2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

PS: Please don't bother commenting how I'm only increasing braindrain and should stay in India, which seems to be a common trend on this site. I have my personal reasons for wanting to leave which I do not wish to further elaborate.
1. try for a training contract at a magic circle firm in the penultimate year of the law school
2. get two years work experience in India, then do SQE and shift to the UK as a solicitor
3. do GDL, then the bar course and then pupillage to become a barrister in the UK
4. do LLM, PhD and become an academic
for all the above keep focus on your academics (try to stay within the top 20% of the batch), publish a couple of papers (preferably in a scopus listed journal, co-authored will be fine), win some prize (any co-extra curricular would be fine)
speak to seniors from your uni who had taken any of the paths above
If you cannot afford a US MBA, consider EU, Canada, Aus, NZ and UAE.
Step 1: Intern with Karuna Nundy, Vrinda Grover etc.
Step 2: Do an LLM in human rights law with full scholarship. Write an LLM scholarship application declaring yourself to be a social engineer interested in intersectional feminism, transgender rights, patriarchy, caste and structural violence
Step 3: Get a job with Amnesty, Ford Foundation etc and make a living trashing Modi.
Please don't say that you only want to move to western nations. Use your law degree for the betterment of the world.
