We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
As far as placements are concerned, don't restrict yourself to corp placements only, there are other things like research institutes that pay a decent salary.
To answer your question, yes, an LLB degree from NLS would be beneficial for you. However, if you are looking for corp placements then that may just be a difficult task.
As a side note, a person from the MPP 2023 batch is a civil servant in West Bengal who had cracked the WBCS exe exam in 2020, if I am not wrong. His name is Sujoy [in case the moderator allows it]. you can reach out to him on LinkedIn as he would be in a better position to guide you than any of us on LI.
The question is whether 3 Year LLB be just another LLM like course while the legacy 5 years program continues to be the elite one. Even the current elite 5 year LLB in NLSIU lost its value because of increasing seats and caste reservations.
You should also apply for DU 3Y LLB, it's a good programme.
1. I would advise you to consider an MBA or PGDM, as the diversity of career options is greater. The fact that you studied history could indicate that maths is not your forte, but these days women get preference for admission in MBA courses. You can aim for IIM + SP Jain + IIT+ Jamnalal Bajaj + MICA + FMS + FORE. A few others too.
2. If you are unable to secure admission to the above colleges, only then consider NLSIU for a 3 year LLB.
Caveat: I am assuming you belong to the general quota. If not, then keep trying for government jobs. Something is guaranteed to work out.
Trust me, this is a good plan for you.
