls, who will jump at any opportunity to make fun of all law schools but their own. That might mean people from other unis may give you bullshit information which doesn't reflect what goes on at NLUD.
1. 1.How many students are accommodated in a single room (first year and in later years, if it changes)?
2. 2.What are the general amenities provided in the rooms?
3. 3.Are students allowed to install or use personal appliances like air conditioners or coolers?
I think this approach is just bogus. The guy BO’26 from my college, who got our first PPO from a Tier 1 has done exactly 0 moots and ADRs. One should not devote extensive amount of time on these competitions to navigate a career in corp law since the very job of a corp lawyer is to not let the matters go in court. Instead research more about your practice area and have reputable publications. Every law firm has its research corner, none of them really care about moots. Preach.
Extremely anxious about everything, heard I’ll have to give up all my weekends as well
Feeling extremely scared, don’t know what to do. Any suggestions, tips will be helpful
Can I expect GNLU/NLIU this year?
OP, please look up MTI (mother tongue influence) on the internet and see if that is what you are worried about? If yes, there may be material to read and videos to watch on how to address that.
As unfortunate as it may be, there is an unconscious negative bias against lawyers whose spoken English sounds different from the majority of the speakers. While at times, this is not expressed openly, this is evident from the low number of people with a strong MTI at senior levels in large firms.
Hope this helps. All the best with everything.
Sincerely,
A Porsche owning partner who started off with a second hand Toyota.
That being said, I'm neither a conspiracy theorist nor a troll. And your comment fails to offer a little more than ad hominem attacks which the admin has censored before I could see what it was.
There is no apparent reason to blindly believe TOI, however. Believe it why? Because it's TOI? That's the logical fallacy of appeal to authority - no need to elaborate any further here.
However, I would like to highlight at this juncture that the point you raised has been addressed in my comment already. Read the third-from-the-last paragraph, starting with "then the entire episode concerning absence of an AOR..." in my comment. It's there, my learned friend. Then read the paragraph succeeding that. A lot of lawyers were pissed not because of what the order contained, but the manner in which the proceedings took place.
Again, to you & to other readers of LI - feel free to correct me or add any information that I have missed out. But relying upon TOI reports for what happened in courts, for matters which are anyway well known? We can do better.

Need to hire an AFFORDABLE counsel for a civil matter at City Civil Court Dindoshi.
Any leads?
but from your style of writing, what is a seamless partner? that word is usually used for clothes/ innerwear.
I’d try to tell them multiple times that Law is what i wanted to do. They’ve finally accepted it. But from what i’ve seen, people start law by the age of 18 or 19. Am I too late? I don’t want to stand out or anything like that. I’ll probably be 25 -26 when i graduate and that doesn’t bother me a bit.
Is there anyone here that started law school at 20? or even older? Is it something common?
