I would be a first gen lawyer, but I do come from a very privileged family that is among the corporate hotshots of India
So I’ll be completing ISC 12th in like 1.5 months and am gonna pursue law as a profession.
I have 3 broad options but I don’t know what to choose. I’d really really appreciate it if yall could help me out.
1. I’ll get into NLU Jodhpur or Kolkota with NRI quota, take that and study there.
2. Go for Jindal Law School.
3. Get into GLC/random uni, but intern a senior partner at Khaitan for 5 years full time/intern at the chambers of AM Sanghvi/H Salve/Sibal (we have family connections)

I think it’s important to note that as far as internships are concerned, we have quite a few good connections so I can get pretty good internships in India and abroad as well.
———
With that out of the way, I want to do an MBA post law is that a wise option? I’m presuming my resume will be good enough to be accepted into any Ivy/Oxbridge/tier 1 uni because it is that good for undergrad as well.
———
Now for my actual career path,
I have 2 things in mind,
1. The corporate law path— I’ll likely make a partner in 8-10 years, and may start a boutique firm a few years post that.
2. the litigation path- work at the chambers of some of the best lawyers in India, and maybe 4-5 years later start my own practice at bombay HC or the SC.
3. My own business, my parents have excellent industry connections in the heavy industry and finance world, so with their knowledge and help I will likely be able to start my own industry and stuff.
Ideally, I’d want to start a heavy Industry—something in shipping, mining, chemicals, metals etc. these are industries I have a family background in.

Could y’all please please help me out with this please? Thanks!!
Take nluj through nri qouta and then figure things out over the course of the next 5 yrs. Since u will be graduating from one of the top law schools, I think most options will be open for you.
