Asian Law College, Noida does not offer LLM.
According to their official website, there are only two courses that they offer that is BALLB and LLB and I have checked their website right now.
Even if they offer LLM you should prefer Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University because the fee is very nominal in Ambedkar Law College.
Secondly, you have variety of courses for LLM there and you can choose whatever you want.
There are nine departments. Yes, that's correct- nine departments such as department of business law, department of criminal law, administrative law, environmental law, constitutional law and a lot more.

Hello,
Here, you need to clear your thoughts. LL.B. course has honours papers with it. There you need to study two extra papers for special study. But LL.M. that is Masters in Law is itself a specialised course. There you can't have honours papers. So my friend LL.M. (Hons.) can not be a course. It can be only LL.M. specialised in either in Business Law, Constitutional Law, Criminology and Penology, etc.

Hey.
Both M.Phil in Law and LLM are Master's degree in law. They are pursued after completing the Bachelors in law either a 3-year course or a 5-year nature. The points of difference between the two are the nature of the course as well as time taken to complete it.
Prior to the change of rules by Bar Council of India, it took two years to complete LLM. But now, it just takes a year to complete LLM. MPhil, on the other hand, takes more time than a year.
LLM has a fixed curriculum that is taught in the universities I.e. there are mandatory subjects that are to be studied under the program. M Phil, on the other hand, is independent. It pro

Hi,
The major difference between the two courses is the nature of the degree, the time taken to complete the course and eligibility criteria to pursue either LLM or Ph.D in law.
Recently, the Bar Council of India has reduced the time of LLM from two years to one year. So, now it takes just one year to complete LLM. Ph.D on the other hand generally does not have a fixed time limit. It normally takes around 2-3 years to complete Ph.D.
While LLM is a Master's degree in law, Ph.D is a doctoral degree. Once you complete your Ph.D, you can use Dr. as a prefix to your name.
Coming to the eligibility part for completing LLM, you require a Bache

The major difference between LLM and M.Phil lies in the nature of the degree program. M Phil is a research-based degree. It implies that M.Phil is a specific study taken on any particular aspect of law. LLM, on the other hand, is taught and not that specific.
M Phil is a postgraduate research degree. Instead of having a fixed curriculum to be taught, it is basically an independent project that an individual does on his own. Although you generally work under the supervisor, there is generally no time bound restrictions with respect to thesis submission and assessments. The eligibility of M.Phil degree may be based on the university from

Hi Jaikrishna,
To study LLM abroad, you must complete your LLB. Many universities abroad prefer applicants with some work experience so having 1-2 years of of legal professional experience will definitely help. You must also prepare for tests like IELTS or TOEFL. There may be additional entrance tests but this will depend on which country or which university you are applying to. The admission requirements are different all over and you have to check accordingly.

Hello,
After completing your Masters in Law that is, LLM, you have no additional job benefits compared to a LLB degree holder except academics. Both, LLB and LLM students can apply for any Government job (PSU) like BANK, RAIL etc. But, now a days, most of the Public Sector Units as well as Private companies, prefer LLM candidates. So, if you are a LLM degree holder, then you will be preferred over LLB degree holders. Many companies hire legal officers having LLM degree.
The sole benefit of LLM is academics. LLM will open the gateway for academics. If you have cleared LLM, then you can easily apply in any private law colleges for the pos

Hi,
LLM a post graduate course after LLB in itself is a specialization in law. But also there are certain specializations offered while a student takes up LLM. It could be a LLM in constitutional law or media law or criminal law but yes you are taught other subjects as well.
However the specialization is for one subject for which you need to do research work, take up teaching sessions, present research papers and also do a dissertation.
Then you get a specialization in that particular law.
The course throughout however consists of other laws as well and you are taught some other laws depending on the university and their academic council.

However, LLM in itself is a course that is sufficient and is enough to take you places. Also, you do not get to have many options available while you are already pursuing a full time regular PG course.
Though you have one option that I would advise would add up to your accolades i.e. Company secretary (CS)
This is one of the parallel courses that could be easily taken up and also does not require much of commerce background.
CA would not be possible, as it involves tough subjects and also needs mandatory training which would burdensome your daily life and it would get hectic when your academics is concerned.
Thus, CS is quite possible whil
