As most of these LLM graduates start off on the academic side of things, the pay grade is equivalent to that mandated by the UGC for all institutions in all states. You can get a job role for an Assistant Professor or the likes. 

However, this does not stand true for Private Institutes that hire LLM graduates. They most times than not, do not pay more than the government institutes. But it all depends on your personal choice and the kind of work environment you would like to be in. 

You can always consult with the immediate batches to understand the current standings on the placement front. Connect with them one-to-one and you might get a better and clearer idea of what to expect. 

If you are looking at the course from the perspective of its acceptability in the industry, then honestly it does not rank very high in the list. It can not be even fully considered a proper Masters in Law degree. One of my friends studied it and here’s what she has to say about it.

• Masters in Business Law (MBL) is not a full-time LLM course. You cannot take UGC-NET on the basis of this degree.
• It is quite an expensive course. Not only the course fees but they take additional fees like Rs. 500 for each subject. They have a continuation fee of Rs. 2500.
• The books suggested are also not elaborate enough to learn about the course. They lack content.
• There is no transparency in checking answer sheets. If you want your answer sheets rechecked, it will cost you Rs.800 for each paper.

Therefore it is recommended that you do not opt for this course, as it is not an LLM course. The only thing credible about it is the tag you receive from NLSIU.

Parul University is one of the prestigious universities in western Gujarat providing major courses in the educational domain. It provides multidisciplinary courses that allow an individual to explore every aspect of practical courses provided.

Masters in Law is one such program offered by the university to bring in more interest in various streams of law. It proves to give them an open forum for expressing opinions and learning at the same time. The details are as follows:

Admission

Parul University can surely be a good option provided you are ready to align your goals with that of college. It has a track record of giving good placements in the field of law as it tries to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the courses offered. 

It gives them the option to explore parliamentary debates and contests while strategically imparting the needed practical acumen to the students. It’s definitely a worth course as it is affordable but it is from a top-notch institute.

Azim Premji university is a private, non-profit institution with affiliation from UGC. It offers BA, MA, L.L.M, B.Sc. courses. A relative of mine who has been studying there has recommended the Institute based on its eligibility criteria, good placements and campus life. 

Admission and eligibility criteria -

To be eligible for admission, students are expected to have passed LLB courses of 3 year or 5 year duration followed by a written test and interview.

• The L.L.M course at Azim Premji university is lucrative for its course structure, which sets it apart from others. 
• A very significant part of the curriculum is the fieldwork component, which is a unique feature of APU. The fieldwork element plays a crucial role in providing a different perspective of the law, which students would have studied in theory.
• The typical structure of exams is also absent from the LLM course at APU. Instead, response papers are given to students with a deadline of 24 hours for submission of the paper.

This new approach to the exam system at APU, helps the student to be more attentive towards the course curriculum, ensuring long term retention of the knowledge gained.The faculty of APU has been vouched for as one of the best, by many former students of the university, even considered better than other law schools of repute.

Overall, APU is a very good university to do your LLM from. Everything at the university starting from campus life to placements will surely meet up to your expectations. This distinctive aspect of APU, makes it a different and a much better alternative to other universities following the traditional approach and also the National Law University(NLU).
