You can try for going to commissions etc. but apply for firms, at least you will get a certificate and some learnings. Rather than a random internship at NGO etc.
District court is really good for a first internship, but consider firms too.

Per my assessment, the former is known to be prone to very late hours but I'm not sure if the latter involves less work/flexible working hours.
I'll tell you this, I saw that my firm was raking in 75-80 lakhs for a mandate on which I did the majority weight lifting. Like 80% of the work I did, sacrificing my waking hours and holidays and family stuff.
Let's assume the whole 75-80 lakhs is not attributable to me, even then on the lower end lets say 25 lakhs, the firm has almost covered my year's base pay - in 15-20 days of my work. What about the rest of the year.
They were making god knows how many X of my yearly pay off me, while treating me like shit, denying me leaves, making it difficult for me to attend funerals of close family members, yelling at me, insulting me.
It really inspired me, the pay I was getting and the money they were making off me to quit the firm and start on my own. Now I make more than my pay in the firm and work significantly less hours.
Of course they only show the glamorous parts which is probably 10 percent of the legal audiences "combined" daily lives, but the rest 90% reality intelligent viewers like us are supposed to assume has already happened. So there will be scenes where Camera will start with Mike working and then cut to him waking up in the office itself. This is the "reality" part, which they don't show fully. The late nighters, the reading and vetting of documents, the highlighting and editing of every single word, the hard diligence etc. But as intelligent viewers we have to assume that the characters have already done that off camera.
Another important thing is shows like The Practice and Boston Legal took case stories from multiple litigations and multiple firms and presented as if the same firm or a couple of firms are handling almost every important case in the country. Which I totally support. All of our shared experiences and life stories and career highlights and epoch making events are different. So if a show takes 20-30 events that may be do not happen at a single law firm at a single point of time but has definitely happened at multiple places, multiple firms and at multiple eras of time and just coalesce all the masala into one show, I find absolutely nothing wrong with it. (I know so much drama can't happen at a single firm and that too all the time). And obviously you need to have SOME suspension of disbelief otherwise why the hell will you watch movies and shows! Overall, they did a fabulous job.
I'm all in for a 3 Year LLB, just do it through CLAT.
KPMG with 5 LPA
Godrej with 10 LPA
Adani also came with an offer
Now, they offer CTC (Cost to Company). The in-hand salary is 10-20% lower than the CTC. 5 years fees is 15L and living expenses is 1L per year.
You'll need 5 years to recoup the amount of money you will pay to ILNU. Rather join a cheaper college, try getting placed at big firms and even if you land at the likes of EY, it'd be fine.
I know we pick the Indian cricket team based on who can score the most runs and get the most wickets- and has in the ranji, but stats doesn't mean anything. The years of practice Kohli put up doesnt mean anything- hes just trying to cram the try hard! You or I should be on the cricket team we can point out all his mistakes right? I bet Kohli just got his job because of partial evaluators anyway.
But how does any of these things and what you say has anything to do with the deliberate moribund state of affairs at WBSIC. Sure the Red made it sick. But wasn't your Poriborton supposed to "London" everything into shape? Isn't Madam Kindness all about besting Modi et al?
Are we to understand that TMC bests in reverse? Setting new standards in become worse than Modi?
Please share your insights
Chandrachud is a virtue signalling, privileged Oldboy whose taken social engineering beyond pound. Even his anecdotes are foreign, "This is not some Hyde park corner" who talks like that? People in london. Every judgement of his has been a travesty barring two. Look at sabrimala, adultery, ram mandir, army ect, these judgements are baseless and have thrown conventional jurisprudence out of the window smh.

What a joke! People earning hundreds of crores are evading tax by diverting money to agriculture, laundering money, receiving only cash payments etc. Then why not abolish IT completely???
