Students from any background can pursue BA LLB but must have cleared state-level or national-level entrance exams such as CLAT, MHCET, DU LLB, CUET UG, AILET, LSAT, AMU Entrance Exam etc.
After completing 12th from a recognized board, students can apply for BA LLB admission through law entrance exams such as CLAT, LSAT India, AILET, etc or direct admissions. On an average, the BA LLB course fees ranges between 1.5-7 lakhs.
Admission to BA LLB course is done on the basis of scores obtained in entrance exams which are conducted at a national level or state level or at a university level. CLAT, also known as the Common Law Admission Test, is one of the popular BA LLB law entrance exams in India. Candidates who successfully qualify CLAT can get admission into reputed law institutes that provide BA LLB courses in India. Some of the other popular BA LLB law entrance exams are LSAT India, AILET, DUET, etc. Not all admissions to BA LLB course are done on the basis of entrance exams, a few law colleges select BA LLB aspirants based on merit whereas few law institutes provide direct admission to students to the BA LLB program after group discussion/ personal interview/ written test.
Admission to the BA LLB course is provided in three modes. Each of the three modes is explained below:
BA LLB Entrance Exam Based Admission:
Several admission tests for law schools are held at various levels. Some colleges accept national test scores, while others only accept students who pass state or university-level entrance tests. To select candidates, several law schools offer their own institute-level admission tests. Depending on which college a candidate intends to attend, he or she will be needed to take the exam for admission to the BA LLB program.
CLAT, LSAT, AILET, and others are some of the most popular BA LLB admission exams. The majority of BA LLB law entrance exams include multiple-choice questions based on law subjects to assess candidates' legal knowledge, logical thinking, and legal reasoning, among other skills. In India, the majority of the BA LLB law entrance exams last 1.5 to 2 hours with MCQ-based questions.
BA LLB Merit-Based Admission:
There are a few colleges that provide merit-based admission to the BA LLB program. Students get admitted to some law schools in India depending on their 10+2 or equivalent examination result from a recognized board. As a result, after considering applicants' 12th class results, applicants for BA LLB at these colleges are shortlisted. The BA LLB colleges compile a merit list, with applicants with better grade point averages in class 12 receiving priority. All students who desire to pursue a BA LLB degree at one of these universities must focus on achieving the maximum possible grade in their class 12 board examination.
BA LLB Direct Admission:
If there are available seats, a few BA LLB colleges in various states may provide direct admission to BA LLB students. Admission to these colleges is on a first-come, first-served basis until all seats are filled. Other than their primary method of admissions, certain BA LLB colleges may perform an additional round of Group Discussion, Written Ability Test, and/ or Personal Interview. In such circumstances, the BA LLB aspirants must pass all admissions rounds to be considered for admission into the BA LLB course. For BA LLB direct admission, a BA LLB law entrance exam is not mandatory but to increase your chances of getting admission to a BA LLB program via direct entry, you must fare well in all of the above-mentioned BA LLB admission rounds conducted by various BA LLB colleges.
Good luck.
