On Highlights
Q:   Can I become a lawyer after completing my LLB?
A: 

No, After completing LLB you become a lawyer, however, you are still not an advocate and hence cannot practice law. To become an advocate and to practice law as a profession, you mandatorily need to clear the All India Bar Examination (AIBE). After qualifying AIBE, one can practice law as a full fledged profession. 

Q:   Can I start a law practice without a Law degree or become a lawyer?
A: 

No, you cannot become a lawyer without a Law degree. You mandatorily need to obtain degrees such as BA/BCom/BSc/BBA LLB or LLB in order to be a lawyer in India. To become a lawyer, one must first complete three-year or five-year LLB from a recognised university and possess degree certificate. Then, they must enrol themselves in local Bar Council of the concerned state and enrolled as an advocate. Within two years of the enrolment, they must appear and clear AIBE in order to be eligible to practise anywhere in India. 

Q:   What are the salary prospects for Law professionals in India?
A: 

The salary prospects in the Law profession are based on the job role, position, employer, experience, and skills. Also, in India, Lawyers are generally paid based on the cases they handle; the number of full-time hired Advocates is less. You'll find some full-time hired Advocates in MNCs or in government organizations only; the remaining ones work more as consultants. These salaries can be:

The student life at GITAM is phenomenal, but the curriculum is average.
Placements: I am a student of the School of Law, and I studied here for five years. For law, there are no placements compared to other fields. We have internship opportunities to work in courts and companies, and they also allow us to participate in moot court competitions.
Infrastructure: GITAM has top-notch infrastructure and architecture with high-tech facilities. Many students join here for the campus life at GITAM. We are equipped with labs, libraries, courts, and a lot of auditoriums. There are also many canteens available to hang out with friends and fellow students.
Faculty: The teachers are well-skilled and have good experience in teaching. They interact with students often. The curriculum is good but should be improved. The semester exams are difficult, as they are graded very strictly. They also provide access to Coursera, where we can take extra courses at our discretion.
Other: They provide scholarships if we score good marks in the GAT exam. I chose this college because there are no better colleges for law except NLUs.

I love our college and its comfort, but I am not happy with placements.
Placements: Placements are not as expected in this course. As it is a private institute, placements are very less for us to achieve. Only a few students get placements. The highest salary package offered is 5 LPA. Many students got placed in the corporate sector and law firms as legal advisors.
Infrastructure: The library is fully equipped, and we get to have whatever we want. It is our dream place. The infrastructure of our college is top-notch. Our college provides everything including Wi-Fi, clean washrooms, fully furnished classrooms with projectors, fully operated computers, air conditioners, etc. The hostel is very nice and comfortable. It is very neatly maintained. The mess is very hygienic and healthy.
Faculty: Our faculty members are highly trained and experienced. The course is well-structured. They mostly compare it with the NLU and get along with it. We even have moot court competitions. It is very important for the law background.
Other: I chose this college because I didn't get into NLU, but I don't regret that because this is a whole university together which has everything that we ever wanted. We have full comfort here and all the things we can get into if we want to. There are many things like extracurricular activities and different types of clubs which have so much scope for talent. I love this college so much.

Gitam campus infrastructure is the best.
Placements: The placements are very few as of now. Only a few students are getting placed in recruitments. Even though the CGPA was good. Maximum banks and corporate companies will take recruitments as legal advisors. And coming to the internships, we should search for internships by the students themselves.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure was so good, very comfortable, and technological. Hostels are also very hygienic and good. The hospitality team will clean our rooms and washrooms daily. And also, hostel food is too tasty. Sometimes we feel like home, and the chefs are very talented in it.
Faculty: The curriculum was too good, and the faculty are very well versed in their particular subjects. But the schedule was somewhat hectic as the timings are from 8 am to 4 pm. The difficult level of exams is moderate. But exams are mainly situation-based.
Other: Our college is offering two courses for undergraduation, i.e., B.A. LL.B. Hons. and BBA LL.B. Hons., and also LL.M. for postgraduation. Also, there are many clubs for students to enjoy their college life. I chose this university because it is South India's No. 1 private law school.
