It is not the best option, but you can consider it since it is much better than being in a private college. The fees is really low as well. Faculty is good, but the administration sucks. Law faculty, in particular, can be really depressing at times. Still, choosing Jamia is a good option if you do not have the time to prepare for CLAT.

im currently appearing for my boards and super confused what college to take. Basically I wasted the whole year got a bad clat rank and bad ailet rank gave slat got in the interview round but couldn't get in and all im left with is mhcet but im not sure how much ill get in that so glc or ils is my plan a (hopefully I get them) if not what should my plan b be? bits, NMIMS or amity for 5 years bballb course

Hello. Internships in a law firm or chambers is a medium to give back to the community. No useful work is accomplished out of the intern. But, it is relevant and required to afford the intern an opportunity to see how the profession truly functions. Many a time especially in firms/chambers that are busy and have a demanding practice, the personnel are far too busy servicing their clients and handling their matters. The intern and his/her requirements are the least important item in the workplace. I suggest you request your team to allow you to attend all meetings/calls that they are engaged in, to enable you to understand how they function and the smorgasbord of different tasks involved. Expecting the average busy professional to take out precious billable hours to mentor you - perish the thought my young friend. All the best.

Greetings guys

I would like to know counsels having a good tax practise (indirect tax to be specific) and NCLT practise. I am passionate about indirect tax, corporate and insolvency laws. However, it’s hard to find counsels specialising in both as most as senior counsels who have a wide array of practise and I would rather focus on those 2 practises I mentioned earlier. Good work and work-life balance are my criterias

Hey, I was not aware of how you got in. I think that's great and you will cope with the new area.
The other answer is right, its not very common for Dispute teams to be handing out offers. All 5 years, I interned at T2 law firms, Sr. counsel chambers etc. and faced a similar issue in my final year. I ended up changing my rudder from core disputes to another area of disputes because its better to have a job that pays you well and allows you to 'litigate'. Good Luck !

In a day's time, it will officially be 3 months since the first allotment list for the CLAT 2025 batch was due. As of now, only two out of the five appealed questions have been amended. The majority of hearings seem to be centered around clubbing cases or postponing dates. Back in January, I too stood alongside the judiciary, telling the people around me things like, "We aren't the only ones facing issues," and "We are a country of more than a billion people, the judiciary have a ton of cases to handle." But now, I can't bring myself to say that anymore. At this point, it's hard to see any clarity in the process. They’re supposed to release 5 allotment lists (if they even plan to do that) in 3 months, assuming the March 3rd hearing actually resolves anything. It's incredibly frustrating. They began the counselling process with an answer key that clearly contained multiple errors, they collected Rs. 20,000 from thousands of students, and left us in the dark with no answers.

Again it makes you think about what started it all, The question paper. The consortium took Rs. 1,000 from tens of thousands of students in grievance appeal money (mind you, with distinguished jurists involved), yet failed to correct a question that was undeniably wrong—no two ways about it. It took the court to step in and clarify, "Bhai yeh 11th waale ka answer D ho hi nahi sakta, C hai' (English, Question number 11, Set B [^]) "

Everyone said "CLAT ka padhle, achchi rank laakar boards dega na kuch pressure nahi lagega" and I did that. I DID study for CLAT the entire year, skipping all my pre-boards, I DID get an achchi rank and yet I wake up everyday in uncertainty and anxiety, unsure about what will I do in the future even after doing all that gadha-majhduri.

The only thing positive that I can think of this time is that, after all this is over, the consortium will hopefully get on the right track again and set a decent, controversy-free paper for the CLAT 2026 aspirants. But mera kya? Example banane ke liye why sacrifice my mental health and that of thousands of others? Couldn’t this entire mess have been avoided if they had simply reviewed the paper properly? And by "review," I mean just handing it over to any aspirant three months into their prep, and they could’ve easily told you which one is marked incorrectly and which isn't.

I realize this may come across as a pointless rant, one that many will likely scroll past, but it’s hard not to feel that this situation is utterly unfair. We’re all just expected to "sit tight" and "hope for the best," while the consortium continues to drag its feet. All props to Aditya (the person who filed the appeal in court regarding the questions) There's finally someone who's bringing to light the absolute shithousery consortium has made out of CLAT and I think even though the lists are getting delayed, we should all stand with him and encourage him because only then will the consortium be held accountable for this mess.

Apologies for the lengthy rant. I'm just tired of waiting around and studying for boards in anxiety everyday. Whoever is reading, thank you. I hope you have a great day.

*The dates announced by the consortium for the allotment lists.

I’m an A0 and i’m looking to switch firms. I’m very unfamiliar with how the entire process is and how difficult it might be to change firms. Any guidance / general tips on what the interview process is like, how the CV should look like, any topics to steer clear off during the interview, etc?

The man who built the foundation and reputation has perhaps hung up his boots and embarked to the UK, leaving the reins in the hands of the two captioned partners.

As has been astutely observed, in the long run, the non TD team is a one-way ticket to professional disaster - both mentally and otherwise. The reasons for this are well-documented, not only here but in extensively detail in thread ATU Banking on LI.

That said, even the supposedly safe TD camp has not been spared by the recent influx of senior-level maniacs who threaten to turn an already precarious situation into an outright catastrophe.

i am exactly placed in this situation, been interning since october in a chamber.

caveat--i have no firm internship experience, but from what i've heard from others who have, a chamber like this provide a very good opportunity to engage in substantial and meaningful work from the point of view of learning. one reason being that they have a lot of good work, but less people to do. so, they try with interns who are willing to take ownership for a substantial part of the work.

If it is general litigation, then he simply hands me over the file to the draft petition and list of dates among others while taking help from online interns to do caselaw research. Then, the senior acts as the informal judge and assess your draft and points out the potential weak points, in a way saving time on his part as well as giving the intern a good learning.

If it is arbitration, then that's a gold mine as I get instructed to perform tasks, be it analysis of multi agreements; going through various related pleadings to look for loopholes; assisting in preparing witness testimony, attending senior advocate conferences, etc.

Also, my senior is quite generous in pay as well, last month i got 25k.

But, yeah one of the downsides i've heard, its difficult to switch to a firm since they don't accommodate your chamber experience very well.

On IndianKanoon, search for doctypes: sebisat and sortby: mostrecent. Go through the firms representing both SEBI and the other party. You'll note that a lot of matters actually have T2 and boutiques filling the causelist, rather than typical T1 firms. These firms include MDP Legal, K. Ashar, Vidhii, Law Point etc. These firms will have much lower pay than T1s but one year at these firms will ensure you learn more than you would at AZB or (S)CAM. ELP used to be the marquee firm for SEBI but they've lost their charm now
