1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

Ask around your college seniors about such lawyers who are good to work under. As in, seniors who are helpful in mentoring you about law. Ofcourse your work will be more clerical but some seniors will have occasional conversations with you, sometimes give you research work, mentor you, etc.
Use your first years time to get a good understanding of constitution law, figuring out how to read bare acts and books, etc.
join debating, mooting and other clubs. These have helped me in becoming a better critical thinker, in a way no other thing I have done has.
If finances are not an issue you get online courses on researching case laws, etc which you can do to learn more practical skills.
To fill up your cv maybe you can add links to some blogs that you write on LinkedIn if you can’t publish it in journals
What I'm currently trying - looking from alumni from my institute who have internships which I want, and then looking at the path they took before that. Send a few of them a connect request, and ask politely for guidance
