MH CET Law 5-Yr Dilemma: Is taking a loan for GLC/ILS worth the risk for a lower-middle-class student, or should I opt for a local college?"
Hello everyone,
I am from Miraj (Sangli district), Maharashtra. I recently appeared for the MH CET Law 5-Year LLB 2026 exam and am looking for some honest guidance regarding college selections and financial planning.
I come from a lower-middle-class financial background, but I am deeply passionate about pursuing law. I am currently caught in a tough dilemma:
- If I get a high score: Is taking an education loan to study at top-tier colleges like ILS Pune or GLC Mumbai worth the financial risk? Will the placement opportunities and corporate/litigation exposure justify the loan burden for a student from a modest background?
2.If my score is average: Should I opt for local options like N.S. Soti Law College in Sangli, or will that severely limit my exposure and long-term career growth?
I can take the risk of a loan, but if I invest it in a college that won't benefit me, it will become a massive burden on my family. Conversely, staying local might shatter my long-cherished career dreams.
Any advice on college tier-lists, Return on Investment (ROI), local college realities, or scholarship/concession schemes under MH CET would be immensely helpful.
Thank you for your time!
