What are the government job opportunities after completing LLM?

Hello, After completing your Masters in Law that is, LLM, you have no additional job benefits compared to a LLB degree holder except academics. Both, LLB and LLM students can apply for any Government job (PSU) like BANK, RAIL etc. But, now a days, most of the Public Sector Units as well as Private companies, prefer LLM candidates. So, if you are a LLM degree holder, then you will be preferred over LLB degree holders. Many companies hire legal officers having LLM degree. The sole benefit of LLM is academics. LLM will open the gateway for academics. If you have cleared LLM, then you can easily apply in any private law colleges for the post of Assistant professor. But, if you want to teach in any Government college, then you need to clear National Eligibility Test (NET) for such. The University Grant Commission allows for the post of Assistant Professor to those LLM degree holders who have cleared NET. After completing LLM, you will always have a preferential position than LLB degree holders.

<p>After having completed LLM, you become a postgraduate in Law thus job opportunities are no less. You may apply in various PSUs as legal officer and earn a handsome salary of <strong>60k to 70k per month</strong> and perquisites of being a central government employee. Also, you may apply to various banks including RBI for legal officer or Grade 2 officers and again earn handsome salaries and perquisites. Apart from this, you may appear for judicial services exam wherein LLM degree shall have advantage in your promotions. Also, you may apply for professor at NLUs and again get a government professor status after contractual probation period. Again, UPSC is always available and an LLM would help you in your mains exam, if you keep law as an optional subject. Thus, opportunities in service sector are unlimited after having an LLM. Also, you may become a government counsel after a particular period of practice based on nominations and achievements.</p>
