Hi Jaikrishna,
To study LLM abroad, you must complete your LLB. Many universities abroad prefer applicants with some work experience so having 1-2 years of of legal professional experience will definitely help. You must also prepare for tests like IELTS or TOEFL. There may be additional entrance tests but this will depend on which country or which university you are applying to. The admission requirements are different all over and you have to check accordingly.

Hello,
After completing your Masters in Law that is, LLM, you have no additional job benefits compared to a LLB degree holder except academics. Both, LLB and LLM students can apply for any Government job (PSU) like BANK, RAIL etc. But, now a days, most of the Public Sector Units as well as Private companies, prefer LLM candidates. So, if you are a LLM degree holder, then you will be preferred over LLB degree holders. Many companies hire legal officers having LLM degree.
The sole benefit of LLM is academics. LLM will open the gateway for academics. If you have cleared LLM, then you can easily apply in any private law colleges for the pos

Hi,
LLM a post graduate course after LLB in itself is a specialization in law. But also there are certain specializations offered while a student takes up LLM. It could be a LLM in constitutional law or media law or criminal law but yes you are taught other subjects as well.
However the specialization is for one subject for which you need to do research work, take up teaching sessions, present research papers and also do a dissertation.
Then you get a specialization in that particular law.
The course throughout however consists of other laws as well and you are taught some other laws depending on the university and their academic council.

However, LLM in itself is a course that is sufficient and is enough to take you places. Also, you do not get to have many options available while you are already pursuing a full time regular PG course.
Though you have one option that I would advise would add up to your accolades i.e. Company secretary (CS)
This is one of the parallel courses that could be easily taken up and also does not require much of commerce background.
CA would not be possible, as it involves tough subjects and also needs mandatory training which would burdensome your daily life and it would get hectic when your academics is concerned.
Thus, CS is quite possible whil

Hello,
If you are looking for any University Grant Commission approved university, then it is difficult for you get chance with less than 45% marks. As the University Grant Commission has laid down the guidelines for taking admission in a LLB course. But, you can opt for a distance education degree where there is some relaxation. If you belong from any reserved category, then I would like to suggest you to check the criteria of the concerned institution. Because, there is some relaxation for the reserved candidates.
Also, for LLM, less than 45% of marks in graduation is not adequate enough unless you belong from a specialized reserved c

Hi,
See, opting for higher studies after LLM shall just be a choice based on your ambitions.
However, LLM in itself is sufficient these days to fetch better results for oneself. Even though it is sufficient, but yes having other accolades is an add-on.
You may pursue Doctorate, as well or any other course as you wish.
However, going by the trends, a person having LLM from a good institute in itself is sufficient. Also, freshers are highly preferred these days for the jobs by various law firms and also not much weightage is given for additional qualifications provided you have a good CV of yours.
You could take a job also and you would get o

Hey there,
Well pursuing LLM requires a valid LLB degree from any recognised university.
However, for admission to Delhi University for LLM requires you a first class degree in law.
Also, an entrance takes place based on which candidates are selected.
However, for any other traditional university, there are cut-off for admissions which differ every year.
Also, there are certain universities where there is no criteria for a prescribed percentage and admission happen on first come first serve basis.
So, what you need to do is first sort out a list of colleges as per your interest and then apply to them as per your needs and requirements.

Hey.
After completing your LLB, you have an option to go for PG which may be an LLM or an MBA.
LLM includes a Master's degree in law which provides you a specialisation in certain laws and you get a Master's degree in those subjects. Also, you become eligible for UGC NET for academic purpose also.
Also, LLM fetches you the same advantage as an MD after MBBS in medical.
However, MBA is something which is preferred by a lot of students as it is a deadly combo these days. The corporate houses do prefer a law and MBA graduate and also your prospects of better offers increase.
It does make a lot of sense to go for MBA but from a premier institut
