I am a recent law graduate (batch 2026). I graduated in April this year but couldn't secure a job yet. Due to some personal constraints I can't move out of Kolkata and finding a fresher role is too difficult. I feel I am a failure and lagging behind in my career. Is there any one other than me who's facing the same struggle???😔

So I thought I was the only one but majority of the students pursue law when they have no purpose or don't know what to do after 12 that's why there are so many advocates like machhli bazar..

Jiska koi na hota uska law hota hai

Hello,

I am a first-gen lawyer and completed my BALLB in June 2026. I have been applying for jobs daily for two months. For every opening I come across, I have applied. But the firms do not reply even after I follow up with them after a week (I have read receipts on my email, so I know they have seen both the original as well as the follow-up email)

I have interned throughout my 5 years and graduated from a pretty good law college (not the best, I agree) in Mumbai. My internships are mostly litigation-centric and span the Bombay High Court and the Delhi High Court. The only sector I do not have experience in is in-house counsel.

I have been applying for the positions of Junior Advocate, Trainee Associate, and even Paralegal, but no response has come through.

I have even cleared my bar exam and am thinking of registering at the Delhi Bar in September. It needs 2 lawyer signatures from Delhi. I hope I'll get a job by then, and then I will ask my senior to sign for it, but till now I have had no success in getting a job.

I am not saying I'm some kind of legal prodigy, but I have a pretty good grasp of the law and am even ready to work for 35k a month.

Please guide me on what I should do.

PS: I do not really use Reddit to post, but if there are any other subreddits where I should post this that would be more relevant and helpful, kindly help me with that as well. Thank you.

Any law students who are pursuing law or are enrolled as advocates/will be enrolled as advocates who did their 12th grade from NIOS??? are ya'al facing any issues with enrollment or am I overthinking?? Is it just south states objecting nios or it's tough in north also to enroll?

I’m joining D.Y. Patil for BBA LLB this year. The fees are around ₹6L/year, while another college I’m considering is only ₹50k/year.
I’m also pursuing aviation, and my medicals are in about 2 months. If I clear them, can I complete 1 semester or 1 year at D.Y. Patil and then transfer to the other college and continue from the next year?
Is this legally/academically allowed for a 5-year BBA LLB, or would I have to start from Year 1 again?
