However, one can take the following steps that may work in favour of establishing your career as a Human Rights lawyer.
1. During your time at law school, make sure you opt for the subject of Human Rights as you elective to get a theoretical understanding of what the subject is all about and what all it will encompass.
2. Try and choose internships and apprenticeships in NGOs that work in your area of interest in the field of human rights (child rights, rights of women, rights of refugees, domestic workers' rights, etc. ). To build a good CV and also to gain a practical knowledge of the field that you are interested in.
3. After law school, try and focus your energies on getting a job with either a lawyer who practices in the field of human rights, or any NGO/law related institution like HRLN, Lawyer's Collective etc. Depending on your interest.
4. You could enroll in a Diploma/certificate course in Human Rights to boost your CV.

For anything else, like litigation or joining a corporate firm, etc. , it is advisable to start as early as possible as the field of law is very pragmatic and dynamic and practical exposure is the most important factor when it comes to growth. However, if your interest lies in teaching, policy making, etc. , you can opt for higher studies. Online LL. M. is very different from a classroom course in LL. M. While the former does add to your CV, the practical aspects, the discussions and the research form an integral part of the latter, hence making it a well-rounded experience. The choice between the two is essentially a question of where one sees themselves in five years in terms of work and career.

Hi,
See, opting for higher studies after LLM shall just be a choice based on your ambitions.
However, LLM in itself is sufficient these days to fetch better results for oneself. Even though it is sufficient, but yes having other accolades is an add-on.
You may pursue Doctorate, as well or any other course as you wish.
However, going by the trends, a person having LLM from a good institute in itself is sufficient. Also, freshers are highly preferred these days for the jobs by various law firms and also not much weightage is given for additional qualifications provided you have a good CV of yours.
You could take a job also and you would get one even after completing your LLM .However, going for higher studies shall be a personal choice .Also, it would be an add-on but not a hindrance. If you do have time to study further please do prefer higher studies.

Hi,
Well CA in itself is a course that needs no recognition. However, if you wish to pursue a course that is directly linked to CA, it could be both.
For instance, a better placement would require preferably an MBA after CA.
Also, while an independent CA practitioner would have LLB to his aid.
Thus, the choices shall depend on what you want with regard to your career.
If you want a better placement after CA, MBA would be an option that would yield better results. Also, the corporate houses prefer a CA with an MBA. Though CA itself is more than enough but yes an addon is something that would always be a great help.
So if you want to be an independent CA practitioner then I believe CA+LLB is a very good option and if you wish to bag a great job offer then you should opt for CA +MBA.
However, CA alone is quite sufficient but if you look forward to an additional course then do choose one based on your career preferences later.

See, opting for higher studies and pursuing a job, depends on your own choice and preference.
If you really need a job and do not have time to pursue higher studies, then you may drop the idea of higher studies. But, if you do have time and resources, then I would advise you to please take up higher studies such as LLM or even MBA after LLB is a good option.
Now opting for higher studies shall add up to your qualifications and in turn would fetch you better career prospective and job offers, because candidates having an LLM or MBA or any other qualification apart from just LLB are attractive for recruiters and you are preferred more.
Also, higher studies in itself have a significance of making you more learned and also fetch you better and dynamic knowledge.
If I were to choose, I would have chosen higher studies for I have time and resources for the same and it's a dream for many.
However, you must chose as per your needs.
But, if you do have time and want better career and jobs do pursue higher studies as that would aid in getting promotions as well.

The course structure is more or less the same except in top law schools, the variery of credit courses i.e additional courses or elective courses are taught by many qualified teachers. I attended the course by supreme court judge of Sri Lanka. Additionally in top law Universities the curriculum is of really great level. Additionally some universities offer BA LLB, while some offer BBA LLB and BCOM LLB and hence in these mandatory courses, the subjects are same at a larger level. I am a student in top law school and one of my friend is doing from state University. We both studied torts, political science, IPC, CRPC and other subjects which clearly shows the uniformity in mandatory courses. Top law schools just give you exposure, but at the end it is your talent and hardwork which matters.

Hey.
After completing your LLB, you have an option to go for PG which may be an LLM or an MBA.
LLM includes a Master's degree in law which provides you a specialisation in certain laws and you get a Master's degree in those subjects. Also, you become eligible for UGC NET for academic purpose also.
Also, LLM fetches you the same advantage as an MD after MBBS in medical.
However, MBA is something which is preferred by a lot of students as it is a deadly combo these days. The corporate houses do prefer a law and MBA graduate and also your prospects of better offers increase.
It does make a lot of sense to go for MBA but from a premier institute only like IIM's in India and then abroad.

BA LLB is an integrated 5-year graduation course in law that offers a combined degree (BA and LLB). Admission to an integrated course opens after class 12th. National law Universities in India are known to be the best institutions for pursuing an integrated BA LLB course. Please note that apart from BA, students can choose other integrated degrees as well, I. e. B.Com LLB, B.Sc LLB, etc. Admission to 5-year law colleges is done on the basis of entrance tests conducted in the month of May. CLAT is the common entrance test for securing admission in the NLU's and some other colleges also use the same score to grant admission. Private universities, like Amity and Jindal, etc. , have their own entrance exams and admission is granted on the basis of marks scored in them. Sitting for the respective tests and getting marks is a prerequisite for getting admission. LLB, on the other hand, is a post-graduation 3-year course to be pursued after one had completed their graduation. Several colleges in India have the option of a post-graduate in law. The National Law Universities, however, do not have that option. Campus Law Centre, Delhi University, is one of the most reputed colleges to pursue law after graduation. Your choice of subject in graduation DO NOT have a bearing on your admission to a 3-year law college. Most admissions are given on merit, decided by conducting an entrance test usually in the months of May and June every year

Nowadays, choosing a correct profession is really tough work. But still, there are many good choices
Since last few year, engineering has lost its fame because of fewer jobs and more colleges. So, students are thinking twice before choosing B.Tech which is why B.Tech has become a less sought course from some years.
Now, medicine has a wide scope and job. Right now, India has 1 Doctor for 10k people and India need more doctors. Also, there is a need for Indian companies for medicine and pharmaceuticals which give medicines at a low price. So, this field has a good scope in future.
Law: In India, over 10 million cases are put on hold or pending. This is only because of less time but when there are a good amount of Lawyers and Judges then these cases could be solved but law is not a sought course among students because there is less money involved in this field which is the thing that Indians needs the most.
Civil Service: When we ask a small kid about what do you want to do in future? 6 out 10 will answer that they want to become IAS Officers. This job is extremely popular apart from the money it offers which attracts lakhs of students every year. This job offers both power and honour which is not provided by any job.
All this makes me think that for students nowadays, Civil Services is the most sought profession then engineering then medical and if some are not able to take admission in B.Tech or medical then they go for Law.
But this must change because India needs us. There should be a change in the order mentioned above which should be civil service at the top then medical then law and then engineering as required by India.
