[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 32878, member: 2672"] You need to speak to the firm directly really to get an answer on this. My assumption would be: 1) they would only experience the same scheme if the dates are identical. It’s often the case that the Indian internships are not the same period of time (they are typically longer) than an vacation schemes which may only be 1-3 weeks long 2) No - they are separate programmes and therefore may be assessed differently. Although there is some cross over in what the firm is looking for, with the Indian internships they are generally looking for people who have ties to India so that the firm can manage/maintain future relationships with their “best friend” firms there, or if the Indian market ever opens up (which they have been saying would happen for the last 20 years and still hasn’t), then they would have people who would potentially be interested in building their office(s) in India. The same rationale doesn’t apply to general U.K. internships - there they are just recruiting for their London office. 3) Given the above, the questions/assessments could be different, although as mentioned, there could also be some similarities. If you are doing an internship in London, you’ll be expected to have an opinion on things like Brexit and the SQE though. But you’d also expect to have a much better knowledge of the Indian legal market too, which wouldn’t be expected if you were just applying to the London vacation scheme [/QUOTE]
