Legal education in India primarily takes place in law schools, which offer undergraduate and postgraduate programs. The most common undergraduate degree is the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.), typically a three-year course for graduates or a five-year integrated program for students after high school. These programs cover various aspects of law, including constitutional, criminal, and civil law.
In addition to traditional law schools, the National Law Universities (NLUs) provide specialized legal education and are known for their rigorous admission process through the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT). Legal education in India aims to equip students with the necessary skills to practice law and contribute to the legal system.
