Its apparent with all the complaints of toxicity at the workplace that people skills are rare - this reflects in the bringing in of business as well.
My office would either be in lower parel or nariman point.
Thanks!
Now leaving campus without permission until a said hour makes sense because at the end of the day you are in a random small town in Haryana, I would not want to go out at night at all. Plus Jindal has had many tragedies like the car accident, and the rape case and the very aspect that it can happen justifies these calls.
Guys be grateful. Sex is great but the uni is not going to help you have it.
While I agree that there are a lot of people who earn way less than 6lpa and survive in Mumbai, there is no doubt that it is still a hard way to live.
I am an associate who earns 6lpa right now, and here’s a break-down for anyone who is interested:
Renting:
A 2bhk flat in a location like Andheri (flat condition being suitable) costs a total of around 60-70k (you can get cheaper flats in the range of 50-60k for sure, but the conditions of those be a heavy compromise)
So, even taking a lower estimate of 60k, and say you share it with 3 other people (which is sometimes a problem in itself), your rent would come out to be 15k.
Food:
This is major consideration and you end up spending more than you think. Cooks take a minimum of 2k per person (monthly) for cooking one meal a day, however if you want two meals, they settle around 3-3.5k per person (monthly).
Lets assume you settle for the one meal option, that 2k, then you add groceries, which would be around 2-2.5k per person. So that’s a total of 4.5k.
For your other meal, you can get a tiffin service for lunch or step down from your office to eat, either will cost you a minimum of 3k a month.
So food comes to a total of 7.5k. (don’t hate me, its just my experience)
Utilities:
Electricity, gas (lucky if you get a pipeline connection), wifi, other stuff you may require for functioning (soap etc.) amounts to yet another of 3k a month, its better to assume that it would be around 4-5k depending on your actual expenses (electricity bills are way higher in summers/monsoons)
So for utilities, it’s a total of 4k.
Transport:
Locals, metros are cheap, and so are autos and cabs (if you have to take for short distances or sharing basis).
A fair total for your transport needs would be 2k.
That’s your basic survival stuff accounted for, which comes to a total of 15k+7.5k+4k+2k = 28.5k
That’s the bare minimum, and sadly I have never achieved that. My expenses (minus the money spent on fun stuff) has always been around 32-34k, because you always end up needing to spend on one thing or the other.
Even so, getting 45k in hand, and limiting your expenses to 32-34k leaves you with a solid 11-13k in hand for saving, or spending (your choice)
Conclusion:
6lpa is a good base to survive, but as you grow, so do your expenses (remember that 32-34k figure I gave, its 44-45k now for me). So while you’ll be fine with 45k initially, you’ll soon want another 15-20k, but that’s all up to you. I have less, and that makes me want to push for more rather than tone down my lifestyle and investments, but some may tone down their lifestyles and save more.
P.S.
If you share a room, you’ll want your own space, which means your own room, which means double the rent.
Can you get a job by converting an Internship? Yes.
Will NMIMS get you tier-1 Internships? A decent few through campus.
Most will come down to if you have enough connections to get a few internships to pad your cv for when these placement cells internships come because they are not as vast in number as an NLU.
Article 37 states that > The provisions contained in this Part shall not be enforceable by any court, but the principles therein laid down are nevertheless fundamental in the governance of the country and it shall be the duty of the State to apply these principles in making laws.
Is this supposed to be a merely declaratory principle such as the universal declaration of human rights ? Or can the courts enforce this part on the soft side (i.e requiring the parliament and the executive to discuss and review enforcement of this part of the constitution)

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.
the a0 pay does not include half the year in computing your bonus (since it's a probation period), and the a1 pay is the same band as your a0 pay, just this time you will actually receive a full year's bonus.

The partners are quite nice, and the pay, from what I have heard, is 12 (fixed). The biggest downsides of the firm are its limited access to resources (even the most basic like SCCOnline, they have Manupatra though) and perhaps its coffee.
All rainmakers seem to have left - must be a big hit on revenue and profit post Piyush, Jay, Suri, Nishant and Karan - to my mind, 40-50 crores of revenue gone between these people?
