Can only talk about the LLM: The LL.M. curriculum at SAU has innovative courses such as Comparative Constitutional Law of South Asian countries, which are rarely found in other law programs.

Additionally, our faculty consists of highly qualified professors with extensive research experience, and are frankly very approachable, plus we benefit by having a student/prof ratio of about 1:6.

The university has recently moved to its permanent campus in Maidan Garhi, South Delhi, offering modern infrastructure and upgraded facilities. While these improvements enhance the academic experience, the campus amenities are not yet on par with those of premier institutions like Jindal or NLSIU.

Overall, a good option if you don't get admission abroad, or in like NLSIU or something.

1. Your senior

2. Designated Seniors

3. Really old seniors

4. (Optional) seniors you otherwise know

1-4 is just a list, not in any specific order.

For 2-4, check if their juniors are in the same courtroom and sitting. If yes, you shouldn't have to give up your seat for categories 2-4

If the courtroom has vacant chairs, you don't have to get up for anyone

Looks like quite a few members of the NLU gang have taken exception to my advice. Rest assured, I meant every word of it. You cannot hide behind your CLAT ranks for the rest of your lives, fellows. No one place, not even your beloved NLU, has a monopoly on competence and integrity.

Why not try for B.A. (Hons.) at NLSIU. It is a good programme. You will share some classes with students of law as well. You will meet new and interesting people while developing and expanding your intellectual/professional interests. You will even have exclusive access to 10% of the seats in L.L.B. (Hons.) and M.P.P. after you are done with your B.A. Give it a go, dear fellow. All the best. Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.

I did my LLb from Non NLU college and started preparing for CS. I have qualified CS with All India Rank.. Now i am even not able to get an internship in good law firms... Any advice will be highly appreciated ? Does CS adds value to resume to work in general corporate team in law firm?

Is this JSA gurgaon by any chance? A senior (female) partner always ask this to all her new woman hirees. Standard question in her interview - what plans to get married, what plans to have babies.

FYI - she does give mat leaves, recently 2 women have been on mat leave in her team. In hindsight, maybe she is trying to anticipate that mat leaves/ wedding leave of diff people dont clash.

Be a self-starter, and ensure you send in work after careful proofreading.
Be proactive but do not annoy seniors.
If you have questions to understand the task better, compile and collate the questions as to not disturb your senior.
Be super polite, friendly and approachable - lots of pleases and thank yous. This is of course for anyone, learn from the Canadians ;)
If there's a topical news update, send a summary of it to the team along with your analysis. Or send your analysis of some provisions of the DP Act - just as an example. This shows your eagerness and analytical skills.
Do not plagiarise, at any cost.
If this is a physical internship, dress well, reach office before time. Stay back until your senior is there in office. Do not try to leave early, it casts a poor impression. Negotiating WLB comes in once you have got a full-time role.

Hey everyone,

I am a 4th-year law student from a Tier 3 law college and I have secured an internship with Khaitan & Co. in their Corporate & Commercial team.

This is my first time interning at a Tier 1 law firm and in a corporate law setup and I got this opportunity through the application and interview.
I really want to make the most of this as it is hard to get an opportunity like this without any connections which I do not have and I hope to perform well and secure a PPO here

I’d love to hear from those who have interned at Khaitan & Co. (or other Tier 1 firms) about what I should be prepared for.
Specifically:

- Work expectations – What kind of tasks do interns typically get and how are we to go by them?
- Work environment – What is the culture like?
- Dos and Don’ts – Any key things to keep in mind to make a strong impression?
- General advice – What can I do to stand out and improve my chances of a PPO and more importantly, do I ask for it or do they offer it themselves?
-

Would really appreciate any insights or tips. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have a little over a year's experience in the policy research space; all internships were in think tanks- 0 corp internships (had envisioned sm in law school, the plan has drastically pivoted now); How feasible will it be to get corp interviews? / Will I have to intern as a graduate and start from scratch?

1) interrogate the data, most of the submissions are spurious by a quarter to a half

2) it gives an indication of likely ranking, but in absence of any other metric can work as a bad proxy. Case in point is an institute in Bhuvaneshwar, and not the one that you are thinking, this one does not have a website or a building but is in the top 10 law school in India as per NIRF.

3) spend money and hire a cheap audit firm to randomly check one data stream per submission and penalise institution which submit false info

I’m a first-year at NLS, and honestly, our AAD is a mess. Why do they release each subject’s results one by one, at completely random times? Yesterday, Contract Law grades showed up on Digicampus only to be withdrawn later. Now, Digicampus is showing a blank column for Contract Law grades alongside a blank column for History. This whole system is frustrating and unnecessary.

I’m currently interning at a well-known NGO, but I just can’t focus on my work right now because of this constant uncertainty.

Do better, MG!!!

PS: To Louis, who airs every piece of dirty linen in public, isn't this an issue worth agitating over?

Given its description as “focusing on the interface between policy, social sciences, and the law” and based on following parameters, what is the consensus on this programme that has been on since 2014? (1) Placement opportunities and alumni network; (2) academic rigour of the coursework; (3) strength and quality of the teaching faculty; (4) reasonableness of the programme fee; (5) academic and intellectual relations with other programmes at NLSIU; (6) your final recommendation on balance of everything considered here and any other relevant factor not mentioned here.

This is not just a KIIT-specific matter. It shows the rotten toxic thinking of the people involved and the administration. Are things in NLUO any better or as bad?

😢😢😢

Hi. Since you have to decide within a limited timeline, why not also apply for B.A. (Hons.) at NLSIU. It looks promising and they are also offering 10% of the seats in L.L.B. (Hons.) and M.P.P. for their B.A. students. I think the environment at NLSIU can also help you cultivate newer professional interests.

Interned there 2 years ago as a third year student. They taught me all the basics of work. The team is fun and fantastic and the leadership is an example of how firms should be run. I’ve not seen such great culture anywhere else. Don’t know about salaries but it’s a damn good place to intern.

Having worked closely with both teams for over two years, I can provide a concise breakdown of their dynamics. Both partners are exceptional in their respective fields and the work culture largely reflects the contributions and interactions within the teams. This overview also aims to highlight challenges to ensure team leads are aware and can address them effectively.

Team U

Pros:

1. Exposure to high-profile matters.

2. A steep learning curve promoting growth.

Cons:

1. Extremely long working hours.

2. Unnecessary urgency for all deliverables.

3. Unrealistic deadlines.

4. Internal politics.

5. Interpersonal issues within the team.

Team T

Pros:

1. Exposure to diverse high-profile matters.

2. Manageable deadlines.

3. No unnecessary urgency in deliverables.

4. Better work-life balance with minimal micromanagement.

5. A modern and progressive working style.

Cons:

1. Less supervision (which can be a pro or con depending on your experience.

2. Overwhelming working hours and pressure.

3. Difficult seniors from other firms, based on recent feedback.

In summary, both teams have distinct strengths and challenges. The choice between them depends on individual priorities, work style, and career goals.

Delhi is actually far more polite than Mumbai. Plus, the people in Delhi are very friendly and warm. Except for a little bit of self-declared elitism in South Delhi (this sense of self-declared elitism is prevalent in almost all of Mumbai), the weather (except for the amazing winters) and the pollution, Delhi is a far better city than Mumbai in every aspect.

I am working to get my life on track and need your guidance.

I graduated from GLC in 2014 but didn't register with the Bar Council due to debilitating personal, physical, and emotional circumstances. I moved cities and now looking to foray into Law fully as a 34 year old woman.

I missed out on the most formative years of my life and now have to work doubly triply hard to make up for the lost time. Any tips/words of wisdom/anything to make this journey even slightly better?

While it is the moral duty of the Seniors in the profession to don the role of guide or a mentor, many shy away from reasons best known to them. This is mostly rampant across all spheres of this profession unless you are exceptionally bright and reduce your Partner’s work by a large percentage will they show some interest in training you. I suggest you don’t take their jibes personally but work in such a way that appears to lessen the load from your Partner. You have a long way to go and if you start taking everything seriously which affects you so deeply; it may have serious effects - I am speaking from personal experience. I was in a similar position as yours and I wasted a decade fretting over these things. Now I have no choice but to suck it up o and work for my paapi pet.
