The Two-Year Format Is a Niche Play
Most Indian LLMs wrap up in 12 months. This 24-month stretch gives you space for deep research, publications, and TAships—but factor in the extra year of opportunity cost if you are chasing a fast-track corporate role.
The verdict
Good fit
Solid pick if you want legal academia, research roles, or a publication-heavy CV from a NIRF #26 law school. Skip it if you need a quick 1-year degree or guaranteed BigLaw placement stats.
