I think you need the GDL first because your degree from India isn't a qualifying law degree in England & Wales. The LLM doesn't substitute your degree. As far as I know after you pursue the GDL (if you intend to work in England) you're able to embark on the LPC.

"As we mentioned above, the QLTS is designed for professionals who are already practising law, not those who have only studied law abroad and want to come and work in the UK."

I am a 2017 graduate and will complete a year as a practising advocate.
Do i still not qualify for QLTS?
