The Bachelor of Legal Science & Bachelor of Laws (BLS LLB) is a five-year integrated law course. To be eligible, candidates must have completed their Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) or 10+2 from a recognized board with a minimum percentage, which varies by university (usually around 45% for general category, with relaxation for reserved categories). Admission is typically based on entrance exams like the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test for Law (MH CET Law) or other state/national-level law entrance tests.
Applicants must meet age criteria if specified by the university, and reserved category candidates often get relaxation in eligibility marks as per government norms. Some universities also require domicile certificates for state quota admissions. The first two years focus on foundational legal subjects (BLS), while the remaining three years emphasize core legal studies (LLB). Candidates with strong analytical, reasoning, and communication skills are ideal for this course, as it prepares them for careers in law, judiciary, and legal consultancy.
