Is law a good undergrad for MBA? I was at NALSAR but came back because i felt terrible there. Now i am getting HPNLU which is near my home (good thing). Is it possible to build a good career in law starting from here? Why is there so much elitism among folks from other colleges? My other option is to join a BBA college but it is tier 3. I would really appreciate helpful, detailed responses. Thanks :)
I said so before and will say so again: LLB alone is a worthless degree. There is an oversupply of lawyers and every third law grad went to some NLU or the other. In the future 90% of students will be doing either an LLB-MBA, or LLB-CA, or a highly super-specialised LLM, in finance, tech etc.

Coming to your case, as HPNLU is near your home you can go for it and visit home every weekend, enjoying home comforts. But you must plan for something afterwards. An MBA is a fine choice and you can start prep now itself.
"every third law grad went to some NLU" is factually incorrect, at the moment there are approx 120,000 law graduates each year, only about, 4500 are from the NLUs.
Get your facts corrected.

1721 law schools are having more than 2 lakh seats and 1.75 lakh lawyers produced per annum.
bro fir to MBA me kam log h , around 4 lakh people graduate every year, lekin jobs are much much more.
Is changing plans at the last moment and deciding to sit for CLAT one month before the exam and then getting an all india rank around 1500 failure? Certainly not a great rank by any means but definitely not a failure. And in my humble opinion, MBA success CAN make a lot of difference. What would you say to the countless "JEE failures" who went to tier 3 eng colleges and still made it to ABC??? Pls stop overhyping CLAT. For all i know, it is a bad metric to check how well you would do in law school (i don't say this, many professors said this.)
"There is an oversupply of lawyers and every third law grad went to some NLU or the other. "

The arrogance with which this statement has been made, without even realising that it applies to MBA grads as well. I mean there has been an oversupply of MBA grads for a long time now. More than 5000 colleges offer MBA programmes and in 2021 alone there were more than 4L+ people who enrolled in them.

Good that you chose MBA, because looks like you don't how to build a good enough argument in the first place. Kya vakeel banega re tu?
Yes, a good MBA followed by a law degree is a great choice. Make sure you target a top business school.
Away from home. Not prepared much. Mental health issues. And I was actually pursuing IPM there
OP ye pehle batao - sabko galat impression deke existential crisis de diya
If an MBA is your goal, then look to do a BBA-LLB (Hons.). This way you can aim for a 1-year MBA program (rather than a 2-year one). This is possible because, in the BBA portion, you'll have already covered the 1st year MBA subjects. A 1-year MBA will not only save time but also money.
what BS, bhai BBA in BBA LLB is nothing but mockery. Logon k ye nhi pata h marketing management, HR, accounting aur finance hota kya h. You only remain absorbed in core legal conepts and some BBA-related concepts just for the namesakes. And Mr. James Bond, how will that have an impact on 2-year MBA and why, ye batana zra? total rubbish
That is what i heard from people, sir. And 1 year MBA is not necessarily less expensive. ISB MBA is the most expensive in India.
Sir, ISB MBA is not an MBA. It is a certificate by ISB. US Immigration ke hisab se + Indian Sarkari naukri where MBA is needed, ISB degree is not an MBA and is worthless.

"Accordingly, there is validity to the EDGE assessment that it is not equivalent to a master's degree program in the United States."

ohh bhai, jake pata krle thoda about ISB mba. It is recognized by International universities, something which even mid-level IIMs have not been able to rope in. Look at the alumni of ISB, and where all they are placed. Why would ISB need an accreditation from UGC when it has hand of foreign companies?
Thanks for answering. But i heard from some people that BBA or BA in the integrated law program is not actually given much attention
Also, is the BBA syllabus covered in BBALLB and in standalone BBA same?
BBALLB grad here, our teachers used to flurry the syllabus coz they believe that we are studying law and management has not relevance in that.
no. out of 5 you read only 2 or three management subjects. Plus BBA only remains till 3rd year, post which core law subjects are taken up.
You left NALSAR? You felt terrible? Arrey bhai 😭😭😭

I hope there was some valid reason behind it and you are not being a snowflake otherwise you are going to regret it.
No, it really doesn't. NLUD people like to think that it does, because they do not have any knowledge about other law school grads having done the same things in equal or greater numbers.
