The recent UGC notification allows people with 4 year degrees to write NET. NLSIU allows people with LLB and 75 percent marks in LLB to go for PhD. I feel in India, even if you're from a tier 69 NLU, you'll learn more in your UG degree than your PG degree. At present, how is LLM relevant in academia? Should colleges only require a PhD degree for recruiting Assistant Professors? Another option would be to create posts like Academic Assistant or Academic Fellows and hire people with just UG degree. I'm sure many of the good people from NLUs would actually take up such jobs right after their UG. What do you think?
