I've been researching reading testimonials, talking to llm students and grass and also talked to partners and founders at T2, T3 firms and it seems that the opinion is unanimous that LLM credential is not something which will improve job prospects unless you wanna go into academics or govt job. They barely have placements as the LLM candidates have to invite firms and Cos seperately and no T1's or T2's even respond.
On top of this it's honestly depressing how faculties, admin and even bachelor's students treat LLM students. I've seriously considered dropping the plan to attend the program altogether. Only possible merits are:
1) Networking with a good peer group
2) Getting NLU alumni tag
3) Access to good facilities and some semblance of a law college life which I personally lacked at a shit pvt college
Few reasons:
1. LLM students are treated very well. Senior Professors are reserved who teach only LLM students.
2. Jindal experience (international conferences, good food, laundry, very nice facilities)
3. Not much expensive. Tuition fee of 350000 or 175000 per semester is lowest in all Jindal programs. Scholarships can further reduce.
No jobs and admin doesn’t care after taking hefty fees.
First frehsers , it's more like you are on ur own kind of stuff. Only two PPL i know got decent job through job hunting, rest had to fend for themselves, that too settling for lower-paying Jobs
Thanks.
