I have bachelor's degree in pharmacy .can I apply for LLM

Generally, you cannot directly apply for an LL.M. (Master of Laws) degree with only a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy.

Here is the essential information regarding the LL.M. eligibility and your options:

LL.M. Eligibility Requirement

• The prerequisite for admission to any LL.M. program in India is successfully completing an undergraduate degree in Law, which must be either a 3-year LL.B. or a 5-year Integrated Law degree (like B.A. L.L.B.).

• Since your B.Pharm degree is not a law degree, you do not meet the direct eligibility criteria for the LL.M. course.

Your Path to SpecializatioN

If your goal is to practice or specialize in Pharmaceutical or Health Laws, you must first acquire a foundational law degree:

1. Pursue an LL.B. Degree: You would need to enroll in a 3-year LL.B. program (as you already hold a Bachelor's degree). Admission is typically via an entrance exam like MHCET Law (3-Year) or DU LLB.

2. Then, Apply for LL.M.: After completing your 3-year LL.B., you would then be eligible to apply for an LL.M., ideally one specializing in Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), Medical Jurisprudence, or Patent Law—fields highly relevant to Pharmacy.

Hello,

In India, you cannot directly apply for LLM with a B.Pharm degree.

To do an LLM in India, you must first have an LLB degree . After completing LLB, you can apply for LLM .

So the steps are:

1. Complete LLB (3 years after graduation or 5 years after 12th).

2. Then apply for LLM .

In foreign countries many universities offer LLM for non-law graduates .
These programs are open to students from any bachelor’s background , including Pharmacy.
You may need to show interest in law or choose a field like healthcare law, intellectual property law, or regulatory law.

Hope it helps !

Hello Shreyanshi

No, you cannot directly apply for an LLM (Master of Laws) with a bachelor's degree in pharmacy, because an LLM is an undergraduate Law degree, such as an LLB. You must complete a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree after your pharmacy degree before you can apply for a Master of Laws. After getting an LLB degree, you can apply for an LLM program, meeting the eligibility criteria, such as the minimum percentage required. If you need full information about LLM, you can read the article LLM course, fees and Admission criteria from our official website, careers360.

Best Wishes.
