There should not be any confusion before choosing between the both since the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bangalore is one the leading universities in India. It has a broad alumni network spread all over the world. Here is a brief outline of the institute.

NLSIU, Bangalore offers great exposure. Becoming a part of such a renowned institute and its legacy is in itself a great opportunity. So, given the chance, choose NLSIU without any second thought.

These are three very different fields that can not be compared with each other whatsoever. Each of them is prestigious in itself. They can not be put in an order. Still, here are some basic points worth mentioning.

• If earning a decent amount of money is your ultimate goal, it is suggested that you go for IIT, as it will provide you with the most straightforward career path.
• If you aspire to be in a powerful or influential position, you can opt for NLSIU. But this will require immense hard work and practical training.
• If you want to study in a popular institution and their brand value interests you more, go for IIT.
• If you are competent enough, you can opt for NLSIU, as it is claimed to be tougher than the IITs as well.

A more important question that you should ask yourself is “What does my interest lie in?” The way you pursue the course will decide its worth then. You should make sure that you flourish in whatever you do and build a good career out of it.

You can get into NLSIU Bangalore by taking the CLAT examination. There are no age restrictions, it depends on the level of education and accordingly, you can apply for either a UG or PG program. 

Apart from this, you can choose some distance learning courses like MPP (Masters in Public Policy). It is an interdisciplinary program that provides comprehensive training and various other courses depending on your interests. 

You can also go for Online & Hybrid Programmes as there are various PG Diploma courses available in Human Rights, Medical & Ethics, Environmental Law, and many more.

Your age will not affect your job opportunities after completing the course. But it will be best if you have any prior experience or qualifications added to your profile.

Yes, why not. If you are interested in the subject and studying law is what your passion is then nothing else really matters. 

There are so many people around us who take a drop for a year or two in order to fully prepare for their passion so that there are no setbacks. I know a friend who pursued this career after taking a drop for a year so that she could prepare well. 

When you decide to go for NLSIU, you just have to work on your knowledge and CGPA. Those are the only two aspects that stand in your way towards your dream job. For studying law, you must have an understanding of the nuances of the subject. You also have to put hours of research into the subject.

One of my friends graduated from NLSIU and after reading some online reviews by the alumni here are the things that I came to know about.

• You can intern at law firms like Fox Mandal, Amarchand and Mangaldas, Trilegal, Khaitan & co., J Sagar and associates, AZB Partners, Luthra and Luthra, Dua associates, etc.
• These are the top law firms that deal with corporate law, merger and acquisitions, real estate, capital funds, private equity, energy law, and many more.
• You can also try smaller law firms at the beginning of your career and then keep moving to the bigger and better ones. 
• Explore different fields of law for a better understanding of the course in the final year. 
• Try criminal, civil, corporate, IPR, arbitration, etc., and be ready to face any work from these fields.

You can also contact your NLSIU seniors or lecturers as they will have the better, more appropriate information to suggest better ideas and places.

It may not be the amount of time left that would be sufficient to crack the CLAT exam, but the utilization of the time left will surely give an edge over other things.

There are various people who have cleared the CLAT examination with just one month of preparation and there are also few people who have taken more than 2 years.

So, in 4 months’ time, one can make out a proper strategy for themselves, prepare a well-structured timetable and stick with it. Give more time to your weak areas and master your strengths. You should prepare and give mocks hand to hand.

It would be advised to give as many as possible. Also, make sure to analyze the mock results. You should accordingly make changes to your studying strategy.

The key to success is hard work. It may do wonders, therefore it is advisable to utilize your time well and keep pushing for a little more hard and smart work.

According to my friends from NLSIU Bangalore, it is best to join a coaching center as early as possible. 

• You should get your hand on the question banks and study materials. Mock-tests are also important to get accustomed to the different types of questions and its pattern in the examination. Go through different types of questions and prepare answers for them. 
• Practice arithmetic and reasoning regularly for improvement. 
• After the initial stage of preparation, you can also go through the previous year’s paper of NLS, NALSAR for firming your grip on the subject. 

Brushing your strengths and weaknesses is necessary. With strategic planning and regular practice, you can easily secure a good score to get accepted at NLSIU Bangalore.
