Courses Offered in National Law Universities (NLUs)

Getting admission into a National Law University is a dream of every law aspirant. Currently, there are 23 established National Law Universities in India. National Law Schoolof Indian University, Bangalore, also known as NLSIU, established itself at the first National Law University of the country in 1988 and Dr. BhimraoAmbedkar National Law University, Sonipat, is the last (23rd) established National Law University as of now. Unlike the traditional universities where Law is a separate degree that can only be pursued after graduation, NLUs give admissions after 12th standard, thereby integrating the graduation degree and the LL.B degree into a single degree and five year old course. The fact that pursuing LL.B. degree just requires an undergraduate degree and no specific degree, students of any stream can opt for LL.B. after graduation. The law students of a traditional university come from different academic backgrounds, which might not be the case in all the National Law Universities. Thestudents of most NLUs do have this liberty to choose the undergraduate degree of their and are bound to take up only the course or courses which are offered by the universities.

Irrespective of the undergraduate stream, legal analysis, legal research, legal writing and legal drafting remain the most critical and essential skills one needs in a law school.
