Symbiosis people are everywhere and they also help student interns from their college. Great camaderie between their student community. I come from a T-1 college and my alums never supported me the way Symbiosis people support their student interns. I saw some of the senior associates helping their student interns in assessment tasks. They also get weirdly passive aggressive against other kids. But gotta give credit where it's due because their alums really support each other and it shows. You'll find symbi kids at all levels in all kinds of firms from A0 to Partner level. Lowkey wish I did my law from Symbi, their alum support is unmatched.

The thread is accurate in some parts but a bit off in others. Only talking about T1s, yes BO2026 didn't have the best placement season, but BO2027 has actually been doing better than most we expected given how things looked earlier. Around 15 people from my juniors' batch have landed T1 offers so far, and a few more good firms like Tri and Argus incoming. That said, these numbers still aren't amazing once you consider the size of the batch.

I'll say if you're in roughly the top 25%, you have a pretty fair chance. The bottom which has rich kids who dont care about law, also dont care about placements but we have a lot of hardworking and very smart people too. So the crowd is very diverse.

The college can definitely help with internships if you make the effort. I know a dude with around 7.6/10 who managed to get really solid internships through campus. Obviously, most people will still have to rely on connections and personal applications at some point.

Also one last thing, the college has recently expanded batch size. A foul move that may result in dilution in the coming years. Things look better and growing for now but can get worse later.

Almost all firms bro, and mind you these kids are super competent too because they are interning all year round so they know what market expects, unlike my T1 college that enforces 75 percent attendance and teaches useless academic subjects that would benefit future academics only.

Competent lol. I will tell you their modus operandi. These people would simply sit in office for optics and would get really, really insecure when more competent interns would show up on the scene. On senior associates helping interns-even I have seen that. Their seniors would be rude and aggressive against other interns (especially those from NLUs) because they know other interns are competent. Some firms are full of these kids. (One of them a former T1, now on a downward trajectory)

I am a symbi grad and currently unemployed. While many of my batchmates have secured jobs, many are still navigating the same uncertainty. But there is one thing I can say with complete conviction. I secured most of my internships because of the relationships I built with alumni. The college did help in few, but that was also mostly because of the alumni network.

Over the years, I had had the privilege of interacting with some exceptionally hardworking partners, principal associates, senior associates, and associates at law firms from SLS, Pune. One lesson has become abundantly clear. Your network is your social capital. Your college can open a few doors, but the relationships you cultivate determine how many more remain open.

After all, today's conversation could very well become tomorrow's client, referral, mentor, or opportunity. People invest in people long before they invest in credentials.

What genuinely surprises me is how underrated networking and interpersonal skills continue to be in law school. We spend years mastering statutes, precedents, and drafting, yet often overlook the art of building trust, nurturing professional relationships, and having meaningful conversations. In today's legal profession, being technically competent may get your foot in the door, but emotional intelligence, curiosity, and the ability to connect with people are what keep you in the room. Also, underrated is having fun at workspace, while also cracking quality and deadlines.

One thing I will always be grateful for is the Symbi alumni community. The partners, in particular, have been incredibly generous with their time, remarkably approachable, and genuinely invested in helping students grow. And also the base in UK, US and Singapore. Folks at NYU, Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard. Folks securing scholarships and TCs abroad. Folks cracking deals at law firms and companies. And every symbi hustler, finding their space in this world! Perhaps that generosity is something they themselves inherited from those who came before them, and they continue to pay it forward.

You don't need to know everything. You simply need the courage to reach out, ask thoughtful questions, and start conversations. More often than not, you will discover that people are willing to help far more than you expect.

Your degree may introduce you, but your reputation, relationships, and character will carry you the rest of the way.

Imagine not bagging a job and giving a shoutout to Partners who don't even know you exist - just because you had an email forwarded to HR doesn't mean that you have a relationship with the concerned seniors. Some of the people named here are very senior lawyers who would not like to be associated to an anonymous thread like this and worse off, by a random graduate who couldn't bag a job in a market which is up for grabs. By doing so, you have not only embarassed yourself but also the college's reputation. Sigh.
