Yes- I was always someone with long thick hair due to my South Indian genes, but after becoming an associate my hair started thinning and now as a PA I have very scanty and poor quality hair. I try to take care whenever I can but when there is a lot of stress at work the hair start falling a lot. Not only the hair, I have seen massive weight gain over the years despite eating basic food mostly and skin has aged much more compared to my non lawyer friends. Dark circles become your best friend and no amount of make up can hide that tired worn out look.

The People Research on India's Consumer Economy (PRICE) defines a middle-income household in India as one earning between Rs. 5 lakh and Rs. 30 lakh annually, based on 2020-21 prices. These individuals typically belong to socio-cultural groups that enjoy economic stability with a low risk of falling into poverty or vulnerability. …

In an era of skyrocketing costs, the concept of middle class is becoming less about numbers and more about personal perception. What used to define someone as middle class—modest income, small house, and conservative spending—now appears less rigid, with families of ₹7 crore net worth living the life of humble citizens.

Hey,

I am currently a 4th year from a decent private college (obv. Not Jindal or Symb.). I love studying SEBI regulations and have a blast reading cases. I really want to work on that stuff. However, my college is based in Delhi. Ik that unless I move to Mumbai, this cant happen.

I'm looking for advice on how to proceed, where to apply, what to remember, anything would be appreciated really.

Let's admit it: there is a MASSIVE corporate job crisis in India at all levels and it INCLUDES LAW FIRMS. Modi is sleeping, Nirmala is busy taxing and the opposition is focusing on non-issues like Waqf and caste reservation.

Hey everyone. So, I am a non-nlu student, from a not so great college in Bangalore. I have tried my best to do a lot of internships in law firms, which include places like, K&S partners- IP (2 months), Kochhar and Co.- Corporate (1 month), Juris Arena- Corporate (1 month) and am about to intern at Naik Naik and Co. (1 month). I have a Best Memorial Award at Surana and Surana Moot Court Competition as well.

So, I wanted to work in the corporate transactions team in Naik Naik and Co., but i don't know if they'll keep me or not. I have talked with them for long term internship so they were like, you do one month and then if we see you fit, we'll think about it. Also, they have currently put me in disputes team but they have assured me that I can take work from other teams as well. So, I was just wondering, if they do keep me, what do you think my salary would be?

Anyone who is working there or knows about their work culture is free to share anything that they want. I would love any advice you guys can give me. Also, how is their practise in corporate law, especially transactions.

Tirthankar’s team is any day much professional and tolerable. You can, but for some ups and downs, perform at your best. No unnecessary micro management, no unnecessary and unreasonable timelines, decent seniors to work with, better work life balance. You don’t end up being an office furniture and are valued!

Hi, I was wondering if someone could please clarify how Vidhi notifies applicants about internship confirmations. Is the communication typically sent around a month before the internship start date, or is it made within a ‘reasonable period of time’ (as stated in the website) from the date of application? Any input would be tremendously helpful. Thank you!

Not from SRL and I’m absolutely sure they’re bluffing about their pay and whatnot. But the real bottom of the barrel people in this world are the ones judging the capability of lawyers based on which college they ended up in through the lottery of an exam called CLAT, and then based on their interest or disinterest in kissing ass and wasting time in college to get grades that don’t matter for shit.

I’m sure the bottom of the barrell folks you describe would wipe the floor with you.

1. The founder boasts about paying high salaries, but they fire people before the bonus is due. 2. Work from home policy depends on the mood of the partner unlike other firms which are professional and transparent about such things. 3. It's a small firm ▮▮▮. 4. Most freshers are not confirmed after probation ▮▮▮. Performance is determined based on the face time you get with the partner in internal discussions and not your hard work or skills. 5. Partner gives artificial urgent deadlines and doesn't review the work for weeks.

Hi, I’m from the 2026 batch (non-NLU, non Jindal/Symbi/GLC).

Really want to get a job in Capital Markets before graduating but honestly just feeling stuck.

I’ve done only one Tier-1 Cap Marks internship, did a course too (didn’t help much lol).
I’ve been applying everywhere - no replies, no updates, nothing. Don’t even have anything lined up for June yet.

Where should I even apply now?

Where will I have a chance of getting accepted?
What can I do in this one year to actually make it to a good Cap Marks firm?

Also, if anyone working in Capital Markets can refer me for an internship or knows someone hiring for B026, I’d be super grateful. Even if someone can just review my CV or tell me what I’m doing wrong, it’ll really help.

Pls help, just need some direction.

A hearing took place on 1 April under a new judge (Justice Sachin Dutta). The court said as follows:

1. In view of the Full Court Reference to bid farewell to Hon’ble Mr. Justice Chandra Dhari Singh, the present matter could not be taken up today.

2. List on 07.08.2025.

So 7 years completed. No substantial hearing.

If you were or are serious about M&A / Corproate, there are a thousand things you can do to stand out in the job market. Learn tax from CTC's very low-priced courses. You will also meet many folks in the field. It's a mistake to thing lawyers run M&A deals. It's the tax, investment bankers and management consultants who run the show. Lawyers are merely to document things. So engage with other stakeholders. You can do an PE/VC course, investment banking course, etc. They are all available from top universities on Coursera. Then meet CS and CA firms, they can be your first break and you will have a great addition to resume for firms.

The harsh reality is that for 1 job in law there are 10,000 candidates. Accept it and compete.

Being an PA in a T1, I've seen kids from Christ are hard working and sharp. They are sharper than many of the NLU kids I've seen interning including some of the associates who are working with us. I think it's the culture and I've seen not one but many interns, some of whom are also converted because of their honesty, discipline and hard work, are down to earth, ask questions, do their job and go home.

I gave my interview on the 10th of this month for KCO Chennai. Haven't heard from them yet. No reply to follow-up mail too. Someone told me that KCO replies immediately after interview if they want to confirm my internship. When did you get the confirmation?? Is there a chance that this delay denotes a rejection??

Hi,

I am a student at a mid-tier NLU and I wish to apply for a Master’s degree abroad, specifically in the UK. The only concern I have is that I’ve had three backlogs — two in the 4th semester and one in the 6th semester.

That said, I have a fairly strong profile overall: I’ve participated in and won various competitions and moots, interned at Tier-1 law firms as well as reputed chambers, completed a policy internship abroad, and published multiple blogs and papers.

My main concern is whether these backlogs will significantly affect my chances of getting into a good master’s program. As far as I know, my university transcript does not explicitly mention reappears or retests. Instead, it just updates the date of passing. For example, if I failed a 6th semester paper in 2024 but cleared it in 2025, then the entire 6th semester would be shown as passed in 2025 on my transcript — alongside the 8th semester, which I would also pass in 2025.

Could you please advise me on how this might impact my application? I am very tensed.

#Adolescence. The emojis 💯🧨💥💖💜

My main concern is people taking offence where none is intended.

What are everyone’s thoughts on the UK Supreme Court decision saying trans women are not women?

From what I understand, they basically said there are only two sexes and this is determined at birth. You are born either male or female and you can’t transition into either. This goes against the current views held by gender studies professors and human rights activists. They could have at least have held that there is a third sex and mandated third gender toilets like in India. It seems to be a conservative decision by conservative judges, aligning with views of right-wing figures like Trump, JK Rowling etc.

The team mostly handles employment work and is a good place to start. However, the team has recently seen too many exits at senior levels. Build your perception on that basis.

Also forget about work life balance in that team, most resources are stretched thin on most days and work insane hours.

Lol. The speak you spake doesn't speak to me. Please reconsider the spake you speak.

Peoples paying 50 Lakhs for University but no 500 Rupees for a hotel? What is this? Tomorrow you ask for a partner (ze/hir/hirs) in name of exercising your autonomy. What your think you? A dictator? You think University is 50 cent (a self proclaimed someone)?
