Students from South Kashmir have raised genuine concerns over the University of Kashmir’s decision to shift Law semester examination centres from South Campus to the Main Campus, Srinagar.
For students from Anantnag, Pulwama, Shopian and other districts, this move means long travel distances, additional expenses and unnecessary hardship during examinations. The South Campus had successfully served as an examination centre in previous semesters, including 2025.
The University administration should reconsider this decision and restore the examination centre at South Campus in the larger interest and convenience of students. @OmarAbdullah@CM_JnK
1/2We respectfully submit that the students of South Kashmir have requested Kashmir University to allot the examination centre at South Campus, considering the distance and travel difficulties.
@DCAnantnag@DrBilalbhatIAS@sakinaitoo@OfficeOfLGJandK@OmarAbdullah 2/2 However, the University has not accepted our request and has directed us to appear at the main campus. This causes considerable inconvenience, especially due to the ongoing Amarnath Yatra and traffic restrictions. We therefore seek your kind intervention in this matter.
For the last couple of days, social media is flooded with posts highlighting the struggle and hard work of intern doctors receiving a stipend of ₹12,500. No doubt, they work hard and deserve respect. But why does nobody talk about the silent suffering of law students, especially BALLB graduates?
A BALLB student spends 5 long years sacrificing the most precious phase of life. Ten exhausting semesters, hundreds of subjects, sleepless nights before exams, endless case studies, drafting, internships, and court visits. Every 2–3 months there is another semester pressure waiting. Families invest lakhs with the hope that their child will have a dignified future. But what happens after graduation?
After completing the degree, instead of getting respect or opportunities, many young lawyers are forced to beg seniors just to “adjust” them in chambers so they can continue learning. Some are made to work entire days for ₹200–₹300, and on many days not even that. Despite handling client pressure, court stress, mental exhaustion, and public expectations, there is no stipend policy, no security, no support system, and no political voice speaking for them.
Our politicians only remember educated youth during elections. They make promises of employment and empowerment, but after elections, thousands of law graduates are left abandoned in court corridors struggling for survival. No debates in assemblies, no schemes for young advocates, no financial assistance, no dignity for the people who are supposed to fight for justice in society.
The reality is painful many young lawyers lose not just their youth, but also their confidence, mental peace, and family stability while trying to establish themselves. Society claps for every profession, but the struggle of a first generation lawyer remains invisible.
If governments can discuss stipends and welfare for other professional courses, then why is there complete silence on the condition of young advocates and BALLB graduates? Why is there no structured support for them? Why are educated youth expected to survive on humiliation and exploitation after dedicating 5 years of life to legal education?
A nation that ignores its young lawyers is silently weakening the future of justice itself.

Over the past few days, scores of students from KU & private law colleges have reached out to us regarding the sudden & steep hike in examination fees — from ₹1725 to ₹2350, and ₹1100 per subject for backlog students.

We, MAITRI workers, play a crucial role in rural India’s livestock care. Yet, we face no fixed income and struggle to provide for our families with inconsistent payments. It’s impossible to sustain ourselves under these conditions.
