I also got in christ blr but missed the payment daedline. Now the only options that i have left are local colleges in kolkata and sls noida. I never really wanted to come to this legal field in the first place, but basically my family wants me to go for law school. My only goal for right now is to secure some sort of decently paying corporate job and stay as far away from court practise and judiciary exams as possible. The way I look at it, I have to ways of going about it
a) Join local college and prepare for CSEET and CLAT, in case i fail to secure good clat rank again I can go ahead with company secretary course
b) SLS Noida, work my ass off to get some internships and ultimately secure good PPO. (maybe try for clat again, tho idk with the all the shifting and adjusting if thats gonna be possible)
Another thing to keep in mind is SLS noida is a bit expensive for us, we might need to pay a part of total fee with loan, and I dont know if its even worth that price. Like sure it has "location advantage" and "Symbiosis brand"(if that even is a thing), the fear of not securing a job kills me. What should be my course of action in this scenario?
Now, if you are actually serious about CLAT and want to give it a shot, you could join a local college in Cal like CU or Xavier's. There are CU alums who are working in law firms, so their perception isn't all that bad. And the attendance requirement is pretty low+ you would be at home which gives you quite a bit of time to prep for CLAT. Fees would be negligible, so won't matter either. And honestly, if you do prep sincerely for a few months, you would easily end up with a decent rank. Ultimately, you would at least be somewhere like NLUO or RMLNLU at worst and a t-1 like NLS or NUJS. I think the second option makes more sense, but again, if you are not quite "take a drop" type and want to go live the Symbi life, you could give that a shot as well.
