This would be very first t-1 internship, I'm in my 7th sem and would love to hear what are the things I should be well versed with? (laws/drafting/researching/anything..)

How did you get it bud. I applied 5 times and got rejected in a week

Connections bud

Correct

Is Saraf tier-1? I don't think so.

It is t1 for a few practice areas like b & f, litigation,projects, not across all practice groups

Lit and Projects, yes. Banking, no. Saraf M&A is doing poorly, major clients have withdrawn mandates

It has all the who's who in their b&f team. Jhawar,abir dey etc to name a few

the who's who of bnf are found in Wadia Ghandy. the people you mention are hardly given THE work

Vaibhav's team is the exception when it comes to numbers. Indeed a true rainmaker.

Still what should be the basics one should be equipped with?

Bump

how was your internship? can you please share your learnings
