As per my findings, the law programmes in LPU are approved by Bar Council of India, School of Law is one of the best Law colleges in India and Punjab. To get direct admission B.A. LL.B. In Top Colleges, you should have qualified 10+2 or equivalent examination with at least 50% marks. Intermediate passed candidates can apply for an integrated course in law. The selection of the candidates is offered through written tests and interviews. But it varies from University to University. One of the pros of pursuing B.A. LL.B. Is the learning opportunities that prepare you to pursue a law profession in the corporate sector. Corporate sectors also include various distinguished law firms as well, where a graduate may receive a lucrative package. Although there are various Universities that offer this course, But I must advise one can go for University that offers this course with varies exposure, I. e. Lovely Professional University. For taking admission in LPU, students need to qualify in LPU NEST Exam. LPU NEST (Lovely Professional University National Eligibility & Entrance and Scholarship Test) is a National Level test conducted by LPU in Online Proctored mode this year.

Lovely Professional University · Answer

Dear Student, Students generally land up with pre placement offers from law firms, advocates, corporate houses, etc. For practice as interns. Many students go for Judicial services. A few choose higher studies and those who have good CGPA, land up with heavy scholarships for studies for LL. M. In some cases, students get monthly stipend whereas in other cases, students get monthly salary during training period. Students can attain positions as Legal Practitioner, Judicial Officer in civil, criminal, taxation, intellectual property right after completing their internships. Compulsory internship/training programme encourages students to conduct original research and inculcates in them the art of presenting a particular subject before the class. Internships and moot trials help you blend theoretical knowledge with practical challenges. You spend time on conducting mock trial courts and you work with NGOs, Supreme Court and High Court Judges, companies, law firms, both national and international. Ultimately it all depends on the student where he wants to see himself after graduating from the college and to identify in which branch of law his interests lies.
