The CLAT is the entrance exam for NLU's law degree, whereas the NIFT is the entrance exam for NIFT's design courses. Both are gateways to completely different careers in fashion and law. Therefore, the placement and salary for these courses cannot be compared. After graduating from a top NLU, you could earn up to 15 LPA in a law firm. A prestigious NIFT campus can also offer you a comparable placement package for designers. It is just that you have more career opportunities after pursuing a design course from NIFT than a law course from NLU. This is because getting a license to practice law requires passing the AIBE exam, and the legal profession also requires more experience.
