NUJS has also declined because of a corrupt admin and corrupt state govt, so not singling out NLIU.
Genuine and constructive criticism is not trolling!
As an A0 got the full amount.
So all you naysayers…. Go lick your wounds.
My PA got a 200% bonus.
SAM said its package is 20 LPA. Understandable it is on pro rata basis & depends on recovery.
The highest ones who joined in July last week could get is 2.7 L. However, heard that people have gotten higher - as high as 3 L. Is this true?
I am an experienced advocate with 3 years of experience in corporate and insolvency litigation leaching before NCLT and NCLAT. I also posses professional qualifications in CS, CMA and equipped with a LLM in International tax from Kings College London.
I would like to work with an advocate who practises both tax (be it direct or indirect tax) and corporate litigation before NCLT. However, I have not been fruitful in finding the right match, the advocates who practises both the aforementioned domains are senior counsels who practises almost all domain of laws, whereas i am only interested in tax, corporate and insolvency or there are only tax counsels.
So I am caught in quite a predicament, although it’s worth mentioning that I haven’t practised tax law at all but my professional qualifications and skills have enchanted my knowledge in tax. Further, I have always been fascinated with tax but I got a good opportunity to work at a good office before NCLT and NCLAT, so that’s the reason why I want to practise both tax and NCLT work and I don’t want to leave them out.
Thereby, with all that being said, who is the appropriate advocate to work under
1. NLS
2. NALSAR
3. NUJS
4. NLUD
5. NLUJ
6. HNLU
7. NLIU
8. HNLU
9. NLUO
10. MNLU-M
These are the only colleges where you can make it to corporate and t-1 law firms if you work enough.
If you really want the NLU tag (minus the jobs) you can consider:
11. RGNUL
12. NUALS
13. RMLNLU
Don't go beyond this. You can consider JGLS/ Symbiosis Pune/ GLC after the top 10 NLUs. If money is a problem then after RMLNLU you can start considering the private ones.
Internships are very different from actually working as an Associate. The stakes are much higher and there is lesser room for scope. I think you are bring taught everything because you cannot afford to make as many mistakes.
Look at the bright side - you didn’t know shit about law, until you were taught about it in law school. Here, you also have external help in the form of your seniors.
Just try to not make the same mistakes twice, double check the work you submit and you will be good to go.
Remember, your partner is much more experienced than you. He knows it takes time to learn this work, but he’ll judge you based on how well you implement what you’ve been taught.
Good luck! You don’t have to impress in just a couple of days - you don’t have to rush it. In the end, good impressions that last are built over time. :)
but they say the policy changes every year. what was it like in the year you/ someone uk went to NLS

Not only #4 nationally overall, but also in employability. Thanks so much!
If no, start applying for jobs in any area - preferably corporate roles.
You can read a book - Breaking the habit of being yourself. Try cutting out junk food for a bit completely and instead consume fruits, cold food items, fresh food items - they matter more than people think on improving our overall wellbeing.
However, being surrounded by dull-a**__les can bring anyone down(Work or home doesn't matter)
Totally switch up the kind of content you consume.
When people try to connect with you, via message or a simple greeting, let them connect with you. These little things matter and help.
This is general advice, i am definitely not a partner at a law firm but I understand you.
