Hi there,
Well, the University of Lucknow is a good university for courses and the faculty of law here has been a choice by many and it has some very famous alumnis. Buy being a traditional university it has a backdrop of not having any placements cell as such. However, you can expect a good education in terms of law which again would depend on the interest of students as it suffers some loopholes including a standard academic and also the classrooms are not made mandatory even and again student bodies make it even difficult to let the academics be forced.
The placements opportunities at the campus level are nil and you have to make sure you have plans after graduations. Also, you make get recommendations from college but no placements as such.
However, being a law graduate, you would have options which would vary from student to student.
You may option litigation or judiciary. Also, you may apply at firms which would depend on your CV and your knowledge and expertise.

Hi,
Kerala Law Academy is one of the most prestigious law institution in the State as well as of the country. The students have a great academic and extracurricular record. To co-ordinate and facilitate placements, there is a placement Center in the college. It provides students with great opportunities at several places including law firms, corporations among others. These companies and law firms provide students with internships as well as recruitment opportunities. The most important names among them is Surana and Surana.
However, the work of this Placement Center is not just restricted to looking for internships and potential recruiters but also extends to help students with career planning, advice, and guidance with respect to further studies etc.
Hope this helps.

Hi there,
Well, Galgotias University is based in NCR and offers other courses apart from law as well.
However, placements for other courses such B.Tech, etc. are decent even though. You can't expect the law firms recruiting here. However, you may expect some of corporate firms and LPOs recruiting here though owing to the reputation based as a traditional university.
Also, it has an advantage of being based in NCR wherein you get ample opportunities for better exposure in terms of internships, etc.
However, till now, no law firms of tier1 or tier 2 has recruited here. Even tier 3 hasn't preferred it.
Though in coming times you may expect tier 3 firms and some corporate houses ending up as a recruit here which depends on quality of students and overall reputation of institute. But, in NCR region, I would advise to prefer other institutes which seem to be better in terms of placements and are older enough to provide an insight into the placements.

This question required a lot of research and what I inferred from is that there are no placement opportunities available for the students taking admissions in distance law colleges. However there are a variety of career opportunities available even after the distance law programme. For example- Cracking judiciary level exams, government jobs available for law officers, legal advisors in banks or MNCs, litigation or even going purely into the corporate sector.
I would like to place my point of view in this answer. To be honest I feel and I have even seen at many places that regular students are given preference over distant college students. Also, one should option for classroom studies for law because Law is a professional degree and hence it should be studied also professionally. We get to learn a lot in classroom education through open discussions, debates, presentations, etc. So, I honestly feel to get better placement or better career opportunities in future, a regular college is necessary.
But, all this is just my point of view so you don't need to be influenced much, it is just for your help as I am telling you as to what I have heard or seen.
Choosing one of them is totally your call.
Hope the answer was helpful.
Thank you.

Hi there,
Well, the Guru Gobind Singh Tricentenary University, Gurgaon has offered law courses as recently as in 2014 and offers both 3 years and 5 years law courses.
The university claims to have standards as par with NLUs but still there is always a difference and which makes the placements opportunities also different.
The institute has both 3 year and 5 year courses and it is much like a traditional university. Also, it is in the NCR region where already a no. of well reputed and old law institutes are already available. Thus, you can't expect much here.
You can get a degree in law but you can't expect campus placements as of now.
Also, in terms of university, even it does not have much in its name.
Thus, the placements seem to be poor as still none of batches have graduated.
Also, you shouldn't expect much from a traditional university and if you do then it may be in terms of litigation or judiciary, etc.

Hi there,
Well, the Heritage Law School is very newly established institute and has still time to build goodwill of any sort. The institute claims to have a placements cell but still as the first batch hasn't graduated yet, you can't speculate anything. Also, the prospects in terms of in house campus placements would need a time span of atleast 10-12 years.
The college may be good in terms of infrastructure, etc. but the placements are always based on quality of graduates produced. So, it is unlikely to predict as of now as already there are a no. of private institutes in law and not every college can get the firms recruiting.
However, being a law graduate, you can have your own career plans and can work accordingly in that direction.
Also, as of now the opportunities here could be said to be evolving which may take up a time upto 12 years.
Thus, choose wisely.

Hi,
The Faculty of Law at Bangalore University is one of the most famous colleges in South India. The Placement Cell of the Bangalore University is entirely run by students. This Cell works under the framework of the University. Although the Placement Cell is independent in its functioning, it is supervised by a faculty advisor. The Placement Cell helps in providing students with ample opportunities for placements and recruitments. The recruitments include both on campus and off campus interviews. This is done by approaching potential recruiters. The aim is to promote good relations between the recruiters, faculty, and students.
The firms and corporates that take part in recruitment drive are:
King and Partridge, Anup S Shah Law firm, Kings and Stubbs, Spectrum legal among others. These companies and firms have several graduates of Bangalore University.
Hope this helps.

Hi there,
Well the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar law college Andhra Pradesh is through an institute of good reputation but is not a preference by many. It may be chosen by students belonging to the state only. Also, it doesn't follow any modern education techniques and is traditional in terms. Also, you do not find any internships or placement division at college which makes it poor in terms of providing placements opportunities to students within campus. However, you may find good faculties and administration there and can earn an opportunity of good legal knowledge but not placements at campus. However, that does not forbids you to take your future on your own as you have a law degree and you can apply at various law firms LPOS and corporate firms and PSUs even. Also, you may take up judiciary or litigation or mediation as a career for yourself.
So as such you do not find placement at the campus but yes, in the world outside, you have better prospects and opportunities for yourself.
Thus, maintain a good CV and academic record would help.
Also, internships also would help for better prospects.

Hi there,
Well, pursuing an LLB course through any distance education course would not yield anything more than a degree on paper which would have no practical aid to build up your career.
Same would go with this course at Kuvempu University as the Bar council Of India doesn't recognise LLB through distance learning and ultimately, you become ineligible for appearing in bar exams and you don't get a licence to practice law at any court. So, the placement opportunities after this course would not be any as such .You may get a job having a meagre pay as you do not qualify to be a full-fledged lawyer in India. So, you must not expect placements as such.
Also, this degree may not be even useful in pursuing any other career such as judiciary also as there also you are not eligible.
So, I would advise if you want to make career in legal field then kindly prefer a full-fledged regular law course at any UGC recognised university both for career as well as placements purposes.
