Master of Law is a 1-2 year postgraduate program that is recognized worldwide. An LLM professional has respect in all fields and is required in every industry. Whether it is a tech company, patent company, pharmaceutical company, or any biotech company, law professionals are needed as their legal advisors. Law graduates who wish to get a deeper understanding of any particular domain of law can apply for the LLM courses. To be eligible for LLM courses, students must have completed a 3-year or a 5-year LLB program in any domain and must have secured a minimum mark of 50%. Additionally, standardized exam marks (like CLAT, LSAT, and more) also come under the eligibility criteria for almost every law school and university.
