About LLB
A Bachelor of Legislative Law (LLB) is an undergraduate law degree available in two formats: a 3-year LLB for candidates who already hold a bachelor's degree in any stream, and a 5-year integrated LLB (such as BA LLB or BBA LLB) for students straight out of Class 12. Both routes qualify graduates to practice law after enrolling with the Bar Council of India.
Admission to top law schools in India is primarily through CLAT, with AILET and LSAT India serving as institute-specific or alternate routes. The program combines core legal subjects with moot court practice, internships, and (for the integrated route) foundational subjects from the attached bachelor's degree.
Program Structure
3-Year LLB (Post-Graduation)

5-Year Integrated LLB (Post-Class 12)
