Same as the title- I mean the Sibals, Rohatgis of the legal world, even seniors like Raj Shekhar, Ritin, Nayar, etc? It’s all purely reference based.

Where is the scope for first gen lawyers?
Joining the chambers of competent and rising junior lawyers is almost always a better idea
It is much much easier if you have a clerkship tag or come from a top NLU or have worked in a Tier 1 firm, otherwise very tough to break into these chambers.
I check all three boxes but my experience thus far has just been disappointing
Sadly, there is no such concept as getting into such chambers on "merit alone".
