Shiksha Top Questions

I would suggest you to opt for SVKM.
My reason is first, the college is located in Mumbai so your chances for internship and exposure is higher in this case. Plus, being a private college in Mumbai, they can call good firms, corporate houses, companies, etc. for recruitments thus giving better placements.
Also, being one of the best private Universities in India, they have good faculty, infrastructure, everything.
The reviews that I got from students studying there is good.
With NUSRL, the issue is the location. Although Ranchi is a developing city, still.
Just because of the NLU tag, one should not opt for a college as regarding exposure and everything, SVKM would be better according to me.

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 proceeds on the subject area on which a person wants to research upon. So, it is not only subject specific but also topic specific as it is generally done on a particular topic.

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 Bachelor's degree in law. It can be either a 3-years degree of law or 5-years. PhD, on the other hand, requires Master's degree in law. Therefore, it's only after Master's degree that you can pursue Ph.D.
Hope this helps.

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 which you plan to pursue. While some may require only Bachelor's degree, others might also require Master's degree.
LLM, on the other hand, is subject area specific and not topic specific. The eligibility for LLM is only a Bachelor's degree in law.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
English Literature definitely has an edge over philosophy for sure. An English Literature or Philosophy degree qualifies you for any number of careers that have no specific skill set. Basically, it is a degree that assures potential. For instance, many people think you must have a degree to do job, but most entry-level jobs have such a steep learning curve that the need for a specific degree is obviated. Lots of English and Liberal Arts Major are doing jobs in marketing, communications, sales, etc.
All the Philosophy Majors, whom I know graduated in computer science. All the English majors who went to graduate school became lawyers or MBAs.
All the best.

Ok, so without any further ado, let me tell you that life at an NLU is an eye opening experience. Indeed, college life is an experience of a life time but as a budding lawyer studying at a National Law University, the chances of being shaken to your core and being challenged in every aspect is very likely.
Here, one will learn (if one wishes to) how to balance academics and co-curricular activities. One will learn that time management is of utmost importance and while maintaining good grades consistently is important, debates and mooting should take an upper berth as they will help you to hone your oratory skills and bring out the lawyer in.
Law school will teach you to survive in the most pathetic conditions, to eat the most inedible food, to learn how to accommodate with people and their absurd attitudes and beliefs and often assimilate. Life at a NLU will shake your beliefs and challenge you intellectually. There will be people with whom one will share a life time of a bond and with others, it might be a more cordial relationship. Enemies might be there but that's when a lawyer's diplomacy comes to aid.
NLUs will give you plenty of opportunities to grow, if one wishes to grab them. Academic, culture, sports, debating, etc. everything will be there for everybody to decide what their forte is.
Basically, life in a NLU is simply amazing, magical and worth the pain and effort it takes to get in there.

In the recent times, Environmental Law is sought after by many Law Students for further studies. In India the scope of this field is growing each day and to accommodate the requirements, many colleges have started Environmental Law. Not many Colleges are there in India for the same but the best ranked these days is National Law School of India University which is in Bangalore. This college is in the limelight for all the good reasons. Excellent results, great faculty and best opportunities.
In the list of best colleges National Law University, Delhi and Indian Law Institute of Delhi have also made their name. Both of these are one of the oldest law colleges and are best in their field.
The above given are the best colleges in Environmental Law. Many more stand in the list but I have given the names after analysing their factors.
Hope the answer was helpful.

Hello,
DY Patil law school has managed to earn a name for itself in few years of it's establishment. It also has a vibrant placement cell which is in touch with industry and hence is able to place students in different industries. A law graduate can get absorbed as a law officer in different companies. Many students are placed as interns in law firms as well as with reputed lawyers. Many students prefer to study further in some or the other specialisation. Then there are some students who want to start off on their own and want to practice in a court of law. All this and some more opportunities are provided / given to the students of D Y Patil law school by the active placement cell of the college which is apparently in touch with the industry to fathom it's requirement. All this makes this to be the right institute to study.
