Hey there.
Well, that could be good as much as a saying is for in real this can't be the case. There is common saying about lawyers that good liars make good lawyers. By being a liar you basically end up doing a professional misconduct and that is not ethical even. You may take up a case who is believed to be an offender, but as a general rule no one is guilty until proven. Thus, there is nothing as such and one should not have this ideology while opting law as a career.
A good lawyer need to be witty and must have tact, but lying is not something that falls within the ethics of a lawyer or the profession.
Moreover, you might be presumed to be lying but as far as you prove anything with the evidences you can't be deemed a liar.
Please get rid of this and make sure that not every liar makes good lawyer, rather a person having good knowledge of subject makes him a good lawyer.

The topics that are mostly asked for in the GD and PI at Symbiosis are the contemporary issues i.e. ongoing issues.
For eg., For 2018 interviews topics such as Doklam India China Issue, Rohingya Crisis, India's Foreign Policy, Triple Talaq Judgement, Right To Privacy Judgement, National Anthem Judgement, issues like Gender Equality, LGBT rights and GST are very important.
Basically, during GDs your general awareness is tested.
So, reading newspaper and following burning topics would help you.
Also, the PI is basically opinion based, thus you must have your own conclusions and opinions on topics.
Also, your ideology must be progressive and you must be able to justify what you say and be able to substantiate by citing reasons as well.
So, for PI you must be confident in whatever you say even if it is wrong.
For 2018, the above mentioned topics are important as of now and also do follow the newspaper and recent developments and other incidents that take place and have some relation with law.

Hey there,
Becoming Mr. Ramjethmalani or Mr. Arun Jaitley takes nothing more than the devotion and discipline to the profession and above all an extensive experience.
To become a successful lawyer, you need to abide by the constitution of India as well as the Advocates act of India.
Beside this, you must not be the one committing professional misconduct thus work ethics are needed.
If you go through the works of Mr. Jethmalani or Mr. Jaitley, you can find no occasion where a professional misconduct took place.
Also, both have been ethical lawyers.
Thus, besides having knowledge of law, articulation ability is much required.
A successful lawyer is one who has strong ethics adhered to laws of land himself and also does nothing to detriment the law.
However, that does not mean defending an offender is wrong.
So, you need to be witty, must have tacts, honest to the profession, must have the knowledge and as Justice Frankfurter has laid down, you must follow the lamps of advocacy and also the principles of ethical lawyering as American Bar Association prescribes must be adhered to.

Hello,
Well, scoring a top rank at law entrance exam doesn't have to do anything with your career as such. Also, the ranks in college do not matter. However, you are judged bases on your percentage in your college but believe me that does not declare your abilities.
For a lawyer, you need to know the law well with all details and cases and also, you must be thorough with substantive as well as procedural law and the advocates act of India.
For a successful lawyer, you need to have an articulation capacity of next level and you must be witty enough to handle the case, client and situations.
It is not necessary that a topper can do all.
However, at a Law school if you do a lot of moot court practice that would be the best help.
Every mooter is not a topper and vice versa.
So, at a law school, you must focus on moot court competition which would help you build the base for the career as a lawyer or advocate.
Also, as a lawyer, you just need to know and apply law.

Asian Law College, Noida does not offer LLM.
According to their official website, there are only two courses that they offer that is BALLB and LLB and I have checked their website right now.
Even if they offer LLM you should prefer Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University because the fee is very nominal in Ambedkar Law College.
Secondly, you have variety of courses for LLM there and you can choose whatever you want.
There are nine departments. Yes, that's correct- nine departments such as department of business law, department of criminal law, administrative law, environmental law, constitutional law and a lot more.
Tamil Nadu's Ambedkar Law University is a lot more famous than Asian Law College.
They publish a quarterly newsletter where you can be a writer as well.
They have a very good library also that has more than 30000 books and more than 7000 total journals including online and offline.
But, you might get good infrastructure in Asian Law College but overall Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University is better.

Ok, so without any further ado, let me tell you that life at an NLU is an eye opening experience. Indeed, college life is an experience of a life time but as a budding lawyer studying at a National Law University, the chances of being shaken to your core and being challenged in every aspect is very likely.
Here, one will learn (if one wishes to) how to balance academics and co-curricular activities. One will learn that time management is of utmost importance and while maintaining good grades consistently is important, debates and mooting should take an upper berth as they will help you to hone your oratory skills and bring out the lawyer in.
Law school will teach you to survive in the most pathetic conditions, to eat the most inedible food, to learn how to accommodate with people and their absurd attitudes and beliefs and often assimilate. Life at a NLU will shake your beliefs and challenge you intellectually. There will be people with whom one will share a life time of a bond and with others, it might be a more cordial relationship. Enemies might be there but that's when a lawyer's diplomacy comes to aid.
NLUs will give you plenty of opportunities to grow, if one wishes to grab them. Academic, culture, sports, debating, etc. everything will be there for everybody to decide what their forte is.
Basically, life in a NLU is simply amazing, magical and worth the pain and effort it takes to get in there.

Dr. Ambedkar Law University are both reputed colleges and provide good placement opportunities to their students. GGSIU is better than Dr. Ambedkar Law University but if a preference has to be made, one should consider other factors to decide other than placements. Other factors may include location, fee etc. One need to give weightage to this fact that one college is in the northern part whereas the other one is in the south.

This may sound clich but the ultimate success is in the hand of the students especially in the field of law.

Hi there,
Well, the choice between these two colleges is not difficult as per me as both of them are not much known for law as such though are good institutes. However, VIT University, Chennai is much preferred for B.Tech courses and also, it has better infrastructure, faculties and placements.
Now, if you were to choose between these two, then on the basis of faculties, infrastructure and the placements, VIT would be a good choice.
They have some very good recruiters for other fields of education which makes it likely to have good placement for law as well.
Also, the infrastructure is amazing which certainly helps you throughout your years of studies.
Hooghly Mohsin College is not a college that people take names of in terms of law even though it is an older institute compared to VIT.
But as of present status, the opportunities at VIT in terms of placements and exposure would be better. Thus, it must be preferred over.
