1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

Yes, you are right. The students are securing very good internships. Also, remember that the BSc-LLB (H) differs from what a few state NLUs offer. The BSc component in NFSU specializes in Data Science. The other option is the Delhi campus, which offers the BBA-LLB (H) specializing in Corporate Forensics, with the advantage of location (Delhi).
Generally from what I’ve heard and seen, the team doesn’t have too much work. You can expect to have good amount of WLB. But career progression, and pay can certainly be an issue.
Anyone with a reliable source please help. Have heard a lot about the firms from Mumbai and Delhi shelling out ppos lately. Not a lot from Bangalore. Please help.
There is no equivalent to the scope on OS. OS is a safer and robust option. Far more enriching, interesting, financially gainful, and dare I say, creative, too.
AS is a sinking ship. Work is already drying up on the AS. All AS work will be over and the AS Bar will collapse the day the Kolhapur Bench comes up.
AS seniors are pure egoistic arseholes.
No paisa, no opportunities.
Of course, the last part applies when you're an outsider. You shall slog for their raja betas and rani bitiyas.
If you have an option, go for an OS senior. Don't work on AS side. The oldies (them 'old boys' and a good number of 'old girls') are just waiting to squeeze juniors till the last blood drop; all till their bacha/ nibling comes in.
The actual advocacy work is on the OS
AS is just a sorry excuse, only a step above the black coats yelling "Affidavit! Affidavit!", outside Magistrate Court premises.
Prof (Dr) Shashikala Gurpur never wanted to become NLU VC. She is the Dean of the Faculty of Law at Symbiosis, which technically makes here the chief of all four SLS!

Can anyone confirm what kind of work she mainly handles? Is it focused on PE/VC? This will be really helpful. Thank you fam.
Interesting..all colleges have someone like Anand Pawar
I graduated from UK with a 3 year LLB and was unable to get a training contract. I don’t think I would get an offer from a UK law firm (I have applied three cycles). Currently I am interning in India wherever I can (law firm/advocate chambers/consulting firm done). Should I do a law bridging course or do CAT for MBA? Bridging course at NLU takes two years and I am worried I won’t get a job offer at a law firm being a non NLU graduate. I am thinking of entering consulting through MBA (Deloitte etc), seems like there is more opportunity for me to move abroad with a consulting job (many move to Australia after working 2 years in Bangalore) instead of working in law here. Only thing with CAT is I am seeing most toppers are from engineering degree only. Would appreciate any insight from people who did LLB abroad and came back to India please.
Thanks.
