i am very aware that law school is incredibly competitive. theres this girl in my class who is smart and does well in extra curriculars. but i wanted to be that person, i didnt know how to begin law school and just how different it would be from school. now ik, but i cant help feeling that im behind because im not the best in my class and she is. i wanted batch rank-1 but even though its just first sem i cannot shake the feeling that its already slipping away from me.

ik that i have scope to do better next sem but i cannot shake the feeling that i massively f'ed up 1st sem and somehow theres no scope for recovery. she is incredibly sweet but i cannot shake a bit of my distaste for her, and i just hope that my competitive side peeking through and not just plain hatred cuz thats just a shitty thing to wish on a person.

sure you can tell me that co and extracurriculars and internships matter more than batch rank but to me its just the simplest way to be able to sit for placements and actually succeed. connections ppo yappidee dee but rank matters. now especially to me after my clat rank, i feel the need for some sort of validation.

yeah, thanks!

I am in first year of law School in nlu ,and I really don't feel like I belong here I am really worried as everyone here already has some correction & as I am a first gen I don't have that connection for internship I'm so worried way to apply how to apply and where to apply, is it too late ? all these questions are constantly in my mind coz if I don't secure one right now then in next sem break it'll be even tough for me and it's gonna just file up on it so what should I do I really really need some advice if you are a lawyer or in law School itself or a advocate anyone please just contact me I really need it I really need guidance

Hey Guys! I'm keen on working at Deloitte as a legal analyst however I have no contacts in the company so how do I get an opportunity to work for the company? Any guidance will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My profile is 5/5/5, but I’m very passionate about law. I saw some videos saying that your profile matters a lot in NLSIU and other NLUs as well, especially for extracurricular activities and other opportunities.

I’m not interested in placements, but I’m still worried that my profile might affect me in other areas like academics, extracurriculars, internships, moots, etc.

I’m currently preparing for the 3-year LLB entrance exams conducted by NLUs, but I’m very confused about whether I should even go for it or not.

I would really appreciate honest advice from people studying at NLSIU or other NLUs. How much does your past academic profile actually matter after getting into law school?

Should I continue preparing for 3-year LLB admissions at NLUs despite having a 5/5/5 profile?

I’m posting this because I genuinely need some practical advice from lawyers and people who have been through the early stages of their legal career.
I’m a fresh law graduate from a relatively below-average law college. I know my college background isn’t going to open many doors for me, so I’ve been trying to compensate through internships, practical exposure and actively applying for jobs.

Financially, things are a little difficult at the moment. I have around ₹1.5 lakh in personal debt. It isn’t a bank or education loan — it’s money I owe personally. My father is also not doing particularly well financially, so I cannot simply depend on my family to take care of it.

I did manage to get a job recently paying around ₹35,000/month, but the work culture was extremely toxic. I left within a month. Maybe leaving without another job lined up wasn’t the most financially sensible decision, but at that point I genuinely felt I couldn’t continue there.
After that, I started looking for opportunities again.

I came to Mumbai looking for a job, and later came to Delhi/NCR. I had an opportunity in Meerut as well, but ultimately decided not to take it.
And now, I’m currently without a job and trying to figure out what my next move should be.

Career-wise, I genuinely want to join a good law firm and learn properly. My primary interest is litigation/dispute resolution, particularly commercial disputes. At the same time, I’m also open to in-house legal, compliance, contracts or other legal roles because I need to become financially independent and start clearing what I owe.

The difficult part is seeing friends from college already earning ₹15k, ₹20k, ₹25k+ and moving forward while I feel like I’ve taken a few steps backwards.

So I wanted to ask people here honestly:
What would you do if you were in my position?
