Driven by her family's background in law, Shilpa found an interest in the subject and pursued a career in teaching. Currently, she holds the position of Associate Professor and Course Director at the university. Despite having a passion for her profession, she sometimes wishes she had pursued a more creative field.

Dr. Shilpa Seth is an Associate Professor at the University College of Law, MLSU. She has been associated with the university since 2007.

Shilpa completed her LLB, LLM, and Ph.D. from the same college where she now teaches. Her father was in the judicial service, which required her to attend school in different districts and places in Rajasthan. Despite being an average student, she pursued higher education and found her passion in the field of law.

After completing her LLB, Shilpa was unsure about her career path. She decided to pursue an LLM and was one of the seventeen students who started the course. Only three students remained till the end, and she was the only married student among them, even with a child to take care of. Despite these responsibilities, she worked hard and successfully completed her post-graduation in LLM. Later, she also completed her Ph.D.

Shilpa says that she began her teaching career as an Assistant Law Professor at Vardhman Law College in 2002. After two and a half years, she moved to B.N. College as an Assistant Professor. Finally, in 2007, she joined the University College of Law, MLSU, where she is currently an Associate Professor and the Course Director for the BA LLB program. She feels a sense of fulfillment in returning to the place where she once studied.

Shilpa shares that her family members and most of her in-laws are law graduates. While she initially had an interest in interior design or architecture, her father insisted she pursue law as a career. Over time, she developed an interest in the subject and realized her passion for teaching. She chose to become a professor of law and has found joy in her chosen profession.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Shilpa faced minimal problems in her profession. Most LLB classes concluded due to examinations, while some classes for the 2nd and 3rd years of BA LLB were conducted online by her and other professors. Personally, she believes the pandemic has emphasized the value of personal relationships and the importance of health.

Shilpa emphasizes the importance of legal awareness for every citizen of India. She believes that ignorance of the law is not an excuse, and knowing the law is crucial in today's society.

Shilpa encourages law students to focus on their career plans from the first year itself, as there are diverse career options in the field.

Shilpa’s father, a renowned District Judge, is her role model and the person who inspired her to pursue law. After marriage, her husband supported her and encouraged her to continue her studies. Her family and in-laws also cooperated and supported her in pursuing her dreams.

While Shilpa has a passion for her profession, she admits that law is not a creative field. If given the chance, she would have chosen a profession related to creativity, such as architecture or interior design.

Shilpa enjoys traveling and reading books in her free time.
