Shiksha Top Questions

Hi,
I think more than the scope, the interest of individual matters for success in a particular area of law. Let's say, for example, I am interested in information technology law but I pursue consumer law after my law school. I would not be working with that zeal or enthusiasm as compared to IT law. Therefore, according to me, the interest mattes more than the scope as you can make money under any area of law and practice.
But coming to the question, most of the areas of law are interlinked. Which one has a better scope? I think both of these are too diverse fields and have a lot of subject matters within. Both information technology and consumer law are governed by specific legislation. But surely, in the era of information technology I think information technology law has better scope in the future. It is because of the fact that with growing technology, the offenses and penalties would be increased and would surely be one of the most interesting areas of law.

I would say take up Lady Shri Ram. I have a friend who studied humanities in Lady Shri Ram, and frequently interacted with students from Ramjas. And there is a major difference between these two.
Lady Shri Ram has an advantage- it is located in South Campus, far away from the hustle and bustle of North Campus. A lot of people believe it to be a disadvantage, but I believe for studying History it is an advantage. Why? Because Lady Shri Ram is never directly affected by any rapid or random change in Delhi University. It also has a great library, and sometimes Ramjas students need to ask LSR girls for books which they were unable to find in their own library.
LSR has a great faculty, which concentrates on grooming the individual, making them conscious about history and historical writing. It also has a strong Students Union which organizes a great history fest, Antiquity, has a close interaction with Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) School of Social Sciences (which is near LSR) and also has tie-ups with INTACH, Dastangoi, etc.
If you want to feel the discipline, learn History without putting a commercial element to it, then go to LSR. As a woman, LSR is a liberating sphere, it gives you much more than just education. It is also the leading college of the country now, for a reason.
The statistics speak, so do the experience of students. I think you should take these into account while deciding where to study humanities.

Hey.
I think more than the scope, the interest of an individual matter for success in a particular area of law. Let's say, for example, I am interested in Taxation Law but I I pursue criminal law after my law school. I would not be working with that zeal or enthusiasm as compared to taxation law. Therefore, according to me, the interest mattes more than the scope as you can make money under any area of law and practice.
But coming to the question, most of the areas of law are interlinked. Let's say, avoiding taxes or not disclosing proper income would be a criminal offense. So, apart from the knowledge of tax law, you would also need to know fundamentals of criminal law in order to help out your client. There are several law firms which specialize in either of these. So, if you are not looking for independent practice, you can join these. But the scope of criminal law is generally wider than tax law considering each area of law has some intersection with the criminal law in some form or the other.

Hi,
National Law School of India University is one of the best places to be if you are looking for a placement. The university has 100% placement record for the people opting for placements for past several years. Students get placed at various places such as foreign law firms such as Allen and Overy, Linklaters, HSF and several domestic firms. The jobs are not restricted to law firms but extend to various banks, companies among others. People can opt for any of these.
Apart from these, the opportunities include working with lawyers at several High Courts or in Supreme Court. A student generally gets placed at the end of the fourth year or during the fourth year. "Day 0" is the day when various law firms and companies come for recruitment. This day is generally the first day of April or last day of the March. So, overall the placements are quite good with average package increasing every year.

Follow the tips mentioned below:
1. Read two newspapers every day, EVERY DAY- I would suggest the Hindu and Indian Express. Online or whatever. Read Editorials and Op-Ed properly.
2. Read Frontline every week cover to cover

Also read Seminar magazine Seminar Magazine, a monthly in-depth magazine, published by Seminar Publications, New Delhi especially January issue for past 4-5 years.
6: Get basic textbooks like those by Andrew Heywood. Ensure you do concepts, theory, and philosophy.
7: Acquire a copy of Oxford Companion to Politics in India (Students Edition) Read as much as you can. You may not understand all of it, but get going :)
8. Take time after a lot of reading to sit and write some argumentative essays.
10. For writing answers in the Entrance you need the following:
Step 1: You need ideas - that is where theories and concepts come in
Step 2: You need knowledge about events and the political history of India and the world.
Step 3: You need to combine 1 & 2 into coherent structured essays. Learn how to support your arguments and opinions with facts, theories, and concepts.

Once you complete a course in international business, you can get into the below-mentioned careers:
- Indian Foreign Service
Considered a prestigious service to be part of, the Indian Foreign Service is one of the best possible options for an individual wishing to pursue a career in international relations. Along with earning lucratively, one can also gain a lot of exposure by serving on behalf of the nation in various countries on deputation.
In order to be part of the Indian Foreign Service, one needs to clear the Civil Service examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission and subsequent rounds. Once absorbed into the service, the Ministry of External Affairs conducts intensive training before deputing officers within the country and subsequently to other countries on behalf of the nation.
- World agencies and international NGOs
A large number of not-for-profits work across the world on a wide variety of issues. It is important for them to understand the countries they are working in to be able to devise effective interventions. Consider the United Nations.
The United Nations is a world body engaged in activities ranging from peacekeeping to funding developmental projects in fields such as education, healthcare and so on. Being a multilateral organization with the presence in several nations, the United Nations recruits professionals with qualifications and experience in international relations to be able to effectively understand local government policies, prevailing political/economic conditions.
- Multinational business houses and world bodies
The trade world is literally without borders as more and more companies/business houses are setting up shop in countries across continents. Similarly, changes in policies/political conditions/economic climate or even natural calamities affect businesses all over the world and not just in countries where they take place. Organisations like the World Bank, business houses operating in multiple continents and even governments of countries recruit professionals with expertise in international relations/law/trade etc to be able to analyze and interpret events accurately and plan/re-plan their strategies accordingly.
- Journalism
As mentioned repeatedly through this entire article, globalization has impacted all sectors and journalism is no exception. Reporting, be it politics, economics or any other subject, has never been simple but has grown all the more complex today.

In arts, Lady Shri Ram College is the best, so I guess, English honors is the best. The faculty is better here at DU.
I have completed my honors degree from DU, and where it excels is the exposure a student gets, you will meet students from every nook of the country and cultures, try to absorb all that you can. As a literature student reading is your duty, read as much as you can, write whatever you can, push yourself, participate in extracurricular activities and that's all.
On an informal note, even English at Jadavpur University is considered best. So decide on others factors, like what after English and placements, which places suits you best.
