it seriously difficult to say which country is better to do an LLM. it totally depends on the university and also whether u want to pursue a career in law in that country. if u just want to complete LLm and go back to India, then I would say UK is better. But the chances of getting a scholarship are way higher in US than UK.
i know that england has recently changed its rules for foreign lawyers. even US has changed but its not as worse as england. but in US u may be eligible to take bar exam in NY or CA but it then depends on many things. Again examine their websites carefully.

yes u are absolutely correct i want to come back to India and i see my career opportunities here only but the question in my mind was i have seen and heard that the value of a llm degree from US holds much more weightage than a UK so i was more of confused type.
as few of my seniors advised me that a US llm holds more of professionalism, then a UK which is more of academic in nature.

Frankly an llm does not make any difference in India. Indian Law Firms give some weightage but not a lot at all. Its your experience and knowledge in a particular field that really counts.
If you can afford go and study in UK because chances of getting a schol are very low in UK. If u want schols then try US univ.
