First impression, first day formalities, infrastructure

The intern was obviously nervous and excited at the same time.

People were welcoming, but formal.

Not much formalities apart from the submission of name, photograph and contact details.

A normal office. Not too flashy, but not degrading or poor either.

Main tasks

1. Proof reading

2. Discussions on taxation

3. Court visits

Work environment and people

Good environment, the team especially was really helpful.

They didn’t make the intern feel out of place.

Best things

The location. It was located in the outer circle of Connaught Place and so lunch time and after office hours could be planned and enjoyed well.

The experience and lessons the intern there, and the observations he made, he believes are important.

Plus the work experience and internship certificate that the intern can now add to his own CV.

Bad things

No as such bad thing, but if the intern still has to pick one then it would be that the internship offers no stipend. Of course, the intern would’ve liked to get paid. But it was in any case worth the time and energy.

Stipend

No stipend

Biggest Lessons

Court lessons and how a firm actually works. Also making and maintaining relations and contacts.
