In most of the Law schools, the LLB admission is based on the entrance exam. Universities either conduct individual entrance exams for LLB admissions or accept the score of any national-level entrance exam. Several other factors like the interview, performance in 12th standard, etc also play a major role in the process of admission.

LLB Courses

LLB programs can be divided into two categories: 

  • 3-year LLB: This program can be done only after the student has completed their undergraduate degree in any specialization.
  • 5-year LLB: This is a special integrated program where a 3-year undergraduate degree (BBA/BA/others) is followed by two years of specialization in LLB. This concept of Integrated LLB programs was first introduced by NLSIU in India. 

Admission for both these categories of programs are be done via several entrance tests conducted at the national, state, and university levels.
