We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

i have been debarred from taking my exams on account of having very low attendance and presumably will also be made to repeat the year meaning i will be graduating law school in six years and im just curious as to how this is going to be affecting my life, my prospects and my career and how big a deal it is and how worried i should be about it.
i will sincerely appreciate any inputs because im genuinely clueless about the whole thing
Focus on learning as much as you can.
Training contracts: TCs are offered to students from a select few colleges only. The UK firms that do offer Vac Schemes and TCs to Indian students expect perfect CVs so this may be a problem for TCs.
How do such people face their parents? The money their parents flushed in, the least one can do is be a good student, attend classes and do well in exams.
Maybe law school isn't for you, this is your sign to drop out and follow something which is more in your forte.
Coming to the question, well getting debarred from lack of attendence , the consequences are not bad as getting debarred from malpractices or mis conduct. It's just what you do from now that matters.
It won't cost you much to be at least a little kind.
I am from a T-1 NLU and have gotten a year loss as I couldn't attend a whole semester due to medical reasons. Will it affect my chances of getting internships or placements? I have a decent CGPA (Top 20%) with good co-curriculars.
