Pls don't rant about the fact that you hate your corporate law job here and try to get me off the path.
Do not think about how to get into a T-1 Law firm, at least at this point of time. First I would suggest, if you get SLS Pune, go for it. If you want to focus in giving another shot at CLAT, go for it, but be aware the volatility of this exam. If you crack CLAT and get into a decent NLU, focus on getting good. Experiment with your interest and necessity. Participate in competitions, do decent internships if not the best T1s, because you never know, your grades can help you jump ahead of the queue. By the end of your 3rd Year/Beginning of your 4th year, make a decision what do you want to pursue.
I would strongly recommend you not to look for job prospect right now, at least jumping into the bandwagon of Corporate Law Firms and law firm internships is futile at the moment [there is no early start advantage in this field, especially those seeking jobs in law firms: telling you from experience]. So, go slow, and enjoy as you go along the road.
What I would do in your place is do a BA and then try to do the llb from campus law centre, or do the BA LLB at GLC. theyll let you intern all year around. And that if anything makes your job prospects much better.
