I know that most of the students from 2026 batch are placed at respectable places. However, me, being a somewhat introverted guy, is in dismay as to what will happen in the upcoming Day Zero for my batch scheduled next year. I barely have any connections and an overwhelming majority do—judging from how they procured T1 internships this sem break. People have done so many moots/adr/publications and I have nothing on my CV. Plus, I am quite sub-standard in speaking english fluently since I grew up in a small city in a state board school where no one had an exposure to the kind of language that is required to even survive in this field. Idek what lies ahead for me.

I know that I am somewhat capable since I cleared CLAT and got an admission here w/o any quota but still I feel I lagged behind tremendously. I did nothing in my life school life. Not even fun like others. i feel that I absolutely wasted my seat that I wished someone else would’ve taken in order to thrive at such a valuable place.

What should I honestly do? Idek if I should sit for placements since my rank is at rock bottom and I don’t have anything to showcase to make up for it either. Moreover, getting a similar crowd at T1 firms is something that I don’t want when I will be in complete agony again. I feel completely lost as to what I want to do myself when most have figured it out already. Litigation is a no go due to plethora of obvious reasons that you guys must’ve figured out by now.

Needed genuine advice. Will appreciate if anyone from the legal fraternity (students are also welcome) could share their insights. Thank you :)
