IFIM Law School
Corporate Affair And Outreach
IFIM Law School is based in Electronics City, Bangalore, where some of the top recruiters in the country are located. There is a saying in the world of legal academia: a law school is only as good as its alumni.
With this in mind, the aim of IFIM Law School is to produce lawyers who are employable, socially responsible and can adapt to a wide variety of roles and responsibilities in their chosen sphere.
We have a dedicated internship and placement cell which is tasked with obtaining internships for our students’ and placing them with lawyers, law firms, in-house legal departments, public policy thank-tanks
and NGOs in their final semester. As soon as our students arrive, they will have one on one meetings with faculty members as well as the internship and placement coordinator to chart out a career path for them.
Each student will be assigned a faculty mentor, and once they are clear about what kind of lawyer they want to be, every effort is made to ensure that they are exposed to their chosen field through apprenticeships.
As per Bar Council of India norms, students have to undertake 20 weeks of internship during the BBA LLB course. There is an IFIM Law School Internship Cell (IC) functioning under the guidance of
a faculty member to help the students find internships.
This Internship Cell (IC) is constituted in order to govern matters relating to internships for students of IFIM Law School and to ensure compliance with the rules, regulations and guidelines of the
Institution. This policy of the IC is duly accepted and brought into action by the Principal, IFIM Law School on Aug 1 2016 and has been approved by the Executive council.

Student Internship Testimonials
Batch - 2016-2021
"I, being in a startup law school, I didn’t feel lack of opportunities in terms of Moot Courts, Extra-curricular activities, etc. The faculty members of the school are highly experienced and qualified for teachings which make the lectures interactive and focused. The Library and classrooms are digitalized and one can follow-up the lectures from LMS if he/she missed it. The Centers of Excellence in school aimed at extensive research and opinion drafting on different legal aspects. The seminars and workshops by experienced professionals conducted by school provide in depth knowledge of the subject/topic. Apart from academics, the college is also very peculiar to extra-curricular activities including motivating the students and sending teams for participation in various college fest. Due to this, I won few accolades in fests that I participated. To give a practical touch to the course, College has Startup Law Clinic which aims to provide a common platform for students and entrepreneurs for helping in preliminary startup procedures and practices. Being one its member, I had worked with several startups and aided them in their initial legal procedures of incorporation. The Internship and placement cell, Moot court Society are a significant part of the college which continuously work for getting internships for the students and training and motivating in art of mooting respectively. I also got opportunity to participate in 2 international moot court competitions till I reached my 4th year. The PEP programs for student’s fitness and good health is one more step towards making up of professional lawyer. The IFIM Law School is the perfect blend of discipline and pedagogy which helps students to learn and grow exponentially."
Batch - 2015-2020
"It’s been almost 5 years since I started pursuing my BBA LLB at IFIM Law School, Bangalore. When I look back at my journey at IFIM Law School, I feel extremely blessed and grateful. Coming from a conservative background, I always wanted to expose myself to different kind of challenges. IFIM Law School has surpassed my expectations in terms of challenging me time and again through various world class competitions. IFIM Law School has really helped me to gain invaluable exposure by encouraging me to take part in National Seminars, Workshops, Moot Courts etc.
At IFIM Law School, I was given various opportunities and impeccable guidance to improve myself personally and professionally. I credit my personal and professional development to Personality Enhancement program (PEP) at IFIM Law School.
Faculty at IFIM Law School ensures student friendly atmosphere where students are encouraged to clear any sorts of queries relating to the subject regardless of the time constraints. Research Centers headed by faculty members promote research culture among the students. I am extremely glad that I have been taught by eminent faculty members at IFIM Law School.
As per Bar Council of India (BCI) rules and Regulations, Law Students are instructed to intern in their summer and winter breaks. In many Law Schools, the onus is on the students to find internship at Reputed Law firms or Companies. But when it comes to IFIM Law School, there is a dedicated team of students with a faculty mentor working rigorously on Internships and Placements for the students. The value that quality internships add to a CV is immense. I interned at Child Rights and You (CRY)-Chennai, Clonect Solutions Pvt Ltd, Samvad Partners etc. Those Internships have really helped me to explore different areas of Law and to strengthen my mettle. I am delighted to know about the Internship offer I got from Infosys Limited. All thanks to the immense support of our Principal Ms. Shaguftha Anjum.
At the end of the day, everything boils down to the sense of satisfaction and Development. Now, as a final year student of BBA.LLB, I can feel that sense of satisfaction and development intrinsically. Within next 6 months, I see myself in a dignified position in an esteemed Organization."
5th year BBA LLB Student,
IFIM Law School
"I was fortunate enough to pursue corporate internship under one of the leading players in smart devices industry. This internship under Legal Department gave me an insight in to the corporate world where time is money and efficiency is what makes you succeed at greater heights. Being a part of the core legal team, I was assigned to draft agreements, contract reviewing, research on trademarks and copyright infringement matters."
4th year BBA LLB student,
IFIM Law School
Bangalore
"Interning at the Registrar of Companies was as immense opportunity any BBA LLB student could ever have. As a legal trainee I got to learn the practical aspect of Company Law and how it is entirely different from its theoretical aspect. I also learnt drafting of legal documents such as show cause notices and prosecution documents which are of utmost importance in a law student’s career. Also, this internship taught me discipline, dedication and professionalism that are to be followed while working in a Central Government office. Having interned under the department of Ministry of Corporate Affairs made me realize that other than the stereotypical professional choices, there are other horizons that one could explore in the law career."
