Second, in terms of work, you will be hands on board, running from post to pillar depending on your work. If it's criminal, then it's more exhausting or exciting, to visit police station, court, client, scene of incident etc. In civil, more like walking from chamber to court. It's more "happening" than sitting in a cubicle for life.
Moreover, you've got what everyone needs. A mentor, a financial support, a foot in the door by being a 2nd gen advocate. You just need to learn the trade.
I loved litigation, much better than sitting at my desk from sunrise to sunset. However I'm a first gen and in the end I needed the money. And only reason I went back is cause of financial reason and an independent practice that I knew needed years more.
You're in the best position. Practice in corporate to get a feel and make money. When you're bored of it all, come back to court and practice litigation.
The only reason people don't take up litigation is money. Otherwise great place to be in.
Provided you have 1600s Rank, you can get MNLU Nagpur/CNLU/ Other Tier 3 NLUs. I beleive MNLUN or CNLU are better than TNNLU. If you find it well, you may decide on your own.
Talking about NRI, If your parents can give 40 Lakh without any external help, go ahead. But if not, then it's dicey.
And to be true, everywhere it's your own capability to fetch internships either by contacts or by hardwork. There is no substitute to it.
One more advice, Nowadays law students are just "adviced" by a HNLU Bhaiya, Don't waste your money and all for "advice", apart from his advice also look towards your own situation, and various perspectives.
And getting into any NLU doesn't even ensures your internships, Placement ki toh baat Jane do. So, please be wise while making choices. All the best!
