Humanities

By Team Career Today

I am studying humanities in XII and interested in a career in Law and Journalism. How do I make my choice?

Attaining your degree in India can take three to five years after your higher secondary education or the 12th standard. If you have studied Humanities in 12th and you are interested in pursuing both law and journalism, you can pursue both by making a pragmatic choice.

1. The Bachelor of Laws or LLB course is now available in two formats for two different audiences- 5- year integrated LLB course for Class 12 pass- outs and a 3-year LLB course for graduates of any stream. Investing five years in LLB following two years PG degree course or PG diploma course in journalism, you will spend seven to eight years of your life pursuing both your interests.

2. The second options on offer is you can opt for three years Bachelor’s course in Journalism and after that get enrolled into to a three- year LLB course. The option is comparatively of lesser time period.

If you are studious and do not mind spending your years of life educating yourself you can pursue 5-year integrated LLB course after you pass out 12th and then do a two-year PG course in journalism. However, the trend nowadays is to pursue either one or the other rather than doing both.
