Woxen and SLSN are good but there are other good in Hyderabad like Mahindra University- Law (they are the one having some of the very good collabs apart from JGLS); BML Munjal and BITS. Christ Banglore one has got good ranking too. Sai Chennai can be a good pick, in 5 years, I am sure they would have a different reputation. Apart from these, VIT Chennai and VIT AP is very promising given their leadership and curriculum.

Some differently abled students had asked SBA and UGC (as well I guess) to specifically direct all teachers to not give SCC copies but only manupatra copy or other OCR enabled copies as reading materials for the sake of accessibility. I don't think that was implemented back then. Nevertheless, SB the labour law professor and later even RS, the corporate law professor acknowledged this and was sharing accessible copies only. Don't know what is happening now.

DW kid, this is an IT technicality, lots of people who've been in the legal profession in multiple countries (including British and U.S. Supreme Court judges) don't know what it means. So just find out by reading on and don't be too hard on yourself for not knowing before.

1. What: OCR-enabled is when the PDF can be read as typed text (like the text of this comment), rather than as an image-based PDF.

2. Disproportionately bad impacts it has on people:

(a) A comment above has described difficulties with marking/annotating non-OCR-enabled documents. That person has explained it well, so I can't do better than quote what s/he said: "Trying to draw straight horizontal highlights in Adobe is an absolute pain in the ass and this is one of the reasons behind why I chose to post under this particular pseudonym. A person realises how much they take the ability to select and highlight text for granted after having to go through even one SCC report."

(b) Not enabling it means that blind people can't access such PDFs at all. SCC Online knows about that (they have been told multiple times), but they choose not to act, which is entirely on them.

Oh yes they did. The one who tried to talk with them was Rahul Bajaj, the first blind Indian Rhodes Scholar (mods, this is a matter on public record, please publish). It ended up becoming a Twitter fight between him and senior SCC Online reps. Their behaviour was disgusting. Later, Bajaj told an American journalist about improvements to the SCC Online website which, he said, were likely byproducts of improvements at other things than accessibility, with the fact that they had improved accessibility being entirely coincidental. Evidently, SCC Online cares as little about disabled people now as they did then. You have only to search his (Rahul Bajaj's) Twitter profile to see what happened.

Nothing personal, imo. There are such partners across firms who dont take resignations well (and end up proving to you even more the exact reasons why you quit) but then you’re on notice, who gives a fuck? Take it head on, and leave happily, thats what hurts them the most, not seeing the associates get hurt

It's been few months into tier 1 law firm and I have been often get looks by seniors when I say I don't have bandwidth. My peers at other teams also says it is brave of me to tell it in a blunt manner. They often take more work then they can handle and though they are able to deliver most of the time, they get chided for delay or quality. On the other hand, I feel I need time to learn things and it is difficult for me to handle multiple things at once. But even I have got remarks that I shouldn't say that I don't have bandwidth on senior's face. Instead try to hint at it indirectly. I don't understand what is wrong with saying it directly when you know that you cannot handle workload. Further, if I should say it indirectly or hint at it, how should it be? My rationale is that it is lesser evil to not commit to do the work and let the senior give it to someone else, than to commit to take up the work and do it in such a way that the senior would have to re-do it again. Also if I am not sure about whether I can balance the workload or not, should I just take it up anyways and face the consequences of a bad work or say I might not be able to do it. Idk how you all are able to handle this. At one point you have to be 100% accurate pulling out every law, rules and notifications etc and at the same time you have to do it in record time, managing multiple stuff. But somehow I see seniors are able to manage it because I have never heard them saying they don't have bandwidth to their partners.

Two things to remember: The first batch has completed its 7th semester, and the batch sizes are just under 40. Law firms are starting to assign work integrating forensics and law to NFSU Law students (the niche is important and high value).

Yeah agree. I hope AI does something so we have to slog lesser. But it’s not there yet. There are far too many complications and PandCs for AI to handle as of now. In India it can’t happen in two weeks, period. Would take at least a month or more, depending on the kind of issues.

There aren’t a lot of firms that specialize in Corp law in Chennai, in comparison to the other Tier 1 cities at least. The ones that practice Corp don’t pay that great excepting a few. That being said, I think ICUL pays around 45-50K to a fresher, however I’m not 100% sure, I could be wrong. The best paying firms in Chennai for Corp are probably KCO, AZB, SAM, and maybe LKS.

1.1k rank in clat, i might get MNLU M by vacancy but its a tough bet. Did not get SLSP, got SLSN. Got offer letter from jindal but idts im gonna qualify for scholarship. Id consider bits but again scholarship is an issue. Im from mumbai and dont want to go to a tier 2 or worse city unless the college is wow. and im from a middle class family a little above middle class id say, my dad doesnt exactly work that much but my mom is in the corporate banking world at a good position and has contacts. Im looking for a college that had corporate placements and good exposure. If i dont get mnlu m, should i go for NMIMS, GLC or SLSN?

Yes, while mainstream T-1 firms may not be hiring actively, there are many firms which don't freeze hiring until the end of your final year. For instance, Bharucha & Partners, JSA, Tatva Legal, Tuli & Co., AP&Partner, Acuity Law, S&A Law Offices, S&P, Keystone etc.

(This list is based on the EOIs received, may or may not be true for every batch)

Idk what the original comment was, but man, just check your privilege at the door and stop invalidating other people’s experience.

I really hope and pray for people like you to have extended durations of discomfort doing some dogshit job like lawyering which is really just a family business for the privileged class, in order to just create some financial comfort for you and your family.

Maybe then you’ll understand.

Go with Rahul's. The fee is defintley on the higher side, no denying that but the course is also longer as compared to other coaching instiutions and it is worth it. They have a set time table for classes, provide notes and other study material. The teachers are good. Other coaching institutes will finish the course sooner by not teaching you half of the syllabus. Now it is for you to decide which one you want join. Hope this helps.
