As to what they look for? Well there are a lot of factors apart from studies that are almost as important. Im not someone very experienced I've only recently started my articles but I'll tell you the things which people have told me and what are generally agreed to be important.
You must be confident and have the ability to speak clearly and fluently, both English and Urdu. Some firms take interviews in English only. You should be presentable and comfortable in a professional environment. It all seems easy but once you enter that high pressure environment you realize just how crucial these things are! And remain in touch with current world affairs, improve your general knowledge and show them you know a bit about whats going on in the world. Read a newspaper or a good magazine regularly. It helps in improving English a lot too.
By the way search the forum there is some very good advice on this topic here from senior members which helped me during my application.
