L.L.B.- Bachelor of Legislative Law is an undergraduate Law course. Law is a set of categorized rules and regulations under which any society or country is governed. Just like it's a postgraduate counterpart i.e. LL.M, the course is unconventionally abbreviated as L.L.B. The course is also offered as B.L. (Bachelor of Law) in certain institutes or certain regions, example N.V.P. Law College. Bachelor of Law is the 3-year course. The course arrangement is divided into 6 semesters. On completion of the 3 year course, i.e., after the 6th semester, the LL.B. degree is awarded. Students who desire to study the law, but do not wish to practice as advocates are eligible for the LL.B (general) Degree, at the end of the 2nd year i.e. after the 4th semester. In most of the law schools, the course should be completed within 6 years which is a maximum time period to finish the course. The legal education apex body in India is the Bar Council of India. This Bar Council monitors and regulates the system of legal education in India. Before 1984, the course was of 3 years duration only. However, upon the suggestion by the Law Commission of India and the Bar Council of India specialised Law Universities solely devoted to legal education were established. These provided a multi-disciplinary and integrated approach to legal education. Thus, there are 2 options for Legal Courses - 3 years L.L.B. course for graduates and 5-year course for under graduates. The 5-year course degree with BA L.L.B. (Honors) degree is obtained by students who complete the integrated degree course. Other degrees in law offered are B.Sc., LLB and B.B.A, L.L.B after 5 years of study in law colleges. Both the types of degrees - 3 years and 5-year integrated honours are recognised and are also qualifying degrees for the practice of the legal profession in India. All fresh law graduates or those who have already cleared their law graduation but have not yet enrolled with the bar council must clear a bar examination (All India Bar Examination) to be entitled to practice before courts or tribunals in India. The process of enrollment confers a license to the holder to practice before any court in India and give legal advice. The entire procedure of enrollment and post-enrollment professional conduct is regulated and supervised by the Bar Council of India. L.L.B. law degree qualifies a student to become a lawyer or work in a legal department.
