As per your query, if you have done LLB And LLM and if you want to pursue PhD after that then you will have to give UGC Net exam in LAW. If you clear that exam then you will be able to pursue PhD or research fellowship through NET JRF.
I hope this will clear your all doubts and if you have any other query then we are always ready to help you.
Thank you
