please no. As a Jindal student, I can tell you it is not worth taking a damn loan. It is not easy to get internships [w/o connection even as a top student] or a job [as per seniors] if you graduate from here so paying back the loan will take a while. Don't give up on SLAT without even trying. You should also try Christ University. Jindal is only worth it if you can afford it easily.
Hi, so the Courts don't close for the entire June so you can still try to get an internship in a Chamber but yes there might be less work available. Since you are only in your 2nd semester, it is unlikely any corporate firm will hire you due to lack of knowledge unless you have connections obviously [but why would you waste using them in your first year - pls don't].
A better alternative would be to intern at NGOs - PCGT, Navjyoti Foundation, CRY, Legal Aid Clinic [of your college] etc. You can find more by checking profiles on Linkedin.
a friend of mine interned in december [most associates were going on break perhaps] - she had to beg for work daily and received nothing. it was a waste of time
omg same, i only had 1 on my Goodreads [i literally read it in the last week of dec]. i am so embarrassed. during covid I had an average of 30. have planned to reach at least 10 this year.
honestly you are going to get good profs who actually make the effort to teach you. the only advantage at JGLS is the wide range of professors. you learn really well. there is a lot of competition so it is difficult to get into adr society or mcs society. dont worry about the crowd because you are going to find all kinds of people - there are many studious students so that isnt an issue. the only downgrade with JGLS is the brand name. it is difficult to show the hiring ppl that you are not the shit crowd of JGLS. it is a little difficult to break the barrier of bias against JGLS. the JGLS alumni is also not very keen on helping out juniors as compared to the NLUs solidarity.
got an internship at dmd advocates. are there different teams for direct and indirect tax? which is better to learn under? any recommendations for partners? any insights? do they give call back or ppo?
quite difficult. a friend of mine applied for dec 2023 and was told they had interns till 2024 ending. but when she applied through an associate she knew she got it easily for jan'24.
absolutely. it is not as if our UMC parents have collected tons of money for us to continue living the same lifestyle. so we work in law firms to ensure you have one foreign vacation every year.
most ppl at JGLS have connections so don't beat yourself about it. I just saw the LinkedIn profile of a girl who interned at JSA after her first semester!!!
heard from a friend who interned at the Chandigarh LKS office that WLB was terrible - associates had to stay at the office quite late - apparently, the atmosphere was horrible and no one talked to each other because they were all swamped with work.
- ensure that your CV is crisp and to the point [not more than 2/3 pages]
- it would be better to figure out what "corporate law" division you are interested in [Gen Corp or M&A etc.] so that you can frame your cover letter in that manner
- a firm is going to accept you only if you have some prior work experience in that subject area - so if this is the first time you are applying for a corp law internship then it is unlikely a big law firm will choose you. try finding tier 4 or 5 law firms and start down there - you will build up your CV quick
- honestly, it is a hassle to get internships rn - if you dont have connections, it is indeed difficult - "its not a you problem"
- ppl have already started getting internship confirmation for this year, so it would be best to ask for months near June-August [if possible try choosing a month during which fewer colleges have vacation]
i hope you do find something! I am drowning myself :(

Any partners at ELP, LKS, SAM/CAM, DMD Adv, Saraf, Khaitan, or NDA to especially look out for? Also, how is the Trilegal [del/bom] tax team?
