1. How to Navigate the LLB Admission
Process in India: A Guide for Aspiring Law
Students
Understanding what the LLB admission process involves
Setting out on a legal‑education journey in India can feel like stepping into a maze — but it
doesn’t have to be confusing. When you’re aiming for an undergraduate law degree, you’ll
typically be choosing between:
●​A 3‑year LLB (after graduation in any discipline)​

●​Or a 5‑year integrated course (for students just after 12th grade)​

Either way, you’ll face several stages: eligibility checks, entrance exams, applications,
counselling and finally seat allocation. Knowing each of these steps will help you approach your
law‑admission journey with clarity rather than anxiety.
Checking your eligibility early – what to know
Eligibility is the first checkpoint. Here are typical requirements:
●​For a 5‑year integrated law programme (e.g., BA + LLB), you must have completed
10+2 from a recognised board.​

●​For a 3‑year LLB, you must have a bachelor’s degree in any discipline with a minimum
aggregate.​

●​Some institutions may have additional conditions, though many times there’s no upper
age limit.​

Identifying which programme fits you best
You’ll want to decide which law programme is the right fit:

2. ●​The 5‑year integrated route is ideal for students just out of school.​

●​The 3‑year LLB route suits graduates.​

●​LLB‑LLM integrated courses offer an efficient postgraduate pathway.​

Entrance exams: your gateway to admissions
Entrance exams include CLAT, AILET, LSAT India, and state/university-specific tests. These
typically test:
●​English comprehension​

●​Logical reasoning​

●​Legal aptitude​

●​Current affairs​

Understanding the syllabus and pattern early on will give you a clear edge.
