FAQs
- How is a BA LLB course different from an LLB degree?
An LLB degree is a three-year programme that can be pursued after a Bachelor’s degree. However, a BA LLB can be pursued immediately after 10+2.
- What is the age limit to pursue BA LLB?
The Indian Supreme Court has not set any maximum age limit for pursuing a BA LLB degree as long as one meets the other eligibility requirements.
- What is the scope of a BA LLB degree in India?
Countless cases are filed in Indian courts daily, be it regarding criminal law, corporate law, family law, and others. Given that the time for case resolution is long and tedious, the scope for legal practice in India remains bright and full of hope.
- Is it possible to become a judge with a BA LLB degree?
Yes, it is possible to become a judge post-BA LLB; however, one cannot do so right off the bat. They need to appear for the State Judicial Service examination to apply for the position of a judge.
- Are scholarships available to study law in India?
Yes. The Minority Affairs Ministry awards merit-cum-means scholarships every year to students belonging to the economically weaker strata of the society. Besides this, universities may have their individual scholarship programmes in place; however, the availability, nature and extent of the scholarship may differ.
