What is an Integrated LLB Course?

An integrated course, offered by many eminent universities in India, aims to get lawyers ‘industry-ready’. Also, the course provides two degrees to the student, one of which is law and the other is chosen by the student.

When studying for an integrated law course, a student gets two traditional degrees. While the law course is all about pursuing the LLB degree from a Law School. On the other hand, the integrated degree is a modern approach to the course. Because, in an Integrated course, a student covers two courses under one academic program.

The most common integrated law courses that students go for include

  1. A. L.L.B.     -Bachelor of Arts and Law programs
  2. Com. L.L.B.-Bachelor of Commerce and Law Programs
  3. Sc. L.L.B.     -B.Sc. and Law programs

Moreover, students can pursue Law programs (L.L.B.) through a postgraduate course and a student must be a graduate to become eligible to pursue the L.L.B degree. However, since the integrated law course includes a Bachelor’s degree course as well, the two can be combined.

In fact, Sharda University offers plenty of options for students who are interested in pursuing the integrated law course.
