If GL is reading this, here’s an insider account borne out of more than a decade of observing the forces at play. KM and RM (scourge - adept at salami slicing), SS (cowbird, a la self-seeker), NS (fairly new but individualistic), HC (helpless), SK (helpless too). Careful what you decide next.

UPDATE: RGNUL students reached out to Gopal Sankaranarayanan Sir, Senior advocate about the issues with the VC and admin. He has spoken to the Visitor Justice Surya Kant on behalf of the students and put their problems before him. Justice Kant is coming to Chandigarh and will meet the students on Saturday - the Chancellor has also been informed and he is also stepping in.

The point is actually that the university (along with parents, etc) should invest in counselling students that one failure is not the end of life. If students can't deal with failing a subject in college, how will they manage the actual challenges that life throws at them?

Failing an exam / backlog in a subject / losing a year in college are all in the long term trivial things. Others have commented on this thread how they went through all of these and still ended up fine in life. That is the message that students should be given.

Unfortunately they feel excessively pressured by these things which they shouldn't be. That's the role of the university and parents - to provide support and messaging accordingly.

You are not getting the point.

Every underserved promotion is better than a life lost. This is not about passing a student who has failed the exam, it's about providing another opportunity to pass. It already reflects in the final marksheet, no-one is trying to hide anything or getting undue advantage.

Not every person is as strong as you. That you are not recognising the same, is not cool.

I am LinkedIn friends with 4 senior/super-senior alumni from NUJS who entered through NRI quota.

One did an LLM from Harvard and is today doing very well as a commercial lawyer.

One did a BCL from Oxford and today has a strong lit practice.

Another got a scholarship for BCL at Oxford and is into corporate law.

Another did an LLM from the US (non-Ivy but top law school) and is working abroad at a top organisation.

There are many similar examples. Often, their achievements are celebrated on the NUJS Facebook page and sometimes they are invited for guest lectures.

To all those hating on NRI quota students and calling them “brats”, is it your case that the above people were undeserving?

Here is my solution. Take the average CLAT score of everyone admitted under caste and domicile quota. If an NRI quota applicant has a score above this, he or she should be admitted. If not, then you are she should be rejected. In my view, this is a very fair and pragmatic solution, because it maintains standards while also ensuring funds infusion into the university, which can be used to improve the university.

I'm also very disappointed. Not from the place but the kind of comments that we have on the thread there overwhelmingly blame the students. Many are borderline slut shaming and yet, the kind of moderation shown there is absent. Just looks like a mouthpiece of the administration there.

Cap marks has good work life balance tbh. You know when is filing and only then it gets a little hectic. Otherwise it's normal 8-9 hours daily. Even if you are in 5-6 deals at a time all of them won't go for filing at once. And more of it also depends on staffing partner to not to staff people with overlapping filing timelines.

You do know how to engage in name-calling but you don't know what information to give that is relevant. At which institution is he doing his PhD? And even if he were at the archives (I'll take your word for it), that doesn't necessarily give an indication of what institution his base is, does it?

The first name is Sudhanshu Kumar. He was at NALSAR for 10 years and taught courses on Company Law, Capital Markets and Competition Law. He has published extensively on Competition Law and Policy, which is why NLSIU offered him an Associate Professor position in 2023.

Pranav is a 2017 BA,LLB alum from NALSAR and only taught there for 2 years. He is very diligent and friendly with students. He had taught Law of Evidence, Criminal Law and Administrative Law and is getting the same subjects at NLSIU.

Sid.C needs no introduction for folks at NLSIU. At NALSAR, he has taught Constitutional Law, Comparative Public Law, Legal Philosophy and Statutory Interpretation among other things over a decade. He has just returned to NLSIU a few months ago, so current students may not have noticed him as yet.

Just try your level best to get a tier one placement. And on the way you'll probably get a tier 3-4 decent place to start your career. Grind it out for initial years and make a smart switch. The place has a lot to offer but the students tend to go for the judicial services mostly.

The "Goria-Math" is a great source to get stuff that helps you cope at the end.

TMPL Consultants.

I'll tell you why.

Because the other recruiters LOVE gathering CVs and then see you crave for a response. Profession ghosting sets in.

Bhargava sisters know their work. And truly, would rather tell you what's impossible rather than faffing about it, which is RATHER PREFERABLE than being ghosted for months.

Will also tell you who to avoid- Avimukta and Enroute. Loved Vahura to another extent in the past. Now it has lost its shine.

Go for TMPL.

Michael (previously with Vahura) is serious about his job. He knows placing people is a professional task, and would not step in only to accumulate credit at the end. Also, wouldn't sugarcoat stuff for you (while in the beginning it may sound like something that you'd want to avoid, but trust me, when the ghosting begins, you'd rather want them to say ANYTHING rather than saying nothing at all!) So you may opt for him.

Note that I am saying “feasible”. So that would rule out not only expensive places like Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru, but also rule out places like Lakshwadeep or Shimla, as the health infrastructure in such places is not good.

So a city with low cost of living, decent infrastructure, good quality of life and good health facilities would be the answer. Also preferably cleanliness and safety. Which is that city? Chennai? Goa? Ahmedabad? Hyderabad? Pune? Chandigarh? Kolkata? Kochi? Vishakapatnam? Indore? Bhopal? Varanasi?

You sound like an extremely entitled person. All the problems you mentioned form a miniscule percentage of your 5 year long experience, and as pointed out in another response here- some of these problems are natural, and multiple batches have survived these issues by using simple measures like keeping their rooms clean and using mosquito coils. You are living on campus at a time where Mcdonald's, metro, GIFT City and major establishments are at a walking distance for you. Your super seniors have experienced barren Lands that had nothing except antelopes and monitor lizards on the roads, and a warm Maggi was a boon- nearest establishments were 3-5 kms away.

Alternative options for you- retake the exams and go to Jiggles/SLS to meet like minded folk

Lemme help you comprehensively,

I hope the pattern is same as of 2022, as I appeared for 2021 and 2022 both years. I got 115/150 : Rank 717 in the first,

and 112/150: Rank 47 in the Second attempt.

So, if you are OMS. You need to focus on getting into top 50 Ranks. Bcz only GLC & ILS are worth it

Now, preparation:

1. English: They ask for very basic questions. Out of 30 marks, 10 marks for Comprehension, which are so so so simple. A 5th Standard student can solve it even.

Then comes, fill ups, which are also simple. Just brush up your basic grammar rules.

Then comes vocabulary, refer word power made easy, more than sufficient.

English part is totally doable.

(Pro Tip: There is a channel on yt named "Manuevour Education" they do PYPQs analysis for MHCET, you see that, you will get fair idea of type of questions. See their videos, on paper pattern too.)

2. GK

It consists of again 30 Q.

In 2021, there were 24 questions from static GK. and it was so so easy. They asked "Where is Taj Mahel situated"

What's the Name of President. So, such basic questions. But it depends on luck, again. So, focus more on static GK. And refer to some handout for Current affairs.

Don't waste much time on Newspaper for MHCET.

3. Maths

10 marks, but matters a lot. Again everything arithmetic. So, search on YouTube, basic chapters of TSD, time and work, Profit loss, basic things .

Brush up your concepts from YouTube.

4. Legal Reasoning

It's very scoring, and determining.

2 types: Legal Knowledge and Legal Reasoning.

Prepare this section from Universal guide to CLAT. That will cover everything

It has principle fact based questions, which all are from CLAT PYPQs. Literally, they copy paste things.

5. Logical Reasoning

It is the most determining section. Puzzles and Sitting arrangements, comes for 25 marks around. It's bit tricky, it's a bit"difficult section" in the exam.

Prepare a lot for it.

So, that's all about it. This exam is totally based on Luck. Totally, if you are OMS.

Cut offs: for Oms

This exam started in 2016

2016: 106

2017: 107-108

2018: 110-112

2019: 113-115

2020 : 112 was the last

2021: 127 for GLC and ILS

2022: 111 for GLC and ILS

I don't know after that, and also, these cut offs are for OMS and for GLC/ILS.

Tip: don't waste time on searching PYPQs, they don't release it.

He is ex JSA and ICICI and one of the best in banking currently. Very knowledgeable and smart and down to earth and humble. It was a big loss for JSA when he left since even today no one there is currently in his league. He has marque clients too. Only 1-2 people in his team are mildly toxic but manageable and worth the exposure you will get there. He has lot of work and since it’s a small team working hours will be crazy but that’s the case with even large banking teams in other firms.

Depends on your CV.

If you’ve done debenture related work, then questions like:

Explain Process of NCD issuance

Difference between pledge, hypothecation, mortgage? Types of mortgage ?

Factual questions from Section 42, 180 (1)a & c, Sec 185, 186

Do you need to open separate bank account? Do you need ISIN? How many resolutions need to be passed? (1 - for issuance, 1 - for allotment)

Is it mandatory to pass shareholder resolution?

Can you do 2 NCD issuances in 1 year? On what condition? What do you need to mention in BR?

Conceptual questions from Section 42 and allied Rules?

Is it legally required to appoint debenture trustee? Under what circumstances?

Is it legally required to execute DTD? Or can you do the issuance basis term sheet?

Questions from CP/ CS checklist

What NOCs required before a financing?

Clauses in a contract - Rep v Warranty v Covenants

All the best!

I am a female lawyer and I recently joined the chambers of a lawyer here at ▮▮▮. I am constantly being harassed by an associate for the past three months. He started with sending lewd texts which I objected to from day one but recently he crossed all limits and molested me. He grabbed me by my waist, inserted his hands inside my clothes, and touched my breasts. I cried and run away from him. I reported this incident to my senior ▮▮▮, but she blamed me for dressing provocatively and told me to forget about it. I have been crying, thinking about it for the past 20 days. I am scared to report it to anyone as my senior's husband is also a lawyer and is a not only ▮▮▮ but also ▮▮▮. I fear they can easily get my registration cancelled. I haven't reported it to anyone. The guy who did it is from a very strong background. He did the same to my other friend, too. I feel like shit. Pls someone help me. His name is ▮▮▮.

hello, i wanted to know the pay scale across verticals for a fresher who joins as a research associate at the research organisation: The Dialogue, New Delhi. + is there a hybrid working model established at this organisation? people who genuinely know, kindly help out, thanks so much.

I've been thinking about starting my own business here in India, but I'm a bit worried about all the legal stuff I might run into. I know there are probably a bunch of rules and regulations to deal with, especially when you're just getting started.

So I'm curious - what are the biggest legal headaches that new startups in India usually face? I'm talking about those tricky issues that can really trip up a small business owner who's just trying to get their idea off the ground.

If any of you have experience with this or know someone who does, I'd love to hear about it. What should new entrepreneurs watch out for? Are there any legal pitfalls that people often overlook?

Thanks in advance for any insights you can share! I'm just trying to get prepared before I dive in.
