Hi


It's not like 5 year integrated llb is better than 3 year llb.

This is because,

Both are llb only.

The only way in which five year integrated LLB is better than 3 year LLB is that you can pursue  it directly after 12th  and also it saves your time because in order to be eligible for 3 year LLB you need to be at least a graduate and even if you pursue graduation courses like BA etc it will take you 3 years and then 3 years of LLB  means you will be spending 6 years after 12th, while in case of 5 year integrated LLB it will take only 5 years after 12th. One more advantage of 5 year integrated llb is that it is available in NLUs which are the top notch law colleges but they don't offer 3 year llb. Still there are good options like DU for 3 year llb.

To help you further,

Here's complete detail of llb in brief

LLB i. e. Bachelor of Legislative Law, is an undergraduate law programme .

One has the option to pursue llb in two ways:-

  • 5 year llb /integrated llb like BA llb, Bcom llb etc :- One becomes eligible for 5 year integrated LLB like BA LLB etc with qualification of 10 + 2

  • 3 year llb :- for 3 year llb , you need to be  a graduate.

-----------)  You need to appear in entrance exam

-----------) Qualify the entrance exam

-----------)     Participate in counselling

-----------)    In  counselling, you will be alloted college on the basis of rank in the entrance exam

-----------)   Finally you need to get your documents verified and then you can get admission in the alloted college.

Also, there are some colleges which admission in LLB  on the basis of  marks obtained by you in class 12th for 5 year llb  and graduation for 3 year LLB but top colleges like NLUs and other good colleges offer admission through entrance only.
