Dear Sir/Mam,

I have completed my graduation in B.Com, in supplementary examinations, and I'm very much interested in pursuing LLB since my intermediate, I'm in doubt whether if I score less than 50% of marks in my graduation, can I go for LLB or not ? Please assist me with this.

Yes, you can join LLB course after completion of graduation.

CLAT stands for Common Law Admission Test . It is a national level entrance test for the admission to UG, PG and Integrated law courses.

The eligibility criteria for LLB course after graduation are following:-

-The candidate must have completed graduation with a minimum of 45% marks (40% for reserved category) in any discipline from a recognized university.

- The minimum age limit to apply for the course is 17 years and there is no upper age-limit for admission.

Exam pattern of CLAT for PG courses:

The exam will be conducted for two hour duration which will consist of 150 multiple choice answer type questions .There will be 1 marks for each correct answer and deduction of 0.25 marks for each wrong attempt . The paper will consists of questions from the following areas:

Constitutional Law – 50 Questions

Jurisprudence – 50 Questions

Other law subjects – 50 Questions

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA for LLB:

> Applicant should have completed graduation in any stream from a recognized university.

> Applicant should have scored a minimum of 55% of marks in graduation.

> For SC/ST candidates it is fixed at 45%.

> Admission for LLB course is done on the basis on merit list of CLAT examination.

I am sorry to say that you cannot opt for LLB course if you are a general candidate as the minimum marks required in order to be eligible for CLAT examinations for General candidate is 55% in aggregate and for SC/ST candidates it is 45%.

Therefore, if you belong to the above mentioned reserved category candidate, you are very much eligible otherwise, I am sorry to say that you are not eligible for it.

The eligibility to study the LLB course is a pass in graduation degree like B.A or B.Com or B.Sc with 40% marks. There will be an entrance examination like Common Law Admission Test (CLAT), LAWCET etc for the admission to the law colleges. You have to clear the entrance examination to study the LLB course. The duration of the course is 3 years. The course is available in many law colleges like;

• Aligarh Muslim University - http://www.amu.ac.in/departmentpage.jsp?did=37
• Government Law College, Mumbai - http://glcmumbai.com/
• Indian Law Society Law College, Pune - www.ilslaw.edu/

Does I can do llb course by corresponding at the age of 36 as I completed bcom in 2005 ?
