I have completed 12th standard... I would like to become a corporate lawyer...could you please elaborate on the process that what should I do to become a corporate lawyer and also how many years does it takes to become?

Dear student,

Becoming a Corporate Lawyer is one of the most popular career choices after pursuing law in India. The career of a corporate lawyer is flourishing as the corporate sector in the country is expanding with time. In order to take up Corporate Law as a career, you have to follow a certain path which has been listed here.

• You will have to enrol in a law school after completing your class 12th education. You can take admission in any integrated law course after 12 and the degree will be completed in a duration of 5 years.
• If you wish to get a different undergraduate degree after 12th, you can pursue that and then take admission in the course of Bachelor of Law (LL.B) after graduation. The duration of this will be 6 years (3 years of graduation + 3 years LLB).
• In order to get into a good law college, you will have to appear for certain law entrance exams that are accepted by the desired college for admission.
• During your undergraduate degree in law, you should do as many internships as possible. This will add a lot of experience in your resume and you will be preferred over the other candidates by recruiters.
• You can start working directly after completing your integrated or bachelor degree in law.
