This thread has been made for any relevant information and updates regarding both the Linklaters and HSF Kramer India Internships for November 2026 and June-July 2027 respectively.
from what i've seen in past years, pretty sure replies from Links will be around July-August (July if you're rejected, mid-August if you're proceeding to the interview round)
oh but afaik, they send an update 2 weeks post deadline?
for HSF Kramer, I received an email that, I have passed their deadline and my application will now be reviewed.
sorry in my last message i meant to say i passed their benchmark, my assessment was easy, did you receive any confirmation as well?
do they tell you if you are rejected? i heard they only tell if you are getting an invite?
looking back this is a bit funny coz its september already
HSFK Sova assessment is slop. The feedback is mechanically generic and almost instant, like some numbers move the moment you hit submit and you are told to improve on almost all parameters.

LL cappfinity is great.
I'm so worried about Links AC, has anyone received any update? 😭
Linklaters typically takes 6-8 weeks to review all applications for the India internship program. No need to worry. Any AC updates will not come before late July- early August, apparently.
They did yes, July 7 2025, and rejections rolled out by July 15, 2025
yes its delayed this year, but should be here by today or tomorrow i.e 16-17th july.
nope, i dont think Links invites are out yet - has anyone received any update ? Please update
No one who visits Legally India is making it to these firms let’s be realπŸ˜­πŸ™πŸΌ
you never know (as someone who attended AC last year)
why are people so so mean here, this thread is for genuine updates on our applications, let's just stick to that. Thank you.
Typing this out from the office of a magic circle firm in London. Legally India is part of the holy trinity of "news" pages I check every morning.
Of course because that response was clearly meant as a flex and not to point out the error in the OP's ways
HSF is sending emails for successful applicants; i got one today
i had my HR interview conducted last Wednesday, still awaiting the results. they said they'll get back to me by the end of this week, and if I make it through then the next and final round is between 19-25 august. i'm from jgls
I heard that people have started receiving telephonic interview invites
+1, has Links released any invites or is it just HSF?
Which colleges have received so far? Or is the process for sending out invites over?
Does anyone know how many people get selected for the interview and how many of them are finally taken into the program?
Had two ques:-

1. Are they sending invites on a rolling basis or do they send all together?

2. If you are not selected, by when do you get the rejection emails, considering that people have started getting invites.
people are getting rejections mails so maybe by the end of this week
People are starred getting rejections mails for links???

Guys please mention HSF or LINKS on your message to avoid confusion.
has anyone received any update from linklaters ? acceptance, rejection, update anything? please update
Nothing yet but when I joined their webinar they said ac’s would be in early August so I’m really worried
Any update from links, has anyone tried mailing trainee recruitment?
What’s happening with Links ? Has anyone gotten an update ?
can the moderation be a bit speed up for this post please
I got an update . I copied it below

Hello,Thank you for your email.

We're still in the process of reviewing applications. We will be in touch with the feedback on your application in due course. We appreciate your patience.
it has been forever, what is taking them so long, there has been no update from Linklaters asw
Is this from HSF? Please mention which firm you're talking about.
could you please send an update when replies come in
Any update from links on when ac invites would sent it’s been 6 weeks or more already
You mean the invite to apply or has that already passed and this is AC invite?
stop the cap, the application deadline hasn't passed. They don't review applications on a rolling basis.
someone with even the remotest common sense would have understood the invite here meant application invites and not AC invites bruh
you gotta understand there are non-nlus her as well, some are not even aware A&O Shearman personally sends invites to only Top NLUs and a few others. Kindness is free, my friend!
fair myb boss, maybe a bit of soft-tone is all that is needed
apologies for expecting clarity in writing from people with common sense
any idea on how much time after completing their test do you hear back with a report or a response?
AC invites for HSFK out, I know 5 people from JGLS
dude this AC prep is such a fucking nightmare, never ending process, AND HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THEY TAKEN FOR AC!?
Are you talking about LL or HSFK? Could you please specify?
10 from Jindal
10 from NLUJ
4 from GNLU
3 from NLS

What are the numbers for NALSAR, NUJS, SLSP,
5 Jindal, 11 NLUJ*
GNLU idt anyone made it

NALSAR 5

NUJS SLSP no idea
I know 2 people from GNLU who got the AC invite. Idk if there’s more
Coming from a Non NLU college here. Seeing the numbers of acceptances and the number of people discussing here, just wanted to know, out of curiosity, if vac schemes is something that is institutionally discussed and encouraged in NLUs? And Jindal too maybe?
As someone from a Tier 2 NLU, no it’s not. I doubt my institution even knows what a vac scheme is. You’re more or less on your own unless, ofc, you find good mentors at your uni or somewhere else.
what about tier 1? I've heard NLS and NUJS encouraging/ being involved in students getting vac schemes
I haven’t heard of anybody in gnlu getting an ac invite this year, where did you get these numbers?
If i do not remember seeing my WG scores for LL, or the fact that I ever got my score, can I ask them again? If yes, what do I write in the email?
I don't think LL revealed the scores for the WG test. Also, did anybody receive an update from LL - AC invite or rejection ?
any updated on Linklaters? have they sent out AC invites or has anyone heard back anything from the EC team? its been unreasonably long now
HSFK AC Invites are out, congratulations to those who got it! Any updates on LL? What stage are we at for that?
Any updates from LL ? Or have they decided against giving India Internships this year ?
When the result of HSFK interview gonna come out
Got a rejection candid linklaters around 9 pm August 24, 2026, Monday
Any AC invites for Linklaters yet? Has everyone heard back with a rejection or are there some people who haven’t been rejected yet?
A small minority is yet to received links rejection. No invites as of yet though.
How many is this small minority? Are these people likely to get AC invites then?
Has anyone heard back regarding their AC rounds? for HSF. Please do reply
why are you getting so restless!? stop freaking out everyone is anxious
dude when the fuck is HSFK releasing the final results? the wait has been so long, Linklaters toh bhul hi jao πŸ™πŸ»
you will get a call today if you are getting it, if no call then safe to assume you did'nt make the cut
i am assuming this was yesterday and if thats the case oh well
THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WHEN THE HELL ARE THEY RELEASING THE RESULTS
heard people in NALSAR and NLS got AC results - acceptance calls only
did everyone from LL get rejected? no one in nluj has been given
haven't been rejected but no AC invite either yet
Can someone reach out to links HR/early careers about this? Do they even plan to hire this year? Why some people have not been rejected but also not invited. Also, their scheme is in Nov-Dec, how can they be so slow?
honestly, HSFK just lost respect, how can they take so many people for AC and still take almost no one from NLUD/NUJS/JGU and barely one person from NLUJ, like what the actual fuck!?

why do you even bother if you don't want to hire
Couldn’t agree more for the β€œIndia first” firm
just wasted fuel by coming all the way to multiple centres when they were gonna only take ppl from one centre its just all show now
So it's their fault applicants from other places weren't good enough? Lol, sour grapes.
? Why are you mad you weren't good enough?

Also, it's 2 from NLUJ, 2 NLS, 1 NALSAR, 1 MNLU-M

Literally just work harder
That's because law grads aren't good enough at Indian law universities, the standards of which have fallen drastically. One interview with any such grad is enough to prove that.
all the people selected were from nls centre smh, it seems so weird rn.
Bro I tried reaching out and appear to have been ghosted so god only knows atp
Like I would assume they would give atleast a week worth of notice or so for the AC so by this time their AC ain’t happening before September end or October and that’s just unbelievable
wdym, are you telling me everyone in NLUJ has gotten a rejection mail?
HSFK started making calls, someone from

NLS and NALSAR got it!
heard back in a rejection, all the best to who didn’t :(
Yeah if they are sending out rejection mails that means everyone who applied should get atleast some communication from them?
true if someone gets AC invite share here please
LI mods will be death of me. Please take this as a sign and moderate faster for love of god greens earth please please please
gotta love the irony when this message itself takes forever to get moderated

HSF rejections out? has no one from NLUD made it?
