Recruitment Interviews : JOB We Met

With the start of recruitment process, I see people around me attending regular classes till 3, special classes till 7, doing some thing or the other till library is open and then brushing up on Contract and Company law all night long.They probably have a harder 24 hours in a day than ATS Chief Jai Singh Rathore.

 I can so imagine an average NLU student narrating the scenario in Anil Kapoor's voice on Day Zero ( Powered by Toyota Corolla Altis) -
 " Batch Mein Recruitment Process start ho gaya hai ! Top rankers ne Library Hijack kar rakhi hai aur har taraf se TOPA SOGA aur Company's Act  ki Awazein Aaa rahi hain. Lower ranked students ki Zindagi khatre mein hai. Main, still hopeful average NLU Student, Aur yeh meri zindagi ke sabse Mushkil 24 Ghante ! "



Just when you started to regret the choice of your Honor's course, you are already answerable to these Firms and Companies regarding The 2013 Amendment, Favorite Football Club, Current Location of MH 370 and your Bra size.

The atmosphere created by these interviewers makes you question the very existence of your life in a law school in particular and this Planet in general. Only answer you can be sure of is your name. You cant even answer your batch or semester confidently In this administration.



All the recruiters have a fixed pattern of question that is really irritating and should be banned. Even they know that no one answers them honestly. I really want to give my next interview in this manner. That's the dream :-

Interviewer : Mr. NGS, please tell us why did you choose our Firm ?

Me: Uhmmm Sir..Actually I dont give a fuck about your firm, Its just the money. I would've happily worked for Brazzers if they offered me job and same money. And yes you better be quick coz I have to prepare for my other interviews.


Interviewer : Okay, so tell us where do you see yourself Three years down the line

Me: Well, To be very frank, I see myself protesting outside VC's office to cancel my debarment in the last chance to pass out of college. By the way I have not even planned whether tonight I will watch Ragini MMS 2 or Ramsay's Neighbours - They are Vampires. And trust me sir, this is the stupidest question ever. Imagine where would YoKejriwalSoHonest  be, had he answered that question honestly for his TISCO Interview.


Interviewer : Alright Mr. NGS, lets get serious now.Which Area of Law interests you the most ?

Me : Area Kutton ke hote hain Sir Ji, Sher ke nahin. By the way last time I read anything about law was while preparing for CLAT and I still believe that KG Balakrishnan is our CJI and Naveen Chawla is our CEC, so I think Torts will be my answer. And living in NLU Jodhpur Hostels has given me  fair idea about Salmond's Pigeon hole theory.


Now the moment he switches to Technical questions, I will start bluffing him, and I want him to take out his idea mobile, rise from his chair and start dancing to the tune of - No Ullu Banaoing !! No Ullu Banaoing !!



Well Jokes apart, This semester is coming to an end and I am having weird feelings. Most of our batchmates will be placed and settled. Rest of us will be smiling and congratulating them while accepting the fact that  they've earned  it and that we have been lazier than Breaking Bad's hair stylist.


 I have been really close to the present 5th year batch and with the end of this semester the'll be leaving in 49 days. Good part is that I still have same number of days with them as Kejriwal's Chief Ministerial period. Hope this also gets action packed and happening like Delhi Government.

 I just want to quote this dialogue from Highway “Jahan se  mujhe laaye ho wahan mein wapas jaana nahi chahta aur jahan tum mujhe le ja rahe ho wahan pahuchana nahi chahta …bas pasand hai ye rasta…chahta hun bas ye rasta kabhi khatam na ho.”
