Mallu-Fide Intent

Many students appearing in the DU LLB Entrance examination may be veterans at competitive examinations. Some students may have repeatedly given (and cleared) tough exams such as JEE, AIEEE, AIPMT, UPSC Civil Services Exams, State PSC exams, SSC CGL, Bank PO etc. However, it has been observed that a vast majority of the test takers are fresh graduates from commerce and arts streams, who may have never taken a national level competitive exam of this nature before. There are certain factors that set this exam apart from , say, a board examination of CBSE or the State Boards. Before we move to the challenges, it is to be noted that the exam is of 400 marks.

Coaching is not required, but discipline is. If you find that attending coaching classes is the only way to bring discipline to your preparations, then by all means

Justice Chandrachud, of the Supreme Court recently made the following remark in Court - "Let us not reduce the dialogue in this court to the level of fish market".  In doing so, he followed the example every single school teacher in India. Every school teacher has, at some point of time, compared his/her class to a fish market.  Unfortunately, Justice Chandrachud's remarks caught the attention of the fisherfolk community. They have now demanded an apology from him in open court. Thankfully, proceedings in classrooms are not made public. If that were the case, lots of sirs and madams would also have been called upon to explain themselves. A fish market is not unique in being a noisy place. Vegetable markets, fruit markets and even Sarojini Nagar are equally, if not more, noisy. Why then, are fish markets singled out by teachers and judges? It is indeed unfair. Next time fish markets get too noisy, will the fish sellers be justified in announcing ,"Kindly tal
