NALSAR University of Law - [NALSAR], Hyderabad

My best friend was in the science stream and took admission as a B.Tech student in IIT Kharagpur, but afterward, he prepared for Law for 3 months and got through. He's an advocate today. 

It is absolutely possible to prepare for the exam in such a short period. Just maintain the balance and if you could, devote more time for preparation. Strategic time management and discipline are what you need. 

Work on the derivations in Physics and concepts. Read current affairs in between and this will be a good way to work in balance.

Since we are discussing NALSAR University of Law, which is one of the top institutes, it can’t be said with certainty that you will get in with a score of 110-120. 

According to the public record, the number of domestic seats is around 22. So, you can have a chance to get admission, if students who score above you are from the non-domicile category. 

You can definitely secure a seat, provided your score and category. But because the competition is somewhat the same for everyone, you can’t be certain about getting admission. If your score is near the highest, you can be hopeful. 

My brother recently graduated from Nalsar University, so I can give you some information regarding the institute.

There is no real (job) market value of doing a PG diploma in Cyber Law from NALSAR Hyderabad if you’re a non-law graduate. This diploma won’t fetch you a cyber laws-related job or earn you a raise or a promotion.

You will find this degree useful only if you have an LLB or an LLM degree.

However, The course is great. Even if you are a non-law graduate, it will be an enriching experience for you especially if you can attend the contact classes which are normally organized by legal experts, experienced professors.

Now in the recent placement drive, the highest salary offered for PG Diploma in Cyber Law was INR 36 LPA and the average package offered was INR 6 LPA.

Yes, it is possible to get into a top-rank NLU such as NLSIU, NALSAR or WBNUJS, etc. But this all depends on the strategy you have prepared. There are some CLAT achievers who join for a crash course. They study 8 hours a day rigorously. So, to get the same performance in 1 month is nearly impossible.

• For CLAT GK is a crucial component. It comprises 50 questions.
• You need to go through 1 year of Current Affairs focused on the CLAT pattern which comprises awards, political and executive appointments, mergers, etc.
• Download old CLAT papers and look into the types of questions. 
• After that, make a strategy and prepare accordingly.
• The Maths section is of basic level. So going through NCERT books will be a lot of help.
• Verbal is about reading, grammar, and vocabulary. So revise your grammar concepts from your books.
• Legal Aptitude is the most crucial element in CLAT and comprises 50 questions and here where tuitions play a role. 
• A good law teacher can help you crack CLAT without any hurdles.
• Logical reasoning is again like maths, reading, and logic. This requires you to master the concepts and practice immensely.

So, it is suggested that you join the tuition classes for a crash course and dedicate 8 hours of your time to CLAT preparation. Cracking CLAT will only be possible if you work hard.

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.
