Students, who want to get admission in law, have to give the CLAT 2019 (Common Law Admission Test). CLAT gets organized for giving admission to the National Law Universities (NLUs) and a variety of other institutions. Through this test, students are admitted in Integrated L.L.B and L.L.M courses.

Students can opt for law courses with any stream (Science stream/ Commerce stream / Arts stream) in 12th.

BCI offers “Certificate of Practice” to candidates once they complete LL.B. For practicing in the profession of law and get a certificate, it is compulsory for applicants to qualify the All India Bar Examination (AIBE 2019).

Students who want to take up law courses from foreign Universities/institutions can apply for LSAT 2019. The admission in the Jindal Law Global School is done through the LSAT (Law School Admission Test) that is conducted by the Law School Admission Council, USA.

There are many private and autonomous universities that conduct their own admission test. Here are some popular law entrance exams to take up law courses after 12th and higher studies:

  • AILET 2019
  • AP LAWCET 2019
  • TS LAWCET 2019
  • DU LLB 2019
  • MH CET Law 2019
  • IPU CET Law 2019
  • Allahabad University (LAT) 2019

Hi, You can apply for law after 12th. You can apply for 5 year integrated law program that is BALLB/BBALLB/Bcom LLB etc. To get admission in these courses there are various law entrances you can appear for like CLAT, BLAT, AILET, IPU CET, LSAT India etc.

Once you clear the exams you can get admission in top law colleges of India. Fees and course structure varies in all law institutes.

After you complete your 5 year law course, you can appear for AIBE entrance exam and there after you will get a liscene to practice in court and so on.

Thereafter if you wish to, can pursue LLM to get specialize in  your area of interest liek criminal law, corporate law etc.

The forms for various law exams start in December end or Jan first week.

Now that you are in 11th, you have a year to start preparing for basics, like work on your vocabulary, regular news reading and current affairs update etc.

Good Luck.

Most of the time will be spent sitting behind a desk. So you want to make sure you get a better sense of what being a lawyer is like before you make a decision. Perhaps look and see if you can get a short internship in a law firm. These are your struggling years. Once you get the lawyer skills, your own unique way, earn name and fame.

You can open your firm as well. Consultancy firm. There are many good things you can do with a law degree. You can be a legal adviser. Many things for you to consider.

But the thought of being unemployed might be the problem... with no money for startups.

Opening a firm is not an immediate step. For it you need a lot of expertise and guidance. While you are in the phase of gaining experience and knowledge you will learn ways to start up your own venture. So a bit of patience and being clear with your goals is what you need to focus on. Everything will happen but if planned and executed. All the best.
