Is it even possible to get internships at decent law firms leave alone tier 1 or tier 2 firms if you don't have any connections or references. been trying to get secure some but the firms do not even care to reply to the mails. while some of my batchmates who are absolutely dumb, have nothing in their cv are securing internships at khaitan and other places, we, who do not have any references or connections do not get even a rejection reply..
So, once you stop feeling sorry for yourself, then maybe you can spend the time to figure out why your strategy isn't working - there are likely many reasons why that is happening. For example, if your resume, or the email which contains the resume, is drafted anything like this rant, then you will be rejected. You probably are not sending the resume well in advance, timing it around when firms consider interns for open internship slots, etc.
All of this assumes that your resume is at least half-decent - if not, then that is the place to start.
