Hello,

Law program is of two types, first is integrated one based on 10+2 qualification for a duration of five years in many forms such as BA-LLB, BBA-LLB,BCom-LLB.While the three year duration LLB is based on graduation degree.

Eligibility of integrated law program is having passed 10+2 from a recogized board with minimum 50% aggregate, there's relaxation of 5% in case of reserved category.

Entrance test conducted as as follows-

CLAT, conducted by 14 NLUs across India

AILET, conducted by National Law University, Delhi

LSAT scores are accepted by many law schools such as Jindal Global Law School, Sonepat

SET, by Symbiosis Law Schools Pune & Noida

Next comes the three year LLB program for which eligibility criteria is candidate needs to passed Bachelor's Degree in any discipline from a reognized university  with 45% marks and in case reserved category it's 40%. Universities like DU and BHU require minimum 50% marks while universities like Kurukshetra, Rohtak, Meerut require  only 45% marks in graduation.

Entrance test conducted as follows-

DU LLB conducted by Delhi University

Hi Amrita

For class 12 student or pass out: 5-year LLB program is better and should be preferred.

For undergraduate student programs : 3-year LLB program is better and only option.

Actually, both 5-year and 3-year LLB programmes are equally good and absolutely equal in the eyes of law and otherwise for all practical purposes. It all depends on the fact that how good the law school or faculty is and how an individual student makes best use of it.


Hope it helps :)

Hello

The basic difference between 3 year law and 5 year law course is that 3 years LLB can be taken after completing graduation. While the 5 years long LLB course or integrated LLB course is taken after completing 12th standard.

The objective of 5-year LLB course and the 3-year LLB programme is same , the  only thing is that 5 year llb course focuses on basic graduation level subjects apart from core law education as well.
