Shiksha Top Questions

First of all, both are very different areas and they shouldn't be compared, but I would still answer it as to the best of my knowledge.
There is no official data available in India about the number of lawyers in both areas and about their salaries so it becomes tough to compare both.
Business law is about disputes between firms, companies, partnerships, and small businesses.
All these people or most of these companies, partnerships, and firms have their fixed lawyers and when any dispute arises their lawyers fight (I mean the same lawyer for that company), but when it comes to consumer protection laws, it is emerging day by day because awareness among the consumers is increasing and the number of cases is also increasing day by day and they don't have any fixed lawyers.
So, from this point of view, consumer protection law has more scope.

I think by better scope you mean better income, so here is the comparison:
Corporate law
According to the United States Bureau of Labour Statistics, the projected job growth for corporate lawyers is 6% (2014-2024) and their median annual salary is $ 1,15,000.
In India, after completing a course in corporate law, you can be hired by a business firm or a large MNC at a good salary package.
The starting salary depends on your skills and from which college you have completed your course. In general, you may get anywhere Rs. 25000 to 45000 per month. After some experience, you can easily get Rs. 50,000 to 1,00,000.
International trade law
According to the payscale.com, in 2016, international trade specialists made a median annual salary of $62,641 and the job growth is same as corporate lawyers.
In India, lawyers in this field are very less in number and this will give you the advantage to earn and in the beginning, you may earn from INR 40,000 to 60,000 per month and after some experience, it may go up to 15-20 LPA.
Salary packages shall vary on different factors like company, education, candidates skills, work experience, etc.
So which one has a better scope that you should decide based on your interests.

Nowadays, choosing a correct profession is really tough work. But still, there are many good choices
Since last few year, engineering has lost its fame because of fewer jobs and more colleges. So, students are thinking twice before choosing B.Tech which is why B.Tech has become a less sought course from some years.
Now, medicine has a wide scope and job. Right now, India has 1 Doctor for 10k people and India need more doctors. Also, there is a need for Indian companies for medicine and pharmaceuticals which give medicines at a low price. So, this field has a good scope in future.
Law: In India, over 10 million cases are put on hold or pending. This is only because of less time but when there are a good amount of Lawyers and Judges then these cases could be solved but law is not a sought course among students because there is less money involved in this field which is the thing that Indians needs the most.
Civil Service: When we ask a small kid about what do you want to do in future? 6 out 10 will answer that they want to become IAS Officers. This job is extremely popular apart from the money it offers which attracts lakhs of students every year. This job offers both power and honour which is not provided by any job.
All this makes me think that for students nowadays, Civil Services is the most sought profession then engineering then medical and if some are not able to take admission in B.Tech or medical then they go for Law.
But this must change because India needs us. There should be a change in the order mentioned above which should be civil service at the top then medical then law and then engineering as required by India.

One could refer Arihant or any of the book for LSAT but the main target should be to command on the portions covered in the examination. If one is doing coaching, the coaching provides the study materials which are more than sufficient. It tests mainly the reasoning ability and English. So, one should gain a command on it only by doing more and more practice of the reasoning portion. Also, by improving vocabulary, one can attain a command on the English portion to some extent. Basically, one can purchase books for reasoning. Whatever one seems fit and comfortable. At last, I would like to state that Thomas Alva Edison said - " Success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." So friends, take inspiration from the book and practice more and more to command the topics.

One could refer any of the books for CLAT that seems fit and comfortable but the main target should be to command on the portions covered in CLAT. If one is doing coaching, the coaching provides the study material on all the topics covered in CLAT.And, they provide the right guidelines for preparation. The most important thing that needs to be focused is the legal and the GK portion because they cover 100 marks and in GK, one should cover the current affairs portion as it covers 90% of the questions in GK. The static portion does not need deep study. Just an overview is enough. But the main thing to be focused is the time management. One has to answer 200 questions in 120 minutes. So, if one has a command on all the topics but is not focused on time, one may seriously will not be able to qualify the desired National Law University. So, focus more on time, legal portion, and general knowledge.
