What is the major difference between these two courses: M. Phil in Law & LLM?

Hey. Both M.Phil in Law and LLM are Master's degree in law. They are pursued after completing the Bachelors in law either a 3-year course or a 5-year nature. The points of difference between the two are the nature of the course as well as time taken to complete it. Prior to the change of rules by Bar Council of India, it took two years to complete LLM. But now, it just takes a year to complete LLM. MPhil, on the other hand, takes more time than a year. LLM has a fixed curriculum that is taught in the universities I.e. there are mandatory subjects that are to be studied under the program. M Phil, on the other hand, is independent. It proceeds on the subject area on which a person wants to research upon. So, it is not only subject specific but also topic specific as it is generally done on a particular topic.
