I'm ashamed and angry at myself, that it was so easy, and I could've gotten good grades each sem yet I chose not. It's such that, the students around my batch rank can't even frame sentences properly(and other reasons by which they have this rank) and I feel like I could've easily done better but now I'm here.
I've started taking studies seriously this semester, and I'll really appreciate any advice, especially these questions:
1. Can a student in the bottom fourth of the batch get a placement in tier 1 firm? Or, if they reach the top fourth or the top half, is it only possible then? On which basis should are placements done?
2. Studying tips to get the highest grade. How many hours do I need to study? How should I study? I've started properly reading textbooks like pollock and mulla etc but what else can be done?
3. How much is moot court valued? Even though my grades are low, I've done about 4 to 5 moot court competitions, because I liked doing them more as to me, they involved more critical thinking and I like the fact you draft everything by yourself and there's no one to help you, whereas in studying for grades you're mugging topics up to write in the exams.
Thank you.
2. improve the way you write answers, ask a friendly senior how to write for specific professors
3. not sure, they do impart useful skills but as far as getting you a job only winning or breaking in a few international moots would really make a big difference afaik
