But there is some Deep conspiracy afoot.
The committees (Academics, Campus life, and Residence Life: issues of space and access on campus), had given their recommendations over the September break. A lot of these recommendations have been straight up rejected by the VC, ▮▮▮. He has disregarded his own faculty and administrative members that gave these recommendations. Rumour is that the VC is unhappy with a lot of these faculty and administrative members since they did not stand up to the students whose sole purpose is to malign his image as a fantastic administrator.
For instance, Gate 0 of the campus was asked to be open till 12 AM since a lot of students had faced sexual harassment (with one professor also placing on record their experience of harassment!) on the path outside the college, allowing for easier access into college. The University has simply rejected this saying that they are “reviewing financial and other administrative constraints” before Gate 0 timing could be increased.
To pretend that the University wants to implement the rest of the recommendations, he has attached impossible conditions on the SBA. The committees had recommended that the Library and New Academic Block classrooms should be open till 3 AM since there are no spaces for students to study and socialise after midnight. Even though he keeps getting one big corporate grant after another (wonder where the Infosys and JSW money is going!), the VC has asked the SBA to pay money that will be required in keeping these spaces open, like infrastructure and security requirements (like installing CCTV’s) on the SBA. If only our stupid SBA had realised as everyone from the student body had told them that this whole thing was a sham, and was never going to work! But no, they asked us to believe in these sham committees that the university had no intention of ever following in good faith.
Even more petty things that were recommended, like removing the 500 rupees entry fine for coming to campus late after the beginning of the trimester, have not been implemented. There was no logic for penalising students for not coming on the first day on campus since they already lose their attendance, and sometimes students have internships that they cannot just leave and come.The Chief Warden, Chief Operating Officer, and the former registrar all recognised this, and suggested the removal of the fine. However, the University in its wisdom has basically told them to shut up, and instead proposed a 500 rupee daily fine, instead of 500 as a whole!
They are also directly retaliating against the student body now. It’s so obvious with the bs reasons they are giving. They have taken away everything they call “discretionary services”; backtracking on paying for physiotherapy for disabled students, pulling money for hostel events, stopping funding for buses to the airport at the end of trimester, etc.. They have even reduced the frequency of room cleaning because students “don’t show enough gratitude”. How dare we ask to be treated with basic respect! And how dare we think that SBA would fight the admin to give the respect we deserve!
One of the SBA Co-Presidents had shared some incorrect information on an internal, student WhatsApp Group about how the VC had apparently called NUJS and asked them to go ahead with Trilateral without NLSIU. He deleted it almost immediately after posting it, as he learned that the information is false from a NUJS student representative. Apparently, the VC had merely indicated NLSIU might not be able to make it for Trilaterals and to consider having an inter NLU instead of having only 3 NLU’s participate.
For this small error, however, the Co-President was show-caused, and effectively forced to resign. So much for all of his good faith. In his own words from the resignation email: “I had started my tenure with a rather optimistic vision in my mind. I was of the opinion that all that was needed for the SBA to achieve its goals was to build a culture of mutual trust between the student body and the university. In hindsight, it was a rather reductive view of things. I genuinely believed in the idea that building a mutual trust between the SBA and the university will go a long way in ensuring that students' interests are heard and respected. I always believed in being reasonable with the requests that I ever put forth and balancing the interests and perspectives of the students and the university. I also sincerely believed in the need for the students to take accountability for their actions. I was certain that doing what was right without thinking twice would eventually result in the SBA getting the respect it deserves, both from the university and the student body. However, as I end my tenure with my resignation, I am completely hopeless and frustrated. I laugh at the misconceptions and wrong assumptions that I held.”
This is so embarrassing
> “In my view as an advocate who at the age of 58 years is just capable of earning a net amount of Rs 88,000 from practice should in no case be recommended for judgeship. We cannot lose sight of the fact that a High Court chaprasi gets more than Rs 13,000 per month as salary which is equivalent to Rs 1,56,000 per annum which is almost double the income of Mrs Shukla Kabir Sinha from her practice as a lawyer.”

I'm scared. People talk about college friends lasting you a lifetime, and even though I do have friends, and am generally liked in my batch, I feel lonely. People's groups are where they settle and stay in. I don't have anyone right now. I'm scared that I'm also not making connections properly.
How friendly are people at law firms? Are there any friend worthy people present there?
Any stories for the same?
I am a final year and have internships lined up in GenCorp and B&F areas, but may not translate into offers. I enjoy both practice areas but want to make the choice that leaves me open to getting hired. Please advise.
Do B&F teams take freshers with 4 months experience in the area, or do they strictly prefer laterals? Additionally, are there enough openings at the entry level to make this a viable choice?
