Overview
The Bachelor of Laws Honours (LLB Hons) is a graduate-entry law degree with an honours curriculum or additional specialist depth. It is separate from five-year integrated honours law programmes entered after Class 12, so students should verify the exact entry route and award title.
What students study
Students study constitutional, contract, criminal, family, property, company, procedural and evidence law, together with research, drafting and ethics. Honours structures may require advanced seminars, specialist electives, a dissertation or additional clinical work through moots, legal aid and internships.
Duration and study options
The graduate-entry LLB Hons is generally three years full time, though naming and honours requirements vary. Students intending to practise must verify current Bar Council of India recognition, clinical components, attendance, library access, internship support and the exact approved programme title.
Eligibility and admission
Applicants normally need a recognised bachelor’s degree with the marks and other requirements stated by the admission authority. Selection may use university or state law entrance tests, qualifying-degree merit, interviews and counselling under published rules.
Career and further study
After meeting professional enrolment requirements, graduates may pursue advocacy; related paths include legal research, corporate legal work, compliance, contracts, policy and public service. Options include LLM, specialist diplomas, judicial preparation, public policy and research.
