I am a student of B.Sc second year , I want to know that what should I do. I go for BALLB or LLB after graduation???

LLB course is an option available for you. Graduation is the basic qualification required. Duration of the course is 3 years. Upper age limit for this course is 30 years. Duration of B.A LLB program is 5 years. Generally an integrated course will be more suitable for 10 +2 passed candidates as you will be specializing in that area from graduation itself.

Before I answer you question first thing you should know is that BA LLB and LLB are almost same course and the job scope in the legal field after both courses is same. You are not going to get any advantage of doing BA LLB over LLB.

Now you should understand the difference between two courses. There are basically two ways to pursue the LLB degree. Firstly you can apply for BA LLB course after completing 12th. This is a five years course which also include B.A. degree.

The second way is that you complete graduation course and then apply for LLB admission which in this case would be 3 years long.

So here is the difference, since graduation course is required to do LLB course, Bar Council of India introduced BA LLB degree which would include subjects of B.A. and LLB. By opting for BA LLB after completing 12th you would be completing the LLB course is five years comparing to graduating first following by LLB course which would take six years to complete.

Therefore the bottom line is that if after completing 12th you take admission for BA LLB course, you will save one year. However in your case since you are already pursuing B.Sc, the ideal choice would be LLB course of 3 years.

Now in order to get admission in Law College for LLB course, firstly you need to appear in CLAT entrance exam. Below are the eligibility details for both courses - BA LLB and LLB.


Eligibility:

BA LLB

1. You must have passed 12th from a recognised board in India for BA LLB course.

4. You must have completed 12th before applying for CLAT entrance exam.

Since you are already in the second year and pursuing a course there is no point leaving that mid-way for law. I would rather suggest you to complete your graduation first and then go for LLB because that means one and the same thing.

As a profession law has gained a lot of mileage these days. What is more interesting is that along with boys these days girls are showing enough interest in this subject. Most of them after completing this course is looking to work as corporate lawyers in various companies.

Those students who do not want to take the conventional route can always opt for law because apart from being financially lucrative, the challenge and the uniqueness attached with this profession makes it more attractive and glamorous.

In our day to day life the need of a legal adviser for various reasons is simply undeniable. But it should be remembered that this is one course where more than academic excellence, experience and professional competency counts. Just a degree wont be able to fetch you all success until and unless you have the presence of mind to stick around.

LLB is a three years course which can be done by students who have completed their graduation. After this you will be eligible to go for LLM even. Apart from LLB lot of diploma courses are also available for you and these courses can be done in several disciplines of law. Listing below a few of them here.

Various Areas of Specialization:

• Labour Law
• International Law
• Patent Law
• Corporate Law
• Criminal Law
• Administration Law
• Constitutional Law
• Civil Law
• Taxation Law

A list of entrance examinations can be given for pursuing this course out of which L.L.B Entrance Test by the Faculty of Law, Delhi is one of the most popular one.This school is one of the best law school in India as it not only attracts students from different parts of India but also from abroad. Students comes from Europe, America and South Africa.

>>For the OBC category or for widows or ex-service personnel the percentage to secure is 45 percent of marks.

>>Even the persons with disabilities are entitled to get a relaxation of 5 percentage.

>>For the SC/ST candidates there is no percentage to maintain as such which means if they are able to manage the pass marks somehow then they will be considered eligible to give the examination.

>>The maximum age limit for pursuing this three years' duration course is 30 years. This rule has been set by the Bar Council of India.

For this entrance exam questions will come from the following sections:
