And still only 5% of Jindal students come out to be above average lawyers and more than 80% of students are still unplaced. The ‘’so-called Jindal model’’ is so funny i cant😂😂😂

Is this a new thing now? Jindal students thinking their college is better than NLUs? Because i think someone needs to treat their delulu

It’s all tough. Harvard Yale and Stanford are particularly tough. Yale is perhaps the toughest one to make. Getting into NYUs legal theory programme is tough. It’s very selective. Getting into Tech law and SPILS at Stanford is very tough. Oxford BCL with funding is very tough. Getting into the Cambridge is also tough depending on the programme. Getting the gates Cambridge fellowship is difficult.

I’ve interned here for many months, Bharat sir is a great speaker and a brilliant advocate, if you see his arguments you’ll agree that he’ll become a senior soon. But work culture wise it’s not the best, work hours are terrible, as an intern I’ve consistently put in 9am-9pm days almost everyday, that to with no stipend. Saturday sundays are nonexistent and you can be made to work like a dog. Some of the associates are sweet and nice, act like friends but a few of them are just A-holes that make your life hell. Iykyk who M. Rest the pay isn’t the greatest but it’s a good place to learn. Office is also very cramped and mid, place doesn’t have much of a structure as an organisation.

SLS Pune is only for those who can hustle - if you work hard and are among the top 50 students (not just in terms of academics, but overall (count co-curriculars, internships, and other things you can do in a law school that may help you become a good lawyer), you can reach all the places that any other law school student may reach. You have to go full-throttle to achieve this - because while excelling at the law school you have to manage your life in the city, learn to find an affordable apartment, make it home, have a good social life and take care of your health, all at once. This overall development takes one a long way. Believe it or not, SLSP is the top choice for the urban population after the top 5-6 NLUs - the quality of SLSP alums is great and that's why they are everywhere in the industry.

SLSP will give you just enough to be at the top, you should have the wisdom to create something out of it.

What an appalling comment! The fact this got seven upvotes... is not at all surprising! Just shows the kind of people who hang out on here are either trolls or those who deliberately want to exclude. Among other things, who teaches law after your grand scheme's implementation has crossed a number of years, you elitist snob? Alright, have difficult exams or whatever - no problem! BUt this? Just nonsense!

What to do as a Tax lawyer, should I do CA or quit entirely and go for smth like dispute or litigation - I think about this at least 10 times a week. You spends hours and hours in building up your CV and everything just starts feeling like a very stupid mistake. If any of you can relate and have made it to the other side, would love to know your thought.

The CLAT Fiasco that happened this year and btw it's still going on, should be enough to question the integrity of the exam and the people it is admitting into the top law schools of the country. That exam favours luck more than anything.The batch that came in last year and the batch that is gonna get in this year has got to be the dumbest batches ever. Literally people with prep of 10-20 days in CLAT 2024 are my batchmates at NLUJ right now. If that's not enough to convince you that CLAT isn't it what it used to be anymore then idk what else will. I understand that if you're older and gave CLAT many years ago but it's not the same anymore. Any tom dick harry who got to know about clat two days before the exam and has the favour of luck can do well in the exam.

Try getting into GLC/ILS, some people are still able to get into Top Tier Law Firms from those colleges. Even I've seen Christ Bangalore, NMIMS, Praveen Gandhi, People working in Good Law firms. Surprisingly people from Amity and VIPS in Delhi, I've seen them working with SAM. Something you should need to understand is you won't get the cream crowd in these colleges, but you'll have to work your way out of it. Obviously doable. Perhaps, something which you might not be aware of is if your main aim is Tier 1 Law firms and you fail to make it right after your college, you can anyway start working in a tier 2/3 firms such as ALMT Legal, PSA, Samvad just to name a few and HeadHunters, WILL APPROACH YOU WITH A TIER 1 LAW FIRM JOB OFFER. Don't you worry buddy, attrition rate is very high, just be patient, learn in your internships, don't go behind buying courses, stay true to your cv, do deep research and publish it, no one is taking away your dream job from you. Best Luck.

You need to understand that you haven't started your career in law as of now. 5 years is a big long time. You change, people around you change, market will change so will the employment and so will your area of interest.
Do not think about how to get into a T-1 Law firm, at least at this point of time. First I would suggest, if you get SLS Pune, go for it. If you want to focus in giving another shot at CLAT, go for it, but be aware the volatility of this exam. If you crack CLAT and get into a decent NLU, focus on getting good. Experiment with your interest and necessity. Participate in competitions, do decent internships if not the best T1s, because you never know, your grades can help you jump ahead of the queue. By the end of your 3rd Year/Beginning of your 4th year, make a decision what do you want to pursue.

I would strongly recommend you not to look for job prospect right now, at least jumping into the bandwagon of Corporate Law Firms and law firm internships is futile at the moment [there is no early start advantage in this field, especially those seeking jobs in law firms: telling you from experience]. So, go slow, and enjoy as you go along the road.

Also,CLAT isn't what it used to be anymore.People with 10-20 days of prep in CLAT. 2024 are my batchmates at NLUJ right now and I'm afraid the situation is gonna be even worse this year.The people who literally marked the wrong option are gonna get into these prestigious law schools. The upcoming batches of NLUs have got to be really humble cuz they have achieved jackshit in this crap you call an exam.

Hi, I'm currently in my 4th year of law school, and reside in Gurgaon. I'm looking for good law firms/practices in Gurgaon that I could intern at with the hopes of converting it into an assessment/job offer. Anyone currently working at one, I'd be grateful if you could share your experience and pay. Thank you!

Please use some punctuations for the love of God!!

Now coming to your query, since you already have secured two good internships, try converting them into call-backs first. Work diligently, burn midnight oil, stay humble, be pro-active and most importantly, work smartly.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently looking for some guidance on preparing for the SQE and would greatly appreciate insights from those who have recently gone through the process.

1. 1. For someone with an average academic background, how challenging do you think the SQE is?
2. 2. Is it necessary to seek coaching or additional support to succeed in the exam?
3. 3. I've come across several SQE preparation providers, with Barbri and QLTS being the most widely discussed. Could anyone share their experiences with these programs?
4. 4. Are there any other coaching options or resources you would recommend?
5. 5. Finally, any tips or advice for effective preparation would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your time and insights. I look forward to hearing from you!

I desire to fly around the world like superman. It doesnt mean im an alien from planet krypton. If youre male- you cannot give birth. Definitionally you do not have the organs to do so. Thats what male means. People having dysphoria doesnt negate the reality of sex. Anyone of any sex can become a parent. Only females can be mothers.

Greetings Everyone!

I’m currently in my final year of law school in Hyderabad and will be graduating in 2025. I come from a small town in Bihar and have always been passionate about pursuing litigation.

However, I’m at a crossroads right now. I have pending student loans that I need to repay, and I also want to gain meaningful experience in litigation. I’m unsure about which city to focus on or which chambers to approach. Delhi seems like an obvious choice, but I’m skeptical about whether I’ll be able to sustain myself there while managing my financial obligations.

Throughout law school, I’ve interned at District Courts, High Courts, and Tier 1 and Tier 2 law firms, gaining diverse exposure. But despite this experience, I’m struggling to figure out the right path forward where I can learn, grow, sustain myself financially, and eventually clear my student loans.

If anyone has advice, insights, or guidance whether about cities, chambers, or strategies to balance learning and financial sustainability, I’d deeply appreciate it.

Thank you in advance

A friend of mine is an in-house counsel (11+ PQE) with a B2B IT infrastructure company and gets around 65lpa (inclusive of 5-6lpa bonus). What's more interesting is that he has a full WFH arrangement and rarely goes to office - say once a month. Enjoys business trips to foreign locations on team meetings. Trust me, he has earned this peaceful luxury as he was previously working in a law firm, giving in almost 13-14h per day and drawing merely 30lpa.

Dear all,

I have 2 options in hand to choose for my honors paper - Corporate Law and IPR.

The fact that this honor paper choice of mine is a very crucial point since my future opportunities and career will depend on this. I am confused as to which honors paper should I choose to build a good career.

I am 4th Year BBA LLB(Hons.) student. I have 2 options in hand, Corporate law & IPR.

1. Which one is preferred to choose?

2. which field has good and safe career opportunities?

3. If i choose IPR or Corporate Law as my Honors paper, then how are my opportunities likely to be?

An advocate recently wrote this on Twitter:

"NLU/Jindal/Symbi law grads forget- or perhaps, don’t know- that they represent a minuscule portion of people who obtain law degrees in this country.

Hence these tone-deaf takes such as ‘bro the bare act was right in front of her still couldn’t get the answer right’ etc. etc."

Comments?

This feeling is only when you are in the beginning of your career. With time, and as more work comes your way, you'll slowly but surely realise that this is a journey that you, like everyone else, is undertaking all alone. It is you and only you who matter here. You will even come across colleagues who will make fun of you for not splurging much, and not looking rich. Ignore them. Buy decent clothes and footwear, and focus on your work. You'll then stop bothering what these "fair weather companions" will have to say.

Shame on this creep!
