For an LLM Master’s degree, it is compulsory to have an LLB as an undergraduate course. The eligibility itself is to have an LLB degree from a recognized university under UGC or similar. LLM is a Master’s degree after LLB, and you would be taught only Law. You get to have an analytical and comparative study of various laws and their practical aspects and also a specialization in a particular field of Law that you chose. You are always required to submit research dissertations and also conduct teaching sessions as a part of your curriculum. Moreover, you are taught the need of law, the inception, the developments and the loopholes. Basically, it is an advanced version of teaching that happens in LLM. The laws may be similar, but yes their analysis is different and from a professional point of view. Also, during your LLM, you are made to conduct research over laws and present papers as well. Basically, if we see it we can conclude it to be a research based study during your yearlong programme.
