CV dilemma - London SAs 2026

Hi, had a quick question about a dilemma I'm facing. Currently a third year recruiting for IB SA roles. I'd done a spring back in 2024 at a MM IB, but don't have it put down on my CV as you can tell. I was wondering if the brand value of just naming the spring is something worth investing in terms of space on my CV. If so, I'd need to remove another experience but can't really pick. I was thinking I'd get rid of the experience in India since I've heard its somewhat frowned upon in London. Would it be worth sending updated CVs to the ~20 places that have opened up so far? Would anyone be kind enough to share their opinions on the same?

Also would appreciate any tips on the CV in general, thanks!
