In the past few years, the law has become a career option for many students. It isn’t just about mundane courtroom proceedings and big black robes during the proceedings. Today, the law is about corporate culture, associations with top tier law firms, having your law firm, judicial services, teaching, practising law, etc.

Given the ‘n’ number of colleges in India offering the 5-year integrated course in law, the question which pops up is how to identify colleges which will benefit you the most. Can you pursue law from any college/university without it affecting or limiting your opportunities? Are all the institutions almost on the same lines and you’re your curator? Can an institution play an important role in polishing your skills and bringing out the best in you? Do placements matter?
Well, the answers are dichotomous
The institution you choose to pursue law will play the most crucial role in determining your success rate in the field of law. An ace university/college will provide you with the most holistic environment essential for improving, learning and competing with the best in this field. The curriculum, exchange programmes with foreign universities, the crowd, the opportunities, and the exposure that you will get will be unmatched in a sought-after law college/university. Giving a small example, Gujarat National Law University, every year, organizes an international moot in which law students from all over the world participate including the USA and UK. Imagine how enlightening it will be to compete with those students, to get a chance to talk to them and discuss the law of their country, something that will broaden your horizon and give you an edge over others.
Whether judiciary is your dream or the high-end life of a corporate lawyer for now,always aim for the best because you never know when you end up changing your plans. There is no harm in having all the opportunities open for you?
So, here’s a list of all the top law colleges and their entrance exams for your guidance.
