Will I benefit from the internship?
Ann input would be appreciated!!
The quality of the deals is down to the M&A teams present in the firm.
They are not generating their own deals. Competition teams rarely originate work.
Most deal lawyers would prefer more certainty from competition lawyers - rarely get it.
So for context, I'm an undergraduate student doing some humanities degree. But, I've always wanted to get through some form of corporate consulting. I'm about to enter my final year, and have been looking for resources/mentors who can guide me through the confusions of studying and applying(not used to government portals, dimag kharab ho rha h) through MHCET, CUET and NLSAT. I have 0 legal or general connections so I'm REALLY COUNTING on y'alls responses. Apna bhai samajh kar koi help kar do pls :p

Thus, the next VC appointment will see different players try to place their candidate. Some are loyal to Pishi, some to Bhaipo, some are loyal only to themselves and could switch to the BJP anytime. The students should definitely take advantage of the situation and push for a good NLU alum as a consensus candidate.
Fighting for accountability and transparency: โ
also, u can be #1 in table tennis, archery etc. yet nobody will care for u as much as people care for cricketers - it's not just about others caring, the money follows. u can see how much top table tennis/football players make in front of cricketers. im sure sunil chetri works just as hard as virat kohli but we know who is more imp in today's world
so is life just luck? im feeling incredibly demotivated after realising that even if i become #1 in the profession, not a lot of people will know me like they know even rishab pant, forget virat kohli
Please start with the schedule to the Indian stamp act, as applicable in Karnataka. This will give you the amount payable for the instrument.
For demat - the amount is the same - however it's payable to nsdl/csdl/stock exchange. Read the collection rules + section 9 of the Indian stamp act.
1. A middle class kid and a nepo kid can be of the same intellectual strength (after all, brains are not so much designed based on privilege as biology). Of course, very often you will find two kids - one middle class, one nepo - where the former is a lot smarter than the latter. You might also find the other way around (I wouldn't know, as I personally haven't seen the other extreme). Regardless of that, my experience is that middle class kids often have more initiative and a higher drive to make the most of the opportunities given to them, whereas nepo kids are more likely to become relaxed and think everything will become okay, once they achieve the baseline. For example, I know a kid in my uni who is from a deprived (in the UK context) part of London. He and I often study together. He is so visserally thankful to our uni (despite being very smart indeed and having achieved a tripple A* at A Levels) for giving him the opportunity to do law there, that that gratitude sometimes drives him to do (what might seem like) really crazy things, like staying up all night to do the additional readings that the professors give us as a topup to the essential stuff. Obviously, everyone with any sense knows that doing above average in the exams requires you to do some additional readings, but nobody is as committed as this chap - if your average weekly reading list contains five essential and five additional readings most of the time, the week this guy does four out of the five additional readings will be a once in a blue moon occasion. The logic behind this is that despite being British and everything, a Russell Group education was like a fantastic dream for this guy, and he'd rather torture himself into sickness doing extra work and find that it is a reality that he has this education, than not make the most and find it really is a dream.
2. Received wisdom in elite circles in India, which I have experienced, and in the UK (based on certain opinion columns I have read in the London Times) would have us believe that to be successful, we should surround ourselves with other elite, rich, successful people. The correctness (or otherwise) of that, I don't know. However, what I do know is that it is very important for us rich people to have middle class contacts and connections like my friend, described above.
3. You are right from a finance perspective, but not necessarily in other ways. The Amity kids paying independent tuition (and trust me, there are some of those) are not at all smart people, and add little to these unis' reputation or name (among other things, because they tend not to do very well in their studies anyway). I hardly know of any who end up staying back abroad once they are done with their studies, so TBH they can be a bit of a liability for the type of unis you are thinking about.
4. As for what you said about qualified teachers in the IB schools, again yes and no. For example, my economics teacher in 11th and 12th was an engineer with an MBA under the belt, meaning my friend who went to study Economics as an undergraduate in Toronto will have had three more years of economics education at university than her high school economics teacher! At the same time, my English teacher had a BsC in Microbiology from India, and a second bachelor's, followed with a master's, both in English literature, both done in the U.S.

EXETER COLLEGE, OXFORD
The Dr Mrs Ambriti Salve Scholarship
Following a generous gift made by Mr Harish Salve, a Friend of Exeter College, the College seeks to elect a Salve Scholar from among candidates who are ordinarily resident in India and who have an offer of admission to Oxford University and a place at Exeter College to read for the BCL degree in Law.
Where a suitable candidate is identified, the Scholarship will be awarded in conjunction with an Oxford University Clarendon Fund award, and together these awards will fund the Course Fees, and a stipend to cover living expenses. Otherwise, it may be awarded as a standalone Scholarship, in which case its value will reflect the Course Fees and a stipend for living expenses up to that of the UKRI minimum stipend level (for 2022-2023 this was ยฃ17,668).
The Scholarship is for the one-year BCL degree in the first instance. However, should the Scholar be offered, and accept, a place on the MPhil in Law course having excelled on the BCL course, a further yearโs funding may be made available.
Candidates must be applicants to the University of Oxford for admission to the BCL degree in Law and should apply for any other University Scholarship for which they are eligible. The successful candidate must become a member of Exeter College and commit to remaining at Exeter College for the duration of their BCL degree, and for the MPhil in Law if they progress to that degree.
How to apply
There is no separate application process for this Scholarship; you simply need to apply for your graduate course by the relevant January deadline.
We will consider all eligible applicants to Oxford for this Scholarship, regardless of whether or not you state Exeter College as your preferred College on your graduate application form. If we offer you this Scholarship we will also offer you a place at Exeter College, which will take the place of any earlier College offer you may have.

Are the scholarships awarded randomly? Or is having contacts with Mr. Salve (or Mr. Sarosh Zaiwalla) necessary? Do they have a say at all?
Does anyone have any idea about this?
Same logic.
TD team, any day. A professional and reasonable environment compared to non TD camp.
Pay
Depends upon your level. On an average, the pay is 60-70% of Tier 1 at all levels.
Kinds of matter
Both team take up hardcore NCD matters and structured financing matter.
Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Law is demanding because you are easily replaceable- the work is repetitive after a point, there is barely anything that can be categorised as true innovation, and when there are tons of ppl ready to replace you, the only way to prove your worth is to squeeze more work in the great equaliser of 24 hrs. Then starts the toxicity cycle
This is not the case in non-law workplaces, especially in case of a software engineer.
The biggest advantage is the ability to move countries, something we rarely get to do.
pls drop mt kario, you'll regret later, you in the country's top law college, trust me things will get better in some time, focus on your skill development, study hard, do internships and extracurricular activities and get a job once you'll graduate, after you have become independent there is no need to keep ties with your parents either, trust me I have been in the same boat, hence speaking from experience. Remember career is more imp than relationships.
best of luck.
You need to be able to support yourself if you leave NALSAR.
You have to be smart about your life decisions.
See a counsellor or psychologist. Do CBT and try to learn some tools to cope with your mental health.
Life isn't easy. University isn't easy. Most things in life are challenging. Try to learn to cope and develop grit. That is how you will succeed.
"privilege" is not an argument against everything. For this guy/ girl to have a problem, they don't need to be as poor as to not afford two square meals.
Someone spent their hard earned money, and they equally have a case for concern. They are not as privileged to afford not being selected as a judge, unlike others who have forefathers in the profession.
Just because there are other arguments doesn't make someone's subjective experience bogus. Grow up.
if you have generational wealth you may consider shifting to private practice
if you have none of the above you may move to in-house for more stable work hours
been on the same boat, chose one of the options above
None of the descriptors you listed are the source of happiness, and are pure luck. Ultimately, if I have more peace of mind than the three men you listed, I win (not that it is a competition).
