Generally, there is no one right LLB subject that prepares you for LLM. If someone wants to study a particular area of LLM then the ideal choice would fall towards that specific area. Here's why:

LLM Specializations: A Master of Laws is more specific in the areas of law that students pursue when in the course.
Alignment with Specialization: While switching from an LLB programme to an LLM programme might be relatively easy, the choice of courses that you took in your LLB that relates with your preferred LLM specialisation can serve as a foundation and thus make the switch easier.
For example if one’s LLM specialisation is in Corporate Law then Company Law, Contract Law and Business Law are relevant courses in the LLB.

Thus, the only strategy that makes sense is to choose the LLM specialisation one is interested in first and then search for the corresponding LLB subjects.

 

Due to global legal developments and changing market demands, there are many specialisations offered, some of them are mentioned below 

• Civil Law
• Tax Law
• Labour5 Law
• Corporate Law
• Commercial Law
• International Trade Law
• Labour Law
• Labour5 Law

LLM course eligibility requires completing an LLB with a minimum 50 percent or equivalent CGPA. Some of the universities have additional requirements for entrance exam scores or work experience.
