+ You want to learn IP, then do it in a small firm. Understand the basic procedures of prosecution and opposition first. Then choose big firms for internship

1. Why has the Delhi Bar not protested against him?
2. What's up with the Calcutta bar - the president of the HCBA says he would not like to boycott the swearing in ceremony?
The reason for this is that most of the IITs, except for Kharagpur, don’t have a dedicated law department. You will have to enroll in humanities or social science PhD which may be interdisciplinary.
So if you want to do doctrinal research try for NLUs. If you want to learn other tools and research methods then do it from interdisciplinary places like IITs, JNU, TISS etc.
Who is this imbecile law student that Kian handed over the keys to…
In the absence of information relevant to working professionals, this website will be reduced to a message board for students with no professionals to respond to their queries. I mean, we’re 80% there anyhow but keep up with these moderation standards if you want to make it a 100%.
AM - he’s the practice head. Nice guy.
PK - new EP. Peaceful guy.
SM - a thread is there on LI.
The body of the departed soul was placed at the university around 3:30 PM on Thursday (classes were suspended for the afternoon) for students to pay their respects, yet the university authorities ▮▮▮ dismissed the students request to suspend classes for the next day since many of them were in huge distraught with the sudden passing of one of their batchmates. Classes were resumed the very next morning at 9 AM, completely ignoring the emotional grief of the students.
Once again, the university has made it crystal clear that holding classes is far more important ▮▮▮. It is high time that serious attention be paid to the mental health of the student community, rather than treating it with ignorance.
I would be really grateful if someone could just let me know how I can secure some good internships.
Always remember: Jaan hai, toh jahaan hai.
Your question is if ‘any’ student was placed, not if ‘every’ student was. The answer to the former question is yes. People have got law firm jobs and PSUs. Others have gotten admission for higher studies. Others are still looking, presumably.
The 3 year LLB is not for Corp jobs tbh. They don't have a course in IP, they study important subjects like Tax and Labour laws after their Day Zero so they fail to compete with their 5-year LLB counterparts. Sudhir did force the firms to shortlist students from 3-year LLB but most of them got rejected after group discussion or interview.
I am new to the city and looking for socializing avenues. Anything other than getting drinks, I guess.
Where is the pickleball gang hanging usually? Is there a WhatsApp group or something?
1. I don't know how to build my CV, and just need guidance to get into IP/TMT.
2. I've somehow figured out that that's my cup of tea. But there is again one confusion—whether to go for IP or TMT or both.
Please, please help me out on how to plan my internships. I just need a job in my hand after 2 years. I'm willing to work 18 hours a day, willing to work my ass off even to build my CV or Internships. But I just need genuine guidance.
3. I HAVE 8 INTERNSHIP BREAKS LEFT. How should I plan them?
4. What do I need to get into a Tier-2 or a decent law firm team? How many internships? How many publications?
If someone out there can please help me, I’ll be extremely grateful. Thanks a lotttt!!
2. Am currently not looking for a girlfriend and have not ever experienced a romantic relationship. To quote John Oliver, that was because of 'circumstance' for him, and so is it for me. Am not in any hurry either to experience such a thing.
3. Not very rich ATM, but I suppose I just crack on as best I can and try to get richer by day after day of honest, hard work.
4. Being tall can be a bloody nuisance for a blind person. For one thing, the white cane that one uses as a mobility aid to scan the path around one while walking must be that much longer. The standard 52-inch Ambutech beauty just wouldn't do. Plus, I have lived both in India and England. Knew a very tall bloke out there who was blind, but got around pretty independently because England's streets and transport system are more accessible than ours. However, despite being as skilled and confident as him at navigating places independently, I always got asked (by staff on the underground in London, for example, or by members of the public) if I needed help while this chap never got offered help and actually struggled when he needed help. There are expert professionals called Rehabilitation Officers in the UK, whose job it is to teach blind people the skills to lead an independent life. One of these skills is called Orientation and Mobility (O&M). I once asked an O&M instructor who knew both me and this tall blind guy about this disparity in our experiences (me getting offered help too much and he not at all). Her response was that sighted people (i.e., people who can see) in the UK tend to see taller people (men, especially) as being more self-sufficient and able to take care of themselves (and if the sighted person is shorter, then intimidating as well, on occasion). If that's the sort of rediculous crap I have to deal with for being tall, then no thanks. Would rather stick to being just under 6FT, as I am now. Whether I live in India or somewhere else, even if I can manage a lot of things on my own, there are occasions when I need help. I have enough struggles in life as it is, difficulty getting help when I require it, I just don't need.
Chances are you don’t look like Henry Cavill. You don’t have Ambani money. You’re not towering over the masses like Aditya Roy Kapur.
So what makes you happy?
Here’s the thing—happiness isn’t in the jawline, the bank balance, or the extra inches (height-wise, you degenerates). It’s in the moments. The first sip of whiskey after a brutal day. That perfectly timed comeback that shuts the room up. The way she laughs when she thinks no one’s watching.
It’s in knowing that even though you’re not a billionaire, you still get to call the shots in your own life. Maybe your suit isn’t custom-tailored, but it still fits just fine. Maybe you’re not a Hollywood heartthrob, but you’ve got your own kind of charm. Maybe, just maybe, happiness is in realizing that you don’t need to be them to be you.
And you? You’re pretty damn alright.
One of the reasons why i left was the pay even though the work and the people are good
PQE 1- 75k
PQE 2- 85k
It won't increase as fast as a law firm though
