Some important points: 9 Give-Aways
- Top law colleges in the country give you the option to do ‘running internships’ and be a part of tons of activities to build a network of contacts.
- Most of the newer NLUs have fared pretty badly. We’d suggest against joining these lower ranked NLUs which are located in distant areas and instead try to join a good law college in Delhi or Mumbai.
- Also, remember, if you are among the 90 percentile (top 10% students) in the 15th ranking college, you are doing better than the 20 percentile (bottom 20% students) the top 3 colleges.
- What you do in 5 years of graduation will matter much more than what you did in 2 years before that. So, don’t fret over rankings too much.
- However, a pedigree does matter in the long run so although you should not fret over rankings much, you must try to crack an entry into ivy-leagues.
- The ‘name’ of your law school will matter. Top law firms hire only from the top 3-5 colleges.
- The alumni network in these colleges stays with you for life.
- The peer group you get in top law colleges is priceless. This is a profession where a robust personal network is a must-have.
- Well, it is also safe to say that, even though a pedigree will matter, in the long run (2-6 years), if you are smart & laborious, you’ll overcome any handicaps coming from a low ranked college.
