My percentage in graduation is less than 45% and I wish to pursue LLB/LLM. Is it possible to get admission? How do I prepare for the same?

Hello, If you are looking for any University Grant Commission approved university, then it is difficult for you get chance with less than 45% marks. As the University Grant Commission has laid down the guidelines for taking admission in a LLB course. But, you can opt for a distance education degree where there is some relaxation. If you belong from any reserved category, then I would like to suggest you to check the criteria of the concerned institution. Because, there is some relaxation for the reserved candidates. Also, for LLM, less than 45% of marks in graduation is not adequate enough unless you belong from a specialized reserved candidates. You might get admission in any Private Law Colleges. But, if it comes under the scanner of Bar Council of India, then your admission can be declared as null and void.

You may get admissions in colleges where percentage criteria is 45% marks and the entrance test takes place for LLM or LLB, as combined weightage is given. As CLAT prescribes 45% marks as an eligibility, so you may get through for an LLM based on your CLAT scores, and thus you need not to worry. Also, you may get admission in 3rd year LLB at many traditional universities with 45 % marks. For CLAT (LLM), you have an MCQ based paper and is a 150 marks paper. 50 marks for constitutional law, 50 marks for jurisprudence and 50 for laws that include contracts, criminal, international law etc. Go for any good constitutional book such as JN Pandey for jurisprudence and other laws .Read the bare acts well as most of section based questions are asked. This is how you may get admission for LLM. For LLB after graduation, I would advise not to go for CLAT, as you may waste years. So, chose any traditional university for LLB and you can get it easily even with 45% marks.
