Yes, you can take admission in a BA.LLB (5 years) course after passing 12th. Generally, the eligibility is a minimum of 45% marks for General category and 40% for SC/ST category students. In some colleges, admission is given on the basis of 12th class marks (merit), while in reputed law universities it is done through entrance exams like CLAT, AILET, or SLAT. Your interest in English will definitely help, because in law studies most of the legal language, case laws, and drafting are in English. If you wish to study law after completing graduation, then the 3-year LLB option is also available. The exact admission process will depend on the college or university where you want to apply.

You asked if BA LLB admissions are happening on merit basis as of 09/09/2025.

Many colleges in India still take BA LLB or LLB students on the basis of merit, which means they look at the marks you scored in your qualifying exam (12th marks for BA LLB and graduation marks for 3-year LLB). For example, Karnataka University, Bangalore University, and SDM Law College all take admission through merit lists prepared from marks. In these places there is no separate entrance exam.

At the same time, some universities and national law schools use entrance exams like CLAT, AILET, or NLSAT. These are not purely merit based, because your score in the entrance exam decides admission.

So the answer depends on which college or university you are applying to. Many state universities and private colleges are still open for merit based admission around September, but the exact process and dates vary.

In this round, vacant seats are filled purely on the basis of merit and availability. For 2025, Spot Round 1 has already taken place, and it was the final phase of the admission process.

With a score of 380/750 in BA LLB CUET UG and 228/500 in the EWS category, getting admission in the main campus may be challenging, as the cutoffs for main campuses are usually higher and very competitive. You might have a better chance in constituent or affiliated campuses of the university or through private colleges, which often have lower cutoffs and reserved EWS seats.
