    What are the various career paths available for law graduates from NLSIU, NALSAR, etc?

    Jyoti KakkarCompleted LLB in Bachelor of Law (LL.B) & Commercial Laws of India, Army Institute of Law in 2020

    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.

    Is the NLSIU Bangalore safe for women?

    Sakshi GuptaLila Dey,M.Tech from National Institute of Engineering, Mysore (2018)

    One of my friends studied in NLSIU Bangalore, before that she lived in Bangalore for 28 years. According to her, the first thing to mention is yes, it is absolutely safe. 

    Do not get influenced by the media when they talk about a certain place, there could be other intentions for claiming that. But as she lived there she knows that it is perfectly safe for women.

    The location might make you feel lonely because the campus is next to Bangalore university and there are few other central government offices. On the other side, it is completely residential. 

    The culture of Bangalore is very welcoming and it has given homes to lakhs of people coming in from other states and it is capable of delivering a good livelihood.

    It is suggested that you do not come to any conclusion just by information provided in the media. Analyze every aspect and make your decision accordingly.
