Why Law?

Law is fast becoming the preferred career choice amongst students. India has a shortage of well-qualified lawyers. In response to this, the number of institutions providing quality education in Law has risen sharply over the last few years. In addition, Law graduates from top schools often start their career with salaries of over 10 lakhs per annum, which is significantly higher than that of IIT engineers or medical graduates. The number of aspirants for the CLAT has more than doubled in the last 5-6 years. Besides, law is a well respected profession and empowers an individual to also play a strong social role.
