I have around 5 years of work experience as a company secretary. Completed my LLB from a State University with not so flying marks. As a one year break is not possible for me, I wish to pursue the online LLM conducted by JGLS in collaboration with Upgrad..... which has a specialization in financial and corporate law. The fees for this course is Rs 3.5 lakhs. Can you please help me with answers to the below questions (no trolling please, this is a genuine ask as I am unaware and do not want to spend moneys blindly).
(i) Although JGLS doesn't provide a placement support, Upgrad does. Assuming that I am an academically inclined person and do this course sincerely, would it add to my credentials and enable me to get a good corporate lawyer / in house counsel job (I haven't worked in a law firm so am ruling out that option).
(ii) Does LLM in itself make someone eligible for a high profile position or is it more academic in nature.
Please share any experiences of your friends or colleagues who have pursued this course etc.
