Being dependant on placements is not the best strategy in this college. Hasn’t stopped the good students from starting off their careers in T-1s and T-2s through PPOs though.
Haa EY aayega 6-7 bacche le jaayega for 70k a month. (Mostly women)
If not, then try to do well academically and prepare your cv in the first two years of law school, by mooting/debating or publishing articles. Concentrate on publishing analytical articles instead of research papers (unless you wish to pursue academics or do LLM right after college). Reason why i am stressing on this, is because, you can use these publications to network with professionals on linkedin etc. Nobody is going to read your research paper and give you a review on it, but people can easily skim through a 1k-1.2k word article and give you a review. this can help you break ice with professionals. (Trust me, i have done this. it even helped me get an assessment internship at a pretty good law firm).
3rd year onwards, start applying for internship vigorously. Start from T2/T3 firms, try to convert them into assessments. Its perfectly fine if you are not able to bag a T1 right out of college. A lot of seniors switch to T1s easily after a year.
DO NOT RELY ON THE PLACEMENT CELL FOR A JOB. Mere time par EY just took 2 kids. lol.
Remember, you are on your own. It might be difficult, but it is not impossible.
More than 45 people appeared in the interview for Panag and Babu for only one position and that too was already pre - determined. As for other companies/firms, barely one or two people are hired for 40-45k package. EY hired 4 people from my batch but again, they all were in some quasi legal role.
And FYI, average package is calculated of only those people who got placement (which is a significantly lower percentage).
There are so many students who got misled by this report and made the unfortunate decision to join this college.
Only Symbi worth going is Pune. Noida and others useless
I was average in studies but I was aware of this fact so I put all of my energy in figuring out my interest area ASAP. I used to read in my interest area and kept applying for internships. I interned with a few startups, in-house, Tier-1/2 firms.
Just before graduation, I bagged a few interviews from Tier-1 firms, couldn't clear any. Joined an in house, worked there for a year and then left to join a descent firm (Tier 1 in my practice area).
My journey isn't ideal but what I can tell you is that consistency and knowledge will not go in vain.
Don't be so stressed, everything will be aligned provided that you are consistent.
