Ready ....................

This was quite easy, now pronounce this - Lex Legum Baccalaureus

Hey everybody! This is Priya and you are watching Finology legal

In today's video we will discuss that after doing LLB a student can prepare for how many exams

and what options are available for a student

A Law degree is of 3 years and 5 years also and this video is valid for both types of students

If I personally say about our study of 5 years degree of Law, I found it very beautiful and special

because in this a law student is not limited with in the box

National, International, History, International relations, Company law, Labour law, Sports law, Medical law

no such topic is there which can't be part of syllabus of a law student

that's why if there is a discussion going around any topic, a law student can easily present his views over it and can contribute over it

So in this 5 years, a law student has very good opportunity available to figure out his Area of Interest and can acquire skill according to the requirement of it

but there are many such peoples amongst us, specially first generation lawyer

where no other people are from in this field in their family

so they don't know about the carrier options available after completing LLB

which qualifying exams are there and what is the basic requirements needed for it, they don't know much about all this

so if you are also a this category student, then congratulations you at the very right place

just keep copy and notebook near you, and we will start this video

Firstly, there is Supreme Court Law Clerk Cum Research Assistant Exam

this a short term and contractual basis job. In which final year students can also apply for this

So if you planning for Judiciary and Litigation

then this job opportunity can provide you a first hand experience for it

and along with the good exposure you get very good stipend around Rs 65000 in this job

So lets know what are the requirements needed for this job

firstly we will consider qualifications required for it

one should be a law graduate or you can also apply while appearing in your last year also

The Candidate must have knowledge of computer including retrieval of desired information

from various search engines such as Manupatra, SCC Online, LexisNexis, Westlaw etc.

and the candidate's age must be between 18 -27 Years

one thing to be in notice that you should not be a practicing advocate

Now, lets see the exam pattern

Selection is done on the basis of written test and Interview

there are 2 sections in written test

Section 01 consists of 50 marks in which questions related to General English, Aptitude and Awareness are asked

and Section 02 consists of 100 marks in which questions from Indian Constitution, IPC, CrPC, CPC, Evidence Act and from other laws are asked

Merit List is prepared on the basis of marks secured by the candidate in the written test

after that candidates are short listed and are invited for the Interview

Interview consists of 30 marks

Next we will discuss about CLAT PG and PSU placements

if you are willing to do LLM after LLB, then you will fill the CLAT PG exam form

and through this exam form you can apply for PSU's (Public Sector Undertakings)

There is a MoU between CLAT Committee & different PSU's

that they will hire their candidates on the basis of their score in CLAT PG

so if you are preparing for LLM or PSU placements

then you can also checkout my CLAT PG crash course

and you can also enroll to our mock test series

you can find the link of both below in the description box

So lets understand the pattern of this exam

Every year some reputed PSU's like ONGC, BHEL, IOCL, NTPC, PGCIL etc.

come out with vacancies for the different posts such as Law officers, Legal advisors, Legal Executive Trainees

and for this, candidates can apply on the basis of their CLAT score

so along with the CLAT you have to fill the form for the PSU in which you are interested

now lets check the eligibility for this

You should be graduated with 55% marks

For certain PSU's, a candidate may also be required to score 60% marks

cutoff marks varies every year, but if you are ranked amongst top 100 in CLAT then your selection is possible

So if you have ranked good in CLAT PG and you are shortlisted

then the next round is of Group Discussion and Personal Interview

Now lets look at the Exam Paper Pattern

there are 2 sections in CLAT PG

1 Section is of objective pattern in which 100 questions are asked

1 mark is given for right answer and -0.25 is deducted for every wrong answer

2nd section is descriptive part, in which essay writing is there

in this paper, the mandatory subjects which we study while graduation

like Constitutional law, Jurisprudence, family law, Criminal law, ITR, taxation or labour law

questions from all these subjects are asked.

Next is AIBE exam (All India Bar Examination) which is conducted by the Bar Council of India

This exam assess the knowledge and skill of an individual for becoming an advocate

as you qualify the exam a certificate of practice is issued by the Bar council of India

by which you can practice in any court of the country

but if you are not going to do practice in future and thinking what is the purpose of giving this exam

then I would say that, there are many exams in which it is prerequisite that one should be registered as an advocate

and have cleared this examination. So appearing for this exam is always beneficial

So lets know, what are the requirements for it

lets check the Eligibility for the exam

One should be an Indian Citizen, must have a 3 -5 years law degree

and you must have enrolled with your state Bar council

There is no age limit for this examination

and there is no concepts of maximum attempts, you can appear for this exams as many times

now lets look at the pattern of this exam

This is an objective based exam means MCQ type questions are asked in it

100 questions are asked each contains 1 marks and the exam is conducted in 11 languages

for passing the examination if you are of General Category then you need 40% marks

and the candidates of ST/SC category need 35% marks to pass

questions from around 19 subjects are asked in this exam

these are the subjects which we study while our graduation

for ex- 10 questions each is asked from Constitution, CrPC, CPC

8 questions from IPC and Family each, 4 questions from Administrative law so like this total 100 questions are asked of 100 marks

and from 19 subjects these questions are asked

After completing law if you are more interested in Banking Laws and Commercial Laws

and you are willing to work in a bank then you can prepare for IBPS Exam

this Institution handles the recruitment procedures of public sector banks except SBI's

it also have different levels Probationary officer (PO), Special officer (S0)

and the requirements are different for it, so lets understand the pattern of it

This is a national level examination which is conducted once a year

lets check the requirement for it

Candidates age limit should be between 20 to 30 years

The candidate must have completed his/her graduation

and the candidate must have enrolled with Bar Council as an advocate

The exam is of 3 levels

Pre, Mains and Interview

lets know about the pre exam, this is basically a qualifying round only, means it has nothing to do with further selection

In this round, questions from Reasoning, English, Quantitative Aptitude and General Awareness is asked

the IBPS exam is mainly focused on commercial laws

so if you have special interest in Business and Banking laws then you can appear for this exam

now comes Mains exam, in this most questions are asked from commercial laws only

like Arbitration and conciliation act, consumer protection act, RBI act, NI act, Partnership, SEBI, Companies from these the questions are asked

the exam which comes after this doesn't need any introduction

I am saying about UPSC's civil services examination, over 10 to 15 lakhs students of the country attempts the exam every year

and only several thousands of candidates gets selected in this

The benefit which a law student gets in this exam is of Constitution. Which we study deeply while pursuing our LLB degree

and the subject Indian polity plays a very important role in this examination

So the first stage is Preliminary stage in which objective type MCQ''s questions are asked

2 papers are conducted in this stage, Paper -1 consist of 200 marks in which questions related to General Studies are asked

while paper-2 is of CSAT and it also consist of 200 marks

Marks obtained in Paper -1 decides that the candidate has qualified for the mains or not

Generally Paper-1 cutoff goes between 50-60% marks

lakhs of candidates who apply for this exam gets excluded in this stage only

The next stage is Mains exams in which subjective type questions are asked

total 9 papers are conducted in it

the merit list is prepared on the basis of marks you have scored in 7 papers

and the remaining 2 papers are the qualifying papers

means you have to score 25% marks in these 2 papers

The total marks of the 7 papers is 1750

and if got qualified in this, then you will receive an Interview call

Interview consists of 275 marks

Just like this every state conducts State public service exam

which offers posts like District magistrate, Tehsildar, BDO etc.

The next exam is Staff Selection Commission's SSC - CGL exam

which offers posts like Income Tax officer, Audit officer, Sub Inspector and Statistical Investigator

after completing LLB, if you wish to join as a judge or an advocate in Indian Army and want to handle their legal matters

then you can prepare for Judge Advocate General exam which is also called as JAG Exam

The vacancies for this exam don't come very often and the applicants are also very less so the level of competition is similar

You can start preparing for this exam because it also has a Age limit

You should know that this is a SSC entry means short service commission post

So If you get selected in this, you will serve minimum 10 years Probation

but it also depends on the term of your service that how good you have worked. You can extend the service up to 4 years

Lets check the eligibility for the exam

Candidate must have a 3 or 5 years law degree with minimum 55% marks

now we will look at the selection procedure of this

The very first procedure is shortlisting of Applicants, this is a direct exam means no written exam is conducted for this

As the candidates apply for the exam, their shortlisting procedure begins

but the candidates who have applied for the exam it is not necessary that all will qualify for this

and with out any reason assigned the shortlisting is done

Now the shortlisted candidates undergo SSB interview

SSB is Services Selection Board, this organization assess those candidates who apply for Indian army

SSB selection procedure is two - stage selection procedure and it is mainly a psychological aptitude test

the candidates confidence, psychology and personality is checked in this exam

now the candidates who qualifies this round, they go under medical test

like the criteria for height is also set, for male it is 157 cm and for female - 152 cm

after qualifying all the rounds, the candidates are sent to Chennai for a 49 weeks training

after the training candidates join Indian Army as Commissioned officer

first Lieutenant, then Captain and then Major

The next exam is RBI Legal Officer Exam

In this job you will handle bank's different departments legal issues

and will prepare initial drafts of legislations

you will represent bank in conciliation and in labour courts

The age limit to apply for the job is between 21 - 32 years

but if you have done LLM or PhD, then you will get 3 to 5 years relaxation in age

Now lets check the qualifications needed for it

One should have a LLB degree passed with 50% marks

and for the reserved candidates the criteria is 45% marks

If you have Master's Degree in Law or you have Bachelor's Degree in law with 60% marks then you will get preference amongst others

and you must have enrolled with Bar Council

Along with this you must have atleast two year's experience as an Advocate/Legal Consultant/ Legal Assistant

or you are in any Law firm or you are a full time teacher in a Law college/university then also you are eligible

Now lets see the Paper Pattern

There are 2 papers in this, 1st paper is General Knowledge of Law

in which 30 marks objective questions and 120 marks Descriptive questions are asked

2nd Paper is English paper in which 100 marks Descriptive questions are asked

The total marks of the paper is 250 marks

now we will come to the syllabus

Questions from these subjects - Constitutional Law, Legal Drafting, Interpretation of Statues, Administrative law,

Registration Act , Sarfaesi Act from these the questions are asked

they doesn't have an exhaustive syllabus

and they can ask the questions out of the syllabus also

As I said you in the beginning of the video

the speciality and beauty of our LLB degree is that a student can pursue his interest area

so if you are interested in securities market (stock market)

then you can also apply for SEBI's Law officer exam

there are limited vacancies for this examination

only 30 to 35 posts including reserved and unreserved

but most of the students doesn't even know about this examination

so if this comes under your Area of Interest, then you can definitely apply for this exam

so lets check the requirement for the exam

The candidate must have a Law degree and his/her age should not be more than 30 years

in some cases relaxation is given in age

SEBI's recruitment procedure is of 3 phases

In phase-1, Objective type MCQ questions are asked

Paper 1 in which questions are asked from General Awareness, English language, Quantitative Aptitude and Reasoning

In paper 2 questions are asked from specialized subjects

such as SEBI Act, Administrative law, CPC, Constitution of India, Law of Contract etc.

from all these subjects questions are asked

Both papers are of 100 marks each

Cutoff for paper 1 is 30% and 40% cutoff is set for paper 2

after this comes phase - 2, in this phase also there are 2 papers

Paper - 1 is English subject and it is a descriptive paper of 100 marks and its cutoff is 30%

after this comes Paper - 2, similar to Phase -1 law based questions are asked in this paper

and new legislations are also covered

this paper is also of 100 marks and the cutoff is 40%

If you qualify these 2 phases then you will be shortlisted for the interview

So this was today's video

in which we learned what options a law student can explore after degree and for which exams they can prepare for

Generally I have seen that after completing the graduation students start preparing for different competitive exams

but it is very important to identify your Area of Interest and absorb the skills required for that

and then start preparing for the exam according to that

because if you apply for the exam in which you are not interested about it

and if you got selected, then it may be possible that after an year or so you quit that post

but then after pursuing your Area of Interest may become difficult for you

that's why it is very important to figure out your Area of Interest

so if you have just entered a Law college then you are having a very good opportunity

to figure out your interested area

because in a Law college you get very good exposure

So fill up the form according to your interest areas

rather than filling the form and after selection you may think do I like this Job or not

and I have decided to make a separate video for Judiciary that's why I have not included that in this video
