ideally, you wouldn't want to make iPad your primary device- I say that as a tech nerd and a huge apple fan. While it's excellent for reading and reviewing documents, it falls flat even with slight multitasking. if you have the option, id suggest going for a mac instead of an iPad.
here is a fairly decent guide-
1. Familiarize yourself with the iPad keyboard: The keyboard on an iPad is different from a traditional laptop, but you can quickly get used to it with a bit of practice. Make use of the on-screen keyboard's shortcuts and predictive text.
2. Use MS Word for iPad: Microsoft has a version of Word for the iPad that works similarly to the desktop version. This will help you find the familiar features you're used to on the laptop.
3. Get to know the cloud: On an iPad, you'll be saving your documents in the cloud instead of locally on your device. Make sure you understand how to access and save documents on OneDrive or other cloud storage services.
4. Learn to use the touch-based interface: The interface on an iPad is touch-based, so take some time to learn the gestures and commands that help you navigate the device.
So I’ll be completing ISC 12th in like 1.5 months and am gonna pursue law as a profession.
I have 3 broad options but I don’t know what to choose. I’d really really appreciate it if yall could help me out.
1. I’ll get into NLU Jodhpur or Kolkota with NRI quota, take that and study there.
2. Go for Jindal Law School.
3. Get into GLC/random uni, but intern a senior partner at Khaitan for 5 years full time/intern at the chambers of AM Sanghvi/H Salve/Sibal (we have family connections)

I think it’s important to note that as far as internships are concerned, we have quite a few good connections so I can get pretty good internships in India and abroad as well.
———
With that out of the way, I want to do an MBA post law is that a wise option? I’m presuming my resume will be good enough to be accepted into any Ivy/Oxbridge/tier 1 uni because it is that good for undergrad as well.

Now for my actual career path,
I have 2 things in mind,
1. The corporate law path— I’ll likely make a partner in 8-10 years, and may start a boutique firm a few years post that.
2. the litigation path- work at the chambers of some of the best lawyers in India, and maybe 4-5 years later start my own practice at bombay HC or the SC.
3. My own business, my parents have excellent industry connections in the heavy industry and finance world, so with their knowledge and help I will likely be able to start my own industry and stuff.
Ideally, I’d want to start a heavy Industry—something in shipping, mining, chemicals, metals etc. these are industries I have a family background in.

Could y’all please please help me out with this please? Thanks!!
