They will think IIULER as an NLU and a Public University! In addition to this, many websites wrongly project IIULER as a BCI Institution instead of BCI Trust - PEARL FIRST (an independent, autonomous body not under the Control/part of BCI) - All these will accumulate into greater speculations where students get decived as IIULER is a new NLU funded by the government!
So, the President of Consortium of NLUs must specify the reason/on what basis IIULER is included in their Consortium. Else, they must exclude Private Universities/Non-NLUs from the Consortium!
IIULER is a Private University under Section 2(f) of UGC Act. It was passed by the State Legislature of Goa (Goa Act No:16 of 2021) - The point is that, irrespective of who is "funding" the University, in case of all other NLUs, they are funded by particular State Governments but IIULER is a Private University funded by a Trust - So, legally, Article 12 (the ambit of State) cannot be applied in a Private Institution funded by Private personalities. I think, the Consortium of NLUs is now diluting the scope and ambit of Article 12 itself!
Another problem is that, many aspirants will get "deceived" as IIULER is an NLU/Public University since it joined in the Consortium of NLUs! It's a big matter of concern!
1. All the comments encouraging the kid should be listened to carefully and the advice of the authors of those taken on board.
2. Those comments are the best of Legally India. From time to time, this best side of this site is seen, which is why I will keep coming back. So nice to see that not everyone commenting on this forum is out to do a hitjob on one or more of the usual suspects!
P.S - Manan, if you reading, and agree with it, please comment with a suitable emoji! hahah :):):):)
Having worked across multiple law firms, and now reaching a very senior level. I’ve observed the pitfalls of joining small boutique practices based on their flashy and appealing advertisements—often in the form of LinkedIn posts by some partners or even managing partners of these so-called ‘law firms’. Many of these places claim to offer a better work-life balance, decent pay, and a vibrant culture, typically by positioning themselves as a superior alternative to Tier 1 firms. However, the reality is often far more toxic than you might anticipate.
My message is simple: if you are considering joining a boutique firm, be alert to red flags. Watch out for exaggerated claims, repeated job postings, polished images of an ideal work culture, and promises of work-life balance, competitive pay, or flexible working arrangements. Ask yourself a critical question: if the culture is truly as great as advertised, why is there such a high turnover rate, and why are they so desperate for new hires?
Before making any decisions, speak with current and former employees to gain an honest perspective. Don’t fall for the bait of a seemingly perfect workplace.
This message is shared purely in the public interest.
Word hard, hustle and all the best.
Adios.
Further, how much does a chamber junior usually get paid under a tax lawyer (designated and non-designated). Thank you so much.
Do you want to give 60-70 hours weekly then go for law firm.
Want a relatively better WLB then in house.
This is really shocking news and an eye opener. We are celebrating law firm offers of 15-20 lakhs pa to freshers, but does it really matter when the rupee is so weak? Rent, petrol, laptops… everything is getting expensive. Really concerning and worrying.
I humbly request if someone in similar area read this post to kindly give me an opportunity. Kindly connect on helpnk9@gmail.com
Here's what I have till now (general tips) -
1. Work to be a part of the team, and make their life easier in all tasks.
2. Take initiative, ask for feedback and act on the feedback.
My Questions are as follows:
1. Can I take an off or is that a big no-no?
2. How do you draw the line between sucking up and being courteous?
3. How do you prepare for the internship (specifically for the transactions team)?
Is AZB Delhi-NCR hiring A0 associates for their direct tax team?
What is the selection process, direct entry or through assessment internships?
How is the work culture (if anyone has interned there)?
Please let me know
