Shiksha Top Questions

Personally, I would suggest to stick to LLB. LLB in itself is very rewarding, if you specialize in any one subject either, crime or civil or other specialization like IPR or competition law. Being an efficient lawyer requires a great deal of hard work. So, it would be good if you focus on one thing and do it whole heartedly. Still, if you want to pursue another course which goes parallel with LLB is CA. If you have knowledge of chartered accountant and specialize in income tax cases while doing law, you could become the king in this field. And, your Carter prospects takes another leap. Companies will pounce on you to hire you. Moreover, you yourself can start your own firm provided you do lots of networking while pursuing these courses to fetch clients.

If you are pursuing political science then you must be a UPSC aspirant. Political science course in itself is so vast that if you focus on it, you will not require any parallel course. But if you are aiming for UPSC then I would refer you some books that you should read that would increase your insight and at the same time prepare you for UPSC examinations. The first one is Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth and the second is India's Struggle for Independence by Bipin Chandra. The book Indian Polity is considered the bible for UPSC exams as there are approx 25 questions you will get in that exam from Indian Polity for sure. On the other hand, India's struggle for independence is also an important book which enlightens you about the facts and all the hard work India went through to attain independence. If you are a first-year student, I would recommend you to start taking general studies coaching from your second year.
If you do these things, you won't need any other parallel course while doing political science.

Hey There.
An additional qualification is always an addon for your career and enhances your job prospects.
Now having a certificate course or Diploma or an LLM in banking law would grab the attention of law firms as well as the corporate firms and you get a better chance of getting placed.
The additional qualification in banking law is preferred by firms as the person is deemed to have an additional knowledge of Banking Act and the SARFAESI which in recent times have got importance and need special hands to take the matters and thus you would be among the priorities of recruiters.
Also, banking law is something in which not many people opt for a specialisation and thus there is a dearth of candidates.
So, your overall prospects increase and also you are in a better position to attempt those queries related to banking and SARFAESI Act.

Hi,
Well CA in itself is a course that needs no recognition. However, if you wish to pursue a course that is directly linked to CA, it could be both.
For instance, a better placement would require preferably an MBA after CA.
Also, while an independent CA practitioner would have LLB to his aid.
Thus, the choices shall depend on what you want with regard to your career.
If you want a better placement after CA, MBA would be an option that would yield better results. Also, the corporate houses prefer a CA with an MBA. Though CA itself is more than enough but yes an addon is something that would always be a great help.
So if you want to be an independent CA practitioner then I believe CA+LLB is a very good option and if you wish to bag a great job offer then you should opt for CA +MBA.
However, CA alone is quite sufficient but if you look forward to an additional course then do choose one based on your career preferences later.

I would suggest you to go to Hindu College for humanities courses whether it's political science or any other course. Being a north campus college, Hindu offers a student everything that he/she requires to excel in one's field. The faculty consists of some of the best professors who have completed their studies from abroad so you can expect a top class study atmosphere in Hindu College. Apart from political science, it also offers humanities courses like English (Hons.), Phil. (Hons.), History (Hons.) etc. The cut-offs are relatively high in Hindu College than Gargi so it's pretty hard to get in but once you get in, you will truly come out as a brighter and better person. The library of Hindu is one of the best in Delhi University as it contains thousands of books on various topics. Even if you don't want to buy your course books, you can always find them in the library. Being a Hinduite, I can proudly say that Hindu is by far the best college of Delhi University for Humanities courses!
