Career Opportunities

Law is a lucrative career option. Those whose families have been into the profession for generations in India usually opt to study law. Aspirants interested in making a career in law can either do a 3 years’ law course after graduation in any discipline or a 5 years’ law course after 12th class in any discipline. In fact, the 3 years’ course is now giving way to the 5 years’ one which is seen as a better option. In most cases, colleges run the 3 years’ course only for those whose main discipline in graduation is something other than law, or working professionals who want to do an LL.B as an additional qualification. The 5 years’ course is meant for those who want to take up law as a career – be it as a litigator, or any other kind of legal professional.

The LL.B course is regulated by the Bar Council of India which sets rules and regulations regarding legal practice in the country. Any specialisation is done at masters, MPhil or PhD stage. A higher degree helps candidates get jobs in academics. Generally, people feel that a career in law primarily means Litigation. But times have changed, and multiple career options have emerged for Law Professionals. A law graduate can specialise in various fields like Cyber Law, Humanitarian Law, Aviation Law, IPR Law, Media Law and build their career accordingly. Some of the common career paths are illustrated below.
