LLB (three-year)
This three-year programme was first introduced in 1999 for postgraduate students who obtained their first Bachelor's degree in a field other than law, and who passed the final year with an aggregate of at least 60%. The programme introduces students to all branches of jurisprudence essential for a career as a legal practitioner and various other associated careers.
Just like the four-year LLB degree, this qualification enables you to follow a career as a legal practitioner after undergoing the prescribed vocational training and passing the entrance examination set by the profession.
