I am a graduate and want to do law. Is there a career in law?

Large law firms in India, the likes of Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas, AZB, Jyoti Sagar Associates (JSA), Trilegal, Khaitan and Company, Luthra and Luthra pay in excess of Rs. 1 Lacs per month to freshers. Banks like the ICICI bank too pay nearly the same. Mid-tier law firms like Desai and Diwanji, Nishith Desai Associates (NDA), Wadia Handy and Co. , Kochhar and Co. , Bharucha Partners etc. Pay anywhere from Rs. 40,000/month to Rs. 80,000/month. However, there are not more than 300-500 such jobs available in India in any given point. These mostly go to students of top law schools. If you try your hand at litigation, you'll be making around Rs. 15,000 (average) per month for starters, if you are practicing under a senior lawyer in Delhi. The average salary an LPO job would give you is around Rs. 15,000 (average) per month too. The highest paying LPO, Pangea3, pays Rs. 40,000/month (approximately). To graduates of top law schools. Please do not be misled by what to pink papers (Economic Times, Business Standard and others) shout at the top of their voices. The 12 L+ annual salaries they quote is reserved for the biggest law firms. And as we said before, there are not more than 300 such jobs.

Yes, there are lots of opportunity in law than you know. It is very good field for career. You can take admission in 3 years LLB course. But, you have to give entrance exam for that, like MHCET LAW, CLAT.
