Hello,
After completing Ph.D in the field of Law, you are directly entitled to approach in any private or government Law College for the post of Assistant Professor. For such, you need not to clear National Eligibility Test (NET) conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) approved by the University Grant Commission (UGC). This is a settled principle that the candidates having Ph.D in law are exempted from the purview of NET.
The Central as well as the State Government hires candidates who are having Ph.D in law for the purpose of research in various legal fields. Even the Parliament of India requires candidates who are having Ph.D in Law for the interpretation of various statutes and to understand the intent of the legislature and to draft the bill of the any act which will be published as a law.

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 post of Assistant professor. But, if you want to teach in any Government college, then you need to clear National Eligibility Test (NET) for such. The University Grant Commission allows for the post of Assistant Professor to those LLM degree holders who have cleared NET.
After completing LLM, you will always have a preferential position than LLB degree holders.

Well, there is no age limit as such fixed as of now, as the earlier upper age bar was lifted by the Supreme Court on a PIL filed by 2 aspirants.
However, there is an upper age bar on judicial services exam, which differs from state to state for instance, in UP the upper age limit is 35 years while in Haryana it is 40 years.
And, for Delhi also it may be fixed to 32 years most probably.
So, you do not have any age limit to do LLb, but if you aim at judiciary, then you have to make sure to complete the degree within the age limits of judicial services exams of a respective state you look for.
However, you may choose to appear for Higher Judicial Services, where the age bar is available upto 45 years and, thus you get a chance to become a judge after satisfying other eligibilities.
Thus, in a nutshell, age does not really is a bar to become a judge provided you plan it accordingly, as after a maximum age you would be ineligible for any of the 2 exams.

Well this a mistaken idea that majority of law colleges are located in U.P. U.P, being a huge state, it has an advantage of having a number of institutes owing to available land. As there are many states which has a number of law schools for example Gujarat apart from GNLU, has Siddhartha Law college, Auro University Of Law, Institute of Law, Nirma University, United Global World School Of Law, RN Patel school of Law and many more. Thus, it is not the case that UP has majority of law schools as every state has a number of Law schools and universities.
U.P has RMLNLU, Amity University, BHU amongst top and not much Law schools are there comparing with Gujarat. For instance, similar number is there. Also, Delhi has a number of law schools, and so does Maharashtra and Karnataka have.
So, it can't have generalized and concluded that U.P has the majority of law schools, but it does have a good number of law institutes owing to available cheap land and political interference as well.

Indraprastha University however is a good university in Delhi NCR and some of its colleges are quite good for LLB.
Amity (IP) is one amongst the most preferred by students after NLUs, due to its proximity in terms of Delhi region and you get a lot of exposure. The infrastructure is good and you have a very well developing Moot Court Culture there, which is very much required for a budding lawyer. Also, the faculty and library is good and above all, the Delhi region in itself gives a lot of opportunities for growth of students.
VIPS is another such college that has seen preference by students and the students do boast of the infrastructure and the academics.
However, placements are not as impressive as in Amity IP.
Also, university law center of Guru Gobind Singh, IP University is also a preference by students lately owing to the professional attitude, and also the quality of faculty and the trust in University.
Overall these three colleges are much preferred by students when it comes to IP University.

Well VIPS is comparatively new institution, but it is doing well and is improving.
However, you can't expect much as of now, as not many firms visit the campus and it is mostly the tier 3 or newer law firms with not very good package. Also, there is no average package as such, as I mentioned it is a comparatively new institute and firms visit the institutes based on their batches.
The students however may opt for CLAT PG and get a job in PSUs like ONGC IOCl GAIL etc., which depends on their ranks mostly.
Also, other opportunities that a law graduate has are available to the graduate form VIPS.
Though not much opportunities are available as of now in campus, but yes with time there would be an improvement in the placement structure
However, students have options of Judiciary UPSC and IBPS exams available to them at every time. Also, a law graduate is much eligible to have his own practice as well.

The exam syllabus for IPU CET LLB consists of General Knowledge, Basic mathematics, English, logical reasoning and legal aptitude.
For English you may prefer wren &Martin high school grammar and for vocabulary, and passages you may opt for Word power made easy by Norman Lewis.
For mathematics, you may prefer RS Agarwal class 10th arithmetic, and basic algebra and mensuration.
For General knowledge, you may opt for Lucent's General knowledge covering static GK and any other year book such as Manorama, Pratiyogita darpan for current affairs.
For reasoning, you may again opt, R.S Agarwal book.
For legal aptitude, kindly purchase any online material by Career launcher.
Kindly go through previous year papers and mock tests.
Also, focus on reading more and practicing more.

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 while carrying on PG i.e. LLM .The CS course structure is quite relaxing and easy to go.
Moreover, you would have an additional plus point in your CV and this combination is preferred by many law firms and also corporate houses as you shall be deemed to have better knowledge of Corporate structure and you shall be preferred there upon.
Also, other certificate courses could be taken up as many institutes hold certificate courses in various laws.
Also, you may opt any Diplomas, including online Diplomas.
