Hi fellow fishies!
Can someone please explain what is “SUPPLEMENTARY allowance” in my payslip??? It is the highest in my entire payslip, more than basic salary. Basic is lets say ₹7 lac annually and supplementary bonus is ₹7 lac 40 thousand.
Can someone please explain why this exists in my paylslip, is it good or bad from tax perspective and shall I ask my HR to decrease it???
Please help asap.

You can’t treat anything law school related the way most people treated class in undergrad. Don’t just go through the motions thinking you’ll study for the test. Show up prepared everyday, even if that means you have to read it 3 or 4 times.

This! Law school doesn’t lecture like undergrad. They ask “ok, so what questions did you have about the reading? Oh no one wants to volunteer? Ok then I’m going to pick a victim at random and cross-examine them.”
You have to struggle through the material, put it in your own words, distill the concept to a bullet point, make sure you understand how that bullet point fits with all the other bullet points, and then be prepared to ask those more nuanced questions.
What is this program?

The LSAT tests the exact cognitive skills the bar exam depends on: parsing dense text, spotting logical flaws, applying rules under time pressure, eliminating attractive wrong answers. No doubt the tests have different subject matters, but the reasoning mechanics are the exact same.
What’s crazy is the LSAT is VERY good at isolating that raw “analytical processing under time pressure” skill without requiring any prior legal knowledge. This isn’t my opinion, it’s a known fact. Schools that accept applicants with lower LSAT scores have higher rates of failing the bar, students dropping out, students losing GPA scholarships, etc.
JDNext seems to test whether you can learn law school material, which is necessary but not sufficient. I’d surmise thats why so few schools actually admit JDNext students.
This doesn’t mean your dream is dead; but JDN is not the “alternative” its representing itself to be.

Not all law schools accept this.

I again agree with SC1, there really should be no "hurdles" to getting into law school. Its not the hard part. Law school and the bar are the hurdles to becoming an attorney, that's the hard part. If you cant get into law school using traditional methods that may be a sign that you won't be successful. Entrance standards are designed to populate schools with students that will be successful, i.e. graduate and pass the bar. There are no alternatives to the exams during school or the bar exam. If you cant get your lsat up, I really would urge you to think about whether this is a good move for you.
