I have completed my Higher Secondary. Can I directly study Law? What is BA LLB? Is it fully about Law or normal BA course? Give detail syllabus of BA LLB. Is there any other short term course in Law which can be done after 12th?

LLB stands for Bachelor of Legislative law and the name suggests it is a professional degree course after pursuing which one heads towards becoming lawyer.

Basically, on the basis of duration of course and educational qualification of applicants LLB courses are of two types which are as discussed below:

1. LLB course of five years, for one who opt for the same course after completing his higher secondary school degree course from a recognized board.

2. LLB course of three years, for one who opt for the same course after completing their graduation degree course in any discipline.

Also for pursuing the same course for National Law University (NLU) you are required to clear CLAT ( Common Law Admission Test) and for appearing in the same examination.

Your age must be under 20 years along with minimum 45% marks aggregate in your Higher Secondary School Degree Course.

BA LLB course just allows you to purse law degree after completing 12th. BA LLB has course from a graduation course and LLB.

The best option is to apply for Common Law Admission test. CLAT is an entrance exam for admission in integrated five years BA LLB course. It is conducted every year by National Law University.

The academic qualification required for this exam is:

You should be 12th passed with minimum of 45% marks. Board appearing candidates are also eligible to apply for examination.

You can apply for CLAT after 12th to get admission in BA LLB. BA LLB is a five years integrated course.
