What kind of hardships do students suffer in top law colleges like NLSIU, Nalsar or NUJS?
One of my friends studied at NUJS. According to her, hardships have varied reasons from academics to personal.
- The Cases/readings are worth easily 500 pages every day, preparing summaries/case briefs, Tutorials and then projects, presentations, vivas, and the tiring final semesters all comprise the academic hardships.
- Due to internships, you will miss your vacations. Internships are a temporary glimpse into what life will be like.
- After getting the grind to excel and to get placed / PPOs, some students suffer from existential crises, emotional upheavals, urge for infinite sabbaticals, etc.
- The burden of studies and placements takes a toll on your personal life.
- Case briefs become a reason for discord rather than unity.
- The healthy competition suddenly gets replaced by a rat race.
Lastly, all the things like hobbies, extra-curricular, etc. disappear. But even after all the hardships, it still is the best time of a student’s life at NLSIU.
