Ms. Abhikrishna Lal, 1st year B.B.A. LL.B student, IFIM Law School HOPE Foundation (NGO), Qatar, UAE

It was a unique experience for me to intern with HOPE Qatar, a non-profit institution, engaged in helping differently abled children to integrate into the society.

My internship with HOPE Qatar taught me to be selfless and the art of giving back to the Society in various possible ways. I have re-shaped myself as a more responsible person and understood my responsibility as a ‘Social Engineer’ in this Society.

Ms. Fathima Rifa, 3rd year B.B.A. LL.B student, IFIM Law School Abu Dhabi, UAE, Meera Ali Al Jallaf Legal Consultants, Law Firm

I thought it would be difficult for an Indian law student to adapt to the UAE law firm as the laws differ in their substance and procedure. But I am honored to learn diverse legal systems which will help me to shape my career. This international exposure has opened up various career options for me and has enhanced my legal skills to a larger extent."

Mr. Sandesh Samuel, 3rd year B.B.A. LL.B Student, IFIM Law School Mr. Prabhuling. K. Navadgi, Additional Solicitor General of India, High Court of Karnataka

It was an absolute privilege and honor for me to intern under The Additional Solicitor General of India Mr. Prabhuling. K. Navadgi at the High Court of Karnataka. Getting mentored by the most renowned person amongst the legal fraternity has enhanced my professional skills and learnt the art of advocacy. I want to thank my college for giving me the opportunity to share the office with such an eminent Law Officer, the 3rd highest position in the country.

Mr. Sarbodeep Sood, 4th year B.B.A. LL.B IFIM Law SchoolHewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Bangalore

Getting the chance to intern in one of the largest MNCs in the IT sector, is nothing less than a privilege. Being a pure corporate house, the Company has a plethora of work, which results in immense learning for any intern. I had the opportunity to work on several commercial laws.

The most enjoyable part of working there is the end of the week discussions that are held, wherein the Senior Counsels, take an hour or more to discuss issues and teach the interns about various aspects of the Organization and other areas too.

Ms. Nidhi Chauhan, 4th Year B.B.A. LL.B Student, IFIM Law School Hon’ble Justice Mr. K Natarajan, High Court of Karnataka

To intern under the sitting Justice of High Court is a dream of every law student and I was lucky enough to live by this dream. To get mentored by the learned Justice Mr. K Natarajan was educative as well as challenging. Since I was assigned the task of carrying out research related to the cases handled by Hon’ble Justice, my research, reasoning and drafting skills got nurtured to a larger extent.
