Context, currently a econ undergrad at T1 Delhi University College (hindu/stephens/hansraj). Exploring the possibility of transitioning to law through a 3-year LLB. Had cleared CLAT-UG earlier with a 700–800 AIR.
My interest in law stems from both intellectual curiosity and some family exposure to the profession (non-corporate).
Just want to get advice, opinions and guidance from industry folks and seniors who have more experience. Before I make a commitment, I’d appreciate candid insights on:
1. How to determine whether a legal career (litigation, corporate) is the right fit.
2. Whether pursuing an LLB at this stage is a sound move compared to alternative routes (like an MBA/UPSC).
3. The best institutions for a 3-year LLB in India (I’m aware of DU, NLSIU Bangalore, and Bhopal) and potential global options (UK/elsewhere).
4. The professional scope and career trajectory for 3-year LLB graduates, both in India and abroad.
I’m looking for advice, honest guidance and reality checks from practitioners and people already in the industry, who’ve seen this path from the inside.
Cheers!
