Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Option 1 : BA (Hons.) + 3 Year LLB from NLSIU
* The BA is a new program started by NLSIU, and honestly the only reason I'm looking towards it is because of the connections I can gather from the NLSIU outreach as well as an increased chance of me doing a 3 year LLB from there as well, as a few seats for the program will be kept for students who've graduated from the BA (Hons.) program.
* Do a qualification like the CS or CFA during both my degrees at a good pace, intern like hell during the LLB, and then basically kiss all the asses I need to in order to secure a PPO in the 6 years I will be in college.
* Risky, but unfortunately one of the few I have.
Option 2: Drop/ Partial Drop, try CLAT again
* dont need to delve into this years CLAT fiasco, and I dont really prefer this because I'm afraid of it happening once more.
* If i score well, all good. if not, i go to a reputed private uni's BA LLB (ahem Christ) and basically just start a year behind.
* Or combine this path with option 1, make it so that I can do a partial drop while studying the BA from NLS, and if CLAT 2026 goes to shit, I have option 1 to fall back on.
I want to build my life in India, but I dont want to close any doors which may allow me to practice in the UK in the future.
Havent been able to sleep most nights, petrified by the irregularity of my future when compared to my peers.
I know its a tall ask, but please help a brother out
College brand matters A LOT.
Now wrt how to proceed - try joining Christ/Other privates this year, and reattempt CLAT.
But know that the only way to leave India is to be from NLS/NLUD/NALSAR/NUJS/GNLU/NLUJ and Jindal. Anywhere else and your odds are too low.
What matters most is having LLM or not...
