Can I pursue a Ph.D. in law after getting a one year LL. M. degree?

Dear Student, Yes. You will need a Masters to pursue Ph.D. along with a UGC NET score. The LL. M. was reduced from a 2 year to 1yr, but it still remains a Masters. The University Grants Commission (UGC) has made it mandatory for all higher education institutions to follow the two-step process (entrance exam +interview) for selection of students for Ph.D. programmes. Any one with a Bachelor degree in law can apply for LL. M, provided the applicant should meet the minimum marks criteria for the qualifying degree stipulated by the concerned university. The branches of law, wherein LL. M being commonly offered are Criminal law, Constitutional law, Cyber law, International law, etc. There are multiple universities from where you can do 1-year LL. M. Like IILM University Gurugram offers with Moot Court Internship, Seminar, Workshops, Experiential Learning along with Inter-Disciplinary Curriculum.
