Focus on your academics seriously, I mean very seriously, try to be in top 3 of your batch. Take help from seniors but I believe there won't be much help from them, apply for internships, mail them, follow up them, apply everywhere with good statement of purpose. Write atleast one good paper in 2 years. Attend summer and winter courses. Nothing is impossible, it's just your will.

Lower deductions (No exemptions exempt from new 115 Tax regime )does not indicate that workload will be lower.

Income Tax Act is a vast ocean, and Section 80 is but a tiny portion of it.

And if you've read VSV Scheme, to resolve the disputed, you have to pay 100% of the disputed tax anyways (minus penalty and Interest). If you have a strong case, it makes no sense to avail this.

In India, Universities are very VC oriented institutions. B.R. Ambedkar University, Delhi was perhaps an excellent institution about 7-8 years ago, today you see teachers departing in droves from there. Ranbir Singh saw potential in a few people and gave them their specialization to teach in NLUD. But when these VCs go away, the universities are a former shell of themselves. A central university will give you 2 advantages - pay commissions are applied faster sometimes and you may not have to put too much effort into teaching and you can focus on writing papers. But whether it's good or not depends on your own luck.

No. This isn't enough. Even if every student in your cohort either got offers from MC or US law firms in London, or got into the Oxford BCL or Yale LLM (and perhaps some JD) with scholarships, it wouldn't be enough; and even if your professors were, respectively, the editors of the Law Quarterly Review, the Modern Law Review, Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, Cambridge Law Journal, American Journal of International Law, Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence and Current Legal Problems, that wouldn't be enough either. It's not the vast majority of quiet hard workers people here make fun of. It is the childish propagandists like yourselves. If your law school is truely that great, DW! It will speak for itself! Why do all this genuflecting on LI?

However, you guys want to continue living in your own echochamber? Carry on!

There is a "non-EWS General", it's called the General Category, not the NRI Quota Category. There is a Domicile category, it's called the Domicile category of the NLU in your state (if any). It's not called the NRI Quota in <insert random NLU that is harder to get into>.

See if you want to make a case, make a case, but don't f with the terms. Words mean something, let's not confuse an apple to be a Yeti.

You from Admin? Any idea when did University introduce no detention policy? Do these professors even meet you after college hours? Don't you go to college at 9 and leave at 4:30 or are you an AILET aspirant judging the University from some YouTube videos. Even if Academic pressure will have less to do. No body can deny how isolated or hollow the place feels. No human emotion or touch by any means.

I am a current student. Your comment seems to be just a Media cover up from Administration side. No doubt, University doesn't do anything more than this now a days.

In your opinion, detention of the boy had nothing to do with his saddening affairs of the university and the fate of him. God bless you. You need to go through Internal mails circulated.

The issue is that the question pertains to a larger problem, as NRCB data shows that the toll is 27 cases per day. Most often, such cases do not have anything to do with academic pressures. What I gather from many is that NLUD has perhaps the most relaxed system of academics. There is no detention policy, a lesser number of classes, and the best teacher-student ratio (1 to 10). Even all other law schools only implement the BCI syllabus and nothing much beyond that. So, there is a need to have a deeper understanding of these issues.

I understand people are outraged. But can someone really explain why ?

Don’t the BCI rules give the bar council power to make sure convicted criminals shouldn’t be lawyers ? Depending on nature of offence and whether a sentence has been served ? Shouldn’t law be one of those professions where a criminal record should disqualify you from at least representing other people ? Kind of like if you are a drug user maybe you shouldn’t be a doctor ? And if you’re a pedophile maybe we shouldn’t give you certification to be a school teacher ? Lawyers are officers of the court no ? How can the BCI allow people to register who might have criminal proceedings against them? The BCI is supposed to check for this anyway- they’re simply passing the work on to universities so they’re able to do it more efficiently. Exactly what is wrong with that ?

One of my friends studied in a fancy university abroad when her classmate was caught plagiarising a weekly assignment . The professor and the university were so offended they called all the state bar councils to make sure the plagiarist didn’t get a license. If they can set those standards for themselves why shouldn’t we ?

Biometric attendance and cctv - I mean no one is really going to check all this data to persecute people. This is something they’re doing in schools and board exams now to ensure that teachers are doing their job and no one is cheating.

If it’s political retribution and free speech once is worried about - it’s easy enough to record video without audio ?

It seems to me rooting out fraud in university legal education would fall within the bar councils purview no ? You already give your biometric to Aadhar and a whole host of other things. There’s barely any part of Bangalore or Bombay that’s not covered by cctv. School boards have used cctv to make sure there’s no cheating in examinations ( and it’s worked !). If we’re so upset and outraged by failing standards of legal education - why are we outraged when universities are asked by regulators to use updated technology to reduce fraud ?

Commenters here saying : oh BCI should start with non nlus where standards are terrible. They are ! That’s who these rules are meant for! Not NLUs where rates of fraud are relatively low anyway. But you cannot make rules for one uni and not another.

And oh BCI should do random spot checks - honestly that’s a really bad way to ensure we’re preventing fraud and a really good way to allow BCI guys to charge bribes for unseeing violations. That’s basically the system we have now and it doesn’t work. Maybe tech driven record keeping that is hard to fudge might actually bring some honesty back.

And those saying teaching faculty should have to clock in and out : yes. Why not ? Too many professors cancel classes for half of the term and barely teach for the other half. Maybe they need to worry that someone is looking over their shoulder a bit. Too many VCs don’t do their jobs- maybe a basic check on hours in office / on official business is actually not a bad idea. Maybe performance reviews aren’t a bad idea. VCs act like they’re kings without any accountability and spend their time in office looking for their next job or trying to pocket money. I don’t trust them as far as I could throw them. Best case - they treat it like a vacation, a pre retirement retirement . I don’t want my fees to pay for someone’s lavish vacation type lifestyle. You get pensions at the end of your tenure if you’ve earned them but we already have too little money in higher ed to spend it on big salaries for VCs and (some) deans and emeritus faculty who don’t do much. I’d rather these people be held accountable and be made to do work. And if they fail- I’d rather that money go to funding legal education for poor students.

Is it feasible to start my career under an MP who is also a practicing lawyer at the Supreme Court?.

i’ll be privy to national politics and could potentially start my own chambers after 5 years of being a junior. Also, I could potentially contests LS & RS elections in 2029 & 2031, provided that I be an asset to the party.

PS: The party in question is a State level party.

how exactly did he wash his hands? not to disregard the victim's experience, but this is just an anonymous post on the internet. If it isn't true, then the potential liability would fall on Kian, as you mentioned. He's just looking after himself. Although I do agree he could be more sensitive with his words.

"...but hope SOMEONE can give some assistance or help."
I can understand not being able to publish the names on account of potential liability but it is detestable how easily you washed your hands from a victim of SA who reached out for help. Did not expect this from you Kian.

RG Kar happened recently. SH matter went to HC in early 2024 and is presently before a DB.

DYC has shared stage with CM during Cal HC events. And CM didn't have to hijack anything. VC owes his job to her acolytes.

And let's not deify DYC. We have enough deities and messengers of God already.

It is something else. Maybe DYC doesn't like VC and feels NUJS deserves better. But state wants NKC and his clones to continue. And there is little DYC can do when DD, SS and KD combine.

Not at all.

1. The SH controversy erupted only lately. He has been doing this throughout his tenure as CJI.

2 and 3. He has sat with the CM in this very year in public platforms in Kolkata itself. He even came to within 1 km of the university but chose not to visit it. He keeps visiting other universities on random occasions and shares stages with other controversial political figures. For crying out aloud, he invited Modi to his home for a puja!

It does. NUJS has done so too. However, that does not answer the question why the Chancellor is neglecting his duties. If he could not come himself, then he could have easily deputed another SC judge to fill in his stead. That has been done plenty of times in the past. This was a deliberate slight by DYC. A lot of students consider convocation a special occasion, for many it represents the only university degree award ceremony that they get to experience for themselves and their parents. Not holding it means betraying their emotions. They don't deserve that.

Same false promises have been made this year too. Increments were promised to be disbursed by Aug 16 but no one has got them till date.

Purpose of delay is to make interest on the buy from Luthra's family and exploit the juniors. Not a fair management / leadership style.
