There are various reasons due to which law undergraduates from NLS Bangalore and NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad earn more than the IIT students. 

• Since the economic liberalization in the early ’90s, economic activities such as FDI, mergers and acquisitions, loans, IT boom, startup culture have really picked up. This has increased the demand for qualified corporate law practitioners. 
• Compliance with the laws of the land is a big challenge for companies, especially MNCs. They are ready to pay any amount to remain legal and work under the ambit of the law.
• The number of law students graduating from top law schools is about 200-250, who are capable of handling the work of the 7 top law firms. 
• On the other hand, IITs and IIMs churn out thousands of students and in very diverse fields as well.
• Law being a very niche field also gives leverage to the students to demand higher salaries. An IIT/IIM graduate may get a CTC of INR 25 LPA. 
• But a law associate will probably be getting a higher in-hand salary with a package of INR 17 lakhs. This is because a law graduate’s salary does not include components such as equity, provident fund, stock options, insurance, and many more.
• An associate at a law firm has to pay a lot of taxes. This also increases a law graduate’s in-hand salary.

The law firms work in the partnershipmodel. Thus a few years down the line you have a chance to become a partner and earn quite a lot more by sharing profits.

The subjects offered at both institutes are full-time courses. NALSAR and NLSIU are both premier educational institutes of the country that offer professional law degrees. 

The courses offered by these institutes start after class 12 for several LLB courses, thus it leads to absolutely no question about you having time to pursue a job. The reason is that it is impossible to pursue a job while pursuing a course as vivid as the one mentioned above. The degree you will acquire is not a part-time degree that is easily feasible at several second-tier universities.

The classes usually extend from 9 A.M. to about 12.30 P.M., while the afternoon classes commonly stretch from 2 P.M. to 4 P.M.

However, in case you are pursuing a distance learning program, which does not include L.L.B, then you can undeniably continue your job. 

Law is a profession that promises a lot of versatility. According to some of my friends who opted for Law, you can pursue a number of avenues if you have a degree in law. Some of them include:

• Judiciary: If you are interested in joining the judicial level then go for IJS. It conducts competitive exams, prelims, finals, interviews and also training. It is very similar to the IAS.
• Teaching: Once you complete your Masters, you will have to crack the NET or the National Eligibility Test which is conducted by the UPSC and start working as an assistant professor in a government college or university. Some private institutes even accept candidates who have not cleared the NET.
• General Counsel: You can also join a company and work as their in-house legal advisor. You will take care of compliance and be in charge of settling disputes faced by the company.
• Law Firm: You can try being a legal associate with a law firm. The compensation you will receive is directly proportional to the reputation of the firm.
• LPO: You can work as an associate of a firm that is involved in outsourcing and caters to high profile clients. This may also include contracts. This can get you international exposure.

Last but not the least; you can try your hand in litigation: This is the most traditional form of law practice. You will have to go to courts, interact with clients, address the jury and judges, etc. This will get you a lot of clout.

One of my friends graduated from CMS Nalsar University and here is her insight on the MBA program. According to her, here are some of the reasons why you should consider CMS NALSAR for your MBA. 

• You will have good exposure. There is a mandate of 2 live projects and 1 internship.
• There is a lot of focus on the implementation of practical knowledge. For example, it has an MoU with T-Hub. This will give you a chance to intern at start-ups and get a sneak peek into the start-up world.
• As a student of CMS NALSAR, you will get to learn the techniques of investor pitching and branding. CMS completely changes your persona.
• If you are looking primarily at placements with fancy salaries or established firms, you will be a little disappointed. The institute still needs a little time to mature. According to the recent placement highlights the highest and average CTC offered to the MBA students at CMS were 10 LPA and 5 LPA respectively. Overall, if you are self-motivated and not affected by the white noise, you can make the most of your time there.

Doing an MBA from a Law school can be daunting, as it is a road less taken. But my friend swears it was the best decision she has made so far.

Many of my friends studied at NALSAR Hyderabad. According to them, the institute has a great reputation for producing some of the best law practitioners in the country. 

However, ragging is a major concern for all first-year students here even though the study environment and the classes are really great. The food served at the mess is really horrendous and not hygenic. 

Sometimes, seniors will take you to their place for some “positive interaction” which you may not find positive at all.

NALSAR is situated nearly 35 km from Secunderabad city. The classes are conducted from 9 AM-5 PM every day. Apart from this, you can choose late hours for tutorials and projects. The seniors preferably choose late night timings. 

Being a day scholar, you might be able to attend a few morning lectures some days after covering huge distances. However, it is difficult to be present for all of them as guest lectures happen on weekends usually.

One of my seniors was a local himself and he preferred to stay on the campus on weekdays. Going out can be hectic and you need permission from the warden. It will be tiresome for you to travel to the campus and back again at home. It will be practically impossible for you as a day scholar.

Yes, It is possible to do so. If you prepare thoroughly over the next five months, you would easily get admission at NALSAR. 

• Concentrate on the areas of your preparation where you are making mistakes. Take a test series from any reputable CLAT coaching institution. 
• You can attempt several mock tests throughout your preparation journey to ensure that you ace the examination with an extremely good score.
• Also, don’t be anxious because of the score you achieved last year. You can do better in your next attempt at the examination. CLAT paper is different for every year.
• Ensure to complete the current affairs sections as soon as possible. 
• Do practice Mathematics and questions related to Laws for a better result. Many aspirants make a mistake that has become very common nowadays and that is to not prepare those sections in which they are good during the last moments. 

Consistency is what would help you achieve a good score in the exam. Always maintain a balance among the areas of your strengths and weaknesses. 

CLAT is an aptitude entrance test to get into Law institutes such as top NLU’s, NALSAR, NLIU, NUJS, etc. According to one of my friends who was in a similar situation, 4 months is a sufficient time for anyone to crack CLAT provided they study with focus, commitment. 

The ways to follow through the preparation of CLAT: -

• Joining a successful coaching institute. 
• They generally start with a crash course program in a very highly competitive atmosphere. 
• They provide the right materials, motivation for the students to excel. 
• They provide mock tests on a regular basis to see where you stand.
• Studying on your own is also an excellent choice if you know about the pattern and questions. 
• Contact any coaching for the mocks and material and get yourself enrolled in an online program. 
• Study and revise the topics through the recorded sessions as per your choice. 
• They give you all the practice material and help you devise the proper strategy to crack the exam.

It is definitely possible to crack CLAT in a 4 month time with proper guidance and dedication. So do not worry and go ahead with your decision.

Strategy is something that you need to design on your own. What worked for someone else may not work for you. There may be a common ground of how to go about some subject for your CLAT preparation. But no one can give you any full proof plan. You need to develop your own strategy based on your strengths and weaknesses. 

Now let’s discuss whether you can clear CLAT with one month of preparation or not. It depends on your level of preparation. 

• If you are starting from scratch, then it will be quite difficult. Since the new format of CLAT demands consistency and regularity to secure a decent score. And it takes time to get to the level of that preparation. But if you are gifted with great comprehension and reasoning skills then I guess you can prepare for the examination in one month. 
• Now if you already have a hang of the subjects but are not confident about your preparation, then I will suggest you practice as many critical reasoning questions and comprehension as you can.
• If you have missed GK for a few months catch up on it and attempt a few sample questions to get the hang of the new pattern. 
• For logical reasoning don’t just solve the sample paper released by the Consortium, solve past years’ questions too. The consortium itself acknowledged that past years’ questions can be useful. 
• For Quantitative Aptitude, solve questions from the internet or from study materials. Apart from a few questions, this section is generally easy. 

So if you have a hang of the subjects, consistent practice is the key to ace the test.
