LL.M. in India
Dear allThu May 08, 2008 09:20 PM I am a Swiss lawyer holding a Swiss master degree in law (equivalent to LLM in India) of University of Zurich and practising as an advocate in Zurich, Switzerland. Since I am very interested in spending a longer time in India and since an LL.M. degree from a common law english speaking country ist very good for Swiss CV, I am planning to enrol for an LL.M. program in India for summer 2009. Can anybody give me some advice on the following questions? As it is very difficult for me to find enough information from far away, I would be very grateful for answers: 1. If I want to specialize on family law (which I already have back home), which universities in India are the ones with the best reputation for family law? I prefer north indian universities as i will live in Chandigarh. 2. If I want to do a correspondence course, which universities with a good reputation for LL.M. offer a distance education program? 3. Is there a university which combines question 1. and 2., i.e. is there a uni which is especially known for family law and which offers the LL.M. through distance education? 4. Is there any university which offers LL.M. programs do be done in 1 year only? 5. What kind of reputation do the following universities have regarding their LL.M. programs: - Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra - Punjab University, Chandigarh - Punjabi University, Punjab Please, please, if any of you have any information on those questions, please share with me so I can take my decision where to study what. I'd appreciate any help a lot!! Would love to live and study in your wonderful country, where I spent 4 superb months last year... Best regards Simone |

Have you read this discussion:Wed May 14, 2008 08:45 PM www.llm-guide.com/board/305 - LLM in India Looks like Indian law schools do not attract too many international students... |

Hey SimiThu May 15, 2008 03:54 AM First of all apologies on behalf of all Indians(lemme represent them without their express permission). Well I am an Indian and from Punjab but studied law at Chandigarh. As to your question regarding family law specialization, the best would be National law School, Bangalore. However since you prefer nothern part, I would say Punjab University is the best and its in Chandigarh(well I studied there) but I am saying it without any bias. However it does not offer a long distance program and its a 2 year program. LL.M in India is of 2 year duration. I think Kurukshetra University offers long disatnce program in LL.M. However with all due respects, I would not suggest that University. As an Indian I should be giving you an honest advice. There are other very good Universities but those are primarily in southern India. Delhi University is also good but again there is no long distance program. Hope I have been able to answer your query. Please feel free to ask for any other information. Good Luck Dear all |

Hi SimiThu May 15, 2008 05:01 AM We extend u a very warm welcom to u and assure u that u've made the right choice of pursuing L.L.M. with Family Law as the specialisation/major from India as it not only is very interesting and has ample scope for research.To answer your queries: 1. The most renowned north-Indian Univs offering LLM are: Delhi Univ. Punjab Univ Punjabi Univ.Patiala.Punjab Guru Nanak Dev Univ.Amritsar. These r all good and reputed institutions. 2.& 3.Only Kurukshtra Univ.offers a long distance course in LLMin North India , however ther are certain South Indian Univs offering such courses(but u r not keen on them,right?) Kurukshetra univ LLM Prog is for 2 years and u have the option of choosing your own guide for the research work and get his credentials approved by the unniv.So u have the choice of working in consultation/underguidance of the aces from the field. 4.all LLM courses offered in India are for the duration of 2 years. 5.All these Univs are reputed ones and in case u need further help we are at your service. Warm Regards Aman & Vikas |

Dear Simone,Fri May 30, 2008 05:55 AM Welcome to India! So you have already received a lot of correct guidance from my countrymen on LL.M. correspondence in India! Here are a few thoughts of another simple & ordinary Indian. I am 29, work as an inhouse IPR counsel for one big brand in India, but I am not highly qualified. After LL.B. from University of Delhi, I took admission in LL.M. correspondence of Kukurshetra University. It is undoubtedly not bad, considering that it is correspondence. They require mandatory attendence in 14 days-Personal Contact Programs (PCPs) conducted in February for both first year and second year students. Exams are conducted once in one year (with an option to reapper in October/ November). You also need to submit a dissertation in second year for which you proactively should find out a professor of law as a supervisor. I discontinued after first year due to my professional commitments, and now regretting why I discontinued:( They don't offer family law as a subject. However, a better option for you would be correspondence LL.M. from the ICFAI University, Tripura. It has very high quality course material, the fees is of course little higher than KU, but it has much better PCPs and course content. Hope that serves your needs. For other queries, please mail to benzspares@gmail.com. Regards, An Indian. |

Dear Simone.. I wont recommend you Punjab universities. They are good for nothing. The only good university for law in North India is Delhi University... and may be NLU, Jodhpur (Rajasthan). If you are willing to move to South India, you will get better universities, the best being NLSIU, Bangalore Tue Jul 29, 2008 06:44 AM (there is no competition to that). Another good university in South is NALSAR, Hyderabad. All the best with your applications. |
