Blog Single

If you wish to protect the rights of your fellow citizens and have zeal to fight for justice and doing so wish to earn a handsome amount then studying law is for you. As you know, Law is a set of rules that regulate behaviours of an individual or an institute. It is the basic part of our constitution.

Law is a career stream that candidates pursue at undergraduate (UG), postgraduate (PG) or doctorate (PhD) level to practice the legal profession in India. Law as a career is very popular among students in India. The popularity of this stream can be judged from the fact that famous people like Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela as well as the former US President Barack Obama were lawyers.

Scope of law as a career is immense in India. These days, law graduates do not just opt to get dressed in black and white apparels and head to court but also make their presence feel in corporate houses, law firms, law agencies, administrative services and the likes.
