Our dedicated Career Advancement Strategy and Services (CASS) team is at the heart of BITS Law School’s commitment towards experiential learning. 

The expert CASS team will facilitate, support, and curate internships for law students and connect with recruiters in corporate law practice, with appellate advocates, domestic and international law firms, judiciary, legal regulatory authorities, management consulting firms, legislatures, with parliamentarians, audit & accounting firms, ADR & mediation firms, start-ups, research institutions, think tanks, regulatory bodies, and NGOs.

Through a planned and diversified portfolio of internships over five years, law students are nurtured across different functional areas, industries, sectors, and roles. Further, internships teach valuable life skills, including but not limited to working in cross-cultural teams, managing time and deadlines, project management, professional conduct and etiquette, and business communication in a collegial and controlled environment.

We are currently at advanced stages of discussion with firms that are described as dream destinations for internships and placements. While the list continually expands, the following firms have expressed their pleasure in considering BITS Law School students for internships and placements.
