Law in India is regulated by the Bar Council of India (BCI). The dominant route after Class 12 is the 5-year integrated programme (BA LLB, BBA LLB, B.Com LLB, BSc LLB) at National Law Universities admitted through CLAT, plus AILET (NLU Delhi), LSAT-India, SET-Law (Symbiosis) and university-specific tests (NMIMS, CHRIST, Jindal). The traditional 3-year LLB (after any bachelor's) remains a strong second route, especially for late deciders.
Career outcomes go far beyond litigation: corporate law firms, in-house legal at companies, judiciary, civil services, policy think-tanks, journalism, sports/entertainment law, mediation and legal-tech. Gujarat National Law University (GNLU) in Gandhinagar is one of the top NLUs in the country.
