Hello, It is very much compulsory to complete LLB. to pursue LLM. Unless you are a law graduate and you have the basic ideas of the legal jurisprudence, you cannot pursue LLM. LLB is A Bachelor’s degree where you will study in a nutshell compared to LLM. LLM is a Master’s degree programme where one needs to study in a more detailed way. The topics in both LLB and LLM might be the same, but the way of study will be changed. The rule laid down by University Grant Commission (UGC) is that no candidate will be admitted in the LLM programme, if he or she has not obtained LLB degree from any UGC recognized university. As I have mentioned earlier that LLM is a detailed mode of study. Basically in LLM, one needs to do research as much as possible. This mode of study is not bookish, but a type of practical research. You will be taught how to make a research, thus you can prepare your dissertation on your topic assigned by the institution or chosen by yourself. There are various streams of LLM like Business Laws, Constitutional Laws, International Trade and Economic Laws, Criminology and penology, Human Rights, Intellectual Property Rights, International Law and many more. In this research oriented Master’s programme, you will get to know how to teach via class representations and teaching to the LLB students and that is a part of the programme. The LLM degree is the gateway for you to be into the academics.

For an LLM Master’s degree, it is compulsory to have an LLB as an undergraduate course. The eligibility itself is to have an LLB degree from a recognized university under UGC or similar. LLM is a Master’s degree after LLB, and you would be taught only Law. You get to have an analytical and comparative study of various laws and their practical aspects and also a specialization in a particular field of Law that you chose. You are always required to submit research dissertations and also conduct teaching sessions as a part of your curriculum. Moreover, you are taught the need of law, the inception, the developments and the loopholes. Basically, it is an advanced version of teaching that happens in LLM. The laws may be similar, but yes their analysis is different and from a professional point of view. Also, during your LLM, you are made to conduct research over laws and present papers as well. Basically, if we see it we can conclude it to be a research based study during your yearlong programme.
