Hard work perseverance while you do your LLB degree. Being active with extracurricular activity like Moot Court, participating in debate society, attending various seminars, attending legal workshop, being active with your legal aid programme within college, makes you more open as a person and you attain qualities like your communication skills, which is a must in a lawyer. Secondly, you must be good with your law, but one can't ignore the academics. Doing lots of internship with your law degree to know practical knowledge of law is best. Being in above frame, nobody can stop you from achieving success or getting good placement in any law firm or corporate firm.

Hey there, The best way of getting a good placement could be the campus placement which requires a very good curriculum vitae of the student including better grades, good internship experiences and other co-curricular activities and based on which you could be shortlisted for interviews by law firms and you could get a good job offer. Also, you can appear for CLAT PG exam and secure a top rank to get shortlisted by the Central Public Sector Undertakings like ONGC, IOCL, GAIL, etc., and can earn a handsome salary and other perquisites.Apart from this, you can apply directly to various corporate houses inviting applications for a job in the legal team and also in banks through IBPS as a legal officer. Thus, the placement opportunities are not limited and in future, they are going to increase. However, the best is to go for campus placements.
